Can I Take Your Order?

K likes to pretend she is a waitress and ask what someone likes to order. Here she is asking what Daddy likes to eat.

Family & Friends Kind of Weekends

A couple weeks ago K had a play date with Auntie Jenn and her family at Superfranks in Dublin. It's an indoor play area with slides, arcades and toys .

It was good to see everyone. It's been a long time. Isaiah is the oldest and always such a good big brother to his younger siblings.

K and Ava both spent time coloring. Ava developed stranger anxiety and would scream would Uncle Allen looked at her, but at the end of the day she let Mommy hold her.

During lunch K wanted to sit next to the boys. Ethan wasn't in the mood to take a picture, but that's okay.

Auntie Caroline and Uncle Vu were in town. Uncle Vu got a job offer and will be moving back to CA.

Since the weather has been warmer K has been playing with her water table.

Her other favorite activity are bubbles. Everytime when she gets home from school, she asks Mommy and Daddy to play with her bubbles.

 

Last weekend K celebrated Gung Gung's birthday. He let her blow out of his candles. Happy birthday Gung Gung.

 

Little Helper

Hot Summer Days

Last weekend Auntie Mai invited K to the SF Zoo. It was Adam's first time at the zoo. He slept most of the time, but when he was awake K wanted to play peek a boo with him in his stroller.

K recognized many animals. Her favorite was the giraffe. She saw them eat leaves from the tree. Mommy thought the koala was really cute. Daddy thought he looked like a stuffed animal.

K was so excited there was a carasouel at the zoo.

After the zoo, we all had dinner at a Shanghai restaurant. It was such a hot day, K cooled off with some froyo.

The next day K went to visit baby Charlie. She looks like her older brother. She wore the new headband K got her. Doesn't she look so cute?

K was extra friendly to Tristan and wanted to hug him and kiss him all the time.

For July 4th, K spent the day with Uncle Derek and Auntie Gabby. First stop was Fenton's since it was another hot day. K asked for green ice cream. Apparently she likes mint chocolate chip. That's Mommy's favorite too!

She loves her Uncle Derek!

Next stop was a visit to Auntie Gabby's school. She teaches preschool. K met Shoo the lizard. She was scared to hold him and petted him instead.

There were a lot of fun things to do in the yard. K climbed up and down the slide. Taz the dog played in the yard too.

Yesterday K went to the Alameda County Fair with Mason. It was another hot day. Both kids were sweating like crazy. They had their share of corn dogs and roasted corn. Mason got to ride the merry-go round for the first time and was pretty brave and loved it.

Taco Tuesday

Last week it was Taco Tuesday for dinner. K built her own taco. She loves raw tomatoes so she piled those on.

She was trying to be careful not to crack the shell when eating it. She requested to have more tacos in the future.

K got bit at school. She took a toy from another child and the child retaliated by biting. Both kids had serious talks with the teachers. The bite went away the next day.

K's favorite activity at school is cutting paper. Teacher Janice calls her the professional paper cutter. K loves it so much, Daddy bought her a pair of scissors on Amazon.

Po Po no longer has a flip phone and splurged on an iphone! The first thing she did was Facetime K.

Gung Gung enjoyed talking and seeing K too.
