BUSY SUMMER Part 20

FOOD!

We rarely go out to eat but that one time we went to Ohana and Milo tried chopsticks.

This is my food post from the summer!

We went back for more bubble waffles throughout the summer♥

We also love MOD pizza!

The one place we can get a Japanese dessert crepe.

So so delicious!

Milo loves to jump off everywhere!

Some cool action shots.

The trio♥

The July 4th weekend

It was one of the sunniest days of this summer so far.

We went out to eat as a family--something we rarely do.

Thankfully they were all well behaved and the adults were able to enjoy food♥

park day with daddy

 I need to catch up on posts...

These are from earlier this month.

Still chilly and we spent a weekday morning at the downtown park with daddy!

Then we went to our local dumpling restaurant and Milo was being so silly♥

He loves his new Yeti shirt!

Happy Birthday Luka! He turns 5

Happy Birthday to my middle child♥♥

Luka turns 5! Where did the time go???

Per Luka's request, a tall heart-shaped chocolate cake with strawberries and sprinkles.

I took the boys out to lunch.

My plan was to then surprise Luka with a trip to the movie theater to see LEGO movie 2 but it was still sold out even a month after release.  We're going to try next weekend!

Thank you everyone for the birthday gifts!

Luka was so happy !!!

Author Ben Clanton book signing !!

I decided to take the big kiddos to a book signing by one of Kai's favorite author...Ben Clanton who wrote the Narwhal and Jellyfish series.

I wasn't surprised to see a full room by the time we got there but we managed to find a nice spot.

Raffle tickets were given out and Kai won a lanyard!

The boys were so patient waiting in line to meet him.

Meeting the author♥

We each brought one of his books so I also got a book signed.

How cool!!

After the book signing, another local author was at the launch party.

Kazu Kibuishi is the author of the "Amulet" graphic novel series, a book James bought for Kai over the holidays!  We picked up book #2 and got it signed as well.

It was a great day!

For being such good/patient boys, I treated them to a delicious lunch outing.

Super delicious dumplings!

Kindergarten Promotion!

Kai had his Kindergarten Promotion on Tuesday and we were invited to a concert!

This was the cutest thing I've ever seen♥

Great job Kai!!

Back in the classroom Milo was dancing around and Kai showed us his cubby.

Waiting for the concert.

There he is!!

A small party afterwards in Kai's classroom.

Milo went to give Kai a hug♥♥♥

I can't believe Kai is the class of 2030!!  

I can't wrap my head around that number...2030!

That's exactly 30 years after I graduated high school...

Anyways, thank you to Kai's teacher for being so great♥

Afterwards we took the kids out to celebrate--at a restaurant!

We rarely eat out so the kids were excited♥

The reason we don't eat out a lot is ...well...because of this guy.

I feel like he's still too young to sit for a long time.

This day too, he was fidgety.  He even managed to spill my drink all over the table...

See??  It's not just a pizza...it's a FLYING pizza...

Congratulations Kai!

You are now officially a First Grader!!!

So proud!
