Post V-Day Potluck

Mia and I had some friends over tonight. We had 9 adults and 11 kids going crazy in our lil' house. The adults ate, drank and laughed and the kids, well, let's just saying "went crazy" is fairly accurate. Here are the kids begrudgingly agreeing to take a group picture.

And here are two sleepy heads who stayed up until 11:30pm! Mia is always sleeping over at her cousins and pao pao's house and was sad because no one sleeps over at her house...well, needless to say, Anika made Mia's weekend!


I took a bunch of cute pictures and here they all are:

Happy Valentine's Day

We hope you have a great Valentine's Day and hopefully you received our card. If not, let me know cuz if you know about this blog and have any interest reading it, you should be on our holiday mailing list.

The pictures were taken by my brother, Randy. Mia was getting bored, but good thing Auntie FerFer was around to keep Mia interested and entertained. Here are the good photos from the day's shoot. The girl is definitely a poser. I swear, I didn't teach her!!!!

Mia & Mason together again

The last time we saw Mason, he had no real interest in playing with Mia. But now that he's older, they had a blast together! It was great that they enjoyed each other's company so the parents could catch-up and enjoy Julie's home cooked meal.

They liked playing in the cardboard house that Jules recently bought. It was so cute cuz they were pretending to be monsters and making it a "scary" house. But I think the big hit was Mark's iPhone...who knew there was a "farting" application. You spin the wheel and it lands on a different fart sound. The kids loved it. What is it with kids and farting and burping?!?!?

We tried to get a hugging picture, but silly us, we tried to take it with the tv on. Mason had zero interest in the camera and Mia is so used to me putting a camera in her face that she can do a quick smile and turn away to not miss more than half a second of whatever is going on.

Mark and Jules live in this awesome building in the city. It really makes me miss living in the city. Maybe one day I'll move back...like in 14 years when Mia is off to college!

Pre-Valentine's Celebration

Today was a big day at school...Valentine's Day parties! We got so excited about our V-day cards, Mia picked princess cards and I picked up some cute lollipops at William-Sonoma that looked liked cherries so it was a double lollipop. Well, our bubble burst cuz they said NO candy with the Valentine's (mommy doesn't read so well!), so they sent all the cute lollipops home. Oh well, more candy for the crazy kids, just what we need.

The kids were in a posing mood for the camera for once. Well, they probably thinking, if we just pose real quick, she'll leave us alone to enjoy our lollipops...
