Friday already?

I guess it's me. It seems like this week just flew by. I'm trying to catch up with stuff around the house, finance, blogging and etc.. You get the picture.
OK, let's see what was going this week.

Josh - He left for Chicago on Monday. Steve and Sam got to drop him off at the gate while Max and I were waiting outside the security checkpoint. Sam was crying and calling Josh while he was walking into the plane. Sad!
While he's in Chicago, I'm looking into the summer camp for the 2 weeks that he'll be here. Don't want to bore him to death hanging out with Max and I with our every day errands. Probably I'll get him to the Y.M.C.A. close by Sam's pre-school. It has great programs there. Hopefully it will has a space open and it will be easy drop off and pick up. Two in one!

Sam - He got a new favorite character, Lighting McQueen from Cars! It started from the movie that we rented from father's day. Now everything is "McKeen". About the PT, he is doing great. No more accidents. No more diapers! Well only at nights. He finally does the number 2 in the potty. The only problem is he won't goes anywhere else but home and school. Humm?

Max - He's teething again. =( My poor baby!! He doesn't want to eat or drink anythings even though I gave him Tylenol or teething tablets. I hope this will pass soon.
Now he can walk while holding my hands. He can push the ride on bike with his legs and controls where he wants to go. He transits to one nap very well.

Sushi - She got much better and be able to steal our foods again.;p

Steve and I - We are trying to get healthier. We decided not to eat meat for awhile and do more exercises. I started running/jogging/walking in the morning around Sam's pre-school since Tuesday. So far so good. I'm getting better everyday. The first day was hard. I'm trying to do 20 minutes a day.

Our Father's Day weekend, The final!

On Sunday we didn't go anywhere. I made my Thai breakfast and gave Steve a father's day card and Barnes & Noble gift card(I know how much you like reading books). The boys gave Steve a card and 2 beach chairs(he mentioned that he wanted a chair that he can sit in the backyard and no too big so I think the beach chair would be perfect, right?) We had a pizza party instead of my nice dinner's plan. The boys really enjoyed it. I let them eat off the sofa and the floor while they were watching "Cars"(now it's Sam's favorite movie).
Then we had cakes for desert!
Josh was posting for the camera.Max was eating cake too. He was about to take more bites.=)
I think Steve really enjoyed his day. Happy Father's day!!

Our Father's Day weekend part 2

After the museum we drove to Sonoma and went to the place called "Train town Railroad". We been here before many times. It has a train going around and children rides. Max was very excited! You can tell by the picture.

Picture with the train. This is the only picture of all of us. The sun was too bright. That's why Josh was covering his eyes. Max on the train.
Josh on Merry-go-around
We had so much fun. The boys slept very well that night. =)

Our Father's Day weekend part 1

We had a wonderful father's day weekend. It started off on Saturday. We decided to drive up north because it was kind of foggy and cool in the city. We wanted to see some sun!

We ended up drive to Napa because we haven't been there before. We drove to downtown and found a Napa fire museum. It was a very small museum but the boys loved it especially Sam. They got to ring the bell(many many times).
Sam enjoyed taking pictures with the firetruck!
It was so hard to get everyone looking at the camera. That was the best one I had

Max was tired. He didn't really nap well in the car and he also just started taking one nap. Still adjusting...

My sleepy boy :P

Happy Father's Day!!!

I'll update our weekend tomorrow. Hope all the dads have a happy father's day. =)

Father's day at LDAC

It was Father's Day celebration at Sam's pre-school yesterday. The children helped make pretzels and lemonade for the dads.

It was nice and relax. Steve was blowing bubbles for Sam and Max.



We all had a nice day yesterday. Josh was busy playing baseball with the children there.

About Josh's summer plan, every year he goes visit his mom and grandma in Chicago for 6 weeks during summer. He goes there 4 week, comes back for 2 weeks and goes there again for 2 weeks. Then home about a week or two before school starts again. He'll be leaving for Chicago next Monday. We'll miss you, Josh!! =(

Last day of school and my sick cat! =(

Sushi is a 6 years old black Cornish Rex.
At the restaurant, please excuse my tired no make up face!




Yesterday was last day school for Josh. He didn't really has to go to school because there is nothing going on but he wanted to go to help his teacher clean up the room and get it ready for the next school year. While he was at the school, I was trying to get an appointment for my cat, Sushi. She has been sick for a about a week. Lost appetite, throwing up then and there and lost her energy. It seemed to get worse yesterday. There was nothing open so I had to walk in as emergency.

As soon as Max woke up from his nap, I went to pick up Josh and took sushi to see the vet. After we were waiting there for more an hour, she finally saw the vet and he couldn't find anything really wrong with her. He gave her an anti-vomiting shot, meds and special food to take home with us. Hope to see her better soon.

We also went out for dinner last night as a graduation's celebration for Josh.

Josh's 5th grade graduation

This picture is from his pre-school graduation. I can't believe it how much he grows since then.

Now With his classmates
Giving the speech
Hanging out
After the ceremony


Congratulation Josh, I'm so proud of you. I can't believe it. He already finished his elementary school and going to Middle school next. Time sure flies.

I still remember dropped Josh off first day of school and then helped him with his first homework, color the balloons after one balloon he told me that his hand was too tired to color and the teacher said the parent could help with the homework. Smart kid!

Over the weekend we went on the shopping spree. Josh need new clothes and shoes for graduation and Steve need more clothes and shoes for work. I also got a new Puma and a skirt from H&M for myself. Sure it was hard shopping with 3 kids. I think it was the first time we ever done this. Max was a good boy the whole time. Josh got bore after first 20-30 minutes and Sam was a nightmare. I have a really hard time with him lately. I don't know it's terrible two or what. By the way while I'm blogging, he is calling me. He's been calling, talking and yelling since I put him to bed at 7.30 pm. It's about 10pm and he isn't sleeping!!! He used to be so easy with sleeping and napping. What's happen???

So sad!

First attempt of taking picture of Sam and Max together for my dad.
Before leaving for the airport


Sam and Ama are at the SFO.


I dropped my mom at the airport today. I can't believe it's been a month since she got here. Time flew by! I'm so sad and down. I miss her already. I always have been very close to her. Even though she annoys me sometime. She is flying to Japan and will stay there for 3-4 days before she goes back to Thailand.

I took Sam to the airport with me. Steve took Josh to school and got Max down for a morning nap. Sam was so sad that Ama was leaving. I don't know when we will see her again.

All last week I've been busy taken my mom around. My mom pretty much got everything she needs at Costco. Mostly they are gifts for relatives in Thailand.
