TMI

I like and I don’t like new underwear.  Sure it is nice to have new underwear but new underwear is never as comfortable as a broken in ‘older’ pair.   I had a few pairs that were broken in quite nicely but the kids would always laugh and Aya said I can’t walk around in front of the kids with my old ‘holey’ underwear. 

I usually don’t wear red short under my underwear but I didn’t want to make everyone drool seeing all my junk.  For example, this pair was nicely ventilated:

This one had better ‘coverage’ but was nice as well:

Almost identical to the pair above.  Honestly I dunno how it rips in the middle thigh portion?

This was my favorite pair but Aya didn’t like it when the kids were around…my GLADIATOR pair:

I was totally thinking about marketing a pair like this.  It had a slit on the side and sometimes it would fold all the way open.  It was nice and ‘breezy’…kinda like wearing underwear but not really.

In any case, Aya made me get rid of ALL my ‘holey’ underwear and now I have a whole bunch of new ones.

4th of July

Boo….no fireworks at the Culver City High School this year because the field is being renovated.  Instead we went to the movies to watch Despicable Me 2:

What happened to the summer movies where I could watch action, killing, gratuitous nudity…now I am stuck watching a kids cartoon….and it wasn’t even good.

After we went to dinner at Grandpa & Grandma’s house and Stacy decided she wanted to wear makeup:

Ugh.  Girls.

Cousins…

Aaron stopped off for visit during his vacation to the mainland.  It gave Jack and Stacy a chance to play with their cousin.  Jack having fun on Stacy’s roller coaster:

So did Aureanna:

And Abi:

Although it was really meant for AJ:

It was nice Jack and Stacy got to play with their cousins for a few hours:

Vogue…

It had been hot lately, so I turned the fan on and Stacy used the opportunity to have wind blown hair and to strike a pose:

Girls.  I think this one is going to be TROUBLE.

Graduation…

Jack passed 1st grade with flying colors!   Jack continued to progress throughout the school year and does very well in math and reading.  He kind of stinks at art but outside that he was a stellar student.  To celebrate Jack wanted to go Paul Martin’s for dinner:

Stacy is a chip off the old block eating cheese and meat with mom:

The real reason Jack like’s Paul Martin’s is for the chocolate cake:

Next year the 2nd grade!!

Music Class…

I thought Jack’s class was doing a small music recital so I left work early to watch.   Sadly when I got to school it was just music class and parents could go and see what the kids have learned.  It wasn’t bad, Jack could read some music sheets and play on his scales:

Jack goofing around with his best friend from school, Winston:

Baseball…

Baseball season finally game to a close.  Jack’s team really got better from the start of the season.  We went from a TERRIBLE team to a Not-So-Good team.   Jack ended up paying attention in the field more and even getting some defensive outs:

Jack really improved his hitting:

His awareness was up as well as Jack was starting to really run hard when the ball was put in play:

Coming around to score!!

Jack’s cheering squad, Grandma and Grandpa and Stacy:

Jack wasn’t so good at catcher, but at least he looks like a player.   I will say this, Jack is not afraid of the ball or getting hit.  He would squat right in back of the hitter and I would have to tell him to go farther back because a lot of kids still throw the bat:

Uncle Su came out for the last game:

Another trophy for Jack’s collection":

Disneyland Part 6…

Jack normally sticks to the kiddie rides but I got him to go on Splash Mountain:

I think he liked it but he said he was a little ‘scared’:

All in all a good day at the Magic Kingdom:

Stacy already wants to go back for her birthday next year:

Disneyland Part 5…

Now that Stacy was dolled up like a princess she had to go and meet the OTHER princesses:

I know the last one was snow white but I have no idea who this princess is:

Or this one…is Barbie a princess?

I had never even known Disneyland had a princess section!!   It was all a first for me.  Jack didn’t like it much….hahahhaha…Rapunzel. 

Disneyland Part 4…

Aya and I took Stacy to Bippity-Boppity-Boo.  What a racket!  There are no prices and everything is a la carte, but basically it is a shop that lets you make over your daughter for a price.  Stacy got the Cinderella package, so that means she got a dress, her finger nails done, makeup and hair extensions.   You get the check at the end and it is a pretty little penny (not including tip)…but Stacy loved it.
Stacy getting her dress:

Hair and nails:

I was against it because I thought it looked lame, but Stacy wanted blond hair extensions:

Time for some makeup:

Can’t forget the crown:

For future parents that take their daughers, I suggest you go with NO glitter (I had glitter all over my car for weeks)…but here was the hairspray and the fairy dust glitter:

My princess:

Disneyland Part 3…

We twisted and twirled on the teacups.  The kids like to go fast…and this how you know you are old…Aya didn’t feel well going super fast on the teacups:

Rode on Casey the train:

Alice in Wonderland:

Toon Town:

It’s heavy!!
