Woohoo, Grandma Jenny booked a flight to come and visit in June. Tyler will be so excited! What a wonderful way to start the Memorial Day weekend.
Our Friday dinner we tried to go a Thai restaurant in Morgan Hill, but ended up at a pretty crappy "asian" place instead. I can't even remember what it was called, but the food was not good at all. We did trick Tyler into eating pork. He had tonkatsu, but thought it was chicken katsu. hahahaha!
On Saturday daddy went golfing with the guys and mommy kept busy with the kiddos.
Sunday was girls day out (daddy kept busy with the kiddos) Sadly we are too old for girls night out. We got in a movie (Bridesmaids), lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and some light shopping at Oak Ridge mall.
Mommy had the entire family take pictures on Monday. We had the first appointment of the day @ 10am @ Pictures at Picture People. She thought this would be a great time since both kiddos are typically at their happiest in the morning. But Em fell asleep on the way there and woke up in a not so good mood. Nevertheless, we still got some pretty cute pictures!
That night was a nice BBQ dinner @ Murakami's. Steak, shrimp and ice cream. And AGAIN, Tyler at steak! Yippee Skippy!

May 22 - 26
Daddy finally comes home on Sunday. What a sigh of relief from mommy. Super mommy was doable, but not ideal. Working single parents are rock stars!
Emily is still teething. There is drool everywhere and she is having trouble sleeping well at night. She will chew on anything you give her, even her own shoe. Please teeth ... please please hurry and come out.
Her cough from the Bronchitis is getting better though.
It's teacher appreciation week for Emily's school this week. Mommy used her Cricut imagine for like the 4th time to decorate the lemons provided by the school. She didn't do anything fancy ,but they did come out cute. Too bad she didn't take any pictures of it. You'll just have to take her word on it.

May 11 - May 21
Goodbye Great Grandma! We are very happy we were able to visit you this past week.
It was hard to go back to work on Wednesday. Luckily it was a short week.
Em has been waking up at 3or 4 am for a feeding. This is off her normal routine. Mommy thinks she may be teething.
Tyler has been giving mommy a hard time in the mornings. He dilly dallies when getting ready and then cries when getting dropped off. Sometimes its not good when he's out of his routine for too long.
On Sunday may 15 daddy had left for a San Diego work trip. Mommy had to play "super" mommy for the entire week.
Monday - nothing too bad to complain about. Emily went down after nursing and mommy was able to get Tyler to be a reasonable hour.
Tues - Went to an early dinner with the Yee's. Then had the come along to Tyler's swimming lessons to help mommy watch Emily. Emily likes Uncle Clay ... not so much of Aunty Vicky, lol.
Wednesday - Had plans to go to the Yee's house for dinner, but instead had an awful weird stomach pain and ended up staying home and throwing up. Miraculously the kids went down without a fight and mommy was able to get some well needed rest.
Thursday - Brad came home late in the evening.
Friday - Brad went to work and then flew out to Colorado for the weekend.
Friday, May 20 Emily went to the doctor. Poor kiddo has Bronchitis. Friday dinner @ BJs we had to pass.
Saturday - We attended (May 21) Andrew's birthday party in Fremont. Tyler played with the kids outside in the bouncy house and mommy stayed primarily instead with Emily.
No idea if we did anything after this ... probably not.

Trip to Colorado (May 7 - 10)
We took a impromptu trip to Colorado visit Great Grandma Rex and Aunty Bonnie and family. Tyler was very excited to ride the plane. We flew out the morning of Saturday (May 7) and got in late afternoon.
Tyler and Emily did well on the plane. Mommy had her real experience nursing Emily in public and Tyler had his first experience with nausea. Poor kiddo ... got sick from the turbulence and had to use the "barf" bag.
In Colorado our first stop was to visit Great Grandma. She was very happy to see all of us, but extremely happy to see her great grand kids. She had visited with Tyler as a newborn, but this was the first time seeing Emily in person. We stayed for a while ... chatted about the kids, took some pictures, and then let her get some rest.
At Aunty Bonnie's house, Tyler opened up and acted just like he was at home. LOUD and overly energetic. We hung out, had dinner, then called it a night. It was a long day and the kids were pooped. Tyler camped on the ground next the the bed and Emily slept between her mommy and daddy. Such a little girl ... was a GIANT bed hogger.
The next morning, we had some breakfast before heading back to visit Great Grandma. It was mother's day and a special one for all spending it with family. We chatted more and then went to get some lunch. We found a pretty fancy steak place in downtown Loveland and had quite a meal. After lunch we made another stop to visit Great Grandma before heading back to Aunty Bonnie's house. Back at the house, it was another relaxing evening of food and chatter. Tyler and Emily were all the entertainment we needed.
On Monday, we had a special plan for Great Grandma. We visited first thing to take a few more pictures. Then after lunch we went to Target to print out the pictures and put together a little mini picture album. Now Great Grandma would have pictures of her and her great grand kids. :)
When we went back to drop it off, she had just had some medication and was resting, so we left the book for her to look at later. Back in Fort Collins, we visited Aunty Pat's house. Tyler had fun playing foos ball and basketball. It was our last night in Colorado and a fun one at that. We had pizza at Aunty Bonnie's then had to call it a night.
We didn't get to do much the following morning. Pack, breakfast ... and then head to the airport. Our trip was a short one, but one that was very special. We returned to San Jose on Tues (May 10).

May 1 - May 6
Went to visit Evan and Owen on Sunday May 1. Tyler had fun riding bicycle and trying to ride a scooter. He also took well to one of their cousins, Maddie. That kids, just loves playing with the girls. They actually played quite well together.
Emily was a good girl. She didn't cry much and even let Ed and Lennie hold her. :)
The first week of may was Teacher's appreciation week at Tyler's school. The school sent out a brochure on things to do. Bring a flower, make a homemade card... and that sort of thing. It was fun for Tyler. He enjoyed preparing the items and especially enjoyed giving them the following morning.
Mommy finally got to use her Cricut Imagine. With the printer feature, it was pretty fast to make 3 cards. And the came out well ...
