A cone, two kids, and The Bowl

A few weeks ago, Wyatt and I went to dinner and he surprised me with tickets to the Carrie Underwood concert at the Hollywood Bowl.  (What a sweet guy!)  So, two weeks ago, that's exactly where we went.

(Yes, we sat that far away, which really didn't matter because the sound was AMAZING!)



Last weekend, we went to a 2nd birthday party for ...(get ready)...my parents' neighbor's son's daughter, Bella.  (Did you catch that?)  :)  She is just about the cutest thing!



We even got to see our ringbearer, Gavin, at Bella's party!

He was pretty excited to see us?  (Or not.)


After a recent trip to the veternarian, McKayla has officially been diagnosed with allergies.  Yup...to her environment.  She has been ripping out her fur from her front left paw and has been chewing on the exposed skin.  The veternarian recommended she wear a "cat cone" (basically a flimsy version of a dog cone).  After quite a bit of struggle, Wyatt and I got in on her...

She hates us.

She stares out the window all day when she has it on.  She refuses to even look at us...

However, everytime we come home, we find that she has miraculously taken it off.  Wyatt & Kat= BIG FAIL.

 The part that irks me the most is that she struts in front of us, almost as if she's saying, "Better luck next time".  So, every single day we repeat this vicious cycle.  I hate that.

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
