All three ♥♥♥

(Well...Kai called me out...Apparently I take too many pictures... )

Another photo session with ALL three boys...

It kind of worked out but I had to take A LOT of photos to get some good shots.

It's hard getting all three to make a good face at once.

Swim Class - Session 2 / Week 1

Kai is in the Preschool II swim class right now...it's definitely a tougher class.

The teacher suggested we bring goggles for him so he can get used to getting water on his face.

And again, we're not getting lucky with the summer weather :(

We had one sunny day...the other days were cloudy and chilly.

Good thing the pool is heated!

Holding hands ♥

Kai and Luka holding hands...it's just so sweet!

And one day, Milo will be joining them♥

Luka's Tower

A new kind of Tsum Tsum tower!

Luka got creative and carefully built his own tower with his favorite toys!

That's some good balancing skills!

Bowling date with Kai and Auntie Erika ♥

We took Kai to his first bowling ever!

Bumper lanes of course...!

Bowling shoes...not very cute. Ahahaha

We also took some Japanese 'Purikura' pictures.

This was a lot of fun.

 

And Kai really loved the Air Hockey games.

They  had 3 different tables and we tried them all!

Milo ♥

Getting chubby and his hair is growing!

You can see it curling out the back, sort of...

I can't believe he will be 6 months this month!

Moving on up...!

These are from Kai's last week of his first level swim class.

Luckily we got a few sunny days (finally).

We got report cards on Thursday and YAY! Kai passed his first class!

We decided to enroll him in the next level which starts next week.

Hopefully he continues to enjoy it♥

Luka plays at the playground while Kai is in class.

I bought some goggles the other day so we can practice diving and dunking our heads in the water.

I think it helped Kai feel better about going under.

tsum tsum love !

It's not just me!

Luka loves my Tsum Tsums--maybe even more than I do!

Every day he tells me "Let's play Zoom Zoom Mommy! Let's play on the floor!"

His favorites are Tigger and Goofy.

And when you play hard, this happens...

How incredible is this!

He's napping in THIS position.

I moved him after I took pictures so he wouldn't fall.

Zoo Day !

We visited our local zoo on Sunday♥

It was HOT!

Last time we visited, Luka was just born.

Now he can enjoy feeding the animals.

They had fun!

近所の動物園に行ってきました。

近くで、小さくてきれいな動物園。

ルカが赤ちゃん以来。今回は動物達にエサをあげました！

They wore their Zootopia shirts!

二人そろって「ズートピア」のTシャツ。

At the top of the zoo, you can get a great view!

And if you go even higher, you can see Lake Sam.

It's gorgeous!  Lots of boats were out.

More swim practice ♥

This time I brought my 'good camera' instead of my outdated 'phone camera', so the quality is a bit better.  We've had super hot days back in May but we have been unlucky this first week of swim class...nothing but clouds. (And today we had some rain!) Poor kids are freezing when they get out of the pool!

Daddy takes long lunches to come out and see Kai swim!

And it helps me out too...

Next week is the last week for this 'session'.  I decided to continue Kai with the swim classes!

I'm just so happy he fell in love with it♥ 

Now seriously, let's get some sun!!

Tsum Tsums ♥

Anyone else familiar with Tsum Tsums?

Tsum tsum comes from the Japanese word 'tsumu', which means to 'stack'.

Well, Disney has been/is releasing their entire Disney world characters as a tsum and I'm obsessed...

They started out with super cute plush tsum tsum dolls but I don't have space for that.

These vinyl tsum tsums though...well, they are smaller, cute, cheaper and the kids love to play with it too! 

最近ママはディズニーの「ツムツム」にはまってます。

出来れば全部集めたいな～。

ルカも気に入ったみたいで、一緒に遊んでます。

ディズニーキャラクターの名前とかも覚えてきたよ。

Luka is learning all the Disney character's names!  And he loves to line them up and stack them..just as they are meant to be! Also, instead of 'tsum tsum' he calls them 'zoom zoom'.

"Mommy, look at my 'zoom zoom' tower."

ルカが言うには、ツムツムじゃなくてズムズムらしいです。

これあは「ズムズム」のタワー。

"Mommy, 'zoom zoom' Tigger and Goofy is taking a nap,"

そしてこれは「ズムズム」が昼寝をしているところだそうです。

My kitchen buddy

Sometimes when Kai and Luka are napping together, Milo and I will hang out in the kitchen.

He's a good sitter!

Kai starts swim class !

I signed Kai up for swim class this summer.

This is the (age) 3-5 class and it's a total beginner class...perfect!

Each class is 30 minutes and each session is 2 weeks long.

I was worried at first if he would even participate...and just as I predicted, he was shy and refused to go in.  I had to slowly ease him into it.  Once he got in the water, he was on his own and fully enjoyed it!  I was originally just going to try only one session...but if he really likes this, then I might sign him up for the next courses too, all throughout the summer!

今年の夏は水泳クラス！

カイを入れてみました。

最初はシャイで嫌がってたけど、ちゃんと一人で入って、楽しんでたよ！

Also, I didn't bring my 'good camera' so the video quality is horrible...I really need to get a newer phone.

(Great) Grandma ♥

♥♥

We love you and miss you so much.

So so much...
