Friends

Let me tell you.....these ladies have brought so much THERAPY to my life! Their friendship is truly a gift to me!! And to Blake, because he doesn't have to hear as much "monku" from me.

Teri won free facials and makeovers for us all. It was so relaxing and fun! I only included the before picture....I didn't like the after picture! TOO much lipstick!!

What was that??? Who is the guy drinking coffee?? Isn't this supposed to be a girl only outing??? YEAH we were wondering the same thing : ) What can I say....Glen is hopelessly in love with his wife Renee. Has to be with her everywhere she goes. hahaha!

Thanks girls for your friendship and love! I am one lucky girl!!!

Oh yeah thank you to the grandparents....I would not have been able to have this outing with the kids in tow ;)

Tyler and Dayna

We posted some pics of Tyler's visit to see his buddy Dayna and her family.  The two were born three weeks apart.  Their mommies shared lots of advice while pregnant and after the birth of the 2 first borns....  

Tyler continues to speak fondly of Dayna to his friends.  So amazing that he still remembers her, since we do not see them often.  

Mommy's boys

This morning mommy had to go to work for an hour. When she returned.....the boys were ready to go to the Fish Hatchery. Apparently they wanted to dress like daddy. Shirt, jeans, shoes and hat!

Tyler and Bryce sported their birthday shoes from "cool" Auntie Kristeen!

Reunited Buddies!

Tyler received a special treat while visiting Grandma and Grandpa in San Jose. When daddy got home, he took Tyler to Dayna, Kayla and Brent's house for dinner and a playdate! Sooooo lucky! I heard the kids terrorized poor Kayla :( Sorry sweetie that Bryce wasn't there to stick up for you.

Thank you Uncle Todd and Auntie Michelle!

Nana this is for you.....

Brycee got to go with mommy to a Kings game. Compliments of NANA. He was so excited he was walking around with his Kings' jersey on.....chanting...."I'm going to a King's game...kacheeka..oh yeah...I won" Sorry for the video...I tilted the camera.

At the game, Brycee would have made Nana proud. He was yelling "defense" and pumping his fist in the air when they scored. The Kings went on to win the game against the Warriors 115-98. I had to look up the score on the internet....NO way can Bryce sit through an entire game. Tyler on the other hand has been going to games since we was 3 and never had a problem sitting through an entire game. Opposites!

these two must be cousins : )

Our Cool Boy Cousins!!!

Today we had a visit from our cousins in San Jose. It is Daddy's cousin's kids : ) Darlene and Blake used to be buddies when they were young....played with rollie pollies....took baths together : ) hahaha.

We had so much fun today....we went to Tyler's soccer game, the train museum and then to our house for lots of craziness!!!

After they left, an exhausted Tyler asked "Mommy how come we don't get to see them more often if they are our cousins?"......sigh

Thank you COUSINS for all the goodies and making today a special day!

Jelly Belly Factory & Fairy Tale Town

Since Tyler was off track and mommy was home.  We went to the Jelly Belly Factory and Fairy Tale Town.  We had sooo much fun!  

The boys love the Crooked Mile at Fairy Tale Town....they ran around the twisty maze about 30+times.

Daddy's basketball - video by Brycee

The boys love to go and watch daddy play basketball. Bryce even took a little video tonight. He said he wanted to put it on his BLOG so I had to let him.

BEWARE you may get a little dizzy....and confused :)

I think this was the first game they won all season.

another Bachan masterpiece

Obachan made another beautiful quilt and pillowcase for Tyler. NASCAR - #24 Jeff Gordon!! As you can see they both serve their purpose....nice and comfy for a good nights sleep.

We are grateful everyday that our boys have two great grandmas and 1 great grandpa. Brings tears to my eyes everytime I think about how lucky we are. The boys are even more lucky, because bachan and jichan live with Nana and Papi! This has allowed the boys to get to know them even better!

WE LOVE YOU BACHAN AND JICHAN!!!! Thank you for all that you do for us!!

We are very proud of Nana and Papi too: ) Guess they are teaching us how we need to treat our parents and families. They took care of Papi's parents until they passed away. And now they have Nana's parents living with them. Bachan did the same with her mother too! FAMILY is the most important thing there is! Everyone makes a sacrifice but it is worth it for family.

Papi and the boys

This year the boys had a couple of opportunities to dress up. Tyler was Pikachu and Bryce BUZZ LIGHTYEAR ....AGAIN for a party they got to go too. For Halloween night they decided to change it up a little and chose repeat costumes! Tyler was Jeff Gordon and Bryce a Power Ranger. Works for us. The only costume we needed to buy this year was Pikachu!

Papi spent the weekend with us. It was a nice visit. Nana was in Vegas for a bowling tournament.

Halloween Festivities

The boys Halloween festivities included a fun filled evening at the Kumas' home. They always know how to throw a fabulous party and of course have the scariest Halloween decor around!! Checkout the fake Jason that moved! YIKES! Thank you Kumas!!!
