The Perfect Sunday

Today was one of the best kind of days. We went to brunch with some of our best friends (Kwon, Murio and most of the McD Families) and then we went to enjoy some Sunday relaxation at the Kwon's home. The men folk watched every football game they could find and we girls chit chatted, drank an assortment of fine libations, took a stroll through Target (I love the San Ramon store) and then ate a delicious dinner homemade by V! Phew, we practically had to roll out of their home and into our car. It was a great day. All the kids (big and small) had a great time!

Did I say that V made dinner! Oops, I meant chef Makena and Tyler made our yummy din-din!

Soccer Saturdays

This Saturday marked the first of many Saturday soccer games for Aidan. He had a fun day playing on his new team although he's a little confused why he's playing his own teammates. This year the Fremont soccer program is running an Academy instead of teams. A little strange, but still fun for Aidan.

Tyler Does Preschool

Here is just one of the videos which is proof positive my baby is growing up! I'm sad.

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of 2nd grade for Aidan, he's a pro now. He likes his new teacher and is sooo excited that his best friend Justin is in his class too! I'm hoping they will stay out of trouble or this will be the one and only year they'll be together. I'm sure they will, they are good boys.


Ty-Ty also started preschool yesterday. He is so different from how Aidan was when he started preschool. Tyler was ready for school! He did not shed a tear, he did not hesitate one bit, he is also a pro. I however, was a wreck as I watched the videos that Han so thoughtfully took for me. I will spare you all the many videos and just post the cutest one...I know they grow up, but it's really true that they grow up TOO fast.

Who Is That Caped Crusader?

The life of a 4 year old is filled with many detours. Tyler wanted to ride his bike but was quickly sidetracked with the site of a Power Ranger cape he spied in the garage. He put it on and off he went!

Night time fun

We were so close to the Shops of Wailea so one night we took a stroll over to get some yummy Lappert's Ice Cream. On the way, silliness ensued...Aidan was running but his shorts were a tad too big and WHOOPS down they fell! We all got a good laugh, and Aidan was a great sport about it. I just love the happiness on the faces of my handsome boys. Such fun...

Tyler was DONE with picture taking!

Mama's Fish House

One of my most favorite places in the world is Mama's Fish House in Paia, HI. It's gotten extremely popular since our very first visit 8 or 9 years ago. I remember when it was still the original restaurant next to an old house on the beach with kite surfers in the ocean. Now the restaurant has expanded and the house next door has been renovated into the cutest inn ever and the kite surfers are still there, but the restaurant itself seems to be getting more commercial you know?

Aidan and Lola hamming it up

Nevertheless, the food is still amazing and the beach is heavenly.

Tyler had a great time in the ocean, at one point he went pretty far out, not past the rock reef but if he could he just might. Aidan was a little more skeptical and didn't want to get in too deep.


It was all fun until Ty-Ty cut himself on the rocks and blood started gushing from his heel. Can we say "DRAMA"?!?! He cried and cried, and I thought for sure the management was going to tell us to go away!

The injured foot...

Luckily a band aid cured the injury and we went and had some shaved ice. Problem Solved!
