Los Tres Amigos

Hey look...it's me and the boys ... Michael, Stephen Fua and me. As you can tell, our parent's set this up, we didn't plan on taking this picture. I'm hoping as we grow up we don't get into too much trouble. We need to pray for the children's ministry, because soon and very soon, we'll be invading every Sunday morning.


PICTURES WITH ALL OF THE "PEEPS" AT CCSB...One of the great things God has blessed me with at church is people. And lots of people, every time I go to church people just want to take their picture with me. It's like I'm a celebrity or something. There is so much paparizzi, even at church. Well, here are some recent pictures of Uncle Jesse, Uncle David, Uncle Charlie, Auntie Luz, Grandma Fofoa, Grandma Julie and Auntie Gidget.

Car Seats, Shots, Nursery time, Disneyland & Dad's Birthday

I'm back...Wow, I can't believe it's almost Christmas. This past month since Thanksgiving has been pretty busy for us. So much has been going on, with all that I've been going to a whole lot of different places. So I have had to really learn how to remain entertained in a car seat. As you can see this one moment that I actually enjoyed sitting in the car seat. The reason why was Grandma Nancy was trying to make me laugh.

4 SHOTS & THE DOCTOR

Boy, this past month was filled with some interesting moments. This past month, I had to go for my 2 month check-up at Doctor Kato's office, which wasn't too bad. That was until the nurse pulled out a big needle, I thought to myself, "What are they going to do with that "big" needle?" then I realized it had my name written all over it. The nurse gave me 4 shots, the first one wasn't too bad, but the rest, man did it hurt! You would think that they would be nice and space them out over a period of time, but to have 4 shots at the same time. The only cool thing was that they gave me 2 Bugs Bunny band-aids.

NURSERY ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

One of the firsts this month was going to nursery at Calvary Chapel South Bay. This was my first time being at church without mom or dad. You see dad teaches the Bridge, which is the College Age/ Young Adult group at churcn on Friday nights. And it's been a while since mom heard him share about the Bible. So mom and dad decided it would be a good idea to get me used to being in the nursery. Mom said I was going to be in good hands, and she was right Auntie Denise and Auntie Olympia took real good care of me. As you can see, Auntie Olympia is reading a book to me. I can't wait until I get to go again.

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL...

As you can see from the picture below, I went to Disneyland for the first time on Monday, December 3. From what I remember it was fun, at least for the parts that I was awake. Mom and Dad have this tradition, well, it's not really a tradition yet, because they just started it last year. Anyway, the tradition is that they go to Disneyland during the Christmas season and buy an ornament for the Christmas tree.

Dad wanted my first time to be real cool, so he wanted me to go on "It's a small world", and as we started to get in line, the Disneyland people said they were shutting it down...Bummer. Not only that the only line Dad waited in was the line to take his and mom's picture for the annual pass...Another Bummer...it's ok though, Dad said, Disneyland is still the happiest place on earth. I don't know if you can tell but this particular time, Dad wasn't feeling too good, as you can probably see from the picture, he would say, he looked "tore up from the floor up", so we had to cut our trip short,

"HANDY" HANDS

Another discovery I made during this time frame was I discovered that I have "hands" and you know what they come in handy, for example when I'm hungry, and mom is busy at the moment I can take my "handy dandy" hands and suck on them. And you know what they don't taste too bad, you should try it next time you're hungry. I also suck on my hands anytime that I need to be comforted. God is so smart to give us hands to suck on.

DAD'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

On Saturday, December 1, Mom had a Birthday dinner for dad. His actual birthday was on December 5th. It was his 3?th Birthday. If I tell you how old he is, he may be a bit upset, so I'll let you guess. Anyway, mom invited quite a few people. We went to Korean BBQ, it was cool, everybody got to cook their meat on the grill. And then we went to our house and watched, one of dad's favorites "Charlie Brown Christmas". It was my first time watching it, pretty good cartoon. I just don't understand why everybody gets mad at Charlie Brown, my best part was when Linus says "Lights, please" and he starts to recited the Christmas Story from the book of Luke chapter 2. Anyway, here are some pictures of that night. If I don't see you before Christmas, have a great time with your family and friends.

THANKSGIVING FIRSTS

Hello Everybody! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and you didn't eat too much turkey or pumpkin pie. As for me, for my 1st Thanksgiving, I had a great time. On Thursday, November 22, we went to Nanay and Tatay's house, that's what I call dad's mom and dad. As you can tell from the pictures, I got a little spoiled from everyone wanting to hold me. I guess they just can't put me down.

Just to give you a break: Here's a picture of mom and dad...don't they look happy together? Now everybody say, aaaaahhhhh...

On Friday, November 24, we went to Uncle Mike's and Auntie Lil's house in Lake Forest, which is in Orange County for all of you, who live out of state. I got to hang out with my cousin, Maddy, she's 2 1/2 years old, Isabella, she's just ahead of me, she's 4 months old and Riley, she's going to be 3 years old. It was cool and all, but it got kinda boring hanging out with a bunch of girls. My only escape was watching the Laker game, I think I'm going to be a diehard Laker fan like my Tatay and Uncle Vu. By the way, to all my uncles, (Vu, Mike, Mark, Kimo, Ron, Randy) and aunties (Lil, Michelle, Christine, Kat, Christina) I'm waiting for all my boy cousin's, my age...hurry up...I need some boys to hang with.

Here's my cousin, Isabella and me, I'm the one on the right.

Here's me and my Uncle Mike,

he's the expert when it comes to "prime rib"

Another Thanksgiving Firsts is that I got my "first" cold. That's right, on Saturday, I came down with a cold, some coughing and congestion. Thanks to mom's TLC (tender loving care), I'm feeling a whole lot better.

One thing before I go, a tradition that mom and dad have for thanksgiving is to share what you're thankful for, you probably do this with your family also. But since this is my first Thanksgiving, I want to say Thank you to God for allowing me to be here. I Thank God for mom and dad, for grandma Nancy and grandpa Kim, for Nanay and Tatay, for Uncle Mike, Auntie Lil, Uncle Vu, Auntie Michelle, Uncle Mark, Auntie Christine and Uncle Kimo. I thank God for my cousins, Maddy, Isabella, Riley, Jessica and Anthony, who I haven't met yet. Well that's it for now.

2nd Month Update: Faces and Places

Mom and Dad can't believe it, I turned 2 months old on Saturday, November 17... I guess time flies when you're having fun. As you can see, I've been having fun, this was my costume for the Harvestfest. Can you guess what kind of animal I'm trying to be...you're right, a penguin.

On Wednesday, October 31, mom and dad took me to the Harvestfest, it's an alternative to Halloween, where our church parking lot is tranformed to a festival, with food, music, games and lots of candy. Mom and Dad said I was too young to eat any candy, maybe next year.

There has been many things going on in our lives over the past month, especially with my dad, he was gone on two mission trips this month, one to American Samoa and the other to Mexico. He called almost everyday he was away, it was real good to hear his voice. Man, I missed him. Mom and I were so glad to have him back home. But I'm glad he leaves for a good reason and that's to help other people get close to Jesus.

Here's a picture with me and dad,

before he left for American Samoa.

As you can see, mom and dad have been taking a lot of pictures of me again, sometimes I feel like posing for the camera and other times, I'm just not in the mood as you will be able to see.

Over the past month, I was able to visit quite a few people as you will be able to see. I pretty much go everywhere now, I've been to Target with Dad, to Calvary Chapel Golden Springs with mom, and I've been able to visit both of my grandparents. As you can tell, I have a pretty active life. I don't stay home too often. Well if I don't get to see you before Thursday, have a great Thanksgiving with your family and don't eat too much.
