Quality time with Great Grandma

 On Tue, I brought great grandma to her dr. appt and she asked me to come back so on Wed to have lunch with her after my storytime at the library.   She's 93 but overall doing well.   Takes her a while a move around but she's still one sharp cookie.

1st weekend soccer tournament.  We had a great time and took 2nd place.

Sibling bath fun

For "goodness snakes" lesson at school.  

This week Mama was on a mission to try new recipes.  Here are some brussel sprout chips in the making, actually quite yummy!     

All from scratch chicken pot pie (thanks to neighbor's help) ...  this week she also made chicken taco soup, bbq beef brisket and some Asian dishes (thanks to PoPo): pork belly and shaking beef.  Can't wait to try more dishes next week.  She's enjoying it and our tummies are happy.  

Minute to Win It

It was Mama's turn to plan FFF (family fun friday).  She put us through 5 "Minute to Win It" challenges.  Very close game. 

Our favorite challenge was having to knock down the most cups with a ball hanging from our head. 

She liked it so much she wanted to do it again and again. 

Here's a video capturing the fun!

Protective lil sister holding my hand during my dental cleaning - no cavities! 

Sisters night out - hot pumpkin ramen hit the spot on a cold evening. 

Afterschool activity - homemade play-dough. We had fun mixing food coloring to get our desired colors.

Girls morning playdate.  T is such a sweet girl.

Our 6th annual Operation Christmas Child project.  We each packed a box of goodies (toys, art supplies, socks, toothbrush, soap etc) to send to kids in different countries.  For many this box will be their only Christmas gift. 

See us in action!

Date with Mama at Krispy Kreme.  We rarely get donuts so this is a real special treat. 

Dada's yummy dinner - we're really enjoying steak dinners.   Of course Mama has to throw in all the veggies. 

Soccer Season Finale

We finished a strong soccer season this Sat - thanks coaches! 

Louie-Chan cousins 1st (of many) playdates at Hailey's new home! 

Celebrating my teacher's wedding!

 I like to go grocery shopping with Mommy.  

Had a sports date with Dada at the park playing baseball, basketball and football.  Then he got all nostalgic on me and wanted to push me on the baby swing like he did 8 years ago.  It was silly but actually kind of fun.  

The Kitchen

On Sat, our parents discovered their new favorite restaurant, The Kitchen in Sacramento.   They said it was even better than French Laundry.  

Party of 9 cousins celebrating Auntie Jen/Cindy's 30th Bday over lots of yummy food and drinks. 

Just a few of their favorite the ingredients 

They were so happy to enjoy a 5 hour meal without us.   Check out my dad's G+ album if you want to see pics of what they ate.

Jelly Belly Factory, what a sweet time! 

A bit hyper after taste testing so many flavors.
