How we roll

Check out how we roll now.  Princess loves her new "chariot." 

 Visiting Auntie Joyce & Uncle Randall's twin girls, aren't they cute!  So big for only 2.5 months old.

So fun having the Pongs, Changs and Chi's over for dinner in our backyard. 

3 girls vs. 6 boys 

 Auntie Min treated the ladies out for a fancy brunch buffet at Hayes Mansion.  Sounds like a yummy time.

Mari supervising us boys doing our laps.

 Chatting with Uncle Albert (and Uncle Brad) while I do the dishes.
Holy cow!  This week we ordered a grass-fed cow (splitting with our neighbors).  Our parents decided this is a healthier choice for our family.   The cow's still growing and grazing on grass, we'll get the meat all packaged up and frozen next month.

Another Fun SCU Wedding

Mama's college roomie, Auntie Johannah and Uncle Kaho tied the knot on Sat in SF. 

Snacking on Maiden Lane in Union Square between the ceremony and reception.

SCU girls ready to party!

While our parents were at the wedding, I was having fun babysitting my cutie cousin Logan (8 mo).  

Auntie Jen - thanks for the lunch date to Red Robin to cheer me up when I was missing my big bro while he was at Camp Koinonia, a Christian camp in Santa Cruz.  So sweet of you to take me out!

Bounce a Rama fun, they have some really fun slides and arcade games there.

 Weekly library visit.  Can't wait to get our next batch of books.

Mama had a work dinner so Dada took us out for "brinner" at IHOP.

 Google threw a family BBQ party @ the Shoreline Aquatic Center.  Boys paddled while the girls relaxed.  We're so blessed that Dada's work invites us, feed us, provide activities for the us, and listen to a live reggae band!

Go Sabercats

Our 1st Sabercats game this season (arena football @ HP Pavillion).  Was exciting to see them win and make it to the playoffs.  Our neighbors Sydney and Hailey are now fans too. 

 Mama and Dada had a lunch date to Google's seafood fair.  They're still raving about their lobster roll, crab chowder, salmon tartar, grilled oysters, halibut lollipop and more!  They sure love to eat.

Our big bro left us for camp today in Santa Cruz with his friends.  He'll be gone all week until Sat.  We miss him so much already!  Quote of the week:  "I'm so sad, I miss my best friend, your brother can be your best friend right?" - Ethan


School friend's bday party.  Nice to see our school buddies during the summer. 

Dada's Shabu feast in SF with his cousins for Uncle Jason's bachelor dinner.  All you can eat and drink! 

This week Dada went to Chicago for 24 hours for a business meeting.  He loved his Virgin Atlantic experience.

Tyler's 1st Triathalon


Transitioning to biking after my 100 yard swim.  2 mile bike and 1/2 mile run before the finish line. 


Yea I did it!  Uncle Roo - thanks for inspiring me to do a triathlon and training me!  Uncle Michael, Uncle Eric, Grandma/Grandpa, and of course Coach Roo - thanks for coming out to watch me swim, bike and run!  Your cheers pushed me to go faster. 


July 4th annual neighborhood parade.  Can you find us "3 Things" in the crowd?

Mari fell asleep after the parade so the boys went out to see Brave.  Dada spoiled us with lots of yummy treats. 


Twin cousins came over to help us BBQ for the 4th.  They are getting so big, especially Maya. 


Front row seats to see the Shoreline fireworks.  So fun to stay up late and watch America celebrate 236 years of freedom! 

Family Field Trip to Sasaulito.  1st stop: Bay Area Children Discovery Museum.  Here we are discovering the sea.

Mari discovering her artistic side

Lunch time - most amazing view behind us!  Us kids crossed the Golden Gate Bridge for the 1st time. 

2nd stop:  Worlds largest marine mammal "hospital."  Here we learned how injured sea lions, seals and otters are rescued and taken care of at this hospital.

 Being goofy before our tour.  Very educational fun field trip.

Uncle Micheal - thanks for coming over to babysit us so our parents can go to a funeral to celebrate the life of their college friend's dad who past away at 62 years young.  A good reminder for all of us that our health is the most important thing.

Outdoor Summer Fun



The knights and queen of our household. 

So fun to play with these big chess pieces @ Santana Row. 

Dessert at one of Mama's favorite bakery, Cocola.

Riding in style. 

Bike and watermelon playdate with the Tans.  We love their new house, can't wait to go back again to play. 

Don't call child services, I actually volunteered to do this. 

What my Tiger Mom makes me do for "fun."  USA puzzle and then I have to study the map.

 Weekly Saturday morning b-ball league @ the YMCA.  We're 3-1!

Our twin cousins had their reg egg and ginger celebration this weekend.  We had so much fun catching up with family and friends, we forgot to take a picture but here's a recent picture of them. Can't wait til they can run around with us.
