Roar N Snore

I had such a fun time chaperoning Micah at the San Diego Wild Animal Park Roar and Snore!  The boys had a great day exploring and had so much fun at the camp.  The night hike was memorable and the next morning was absolutely beautiful.  Jawsh attuned with Noah last year and I would love to do this as a family... when will we make time to go???

Art

The boys have been going to Otis Art School for art class.  Here they are learning about color and pixels.  Can you guess which one is Noah's and which one is Micah's???

Art time

Art time...  this is time that Jawsh likes to spend with the boys.  What are they all drawing???

Noah's apple pie

This is Noah's attempt at making an apple pie.  He has been asking to learn how to bake apple pies so that everyone can enjoy them in the family.  It was delicious!  What will he make next???

Liam's birthday

Happy birthday to Liam!  I can't believe he is 6 years old!  Where has the time gone?

Catalina Lab

Noah was drawing kelp and pressing kelp leaves in class while in Catalina.   Micah and I missed him and Jawsh very much, but it looks like he's having a good time, doesn't it???

Catalina lab

Dissecting squid.  The look on Noah's face says it all, don't you think???

Catalina

Noah and Jawsh went to Catalina with Noah's class this week.  They had a great time crossing the Pacific Ocean to Catalina.  They enjoyed snorkeling and the life labs.  Micah and I missed them both.  When will we travel to Catalina as a family???

Hamilton

Wow...  we got tickets to Hamilton!  Thanks to my generous mother in law, Jawsh and I were able to see the hottest show on Broadway.  We had great seats on the Mezzanine and we really enjoyed the cast performance.  What show will we watch next???

Universal Studios

It's always fun to go to Universal Studios with the boys.  They love Harry Potter World and each time we go we try another treat... this time they loved doughnuts in Simpson Land and last time they liked the Squishees.  What will we try next???

Kozyndan

We travelled to Chinatown to see Kozyndan's show, The Golden State.  It was interesting to see all their art and sculptures.  I wonder if the boys will be inspired by all the art they get to see throughout Los Angeles.  What kind of influence will it have o them later in life???

La Luz Gallery

Today we went to La Luz Gallery to see some of Jawsh's work at the Coaster show.  It was so much fun to see his work displayed in this gallery, especially since Jawsh loves this gallery.  The boys liked looking for his coasters and we can't wait to see his next show.  What will the next show be???

Birthday dinner

Even on my birthday, I have to shuttle the kids back and forth from school and soccer practice. After practice, we went to Cinco to have birthday tacos.  We took a picture with the lady.  It was a nice evening... when will we head back to Cinco with Uncle Zach???

Happy birthday dinner

We celebrated my 39th birthday today at Ruth's Chris.  It was a nice time to celebrate just with my boys.  I feel so blessed that they are in my life and that they are such good people.  I am so happy.  When will we celebrate with the rest of the family???

Solar eclipse

Today we participated in history and got to see the solar eclipse.  The kids took great precaution to see the solar eclipse with cereal boxes and solar glasses.  It was a great time.  April 8, 2024 will be the next solar eclipse... Noah will be about to head to college and Micah will be finishing up high school.  Will we be able to watch this together???

Petersen Museum

It has been several years since we have been to the Petersen Museum.  The last time we were there Micah fractured his arm and we ended up in Urgent Care.  This time around, there was no car ramp and the Discovery changed.  The boys liked viewing all the cars, especially the Bugattis.  When will we head back???

First day of school

Today the boys had their first day of school..  Micah is now a 4th grader in Yellow Cluster and Noah is in Blue Cluster as a 5th grader.  This is Noah's last year at Open School, which is exciting but also sad because he will be moving on to middle school!  This is the last year the boys will be together so I hope they enjoy it.  I know that I will.  What will this last year be like for Noah???

Friends forever

Noah and Micah have been so fortunate to make some good friendships at their school.  They really loved having J visit from Singapore.  It was nice to see them all hanging out together.  When will they get to see J again???

Date night

Tonight we went out to dinner at Father's Office and then we watch a movie!  An actual date night!  Afterwards, we went to the Culver City Hotel to have some drinks and to listen to live jazz.  It was a great time!  When will we go out again???

Surf Rider's beach clean up

Today we spent an hour helping the Surf Rider's clean up Venice beach.  I didn't realize how many cigarette butts were at the beach!  We picked up about 4 pounds of trash and then we enjoyed the rest of the time near the waves.  When will we get to help out again???
