Um, What Had Happened Was…

Being Messy, Good Eats, Laughing, Outdoor Play, School, Smiling, Traveling

Life got in the way. Work got in the way. Video games got in the way (not really), but you get the point. What once was a site that we used to update our family with what we were doing in NJ, quickly became a site where I’d be lucky if I could bulk-upload a ton of pictures so that it can help me jog my memory in times where I couldn’t remember what month or year we went to Disneyland. To be fair though, living close to our family made this site less relevant, at least for now. The hope still remains that one day, our little Tiger and our baby Horse will be able to go onto the World Wide Web (how archaic does that sound?) and be able to look at unforgettable memories that inevitably were forgotten.

For 2017, since I’m missing the better part of 8 months or so, I plan to split-up the memories between this site and our Baby Horse’s site. 2018 has already started and has taken off, leaving me at least another 3 months behind. Ugh, what had happened was…

Going to the park is always great. With video games quickly becoming the entertainment of choice with the kids, we have to do a better job of letting them run around and get dirty.

Thanks to the kid’s loving Aunt, we were able to take a trip to Las Vegas. While the kids were hanging out, Mommy and Daddy got to sneak away and see Babyface (yes, he’s still performing). We made it up to the kids by seemingly spending the rest of the trip at Gameworks.

I can’t remember if this was a Father’s Day or Mother’s Day gift, so I’ll say it was for Father’s Day. Seeing that it’s dated for 2016, I’m not sure why I never got around to taking a picture of it until 2017?

Our annual vacation to the Fair last year included their Uncle Ben as a special guest (although if you ask him, I don’t think he’ll ever go again)

This is our annual, annual Fair trip to the OC Fair. This special trip included a visit to some ice cream joint with their cousins (because clearly, they needed more sugary stuff in their bodies).

I’m definitely my own person, living with my own set of rules

Last, but not least, our Little Tiger started Kindergarten last year (and yes, he was in desperate need of a haircut)

(Spring) Breaking the Record for How Much Fun a Kid Should Have

Holiday, Laughing, Outdoor Play, School, Smiling, Traveling

Talk about a busy 7 days. We started our 2017 Spring Break vacation by heading to San Diego so Mommy and Daddy could visit some of their friends, and Little Tiger and Baby Horse was able to hang out with all their cousins.

The fun didn’t stop there as we met up with Little Tiger’s friends for a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge (talk about a lucky kid). Of course, Baby Horse wasn’t left out of the mix, as he had an equally good time floating in the lazy river (over and over and over).

If you think the fun ends there, you could be right…but you’re not. We ended up taking a 3-day adventure to Disneyland and California Adventure. Yes, a vacation with the kids is more of a trip than a vacation, but with everyone on their best behavior, and with over-prepared parents, this weekend was perfect.

To see pictures from Disneyland and California Adventures, please make sure to check out Baby Horse’s website.

It definitely helps that he’s much better at swimming now than last year. He still can’t consistently swim, but hey, who am I to judge?

Definitely not lazy…nothing stops this kid from going in the lazy river.

Now that’s a happy daisy.

Summing It All Up

Grandparents, Holiday, Laughing, School, Smiling, Sports

Talk about a whirlwind of events to end the year! Since turning six years old, Little Tiger has definitely had his fair share of memorable events. From getting his first “big boy” bike, to earning his white/yellow belt, to singing in his Christmas recital, it almost doesn’t get any better…well, unless you consider an awesome come-from-behind win by the Niners to defeat (and sweep), the terrible Los Angeles Rams!

If you think Little Tiger was busy, just check out what else him and his little brother has been up to during the months of November and December.

He hasn’t gotten the hang of riding the bike just yet, but I think looking cool on the bike gets him about half way there.

I think his little brother might have something to say about who’s the real fighter in the family (especially since someone is holding his certificate upside down).

Singing in the shower was awesome, but the performance was a bit pitchy. At least he finally dressed like he wasn’t a bum (here’s looking at you mom and dad).

Great day, great company, great game! It was a bit cold, but not as cold as I’m sure the Rams felt after getting beat. “Who’s House?”

Last, but not least, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

All The Girls Think I’m Cute

School, Smiling

He’s definitely growing up. From his potential first crush (we think it’s a teacher named Miss Evelyn), to how he tells us that all the older girls pat his head like a puppy and tells him he’s cute, our Little Tiger is definitely not a baby anymore.

Another indication is that he just started Kindergarten this week. He’s almost 6-years old now, and he’s his own little person. From loving Pokemon, to sleeping with his Toothless and Pickachu, to making goofy faces and dancing like no one’s watching, our Little Tiger is a ball of energy that’s growing and learning everyday. Hopefully, through all this, this year in school, he’ll learn how to read, tie his shoelace, and continue to be more independent.

Today it’s Kindergarten, tomorrow it’s Vegas. Who needs a clock when all we need to do is look at how much our kids have grown up?
