Outing

September 29, 2015 No Comments

The girls were getting squirrely so we took them out for a walk to the playground.

They got to run free around the ballpark before getting to the playground.

At the playground, Janie did a better job with sharing and gave Alice a bucket and shovel to play with. She also helped her fill her bucket.

It was really sunny out there this morning and it was a perfect opportunity for Peanut to try out the hat that Alice passed down to him.

It’s a little big but it certainly keeps the sun out of his eyes.

Mmm…tasty hand.

On the walk home, the girls held hands. This is always so cute.

Ad Hoc

September 28, 2015 No Comments

To celebrate Mama and Uncle Johny’s birthdays, we had dinner at Ad Hoc.

Janie took a nap in the car before dinner and was starving so she got started while we perused the menu.

Peanut also woke up hungry and we were prepared for our chunky monkey!

Afterward, we hung out in the carrier while the family ate dinner. What a good boy!

We all had a delicious meal and because he did such a good job eating her dinner, Janie got a tasty chocolate mousse for dessert.

Peanut didn’t get any dessert but instead hung out on Yai’s lap.

What a fun birthday dinner for everyone!!

family, hello

The rest of the Chiembanchong family arrived in SF this morning and Ta finally got to meet and hold his grandson.

Peanut also met Uncle Johnny, Auntie Joy, and cousin Alice.

Oh, happy day!

nap and dinner

May 24, 2015 No Comments

Before dinner, Alice and Janie tried to take a nap but Uncle Johnny was the only one who got any Zs.

So on the way to dinner, she fell asleep and then slept through all of dinner.

However, she woke up in time for dessert at Cookies and Cream.

She was scared of the dry ice steam in the store but really enjoyed her share of Cinnamon Crunch ice cream.

When we got back to Yai’s house, Janie had some of the leftover jook that we took home from lunch. She must have made it look really good because Alice wanted some too.

When it got dark outside, we cracked open the light sticks and the girls had fun waving them around in the backyard and then running around in the dark hallway inside the house.

Disneyland Morning

May 23, 2015 No Comments

This morning, Janie went to Disneyland with Auntie Joy, Uncle Johnny, Alice, and Ta.

They all piled into the car together and got there in time for their opening.

It’s the first weekend of the Disneyland 60th Anniversary Celebration and Janie was lucky enough to go!

Once they got into the park, their first stop was the Baby Care Center for a potty break.

The kids got stickers for going potty!

The girls held hands as they walked through Tomorrowland and Alice went for a spin.

Here they are at the Jedi Training Academy.

The first ride they went on was the Finding Nemo Submarine ride. Right away, she spotted the seagulls outside saying, “Mine! Mine! Mine!”.

Initially, she was scared to go in the submarine but did much better this time around compared to when she was 8 months old and screaming when the lights went out.

The next ride was “It’s a Small World” and the girls scored a front-row seat on the boat.

Janie and Ta took a picture together in front of the Walt & Mickey statue at the hub of the park.

Janie got a snack around late morning while Alice took a cat nap.

When given the choice of the carousel or Dumbo, Janie chose to ride Dumbo.

After a 30-minute wait, they scored a blue Dumbo and Janie used the joystick to make it go up and down.

Janie had a fun time this morning at the “Happiest Place on Earth”. Thanks for taking me, Family!!!

After breakfast, we had plans to go to the zoo. We took a nice walk down Kalakaua but once we arrived at the zoo, both kids were knocked out. So, we hung out at the beach while the slept instead. Janie slept for almost 2 hours!!

One the kids woke up, we all headed out to the beach for some sand and sun.

Janie didn’t want to go swimming in the water with Daddy but she was brave enough to sit in the waves with Mommy.

She had a good time digging a trench with Uncle Johnny and watching the waves wash water into the holes.

Later in the afternoon, the tide was coming up pretty high and flooded our campsite. Janie looked pretty worried.

At that point, we packed up and headed to the pool where the two cousins were up to no good, as usual.

Breakfast!!

March 8, 2015 No Comments

We were all up early this morning and met up at the infinity pool.

Then we all walked down to Eggs ‘n Things for a big pancake and waffle breakfast.

There’s always a wait but the kids stayed entertained with each other.

This is Janie trying to make the “shaka” sign with Uncle Johnny.

We brought crayons and Alice tried to join in.

Auntie Joy also brought lots of stickers, which kept them occupied for a good part of the wait too.

Once we were seated, the server had more crayons and a coloring page. Janie and Daddy went to work on their individual coloring pages.

Once the food came, Janie wanted to try all the different syrups and rolled up her pancake and called it a “pancake tortilla”.

She also got over her fear of pineapples. She had been avoiding pineapple ever since she ate an entire container of them, which made her tongue sting. After today, she began saying “pineapples don’t hurt my tongue anymore”.

Farmer’s Market

March 7, 2015 No Comments

This morning, we were all up early and Janie got some hammock time with Daddy before leaving for the day.

We went to the Farmer’s Market at KCC for breakfast and Janie scored a free apple banana from the nice man at the Thai fruit stand.

Then she got a bunch of longan fruit from Yai and did a good job eating around the seed in the middle.

Daddy also took her around to get some free samples of kettle corn.

When she got tired, she sat in Alice’s stroller since Alice wasn’t using it anyway.

Sunrise and Spam

This morning Janie and Mommy woke up super early (2-hour difference in Hawaii). We strolled along the water while the moon was still out and headed out to the beach.
