Not. A. Good. Sign

What did I get/buy for our 3 year anniversary? A new Elmo coloring book and crayons...so the hubs and I could take Bug with us on our anniversary dinner. We were hoping we would be able to eat a [full] meal without someone jumping out of her high chair or screaming to get out so she can socialize with everyone in the restaurant.

That's right.  We're parents.

How did our dinner go?  Not quite as expected...which is why I have no pictures from dinner to show you.  Three quarters of the way through the meal she decided she wanted out.  The coloring book didn't last as long as I had expected because dinner was postponed a little while because Daddy had to work later than expected.  So by the time we got to dinner, it was already her bath time.  :/  (Hey, we're making progress!  She made it more than halfway through the meal!)  After taking her out of her high chair, we trapped her in our booth, in an attempt to finish the rest of our meal.  FAIL. She turned right around to the family behind us with three kids and began chatting up a storm (especially to their 6-ish year old boy, Mason).  :)  Tangent:  Bug knows how to play coy...with boys.  Not.  A.  Good.  Sign.  

After the family left (they got to the restaurant way after us and left before we did), we packed up the rest of the meal and attempted to head home...BUT...we stopped for some old school fro yo (frozen yogurt) from Penguin's!  :)  If you've never been, you have to go.  (I'm not sure what the hype is about Pinkberry and all that, because Penguins's is where it's at.)


While at Penguin's, we encountered a mob (and by mob I mean 15+) teenagers. Ah!  Do you know what 15 teenagers sounds like?  "Like, as if, whateva, hells yeah", etc. etc.  I know.  I was and (and sometimes still am) one of them.  Unfortunately, with age (all 28 years of me) has come to dread being in a room with too many of them.  It makes me anxious.  Seriously.  I fear the day Bug becomes one.  While Mommy was thinking, "GET ME OUTTA HERE", Bug was thinking, "Hey, friends!"  So, she stopped to socialize.  Seriously.  This girl has no fear of older kids.  I think she thought she was a part of their social group. The girls were so cute and they certainly entertained her.  It bought Mommy some time to finish her ice cream! (Because that's what matters.  Ha!)


Do you see that look the girl on the right is giving me?  THAT is a look of a teenager.  Looking forward to many of these looks from Bug one day.  Wait.  Doesn't she already do that?


On another note, Bug was pretty confused about how to eat ice cream from a cone.  Check out Bug and Daddy sharing ice cream. :)




It's this girl's lucky night!  ICE CREAM!





At the end of the night, we stopped at the market to do some shopping. :)
What a great anniversary dinner with my two loves.  It's amazing how things change each year.  It was a great night with the man I love and the cute little product of our marriage.

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...
