1st day of school

Bryce started kindergarten on August 17th. Things were so different with the 2nd child. Tyler was very clingy. No tears the first day, but very clingy. Bryce was quick to shout out "BYE MOM!" By the 2nd day of school he was already saying bye to me at the front gate. Tyler needed me to walk him to class and still does in 2nd grade ;) Bryce is lucky, because he has the same teacher that Tyler had in kinder.

Tyler's 2nd grade year started with the office tracking me down when I was picking up Bryce. Ty had a 99 degree fever, so I brought him home. Good thing!! It shot up to 102 within 2 hours. Poor guy. The fever had gone down by the next morning, but we kept him out of school for another day. He did say to me after he returned to school "Mom I am so lucky I get such nice teachers. I really like 2nd grade!" Hope that lasts!

SJ friends that we love and miss!

Tyler got to spend time with his buddy Dayna this summer too!!  

Brady in town!!! YIPPEE!

                                                              Tyler received a surprise when I picked him up from Jan Ken Po Gakko.....  BRADY!!!  Amazing how these two kids can just pick up from where they left off.  Tyler has not seen Brady for 7 months (for kids that is a long time).  Tyler and Brady just clicked again....like they never separated.  We love the Muramoto Family.  When Brycee saw one of his favorite uncles....."Uncle Grapes".....he jumped into his arms!!!  

Tyler learns how to ride a bike

Back in July it FINALLY happened.  Tyler was willing to try to ride his bike on 2 wheels and HE DID IT!!!!!

  

Brycee - Obon

Brycee got to dance on Obon night.  He had a lot of fun too :)  Thank goodness we have such amazing friends, because my boys would have never experienced this!  Thank you Auntie Teri and Auntie Stace!!  I sooo wish I could have gotten Blake on video too!!

more obon practice

Tyler - Obon practice

Tyler was very lucky this year.  Our good friend, Auntie Teri, took him to obon practice.  He had so much fun.

Ty and Bryce's 3 sisters and little brother : )

One of mommy's closest friends lives in Elk Grove.....  She is the world's "SUPER MOM".  Tyler and Bryce call her "super Auntie Ellen"!!  Mommy calls her "Mommy's therapist".  Daddy well he is just grateful Auntie Ellen listens to mommy so he doesn't have to.  

Emily or Emzo as we like to call her had anemia and was hospitalized.  She scared us.... and Ty missed her at Jan Ken Po Gakko....   We are soooo happy she is doing better and everything is almost back to normal!!  YIPPEEE!!!

We love you Uncle Gus, Auntie Ellen, Lindsey, Emzo, Molly girl and Mitchie!!!  Thank you for all you do for us.

Jan Ken Po Gakko 2009

Another year of Jan Ken Po Gakko.....another year of amazing friendships..... Even Brycee found some new friends :)

What do we do on the way to obon practice????

As Teri and I were driving to obon practice, I looked in the rearview mirror and this is what I saw.....

Tyler - CYBL

Tyler decided to play another season in the city basketball league, CYBL 1st/2nd grade.  We were surprised, because we didn't know anybody and we didn't know the coach.  So for Tyler, the apprehensive, shy kid, to say "YES I still want to play eventhough I don't know anyone", we were shocked.

He had a lot of fun and his coach selected him for the All Star game.  He wore his medal all day and was so proud.  

Brycee is done with preschool

    I have been really bad about posting pictures on our blog.  We have some grandparents and a sister in law that are very disappointed in me....  So I will be updating this blog daily to keep our family up to date with all that has been going on this summer...

In May Brycee turned 5 and he also had his preschool graduation....  Our boys are so lucky to have both sets of grandparents.  We love them so much!!
