Too Close!

This weekend was the first weekend our little family of three had no real plans.  It was the first time in so long that I can remember having little to nothing to do, but "hang out".  I forget what it's like to not always be rushing to be somewhere.

Someone's chubby thighs were finally able to make it over the pampers box!  :)  It was getting down that was tough.  So she sat up on that box for about 40 minutes until she just rolled off of it.

We spent some quality time with Ninong, Ninang, and baby Lo.

Tiny feet.

Tiny arms and hands.

Tiny little face.


Bug notices all dogs and she (lovingly) growls at them from afar, then proceeds to play.

Walking it out.  Dad spent quite some time following this little Bug around.  (Yes, that is a Starbucks employee you see.)



Lo was the only one who wanted to take a pick with me!

A sushi meal devoured by 4 parents.  BOTH Lo and Bug stayed asleep during the entire meal.  Then I posted it on Facebook and both kids woke up.  Hmm...why does that always happen?
 I now know that Bug can eat a whole lot of terriyaki chicken and rice.  A LOT.

Getting into things...again.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!

After church on Sunday we went to Starbucks (again), for a bagel before we headed out to Long Beach for the day.  We plan our days around Bug being in a good mood so most days we make sure to leave places after her snack time and during her nap time.  That way she's in a good mood the majority of the time we're anywhere.


Someone made some friends and we found out that Bug loves jazz music.  She just can't stop bouncing when she hears it!

 Bug's first trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach!

First, a BBQ lunch!  (First time using crayons!)  They also played blues and jazz at this BBQ restaurant and Bug spent the ENTIRE meal out of her seat, standing in the booth, dancing.  Seriously.  These pictures of her in a high chair lasted about 10 minutes.  She stood and danced the entire time she ate BBQ chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, ribs, apple sauce, and homemade BBQ chips (one chip lasting the entire meal).  Oh, Bug now knows how to lick her fingers.  I caught her staring at the BBQ sauce and spices on her fingers and she just went for it.  :)






At the aquarium, touching jellyfish with Daddy.




Waiting for the sea lions to swim by.



In awe of the sea lions, but kind of scared, not realizing that there was a huge glass wall between them.

Too close!  She got kind of frightened because of how close they were.



Touching tiny sharks!

Bug's favorite part!




Sea otters.  so cute!  Bug was also a wee bit scared of them after we got so close, but didn't want to leave.  She just stood there, staring at them, with a death grip on my arm.  :/

What a long day!  We were pooped!

Sometimes you take a look around your house and try to recall what happened?  A tornado?  Nope.  A storm?  Nope.  Just Bug.



I love family time, whether it's with my extended family, or just the three of us.

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...
