We played the Evergreen Knights. We have never seen them play before and the game started fast and furious with kids knocking down jumpers left and right. It was a close game back and forth but we went on a late run in the second half and played good defense, winning game 1, 26-20.
We celebrated Uncle Bryan’s birthday at Sakura:
Uncle Bryan with his presents:
So close! We almost had a picture without someone messing it up, but Stacy sort of was making a silly face:
And then it was on like Donkey Kong:
I somehow got suckered into taking the kids to the pool on my own. With Stacy being the one you have to watch, I decided not to take any chances and I just tied a noodle around her:
Jack, doing his thing:
Put he is his mother’s son:
Since Stacy likes to do puzzles and draw, we bought her a kids desk/table. She loves it. She can build her puzzles on it instead of doing it on the floor and she can do lots of drawings now:
The problem with dividing the pictures of the kids is that sometimes I forget who has which pictures. In any case, I forgot Stacy made a card for Aya for Mother’s day:
Along with a family portrait:
Dawn hosted Mother’s Day dinner for us:
Happy Mother’s day!
Aya and I went to Jack’s open house. It was nice to hear how well Jack is doing in school. He made this paper machete head of himself:
He also had his map of Africa displayed for doing a good job (figures he had Africa):
Best of all, Jack is leading the pack in Math:
I took a day off from work (I am maxed out on my vacation time, so I basically have to take a day off every paycheck). I got Aya to leave work early and we went to the movies. A new dine-in theater opened up. Turns out you have to be 21 to go. They serve alcohol and they bring you food throughout the movie. There is a call box and menu and you just order away.
The theater also has nice electronic recliners and table to make it easy to eat. It was pretty nice. The theater only holds about 50 people so there is lots of room. Ticket prices were bad either:
Jack had his first school dance. It was a formal dance as well, the kids had to dress up for the dance. I didn’t think Jack would want to go but when we asked he said he wanted to go.
Aya was his ‘date’ for the dance.
Stacy had a make up class for Gymnastics so Aya and I were able to watch her one weekend:
She is so good:
Just so amazing at what she can do compared to when Jack went:
So proud watching her at gymnastics:
Jack is doing quite well at baseball. His sad team is actually playing very well now. Jack got to start the game reciting the baseball oath:
And then proceeded to have a 4 hit day:
Today he was even ready and paying attention out in the field:
Not only do the kids get to play at the pool, they also have fun at Grandpa & Grandma’s house with the water:
Hmm, I forgot to mention, they are in their underwear:
I guess Jack’s coach finally got tired of being the worst team in the league. We now have practice 1.5 hours before the game to get some extra BP:
All that translated into our FIRST win of the season:
I thought we would be winless! So glad to just get ONE win.
