Wannabe Redhead

Happy Monday, all!  We had a very fun (and busy) weekend again!  On Saturday we got to go to a first birthday party for a very cute little Chandler boy.  :)
Our little wannabe redhead all set for Chandler's birthday!  (She insisted it was her's...again.)

 While Chandler threw his cake everywhere (as every first birthday kid should), Bug was in the background, freaking out over Chandler "wasting" his cake.

Chandler with his mommy and daddy.

After Chandler's birthday, we celebrated my Uncle's birthday at my parents' house.  (No pictures.  Mommy FAIL.).

Unlike everyone else in the world, we took it easy on St. Patrick's Day.  We went to mass and Bug was AWESOME.  She was semi-silent the entire mass, even though she was super tired and needed a nap.  Afterwards, we hung out at home, played games and ate lunch.  Bug even let Mommy and Daddy watch a movie that they liked! 



During all of this down time at home, Bug used the above pictured teacup and was walking around the house pretending to drink.  She couldn't see.  She hit the door.  Fell to the floor.  Bit her lip.  Blood.  It was not awesome.  At all.  After crying it out, talking her into calming down, we decided it would be a good time for a walk.  So, we packed Buggy up and headed to the trails.

 We live in an awesome community with lots of trails.  We decided to take an easy trail because we had Bug with us.

Unfortunately, she fell asleep on the 5 minute car ride.  So we transferred her to her jogging stroller and she didn't even wake up.  Amazing.  So, Mommy and Daddy had some time together on this trail.  Unfortunately, Bug missed it all.


The trail we went on is a horse trail.  Seriously.  People around here have horses and you just walk 'em through the streets.




This is on the horse trail- a back door to someone's backyard.  You'd think it was the entrance to the secret garden or something.


After the trail, we headed back to the car, when this diva finally woke up.

Now that she was re-energized, we decided to take her to the downtown area near us to run out all of her energy. :) Oh, here's a close-up of her fat lip- completely blistered.  So sad.

There's that other bruise from last week on her chin.  Uuugh!  She is so unstable.

We stopped for an apple sauce break (or two).








Crazy hair to most people.  Tame for us.





Bug found a new friend.  She followed her around for a little bit.


When this little girl left, Bug yelled out, "Oh, fren!"  So sad.  :(



Look at that tummy!  It's all that apple sauce! :P



While Mommy made a quick run into the market, this girl was taking some driving lessons from Daddy and dancing in the car.  

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

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...
