Topanga State Park

The boys went to Topanga State Park for their field trip to learn about the Tongva People who once inhabited the Los Angeles Basin and the Southern Channel Islands.  They were a hunter gatherer society.  The boys learned how they survived and had opportunities to recreate how they lived.  Jawsh had the opportunity to chaperone this field trip and he was very impressed by the field guide expert.  In all the years that I have lived in Los Angeles, I have never been to this state reserve.  When will I visit the park???

Picnic

For the past five years we have been attending the annual Rancho Co-op picnic hosted by the boys' preschool.  It was a fun afternoon with plenty of good food and friends.  The boys enjoyed spending their time with the W boys.  Even though they go to separate schools they still enjoy spending time together when we see each other.  Will we hear back next year???

Open House

Open House is one of my favorite events at school.  I love going into the boys' classrooms and seeing all their work in class.  Although we're at the same school, I rarely have time to go into their classroom so it's nice to see everything they are working on.  This year was special because I only had one classroom to visit since the boys were in the same class... next year will be different.  What will it be like then???

Baby Brady

Micah really wants to be a big brother... he loves being in charge of little people like my cousin's son, Brady.  The whole lunch, Micah liked sitting next to Brady and playing with him.  When will we see them again???

Sports Authority Commercial

Micah had a special opportunity with his baseball team to be cast in a Sports Authority commercial.  He was on first base for most of the shoot.  He said it was a long day and his favorite part was the snacks (and getting out of school early). Will this start his career???

CPK Chefs

The boys went on a special tour of CPK with their classmates.  They had the opportunity to make their own pizza and tour the kitchen.  They really enjoyed walking through the back of the kitchen and making their pizzas, but the part they enjoyed the most was eating!  They also had a chocolate brownie for dessert.  This was a great experience for the kids.  Will this be an inspiration for Micah to open a future restaurant???

Happy Easter

We had our annual Easter egg hunt at my parent's house.  The kids really enjoyed looking for eggs and were even happier when they cracked them open to find candy and money.  Last year, my Dad started hid money which changed the friendly hunt to an all out competition.  This year was no different except for the fact that he hid a $100 dollar bill in the egg shaped like Darth Vader's helmet.  He thought no one would find it because but Micah found it right away.  In true Micah fashion he asked to split the $100 five ways and he shared with everyone.  What will happen next year???

Koons 2

While Noah was sketching the balloon dog, Micah spent sometime sketching Koons' Rabbit.  Micah really enjoyed sketching the Rabbit.  It was great to observe him looking at all the shapes and interpreting that to the page.  What will Micah sketch next???

Koons

After our time in the Infinity Mirrored Room, we walked around the museum and the boys sketched an installation from Koons.  Noah really enjoyed sketching the balloon dog...  what will he want to sketch next???

Infinity Room

Today we went back to the Broad and got some time in Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room.  It's a mirror lined chamber housing a dazzling and seemingly endless LED light display.  They only allowed two people in at a time so Micah and I went in together.  There was water around us so we had to stand on a small platform.  It was a fantastic experience that I hope I get to experience with Jawsh and Noah... when will we go back again???

Korean School Cooking

 

Micah and Kaitlyn are taking Korean language class together at the church.  Today their class focused on Korean cuisine.  They made breaded chicken and then they got to enjoy eating all together. I really liked this aspect of the class.  What will he learn to cook next time???

Triplets

Today was Twin Day but the boys decided to be Triplets.  J,P, and Noah drew their alter ego characters: Charles, Fred, and Timmy that Jawsh helped design it to go on their shirts.  They had a great time wearing the shirts today.  What will they come up with next year???

Triplets

Micah and his buddies on his team decided to wear their uniforms today for Twin Day.  Don't they look so cute???

Two Sport Athlete

Micah is our sports guy... he's playing basketball and baseball.  It's been busy because he has practice for one sport and then a game for the other. He enjoys playing both sports and it's fun cheering him on.  What sport will he play next???

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???
