Howdy Everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve greeted you all with a new blog. I have a good excuse. Since end of March until now, we have been busy celebrating birthdays! Not even kidding. It’s a blessing though since we’re able to celebrate each other’s birthdays in person. Wish my mom lived nearby too so that we could have celebrated her birthday together. But we just got through celebrating 6 birthdays in like 5-6 weeks. Whew~!

I can’t believe my own children turned 3, 6, and 8. Time surely flies. Makes me want to appreciate my time with them even more because in few years, I’m going to wish they were 3, 6, and 8 once again. I am truly enjoying my children these days. Much more than before. Noah is such a big boy now. Picked up a co-pilot bike so that we can cruise soon together. I am always so touched by how compassionate and thoughtful he is especially when it comes to others. Such a sweet boy. Emilee is so crazy and wild. That’s what I love & hate about her! Of course, there’s a very special bond between a father-daughter. I cherish that so much. And Isaiah… we are definitely loving this stage. NO MORE PEDIASURE! WOO HOO! It saddens me to know that we will enjoy this stage for the last time. He says the funniest things these days too. Today, I farted before heading out to church and he shouted, “Daddy!!! You no go to church~! You go to TOILET!!!” LOL. OK TMI for some of you but still hecka funny to me. We were rolling on the floor. How can you not cherish these moments together.

Since Noah and Emilee’s birthdays are a day apart, we decided to throw a party for them and invite their friends. This is the first time we have actually thrown a party for them. Previous years, we went on a family vacation trip together to celebrate their birthdays elsewhere. This year, we had it at Party On in Parker. Very friendly staff and lots of fun jump houses. Highly recommend it. Originally, we gave them various choices of where they can have their party. However, they chose Party On b/c they were able to invite most friends at this place. That was really touching b/c they really valued their friendship with their peers.

It was really nice to see them having fun with their friends. Meeting their parents was definitely nice too as we promised each other for more play dates together. Wish Staci was home instead of working so that she can have play dates throughout the week. Btw, why does Emilee only have “boy” friends??!! Grrrr~

Well, knowing me, I tried to capture everything that happened for their birthdays. Here are few memorable moments to share. First one is breakfast time at Chick-fil-A. Took the kids there before dropping them off to school on Friday, the 4th. Kids loved it. Second, we had a family dinner that same day at Red Robins as they sang Happy Birthday to Noah and Emilee. Kids LOVE that place! Third, big birthday bash at Party On. Enjoy the photos!!!
