Memorial Day "Summary"

We had a crazy, busy, and fun Memorial Day weekend!

On Friday Da-Da had the day off, so  he got some quality time with Bug before day care.  Before he could turn on the light in Bug's room, she was already talking up a storm and this is how he walked in on her.  (Yeah...standing is fun.)
That day, the hubs cleaned the house! Mama came home to a clean bathroom and all the laundry done!  Check out the best hubs...EV-ER in action.  Am I lucky or what?!?!?!
That night, Bug and I had an early date with Da-Da at the Olive Garden.  Afterwards, we went and hung out at Starbucks and ran some errands together.  Oh, a life with a baby.  How the phrase "date night" has taken on a whole new meaning. :)
In case you were unable to read the previous post, here is a snapshot summary of the wedding we went to...
 A HUGE thank you to Ninang and Ninong for babysitting Bug ALL DAY while we got ready for the wedding and went off to Temecula for some fun!  This weekend, I realized how attached Bug is to both of them and it just melts my heart and I'm so grateful for their patience with Bug, as well as the amount of love they give her.

Bug must really think we're nomads.  Every time she wakes up from a nap, she's somewhere new. This time, we were at Nolan's first birthday party in the park! When we got there, THIS is how we found Bug in the car seat...
 He was so tiiiired!
 Before we left, we had a little Bug and Nolan time.  Bug's pretty forward and aggressive. She just took his hand.  After some hesitation, Nolan finally relaxed and then took her's.  SO CUTE.
Making sure with Da-Da that this was okay.
 Then we did some swinging...
 Boy she looks chubby!
 Bug's first pool trip didn't go quite like we had hoped, but it went.  :)  We got her this ladybug floaty and it's eyes pop out and Bug was NOT a big fan.  She was so scared of it. 
 Checkin' it out...
 Uuumm...nope.
 Nope.
 Safe in Da-Da's arms.
 Now this was okay...getting all her toys in the pool. Then she realized she saw the ladybug floaty on the side of the pool and freaked out...again.
 With the one guy who didn't go into the pool.
 Always time to snack on some organic puffs.
 Look at those abs!  She must take after her Mama. :)
So tired.
 Bug saw some kids.  She really wants to be a big kid already.
 Remember the Maya sling?  We bought it when Bug was three months old. She used it twice and hated it.  Now she's good with it.  Yahoo!  $70 NOT wasted.  I'm loving how fun this Bug is.
I'm pretty sure this look sums up her pool experience. (Hat hair, much?)  I'm pretty sure this hair is going to present A TON of problems later in life...
 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...
