Disneyland Part 3...

While waiting for the Frozen show we met Sophia the First:

More standing around and waiting but now we are first in line for the Frozen sing-a-long show.  Man, parents were running and shoving and saving seats to get into the theater:

We basically saw the cliff-noted version of the Frozen movie on screen.  The kids sing a long karaoke style:

The show is mixed in with live action performers:

Stacy loved it!!  This Frozen thing is a cash cow!

Disneyland Part 2...

We were the first ones in line as the gate to California Adventure opened and it was a mad dash to get fast pass tickets for the Frozen Show, the meet and greet with Anna and Elsa and to go and see Olaf.

 Luckily we got to meet Anna and Elsa first:

A nice start to the day but I am stressed out about getting to the Frozen show and seeing Olaf:

Disneyland Part 1...

Aya and I asked Stacy what she wanted to do for her 5th birthday.  We told her she could have a birthday party, inivte a friend over to have a sleep over or we could go to Disneyland.  Stacy chose Disneyland!

Aya and I took a day off from work and Stacy got to miss school:

We got there early and had some breakfast.  Stacy enjoying her first cup of hot coco:

We found out that Anna and Elsa from Frozen moved from Disneyland to California Adventure so we had to buy park hopper tickets.  Now we are just waiting to get in:

Pool...

While some people have to deal with cold temperatures it was in the 80's in So. Cal a week ago.  We decided to go to the pool.  I just got a new under water camera case and I wanted to test it out:

It was hard to see the LED screen under water in the pool so I basically have to point and shoot and hope for the best:

Not too bad.  This will definitely come in handy for the summer!

Venice Pirates...

Jack's CBO season is done and we came in 5th place out of 11 teams.  Not quite the season I was hoping for but when I think about it, we had a very good season.   We needed to win the last game of the season to have a chance of entering the Megalopolis tournament.  Unfortunately, we just couldn't pull it out:

We were down 2 at the half but you can't teach height and the other team was able to get some easy baskets in the second half to increase their lead.  We fought back and caught up:

But couldn't pull it out in the end:

The top 3 teams in the league are way better than us.  Tall, talent, smaller roster.  The 4th best team has the giant on it and then there is us.   We are a great silver division team but we are a terrible gold team.  Hopefully one of our kids will grow over the summer so we can compete next year!

Cayden's Birthday...

We celebrated Cayden's first birthday:

Now, we have been to LOTS and LOTS of kids parties but this party had the best balloon maker I have ever seen.  She knew how to make lots of balloon art and she was quick. A tiara for princess Stacy:

Minnie Mouse for Aunty Paul and Elsa for Stacy:

First tooth...

We noticed a week or so ago that Stacy was getting another tooth growing in.  I guess it is called "sharks teeth" when you can see the permanent tooth growing in before the baby tooth falls out:

Well, I guess when your permanent tooth is growing in it is just a matter of time before the baby tooth falls out:

The tooth fairy came and gave Stacy $5 for her first missing tooth!

Happy Birthday...

We celebrated Aya's birthday this weekend!  The big 4-0 for Aya.  Flowers from her brother:

Dinner at Sakura and then cake at Grandpa and Grandma's house:

Happy Birthday!

Playdate...

This will be Stacy's final year of preschool.  Aya and I are kind of worried that Stacy will be really bored in Kindergarten.  She is doing addition, subtraction, reading comprehension and writing.  Her school work is so neat.  Before school is out, Stacy is having fun playing with her best friend Sadie:

Lunch at Islands:

Artwork at Color Me Mine:

Playing Princesses at home (I am thinking Stacy will be Snow White for Halloween):

Grandma's Birthday...

We celebrated Grandma's 67th birthday at ROC.  It was kind of a fancy dim sum place, but rather trek out to the eastside this place was on the westside.  Grandma and Grandpa looking 'happy' to be here:

I gotta say it was pretty good.  It was my first time having the soup dumplings:

Happy Birthday!

Frozen...

After our family dinner my brother in-law gives us Stacy's birthday present.  Seems innocent enough:

But this is how I know my brother in-law hates me...a Frozen karaoke machine:

This is what I have to endure:

More Birthday...

On to the next celebration as we celebrated Stacy's birthday with Aya's side of the family:

I have a Dream

I am not sure this is what Martin Luther King had in mind when he gave his, "I have a Dream" Speech but Stacy did some MLK school work:

Stacy's dream "was":

I had to fulfill her dream so Stacy helped me wash cars:

Check another item off Stacy's bucket list!

Stacy Birthday Cake...

Stacy was not satisfied with just ice cream from the restaurant for her birthday, we had to go to Grandpa and Grandma's for more cake and ice cream!

We took 5 'normal' family shots and only one came out okay but we took 5 goofy ones and all of those came out fine!

Stacy's 5th Birthday...

We started Stacy's birthday with a family dinner at Sakura:

Grandpa, Grandma & Jack:

Uncle Bryan and Aunty Dawn:

 Little T-Sizzle:

Happy Birthday!
