Lucky 7

We celebrated Aidan's 7th birthday with a small party here at home. He invited friends from school and they partied the afternoon away! The theme was GI Joe, and Sergeant Han was in full combat gear. We feel so blessed to have Aidan as our son. He is growing up to be a such a kind, caring, and intelligent young boy. Time flies too fast!

Happy birthday to you, our handsome boy. We love you more than you'll ever know!

The End of Another Soccer Season

Aidan played another year of FC Fremont soccer. It was set up differently this year, they called it Academy instead of teams. Apparently this is the way the Europeans play. All in all, Aidan had fun. His coach was awesome and he made some new friends. At the closing ceremonies, the coaches presented their players with ribbons and high-fives.

Halloween Fun

We celebrated another Halloween with the Kwons, McDs and Stewarts. We enjoy meandering the quiet streets of San Ramon where the kids can run from house to house and we adults can mosey along behind them. Uncle Gene went all out and even decorated his house to look haunted, complete with scary noises, fog, and ugly monsters! It was spooky fun!

Snake Eyes and a zombie trick or treat

The boys sidelined, waiting for us to catch up

Halloween is over, can we say candy high?

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We took a field trip to Half Moon Bay today. We needed to get our pumpkins and decided to go to the best place on earth! Headed out bright and early and made our way to Lemo's and Pastorino's Farm. The Kwons met us up there and the kids were knee deep in "punkins", sweets, and tons of fun!

That's a pretty big punkin Ty!

Makena and her Samchun

According to Aidan that was DELICIOUS pumpkin pie!

the boyfriends, oops - I meant best friends

Kylee making the most adorable growling sounds I've ever heard!

load 'em up and move 'em out!

Tyler's First Picture Day

Tyler is enjoying preschool very much despite the fact he doesn't want to take naps, I mean he naps everyday without fail, but he likes to protest it over and over. Today, was picture day, his first picture day. I asked what he'd like to wear, because he is VERY particular. He had decided many days prior that he would be wearing his blazer and a tie. He stuck to his original wardrobe decision... I love his eye for fashion!

I love this heart melting smile!

Halloween Comes Early

The boys have been asking me, ok more like hounding me to get their Halloween costumes since August. They've known what they wanted to be for so long! While strolling through Target the boys just wanted to "look" at the costumes. I'm always hesitant to buy costumes early on the chance they'll change their mind at the last minute and then I'll be stuck with a costume that's no longer cool or whatever (can you tell I'm speaking from experience?) The boys suckered me into buying their costumes with promises up and down that they will NOT change their mind and they will NOT ruin them before Halloween. My fingers are crossed. I guess the chances aren't that good considering they have worn them 3x already and we're not even into October yet....

Please do not refer to them as Aidan and Tyler,

they only answer to Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow now

Ooops! I almost forgot!

I almost forgot to post that I did some sewing this weekend too! I busted out my oh so cute Hello Kitty sewing machine that my BFF gave me for my graduation and birthday present (I know that was months ago...)but I digress. Cat and I decided we would try our hand at sewing re-usable sandwich bags. I've seen these a few times, a friend at work showed them to me first last school year, my cousin made one, not to mention they're all over Etsy. I took my sewing machine on her maiden voyage and actually made a bag! Yay! I can't say I'm an expert yet, but I'm getting better and better with each bag I make. I am very excited!

sorry for the blurry photo...here are 2 of the resuable sandwich bags I made

The inside of the bag is lined with vinyl...don't look too close my seams look like a 5 year old did the sewing...
