6th Annual Family BBQ

K has been under the weather the past week. She caught another cold and this time a fever from school. This is the second time she has been sick since starting school a month and a half ago. Her classroom is a breeding ground for germs. Once one child is sick the whole class gets sick.  Mommy and Daddy have been exhausted since K's coughing has affected her night time sleeping. She has been waking up at 4am! Hopefully she will get well soon!

Let's recap what happened the past weekend. Saturday was Ayumi's red egg and ginger party at Hokkadio. She was 100 days old. Uncle Will thought it would be funny for mommy to hold both babies. Ayu looked so cute in her pink outfit and matching headband!

 On Sunday was the 6th Annual Family BBQ. Auntie Kristine has hosted the bbq the last couple of years and it has been at Lake Chabot but this year we tried a new location, Crab Cove in Alameda.  Auntie Kristine is a great chef and creates new recipes each bbq. This year was pork belly bacon wrapped with filet migon and also cajun tiger prawns.

At crab cove there is a visitor center with fish tanks. K watched as the fish were fed brine shrimp for lunch.

Uncle Derek and Ethan gave the girls a ride back to the picnic table.

Ethan is like a big brother to K. He is always watching over her and playing with her. K got to experience her first mini bike ride.


The mommies tried to get the 3 kids to stay still to snap a quick picture.

At home, K liked to take Mommy's shopping bag and hold it and wave bye. Inside the bag was Po Po's birthday gift.

Great Grandma's 95 year old friend knitted K this hat as a gift. Mommy wanted to take a picture with it before it got too small.

K is learning more words. New words she can say are cracker, bubbles, up, get down, go, ball, apple, Po Po and Gong Gong. When Mommy or Daddy asks her a question, her first response is  "Ummm." She can also imitate someone sneezing. She throws her back and forward and says "Achoo." She can sing "Row Row" for the first verse of the song.  Her favorite word these days is NO!
