A Day at the Dentist

Last year when Tyler was 3, we tried to go to the dentist and he was having NONE OF IT! Well, one year later and what a change! The boy who was so afraid to even SIT in the chair was all over his first (well - second) dental experience today! He was helping the hygienist with the water and sucker thingy while his brother was getting his teeth cleaned. When it was his turn he was Mr. Brave! He sat with his mouth open wide and didn't even flinch when she put the gritty fluoride in! Thankfully, he had very clean teeth to start with. I think his favorite part was the new toothbrush and the visit to the treasure chest!

He wasn't really scared or mad, this is just Tyler being Tyler.
I ask him to smile, he does the opposite.

Summer Sunday

Yesterday was a typical Sunday. We ran errands, took a nap (well the boys did, I did not) and we played outside. Tyler is fascinated with his Plasma Car which is quite old. I think it was a gift for Aidan a few years back and has been being housed at Grandma's house. When they go there they like to ride it. Tyler loved it soooo much he had to bring it home. He was "driving" up and down the street yesterday. Aidan has also been getting into his ramp a lot lately, which coincidentally is quite old as well (a gift from Santa). He's been practicing his bike jumping, future X-Gamer? We finished off the night with a Korean BBQ dinner outside in the backyard - LOVE! I typically don't like Sundays as it signals the beginning of another work week, but in the summer I absolutely LOVE them.

Up and over!

I didn't know this was made for 2! Too cute!

More Lazy Days of Summer

Despite Aidan being in Tennis Camp, our life has been pretty quiet. Yesterday, we headed over to Makena's pool to do some late afternoon swimming and dinner. It's crazy how it can be 70 degrees and breezy here at home and be HOT in the 80's in San Ramon! The boys had a blast using Uncle Gene as their personal throwing device. I don't know who was was going to be more tired. We ate In-n-Out burgers poolside and inhaled some delicious mini bundt cakes - yum! I love this type of summer day, no plans, no timeline, just plain, old fashioned fun!

Hi Makena!

Hey Ty-Ty!

One of many launches...

Kaboom!

A Week of Tennis

This week Aidan was enrolled in Tennis Camp. He really loves this sport! He had a lot of fun learning the rules and proper tennis techniques. He wants to go back next week, so I guess it was a hit or a lob - hahaha!

The Giants County Fair

We took a trip to AT&T Park to spend some time at the Giants County Fair.

I didn't know they had their own fair, but whatev. It was a small carnival set up outside of McCovey Cove with the usual Carney games, rickety looking rides and people galore. Surprisingly the boys were a little afraid of the rides (frankly I was too) so they played it safe and only rode the carousel.


We didn't even take the time to eat anything! Perhaps because earlier we had a yummy lunch at The Counter in Palo Alto and made a pit stop at Satura Cakes where I inhaled some of the best red velvet cake, (I try it anywhere they serve it, I'm an expert you know) on the way into the city. If you haven't tried their goodies, go now, you won't be sorry!

Such a pretty day in the city, there were tons of people along the water.

Slip Slidin' Away

It has definitely felt like summer around these here parts, temps reaching 100 degrees...to beat the heat we decided to bust out the ol' Slip and Slide. This was a real treat for the boys! They had so much fun getting their technique down on the best way to get maximum slidage. Han thought it might be a good idea to make it even more slippery by adding dish soap, however he didn't think that it might sting the boys' eyes...hence the goggles. Yippee!

I guess all that slippin' and slidin' makes a boy thirsty

Even Han had to get in on the action, he schooled the boys on how it's done but almost knocked me over in the process!

Happy 28th Birthday!

I celebrated my 28th birthday on Monday, (I know, I know, you didn't know I was only 28...I get that all the time.) Han brought home a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a box of my favorite Sprinkles Cupcakes - (Red Velvet of course) to share with a few friends.

I have no idea why this is the only picture of me and friends from this night. I swear there were others here besides Brett! Thanks for posing with me though!

We played in the backyard and enjoyed the evening, before getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes. I was gifted some really nice prezzies: Grace perfume, lotions and a beach bag, from my mom and aunt. Some books from the McD's my favorite being this one! And my boys gave me this super cool dictionary!

I love love love them!
