Sept 6 - Sept 10
I'm so sorry Emily. Your blog has been taken over to be my venting board, lol.
Damn Cricut is broken! I had to be VERY creative when doing Tyler's birthday poster for school. Cricut customer support is more than willing to help. I spend an hour trying to debug! I had to cut the lady off because I had to go to work.
Daddy is in Seattle again this week, GRRR! When is it going to end? Super mommy needs a break!
Mommy attended Tyler's school yearly parent's orientation night on Thursday. Yee's watched the kiddos. Tyler did fine, but Emily made Uncle Clay carry her the entire time! The meeting was an hour. Add in driving time, total time maybe an hour and a half. Glad Uncly Clay has muscles!
Saturday daddy took Tyler for a haircut. We did some shopping, Kohl's and Costco.
This week, I got Em's invitations ready and trying to decide what she will be for Halloween.
She crawls like a champ now and cruises along the couch very carefully. She still eats baby food, but seems to like mashed "regular" food. Mommy is crossing her fingers, toes and eyes that she won't be as picky as Tyler!
Here's to hoping!

2011 Labor Day Weekend
Friday - Yeehaw, daddy comes home from his Seattle day trip! Well, not that it matters much since mommy was at work and the kids at school.
Saturday
Daddy had his class in the morning. What class you'd need to ask him. :)
Mommy tried so hard to make it to the barber's shop for a very long overdue hair cut, but wasn't able to make it. Mornings have been getting hectic.
Getting the kiddos ready, just isn't as easy as it use to be.
Instead we went to Walmart and Michaels to get stuff for Tyler's Birthday Party goodie bags. Mommy's running out of ideas. Next year, maybe
we'll just make cookies!
On our way home from shopping, Tyler asked to go to the Library to borrow some books. We made story time and ran into one of his classmates, Juhi,
who just so happens lives very near to us. Daddy met us at the Library, we set up an afternoon play date with the kids and headed out for lunch.
Dosa Place is where we went and Tyler was not happy. I thought for sure he would enjoy the crispy thin (very thin) sort crepe style bread thing.
But he wasn't open to it from the beginning. Barely wanted to try it and sat there upset for most of lunch.
On the way home we stopped off at Safeway to order his Cars 2 birthday cake.
Nap time was easy, just because he knew when he got up we'd go to Juhi's house.
I would have to say that the Juhi play date was a hit. It was the first time we'd been over to there house, but literally it was a 2 - 3 minute
drive from our place. It was a nice day out, so they had set up some water play for the kids out in the back yard. It was this very cool
blown up slide with an attached pool at the bottom. They absolutely had a blast. Emily hung out with mommy on the porch swing and was
entertained by a few crying baby dolls as she crawled around in the house.
I can't explain what happened next, but Tyler didn't want to leave ... so we all joked about having a sleepover because it was something we
thought he'd for sure NOT want to do. Boy were we wrong and boy did our plan back fire. He was more than willing to stay and practically
ordered us to go home and get his jammies! Man was that a big mistake on our part. We sadly ended up having to carry him out crying
promising that we could come back and play again soon.
In prep for his actual birthday tomorrow. Mommy baked a cake after he want to sleep.
Happy 4th Birthday Tyler! On Sunday morning he woke up in a good mood (thankgoodness, especially after yesterday's episode at Juhi's).
We gave him 3 birthday gifts; One from mommy, one from daddy , and one from Emily. Then mommy and Tyler finished up the birthday cake by
putting on frosting and decorating it. It was cake for breakfast! Mmmmm mmmmm good! (Maid also came)
Later on that day, we took him to Chuck E Cheese the actual location where his party would be. He actually hadn't been there before. At least
not recently enough for him to remember. He played games, rode rides ... almost ate pizza! He is already aware that pizza is all there will
be at his party next week. He says he will eat it, but won't believe it till we see it. He's very excited for next week.
For his Birthday dinner he requested spam musubi and chicken katsu, lol. What a Hawaii Asian kid! So mommy had to slave away in the kitchen
that night, hahaha!
Monday, a day off. You'd think we'd do something out of the ordinary or extremely fun. I wish! We definitely need to change this.
We went to TI. I don't know what it is but it's always a priority to go and get stuff there. It bother's me because it's always on Sunday
when Monday is a work day! (of course in this case, Monday because of the holiday) GRR!
Anyway ... we went for Dim Sum in Milpitas. One of my favorite Dim Sum places too! Typically we are lazy to drive so we stay local in San Jose
which has a few places. They're good, but not as good as up north. At Best Buy I was finally able to get my pink iPad case! Then it was
back to Michael's again more good bag stuff, lol. And while we were out .... Petco, Bed Bath and Beyond, Carter's, Disney Store, Old Navy,
Target ....
In the night, I did Tyler's Birthday board. Sooo last minute I am.
I also didn't get a chance to ask about the cupcakes ... so I just bought them from the grocery store.
Damn i better remember to pay tuition.

Aug 21 - Aug 27
On Sunday, mommy runs errands in the morning as usual.
Kohl's ,Party City, Dim Sum @ Ocean Delight, Bank, and Babies R Us
Monday and Tuesday goes by like a blur. Daddy isn't here again, so it's mommy holding down the fort. Emily is really really amused by Tyler and Tyler is willing to amuse Emily, so this is a BIG plus for mommy right now.
With no time to cook, mommy and Tyler had KFC on Wednesday and MCd's on Thursday.
On Friday, Aug 26 Emily's school has teacher's work day. So mommy and Em have a mommy and daughter day. We stayed home for most of it, but did get to check out
Party City and Michael's. Tony and Alba's is what was for dinner.
Daddy came home on the late flight.
Saturday, Aug 27 Daddy has class now, so mommy has more QT with the kiddos. We hit up the Farmer's market and one of Tyler's favorite restaurants, Panda Express. Then with daddy we headed up north ended up at the Scholastic book fair for a bit, some shopping at Kohl's and WalMart. Then to visit Vu and his family.
Emily wasn't that scared with the "new" people. We don't seem them enough for her to really know know them. But she didn't cry and would crawl around and play. Tyler on the other hand knows them really well and I am betting we could probably drop him off there and leave and he could care less. Hmmm, what an interesting idea. Maybe we should try that one day!

August 14 - August 20
This was not a good week for mommy. She got sick and daddy was in Seattle. Emily may also be getting sick as well. Tyler is actually becoming very helpful. He will now happily get things and do things for mommy/daddy. And he doesn't minding "playing" with Emily. Not so much interacting, but being in the same room and playing next to each other. She loves him so much. Watches his every move and smiles.
Sunday - Em's 9 month pictures @ Picture People. As usual, Em doesn't want to smile for the camera. In face, even Tyler didn't want to smile. We managed to get a few good ones ... This was the very beginning of mommy's sore throat.
Monday - Daddy left for Seattle. Emily cried during drop off, first time in a long time. Not sure what triggered this. Mommy is feeling worse with her nose now dripping like faucet. What a bad time for daddy to be away. Body aches and chills, blah!
Tues - Mommy is now totally congested. Emily also has a runny nose and has started acting crabby. Daddy flew back from Seattle.
Wed - Ortho appointment to pick up retainer and get opinion on Tyler's extra tooth. Tyler had water play day. Mommy intended to volunteer, but wasn't feeling up to it.
Thurs - In service day for Tyler. Flames for dinner, mommy wasn't about to cook.
Friday - Sato Sushi with the family
Saturday - Daddy's Birthday. Tyler helped to make his favorite, brownies. And also made him a special card featuring Spiderman!
We hit up KrispyKreme for some donuts and attended two birthday parties.
Emma's Birthday party, short nap, then Haylie's Birthday party.

Aug 28 - Sept 1
Mommy forgot to mention about her recent surprise gift from daddy. Brand spanking new iPad2! It was totally unexpected and sadly made mommy feel a bit sad, since it was recently daddy's birthday and she didn't really get him a nice gift.
Now, Tyler is a funny guy. Since mommy has a "new" iPad2. He has claimed the "old" iPad to be his iPad. A soon to be 4 year old with an iPad, or so he thinks, lol.
Saturday, Aug 28 we all attended Jayden's birthday party at the park. It was a nice day out and Tyler seemed to have fun, despite not remembering who Jayden was. Sadly we don't see them enough for him to remember.
We then went to Valley Fair to get case for iPad2, but didn't find anything good.
Em was grouchy with a slight fever. Got Advil for her which seemed to help. We think it could potentially be teething.
Mon - Daddy actually here. He took T to school, but mommy had to pick him up. Mailed box to Gma. Mommy visited Sally in hospital during lunch ... since kids aren't allowed in the Mother and Baby unit, it was just easier this way.
For the rest of the week, mommy forgot to jot down notes, so this is all she had.
Tues - Us poor folk had Jack in the box for dinner.
Wed - Mommy had Boston market lunch.
Thurs - Five Guys for lunch with Co-Workers.

August 7 - August 13
Emily is getting much better a crawling. Soon her wish will come true and she will be able to following Tyler all over the house. She currently watches him intently and tries to follow, but isn't fast enough. At least she can now crawl with her tummy off the ground. No more of the army style. :) And being able to put herself into a sitting position is awesome! Her bottom teeth are also in.
Sun -
We took Tyler and Emily to see Thomas the Train @ roaring camp. Tyler and Daddy got to ride the train where there was an actual Thomas pulling. It was very realistic and all the kids were so excited to see him.
In the camp grounds they had various types of activities for the kids to do. Bubbles, tattoos, art, bouncy houses, etc ... We ran into Ben from Tyler's school and they played together for quite some time while we were there. We took a break for lunch. Cheeseburgers is now officially on the list of things Tyler will eat. And lucky for us, they don't just have to be from McDonalds.
Later on that day we had a BBQ (steak and chicken with corn on the cob)with the murakami's at our place. To end the day, I picked up Vicky from airport and got some secret Hawaii goodies. :)
Monday it was back to the grin with daddy back to Seattle. After school we went to party city to pick up invitations for Tyler's birthday party. We invited Aunty Vicky over for some BBQ leftovers.
Tues- momm got Spareribs from Aunty Cindi. The kids are actually behaving and so far making this week pretty nice for mommy.
Wed - We got invited to Vicky's for chicken look fun. Tyler actually ate it. :)
Friday - mommy had a fun day @ Great America curtosy of work. Dinner was sushi @ Sato's with Aunty Vicky. Daddy came back from Seattle later in the evening.
Sat - The entire family went to the dentist. Everyone did well except for mommy, who has to fix a few fillings. Mommy and Aunty Vicky went to the Scrapbook Expo and daddy and kids went to to a Pump It Up birthday party.
Later that evening we went shopping for Tyler's 49ers jersey. There was no selection at Sports Authority. Luckily we found somethingat Target. This is for Emily's 9 month studio pictures. She has a cute 49er's cheerleading out fit! Dinner was Panda @ Oakridge Mall's food court.
