Summer with the Mascardo boys!

Greetings from the Mascardo boys! Hoping you had an awesome summer! As you will see we had a busy summer, especially with the arrival of my Little brother, Micah.

Alright dad, I'll let you take a picture with me. I think my dad is a little jealous with all the attention, me and Micah are getting, so I thought it would make his day and let him take at least one picture with me.

Now don't get the wrong idea about these pictures, we can't help if our parents love taking pictures of us.

Hey Micah, wake up! Dad is telling us one of his childhood stories again.

Hey Big Bro', I know we're taking a picture and all, but haven't you heard about personal space! I'd really like to have some right now.

I love my Tatay (Grandpa), he loves to spoil me. I can't wait to go to his house again, so I can eat some ice cream, cookies, candy....

Happy Birthday, Stephen-Fua! Thanks for allowing me and Michael to crash your 2nd Birthday Party.

Who said Birthday Party hats aren't cool? Especially if they're Thomas the Train Birthday Party hats.

No way, it's your birthday Stephen-Fua and we get a present too. Man...you're too cool. You and your mom and dad Rock!

Me and Auntie Annie on her wedding day, doesn't she look beautiful.

Dad, I don't think that's a horse, it looks like a zebra to me.

Dad, don't you love it when I hang on to your forehead with my sweaty hands in 90 degree summer weather. You gotta love it.

Me and mom trying to locate some of the gorillas and monkeys. Contrary to popular belief and evolution, I am in now way related to these gorillas and monkeys. God said I am wonderfully made in His image.

It's me and my cousin, Kuya Tony. He is really big Dodger fan, maybe one day, he'll take me to one of their games.

Auntie Chris and Uncle Kimo, aren't they a cute couple after all of these years.

Here we are celebrating "Kat's" Birthday at Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. If you haven't eaten on the terrace, you got to try it, it's very cool up there.

Micah is here!

Family and Friends, I'd like to present to you my little brother, Micah Nicolas Mascardo. It's ok You can applaud...Micah made his arrival on Wednesday, July 1st, 2009. He weighed in at 8 pounds and 1 ounce, please note I was 2 ounces heavier, and he was 20 inches tall, also note I was 1/2 inch taller, but hey who's counting. I'm just glad he's here and I'm sure you are too.

You know when I first heard about mom and dad having another baby in the house, I thought that would be such a cool thing, but the more I talked to my friends they told me that it was over, they said I would have to share everything...and I said everything...and they said "Yeah, everything."

You mean that I would not be the only center of attention, that I would have to share the limelight with someone else...and they said yes. Wow, talk about a heavy blow to my ego, not that I have one yet, or do I? Anyway, my friends did say that I would learn to live with it, that is after the intial shock. You know what it's not to bad, I guess God knew I needed a little brother to play with. Thanks God for always looking out for me.

Here's Dr. Park (on the left) the same doctor who delivered me. He's such a cool guy, he's praying about talking his family on a mission trip to Peru next summer. We'll keep that in prayer Dr. Park.

You know what people should actually wait a couple of days before they take pictures, I mean think about you're in your mom's womb for over 9 months and as soon as you get out you're all red and swollen and then the nurse puts some oily ointment in your eyes. I feel you on this one Micah. My arrival day pictures don't look any better.

Hey Micah, I gotta be honest there is one thing that was difficult for me to share with you and it's this blog, for so long it's been called the "Whats up with J.J." blog, but now it's gonna be called the "What's up with J.J. and Micah" blog. Takes some getting used to, but no hard feelings, but either way, Micah, I still love you man.

Here's mom before Micah

Here's mom after Micah

Micah, Auntie Suzie and Uncle Frank. Pray for them they're headed out to the mission field in Montebelluna, Italy. Eat some pasta for us.
