Busy, busy, busy...

...or lazy, lazy, lazy...not sure which. As most of you know, Mia and I have moved to Danville. We love our new house and neighborhood. We have been very active this summer so far, but I haven't been motivated to carry my camera. But that's about to change now that I read back on the blog and see how much fun it is to blog and relive times with the kids.

I've added some posts of old photos I had on my phone, so it's a peak at the kids over the past couple of months. But I promise to stay on top of it now that we're all moved in and settled. Stay tuned for summer fun with the kids!

Swim lessons

Mia, Jalen & Dan Dan are taking swim lessons this summer. It is quite a commitment, since it's 4x's a week and a total of 1 1/2 hours (1/2 hour each). But it's proving to be a good thing since they're now able to do decent kicks, get their faces wet (biggest hurdle), learning strokes and all that stuff. Hopefully they'll be able to put it all together to be swimming by the end of summer...we'll see...

Cougar siting!

Here are the best friends finding fun in every errand we run...they hopped on this cougar at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek.

Stuffed Animal Fun

Who knew Z Gallerie could be this entertaining for a 3 year old?

Happy 1st Birthday, Baby!

Baby Justin turned one and we celebrated on a hot day at Hap Magee park. Here he is with Pao Pao & Gung Gung...pure happiness! All pictures are from Uncle Randy's camera.

Gotcha, Uncle Randy! Yes, that would be Mickey Mouse bride ears she is wearing while in a swimsuit shooting a water gun.

Mia loves all her friends, but she smiles just a lil' brighter at the mention of Will.

Mun Mun going to town on a chocolate cupcake...OMG!

Elizabeth enjoying the see saw.

And Ethan taking the activity of "filling your own candy jar" very seriously!

First time, ever, on this ride!

Mia has been to Disneyland four times now and who knows how many times I've been there, but this is both our first time on the canoe ride. Maybe that shows my laziness...you have to really paddle on this ride...

Favorite part of So Cal trip

We drive all that way down to So Cal for our vacation and all Mia really wants is her face painted! I think we'll just go to local amusement parks from now all if that's really all she wants! But, no...her mom loves Disneyland too much! ;p

Gadget Go-Coaster...everyone's favorite!

Kailey can now ride the Gadget Go-Coaster. Do you think she'll turn out to be a coaster junkie like Wai Wai and Mia? You be the judge:



We all know Mia loves it, but this video is especially cute because now she knows to yell at the faster parts of the ride.

So Cal trip...again

Yes, we went to Legoland, Wild Animal Park and Disneyland again. We just love it there and have so much fun! We drove down with Emmons family and I didn't take that many photos since we have so many from our last trips. But here Mia is with her lovely Belle hair. She does look cute with hair, no? The scary thing is that sometimes this hair piece makes her appear to have a mullet...not so cute...but she loved it.
