Game night

Tonight we went to the K House to have a game night amongst friends.  The boys had friends to play with while the adults played Cards Against Humanity.  It was so much fun.  When will we get together again???

Open School Day

Today was Open School Day.  This is a day where parents teach about their culture in the classrooms.  I enjoyed teaching in the boys' classroom last year, but now that I am a teacher at their school, I was unable to go to their class.  I did enjoy dressing up with the boys and  representing our cultures.  We also brought in bagels and lox and rice and seaweed.  What will we bring next year???

February Boys

We celebrated the February birthday boys at lunch at True Foods and dessert at Superba.  These two have such a great relationship and I hope that Noah and Micah will also remain close when they get older.  What's the secret guys???

Breathing Light

I'm still sick so I missed out on the opportunity to see James Turrell's installation, Breathing Light.  The boys had a great time with Jawsh and it's so nice that they can bond over art.  I hope that the boys will look back at their childhoods and remember all the great art they saw with Jawsh.  When will we go back to LACMA???

Friends

Today the boys went off to meet old friends.  It's been quite a while since they have seen Kyer.  They met for lunch and movie, Kung Fu Panda 3.  After the movie, the boys went to the playground to run off some energy.   They had a great time.  When will they see him again???

Happy Birthday Dad!

For Dad's 39th birthday we celebrated with dinner at Osteria Monza.  It was a delicious meal and everyone really enjoyed it.  Happy Birthday to my dearest husband... wonder what he wished for???

Today Jawsh starts his new adventure... he will be focusing on his art for the next year.  There will definitely be some big changes occurring and we're looking forward to taking this journey with him.  What will this year bring???

Giant Robot Biennale

We ventured to the Japanese American National Museum to view the Giant Robot Biennale.  We saw some favorite artists like Kozyndan and James Jean.  The boys did some sketching and afterwards, they enjoyed some boba walking around Little Tokyo.  When will we see our next show???

Puzzle Time

The boys just finished their 300 piece robot puzzle.  What puzzle will they complete next???

Karaoke

The boys went to G's birthday today and had a great time singing songs.  Here they are singing, Everything is Awesome, from the Lego Movie.  Although they appear to be very focused, they had a great time.  I wonder if they will want to sing karaoke with me???

Happy Birthday Jack!

We had the special opportunity to host J's birthday party since he will be moving to Singapore in a few weeks.  The boys had a great time playing and going on a Scavenger Hunt.  The sleepover was a huge success and I'm glad that we were able to do this for him.  When will we see him again???

Mandoo Time

Micah wanted to go to Halmoni's house to make mandoo for the new year.  This is a new years tradition so he was super excited to wrap the filling.  Afterwards,  my mom cooked soup and fried the dumplings.  It was delicious.  When will he cook with my mom again???

Happy New Year 2016

Happy New Year!!!  Tonight we went to the Westerfield Home to have dinner, game night, and to bring in the new year (at 9:00PM).  I wonder what our new years resolutions will be???

The Broad Museum

The Broad Museum... what a zoo.  There were so many people in line and we were fortunate enough to have tickets to enter the main museum but we missed out on the Infinity Room.  We still had a great time going through and looking at all the art.  We saw so many of our favorite artists like Kruger, Warhol, Murakami, and here are the boys in front of Basquiat...  when will we visit again???

DTLA

We love heading into Downtown LA to try new places.  We went to Back Mercat for brunch.  The boys were not that impressed but Jawsh and I liked the food.  I don't think I would return for brunch, but I could see why it's a popular place.  There were a lot of bold flavors and interesting pairings.  After brunch we headed to the Broad Museum...  when will try another DTLA hot spot???

Journey into Space

The kids Christmas present from Uncle Jawsh and Komo was a trip to the California Science Center.  We took the kids to see Journey into Space 3D and to go through the exhibit.  The kids were not that impressed with the movie... Kaitlyn and Emma insisted that  this was not a movie because there was no characters in it.  When we went through the exhibit, it held their interest for a bit but they were definitely ready to move onto another part of the museum.  Next year we will have to think of another outing that they will enjoy... I wonder where will go???

Santa Monica Beach

Our next stop was Santa Monica Beach... the kids made their way to the pier and they got to ride the rollercoaster!  It was such a fun filled day!  Zach's parents enjoyed the walk down the pier and the ocean breeze.  Afterwards, we went to Shutters on the Beach to have dinner.  It was a great day... when will we spend time with them again???

Getty Villa

We spent the afternoon at the Getty Villa with the family.  The views were so beautiful and the kids were very well behaved walking through the grounds.  They spent a great deal of time sketching the gardens and running around outdoors.  When will we visit again???

Merry Christmas

The kids really enjoy spending Christmas together.  They are so happy to celebrate and sing songs in front of the family.  This year, Micah played the piano while Emma sang, Jingle Bells and Noah played the piano while Kaitlyn sang, Deck the Halls.  This was a special Christmas because Kelly's inlaws came to California to spend the holiday with us.  I wonder what they will think of Christmas with the Mins???

We believe...

  The boys still believe in Santa Claus and had an exhaustive list of things they wanted to receive.  Micah's list revolved around candy and gum, whereas Noah's list was very tech heavy.  I wonder what Santa will bring these two???
