Soaking It Up

Smiling, Sports

At this age, little Tiger is soaking up pretty much everything we say, everything we do, and certainly all the little idiosyncrasies that his unsuspecting parents do. Although he’s been to the Science Center a million times, this time seemed a little different. He was more willing to try new things (we usually do the same things and have the routine down pat) and was overall great (it’s always great when a kid listens to you…especially when he’s already over excited).

The following day, we went to a birthday party in Jersey City and it only helped reinforce the importance of being near family. Sounds to me like the clock is ticking.

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyways

Laughing, Smiling

Just like in the movie Frozen, you never know what’s going to happen if you’ve been stuck in a castle (or house) for what seems like an eternity. For our Tiger, he’s spent the better half of the last few weeks at home watching a combination of Wreck-it-Ralph, Kung-fu Panda, and of course, How to Train Your Dragon. It goes without saying that once the weather warmed up a bit and he got out of the house, he was a different animal, especially in the snow.

A Heart of a Dragon

Shopping, Smiling

With Tiger spending almost every waking moment of the day quoting, “How to Train Your Dragon” (both Part I and II), we thought it’d be nice for his first Build-a-Bear to be Toothless! Obviously, the kid was ecstatic, and now, the Night Fury never leaves his side.

Happy New Year 2015

Good Eats, Laughing, Shopping, Smiling, Sports, Traveling

Happy New Year to everyone! To kick-off the new year, here are some photos from our recent California trip. As you know, for the first time ever, we took a week and a half long trip to our favorite places in California (San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego). In the week and a half that we had in Cali, we managed to go to the 49ers vs. Chargers game, Cal Academy of Science, Disneyland, Legoland, eat tons of great food, and of course, spend quality time with both our family and friends.

Seeing that our trip yielded hundreds of pictures (closer to a thousand), for this site, I’ll just post our SF trip, and for the rest of the trip, you’ll have to go to our Baby Horse’s site.

Here’s our baby Horse going on his first plane ride. It was a bit tough (4 poops in a 6-hour span, but we managed)

Nothing like a quick visit to Pier 39 to take in the sites. Of course, we also had time to get some much needed ramen before heading to the pier

Game day and everyone is ready to go! We took a quick visit to Santana Row to kill some time, then off to the big game.

As the brick says, hopefully we’re starting a new tradition. Next time though, we’ll need to bring a sharpie to add baby Horse’s name as well…

My Mommy and Daddy Used to Be One of Them

Good Eats, Holiday, Shopping, Smiling

For my first ever Black Friday event (actually taking place on Thursday @5pm), my mommy and daddy took me and my brother out to Best Buy and Target. After looking at the line outside of Best Buy, I’m starting to think that most people are nuts (especially since it snowed earlier today). When we left Best Buy and headed to Target, we conveniently waited inside a nearby store (Dick’s Sporting Goods), then waltzed right into Target getting everything on our list. No line, no waiting, no freezing, no smelly people…just common sense. Which leads me back to why I think most people are nuts…I mean, who would wait hours upon hours in line to not even get what they came into the store for? Here’s looking at you mom and dad.
