Hans gave us with Clipper season ticket invite to NBA All-Star fan fest celebration a few weeks ago. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
As we entered the convention center there was a long walkway with people cheering and high-fiving us during our entrance:
I thought it was funny that Jack didn’t really know what to do. I think he was just shocked from all the cheering.
Jack’s first tooth came out at Grandma and Grandpa’s house but this time, I was at home and it was time for Jack to go to bed. I told him to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. Jack casually comes out of the bathroom
and says, “Dad… LOOK! My tooth came out!”
What?! Really?? Let me see…
I guess it has been a long time since I have seen a tooth freshly come out so I thought it was weird to just see a hole where the tooth used to be…and it was pooled up with blood. I was thinking, “eewww” but I didn’t want it to seem like a big deal for Jack so was totally nonchalant about the whole thing.
I told Jack that we should go back to the bathroom to wash out his mouth. As Jack was washing his mouth, I noticed his flosser was all bloody.
Miles: How did you tooth come out?
Jack: I used the flosser.
Miles: So you were flossing and your tooth came out?
Jack: No, I used the flosser on my loose tooth and pulled on it and my tooth came out.
GROSS! UGH…EWWWW. Man, no way could I pull out my own loose tooth…I am just glad Jack is a lot braver than I am!
$1 dollar from the tooth fairy! We were at a birthday party and Jack saw and older kid playing Angry Birds Valentine’s Day edition on his iPhone. Jack asked if we could buy it but I said it is too expensive…it is $2 bucks. I told Jack if he gives me his $1 from the tooth fairy, I will pony up the other $1 and I would buy it for Jack on the iPad. I hope Jack doesn’t try to pull out his other teeth for some video game cash!
We had surprise guests in town to help celebrate Aya’s birthday this year. Mike, Sheri and Rylee were on vacation and stopped by the house to celebrate Aya’s birthday with us.

I would be spending a fortune if I didn’t have a digital camera. This one was almost good except Stacy wasn’t looking:
I love this one because this just proves Jack is just like his mom…eye-balling the cake.
Happy Birthday Aya!!
With Jack doing so well in Basketball, I thought maybe his eye hand coordination was improving to play some tennis. Sadly all this proves is that I am awesome photographer because Jack SUCKED at hitting tennis balls!
Keep your eye on the ball!!
Out of 50 balls he only hit 3 of them over the net! He either missed the ball or didn’t hit the ball hard enough. It was painful to watch. Jack had more fun picking up the balls and throwing them around the tennis court.
I was more nervous he was going to lose his grip on the racket and throw it at me!
Hmm, I guess not only do Stacy and I both like and look good in yellow but we also have wildly uncontrollable morning bed head!
Happy Friday everyone!
Jack likes to be outside but he doesn’t love to be outside. It seems Stacy really enjoys being outside and going for walks in her buggy:
Vroom-vroom:
It was so nice over the weekend we tried to spend as much time as possible outside. Despite Stacy’s scared look on her face, she really had fun going down the slide:
It is nice to see Jack and Stacy playing together and going down the slide. Too bad they aren’t a bit closer in age so they could play more together.
When Jack was just 18 weeks old he had a blue jack with bear ears:
My parents got Stacy a pink version of the ‘bear ear’ coat:
Last week was a lazy week for me...I thought I had scheduled some updates but obviously I didn't and then I realized I had a few weeks worth of pictures on my digital camera but I was just too lazy to download the pictures. I am back at it this week.
Got together to watch the Superbowl at my parents house:
Lucy and Maggie were in the Superbowl spirit:
Of course we had some betting….Aya was the only one to win in our family. I had felt bad for Tom so I made some lousy picks so Tom could win for once! =)
What? Again? What’s up with this guy…he fell asleep AGAIN!!
This time we all headed to the park and Jack and Aya engaged in some 1 on 1. Um, if you ever wondered why I am worried Jack won’t be any good, just watch how “Mom” plays ball:
Even when I mess up, I still have decent pictures…and I don’t even have an expense handy dandy camera like Jenny or Bryan.
Not quite in focus but sort of looks like the Joker…pale with bright lips.
I am not sure how the background got blurry but it works for me!
This one got blurry but I like it…it is almost like I meant to take pictures like this!
In the gearing up for the SuperBowl, Jack and I played a little ‘Kill the Carrier’ over the weekend. Unfortunately our ‘friendly’ game turned into a battle scarred game.
First up, Jack fumbled the ball and I reached out to grab the ball. When I was reaching out to grab the ball, Jack jumped up and tried to run and jump for the ball. Sadly, Jack jumped on my finger that was wrapped around the ball…sadly my finger could only bend so far before the back of my finger nail slightly popped out. As I pulled my finger out in pain, I must have tripped Jack and he went face first into his train set and got a big cut on his face.
Yup, no more football in the house for us. Nope, no picture of my finger, so I leave you with Buzz Lightyear!
Yeah, so ever since I found that color accent setting on my camera I have been using it all the time. Since Stacy wears so much pink, I usually set it to the pink color accent and it came out well with Stacy’s lips and rosy cheeks:
