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...

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!

Enjoying some yummy popsicles before the rain started

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.
