One year of Lo.

Last weekend we celebrated all things Lo Bear with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed first birthday party!  I don't know if you know this, but all the kids in my family are beautiful.  They also have spitfire personalities, which makes taking pictures all the more fun!  We love you, Lo.  Thank you for making this last year all the more brighter.  :)

Cousins watching each other.  Is anyone else excited?  Not that I'm a negligent parent or anything, but haven't we all been waiting for this moment forever?  Older cousins taking care of the younger ones.  I refuse to procreate otherwise.  Hahaha.

Then the cousin/babysitter fell asleep before the baby.  Not a good sign.  We're still working on how babysitting goes.




An overly excited birthday girl?

There's something about the first grandchild.

My kid would purposely look at my camera like this.


The people who spoil the grandchildren. :)  I can't wait to be a grandparent.  Ha.


The cake is not good.  At all.  :P

This moment is almost two years in the making.  Uncle Kyle may never get this again.

Same for Uncle Jarpy.  Soak it in, you two.

Like I said...the cake was no good. :)

Party planner, graphic designer, photographer extraordinaire!

Cute, right?

The cuteness never ends!

Swing pusher, Kim. :)









When you're cool you stand on rocks and look out into the distance.



Because she is the most athletic. :)

Never have I seen such a wonderful moment.  I think Bug may have given Daddy the impression that she is athletic in some way.  :)

"Running for bubbles."

Curls and tattoos.


Gah!  She is so cute! Now this girl is athletic.  When she's up and running (without falling), she's going to give Bug a run for her money!

Who is this cute kid that I am not related to!??!  Gorgeous, right?  Tyler- heart breaker in the making


The difference between 2 and 5 years old.


Always following her Ate Bug.  <3 br="">

Story telling time.  Bug reciting the entire Three Little Pigs story to the entire party.

Cleanup the next day...

Why wouldn't you love being trapped in a bucket with bubbles blowing in your face?



Too tired to open gifts the next day.

What a wonderful blessing to be able to be Lo's aunt, but also her Godmother.  I feel so lucky to have so many Godchildren and I really do love them all like my own.  So...does that get me out of having more children?  I do have 5 Godchildren.  That's a lot!  :P

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...
