Celebrating beautiful weather

It was beautiful weather this weekend! We went to Cal Day on Saturday. ..The first time that Jay and I have ever been! It was a lot of fun...Justin had a great time talking to the GSIs about dinosaurs and such. Justin also had his first soccer class of the season which he liked. I liked it because it tired him out!

We ended the weekend at Armidillo Willy's so we could feed our little carnivores!

February Round-Up

This month we celebrated Chinese New Year and I registered Justin for kindergarten in the fall (!) Justin's teacher gave him a copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which he's been reading during nap time...it's been crazy trying to keep up with his reading and figuring out what books are appropriate for him. I admit unabashedly that I'm a proud mama on Justin's reading skills. Now if we could just get him to stop talking out of turn at school...

Brandon is at the age where he just wants to do whatever Justin is doing. Luckily Justin doesn't mind so much right now and will oblige Brandon for the most part ;) Brandon's vocabulary is slowly building, but he still calls everything in one category by one word (i.e. "waffle" for any breakfast item; "apple" for any food; "agua" for anything to drink; "spoon" for any utensil)...it makes trying to figure out what he's asking for quite the challenge!

Here are some pics from this month!

Brandon wearing big boy clothes...Mommy finally put some jeans on the kid.

Brandon is wearing the same Chinese vest that Naih-naih bought for Justin when he was about the same age. It was a tight fit, so this is the only year he can wear it!

Great grandchildren with Tai-po

What a two-and-a-half hour nap looks like...jealous!

These boys and their boxes...

With the fluffy bean bag chairs I got on clearance...I had to get two of course!

A little fun at the park on President's Day

Holiday Round-Up

Eep! I can't believe I never updated this blog with holiday photos! Oops! I guess it's a testament to how fast the holidays flew by. The holidays are my favorite time of year, so it's probably good that I was enjoying it rather than blogging about it ;) Anyways, here are a few choice pics:

Christmas morning. Brandon has a thing for hats, especially ones that are too small for him. I don't know why.

Somehow Justin ended up with tons of Legos this season. He's totally into it. Uncle Kevin was nice enough to sit with him and teach him how to put them together.

The Christmas bounty. No, these were not all for Justin!

Enjoying Christmas dinner

Waiting for someone to give him a cookie

Uncle Kevin's birthday. Brandon says "Happy" and then blows.

Yummy ice cream cake

Not sure Brandon liked Uncle Kevin's gifts

This captures my holiday season. Kids running. Me tired.

Lots of holiday birthdays!
