Snow Day! | My Life

Hope all the Colorado friends are staying warm today. I know my wife was super happy to have her first official snow day today. She’s really using this day to rest. In fact, she’s napping with our little pumpkin right now.:)

I personally don’t get a snow day today since I work from home. But I did take a short break to hang out with Noah and Emilee outside. It was fun~! It wasn’t that cold either. But good thing we came in earlier because it’s snowing pretty hard right now.

Well, few photos to remember this very special day.

Be safe and hope you had your hot chocolate by the fireplace already~! If not, you  know what to do!

Tommy’s Tummy | My Life

Last Thursday, I ate something wrong or caught a stomach virus.

I woke up in the morning feeling really sick.

I felt like throwing up.

I pretty much was married to the toilet all day.

I felt so weak and tired.

For those of you that know me, I HATE throwing up.

I’ll rather be sick one more day than throw up.

Well that night, I ended up throwing up.

I think it’s been like over 10 years since I last threw up.

I think I lost 7-8 lbs in two days.

Maybe God knew I needed to shed some weight around my belly.

 

It took me few days to fully recover.

When we went to the Nuggets game on Friday night, I wanted to eat all the yummy food there.

However, I held back b/c I didn’t want to get sick again.

Staci’s nachos looked sooooooo good!

She promised to buy me everything when we return with our family next month.

 

I’ve been going to the acupuncture for my bad Achilles.

Not even sure if it’s helping.

I haven’t really tested out my Achilles yet so hopefully it’s healing.

Today, I told them I was sick last week and they put needles in my tummy area.

I wanted to take photos of it but didn’t have the phone with me.

I had needles in my ankle area, tummy area, arm area and with electric device to send signals to the needles.

So I was all wired up too.

And they lit this burning stuff on some of the needles near my tummy.

Then they had a heat dish against my tummy area.

Then a steam device pumping herb smelling steam to my face area.

In another words, it was a scene to see.

 

Onto a different topic, this past Sunday was my last day of teaching my youth group boys.

Kind of sad.

However, I needed to rest a bit.

It was too much for me especially since I will be more involved with the English Ministry.

When we finished our final lesson last week and closed in prayer, they put a small “Thank You” card in front of me.

When I went home and opened it, they each wrote a small thank you note inside it.

THAT meant the world to me.

My prayer is that they were able to learn through our class time together.

I look forward to the day when they’ll join us in our English Ministry worship so that we can be together again.

 

Since I do not have to go to church so early now, I can now go to church with Staci.

We’ve been driving to church separately but now, we can drive to church together.

That’s going to be really nice.

And Sundays should be a lot shorter for me too.

More energy and focus during our worship time. Yay!

 

Expecting more snow on Thursday and Friday.

Can’t wait.

Family Fun Time | My Life

I don’t like staying in when the weather is great.

And since we’re supposed to have a 60 degree weather today, we decided to head out as a family.

Whenever we drive along the I-25 freeway, Isaiah LOVES seeing the Light Rail pass by.

He shouts, “CHOO CHOO TRAIN!!!”

So we thought we’d surprise him and ride the Light Rail today to downtown.

But wow.

Light Rail isn’t so cheap~!

But seeing the kids enjoy the ride was worth it.

 

In the beginning, it was FREEZING outside.

But once we got to the downtown area, it was nice.

We ate at Maggianos and walked around a bit.

I wish I had more time to take photos of my children.

I’m always out there taking photos of clients but never for my own family.

I did manage to squeeze in few good shots of them.

 

I will also share some photos from our recent zoo visit.

 

Stay healthy everyone (since everybody seems to be sick) and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

(Below) Waiting for the Light Rail to arrive. It was freeeezzzinnggg~!

Once we all got inside the cozy train, everybody was all smiles especially Isaiah~! I LOVE the photo of him looking outside smiling.

Hung out around the Denver Pavilion and ate lunch at Maggianos.

16th Street was definitely fun with lots of weirdos~! Btw, Noah took the photo of me, Emilee, and Isaiah. Not bad huh?

I’ve been dying to get some alley shots of my kids. So I was able to squeeze in few shots of them. Power Ranger poses are pretty hilarious aren’t they?:)

Here’s a family pic of us at 16th Street.

I took the kids to the zoo the other day so here’s a photo summary of our day together.

Duty Calls | My Life

Not much into blogging these days.

I have lots on my mind to share but just not motivated to write about it.

In a nutshell, just been busy especially with parenting duties.

Ever since Staci went back to work full-time, more domestic responsibilities have fallen on my lap.

In a way, it’s a blessing since they all involve our children.

So I am spending more time getting them ready for school, giving rides, and helping with homework.

Anybody want to give me a tutorial on how to prep a little girl’s hair?

I simply suck at doing her hair but she INSISTS that I do it.

What can I say?

She loves her daddy (even though her hair looks all crazy after I touch up on it)

 

Seems like Isaiah loves me too.

In fact, he tells me so.

He hugs me and whispers, “I ruv you daddy~”

Maybe that’s why he won’t let anybody brush his teeth, wash his face, change his diaper, put him down for nap during the day.

So guess who gets to do that.

Yup, that would be muah~

 

When Noah comes home, he is pretty tired.

I mean being at school from 9-4 is no joke.

But guess who gets to motivate him to do his homework?

Muah once again.

It’s good though since it gives me an opportunity to spend time with him.

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher so perhaps this is how God’s telling me to become a teacher.

 

OK~ enough writing.

Wrote more than I wanted to.

Some photos I want to share.

Enjoy~!

 

Below is a photo of Noah. Just yesterday, he was leaning against a glass door and it reminded me of the photo I took of him when he was barely 2. It was actually taken in the hospital when Emilee was just born. I can’t believe how much he’s grown in almost 6 years.

I know Noah and Emilee are very thankful to have each other.:)

Yes yes~ here’s a photo of Isaiah sleeping in my office couch. He takes his nap there every day. He loves being near me and loves falling asleep while listening to music. What can I say? I love being near him too. However, when mommy comes home, I go back to being “daddy who???” Used and abused. That’s so messed up! But that’s OK since he’s kinda cute.:)

Silly Kids | My Life

Kids are funny.

They leave traces of smile everywhere.

This morning, it was left in their new doll house.

 

Let me explain with photos.

(Above) Forget the Barbi dolls. It’s now the Power Ranger house. Looks very cultic to me.

Can’t forget the motorcycle in the dining room.

I always knew those Ninja turtles loved to party~! Ok ok~ I staged this one. Couldn’t help it.

My princess watching some TV in the morning.

Noah being a dork. Must take it after mom since dad’s not dorky at all.:)

 

This is what I love to do.

Capturing memories of my children growing up.

We absolutely love looking back on these photos together.

Thus the reason why I am passionate about photography.
