Happy Birthday Mama!

This morning daddy reminded us that it was mommy's birthday today. He made her breakfast, an egg white omlet, and put a candle in it. Then we waited for her to come home from walking Tachi.

Mommy was really surprised to see her birthday breakfast! We sang her happy birthday and helped her blow out her candle. We also gave her a gift. Mason helped her open it. What was it? A fancy, yoga sweater that didn't quite fit. Mommy's arms are too short.

After swim lessons (for me) and Little Gym (for Mason), we ate leftovers for dinner. Daddy and I stopped at Whole Foods to pick up a cake so we could celebrate mommy's birthday again. We put 7 candles in the cake, turned out the lights and sang Happy Birthday. After helping mommy blow out her candles, we each got a small slice of cake. 

Happy Birthday mommy! We love you!

Sleeping over

Grandma and grandpa have moved to a new house. It's only 2 houses away from Ethan! This weekend we went to visit their new house. Mason and I were so excited about spending the night there. On Saturday, we kept asking when we were leaving. Mommy and daddy kept reminding us that we weren't going until Sunday afternoon.

As usual, we had a blast at grandma and grandpa's place. We got to hang out with Kimora, Kyle and Bubba. We also got a special visit from Auntie Jill, Uncle Keith and Kelcy who were visiting from San Diego. I'm not saying that all our other aunties aren't special; it's just that we rarely see them because they live so far away.

I can't wait to go to grandma and grandpa's house again! I recently asked mommy if we could sleep over at their house. After saying yes, mommy asked me if I meant sleep over with mommy and daddy or without us. I said without and smiled.

A beachy weekend

Mommy had a half marathon in Santa Cruz today. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the beach since she had to pick up her race packet. We played in the ocean a little (the water was cold), in the sand a lot and looked for crabs along the rock.

This morning, she left before any of us were awake. I don't think she knew that we had planned to surprise her at the finish line. Daddy made a sign that said, "Go Mama Go! We love you!" We waited for her just before the finish line. She was really surprised to see us in our stroller, eating apple chips. When I saw her, I stood up to cheer...but my mouth was full of apple chips. So, I waved the sign.

After mommy got her medal, stretched and cooled her legs in the ocean, we hung out at the Boardwalk. I've been there before with Matthew and Kyden, but it was Mason's first time there.

The last time I was there, I only rode the carousel. This time I rode lots of ride. I even rode Splash Mountain (aka log ride)! While daddy and I waited in line for the log ride, mommy took Mason to ride a few rides. He wanted to "drive" a car and then a Pepsi truck. We rode a few more rides together. Then I wanted to ride the ferris wheel that spins you upside down. Since Mason was too little for that ride, mommy took him drive a boat.

After we used up all our ride tickets, we found lunch nearby. I wanted to go back and ride more rides, but it was time to go home.

Mason and I had so much fun! I can't wait to go back to the Boardwalk again. Who wants to come with?

Mommy's are special

Happy Mother's Day!

Mason and I gave mommy our presents early. We each made Mother's Day crafts for mommy at school. Mason gave mommy a poem with his handprints. Mommy thought it looked familiar because I made the same thing when I was in Mason's class. She said it was perfect because now she has one from me and one from Mason. I made mommy a flower pen with my picture at the top. Mommy said she would bring it to work and use it in all her meetings.

Daddy, Mason and I had one more present for mommy - a spa gift certificate. Mason and I don't know what a spa is. Daddy says its someplace mommies go to get away and relax. Why does she need to get away to relax? Can't she just do that at home?

To celebrate mother's day, we had lunch with Po-Po, Caylie, Nathan, Uncle Eddie and Auntie Lia at a Japanese restaurant in Fremont. On the way there, mommy realized that she forgot the flowers we bought for Po-Po. Oh well, guess we can just enjoy them at home.

We had to postpone celebrating with grandma and grandpa because they were moving into their new house. It's 2 houses away from Ethan! We're going to see them on Memorial Day weekend.

Happy Mother's Day to mommy, Po-Po and grandma! We love you to infinity!

Frozen birthday party

Kaylen and Kadence (they're sisters) had a Frozen-themed birthday party at a frozen yogurt (froyo) store in San Jose today. Since we love both of those things, we were super excited about the party.

When we got there the froyo shop had Frozen decorations including a stuffed Olaf! I thought he was really cute.

After stuffing ourselves with froyo we had our faces painted. This was no ordinary face painter. She painted really fancy pictures on all the kids faces and would finish it off with glitter and other sparkly things. Mason got a fish and I got a submarine.

There was also a balloon guy who could make pretty much anything you wanted. Not just animals. I mean anything. He made Mickey Mouse, Lightening McQueen, princess crowns, butterflies, turtles, swords and bows and arrows. At first us kids, really didn't know what to do with the swords or the bows and arrows. But we got the hang of it after a while. Check it out.

We sang Happy Birthday to Kaylen and Kadence. The cake was really pretty and Frozen themed, of course. It was really tasty! I ate everything except for the fondant. Mommy says fondant is a fancy type of frosting. I didn't really care for it.

Happy Birthday Kaylen and Kadence! Thanks for inviting us to your Frozen froyo party!
