for my fellow eagles...

Much to the happiness of her Poppa, Molly went to her first football game on Friday. The game was held at the new stadium at my old high school...yes, my fellow eagles, Estancia now can really play HOME games at home...Molly was less concerned about the game and more concerned about looking darling in her hat...

Clone Trooper? Clone Pooper?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

A little boy loved trains...then space...then robots...and now....

Star Wars.

In fact, Star Wars is slowly taking over our house.

Everywhere I look, I am reminded

of this new "phase" in Jack's life...

meet: The Clone Pooper.

Ultimate Fighter

This post has NOTHING to do with our family...but I feel very compelled to share.
I met up with a girlfriend last week. We have known each other since the 2nd grade. While not "best" friends, we were definitely friends...
She just (well, about a month ago) had her baby boy...at 25 weeks.
Talan weighed in at 1 lb. 12 oz, 11.5 inches...
I met up with her at CHOC, where Talan has made amazing progress...he is the ultimate fighter. He is way over 2 pounds now...and has the sweetest little face I have ever seen. Everything about him is little. Everything about him is perfect.
So, if you believe in prayer, consider adding this family to your list. They are so strong...

This post is brought to you by...

the letter O.

Jack made an octopus for the letter O at school.

Molly LOVES Cheerios.

looking innocent...
and then, she sees it out of the corner of her eye...
Yes! She seems to think she has hit the jackpot...only to find...
they are glued down...

as if the fine motor skill of picking

them up isn't hard enough for an 8 month old!

Daddy Did It

(Mommy just took the pictures!)

Bonus

Jack has been playing too many video games.

Today is Labor Day.

A Monday and no school.

"Oh, it's like a bonus round!"

We spent our bonus round at Disneyland...

waiting for the tram
creating a fancy PB&J (our favorite thing to order!)

Molly shows off her shirt...and title of Miss Chievous
The highlight for Jack was the Honda Asimo Show. We had just seen a tv show about this robot...and had no idea they had it at Innoventions (another bonus!)

The highlight for me...This view as I pushed the stroller...

Happy Labor Day!

First Day...

was good! Second day was great! Once Jack came to realize that I would not be having lunch with him (like I did in summer school) things became much better... He told Nana it was "awesome" and that his favorite thing was storytime because "Ms. Joo reads funny stories".

We celebrated our first 2 days with dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe. When we got home, around 7:00, Jack said, "Mom, I know it's not time yet, but I am ready for bed". I didn't argue with that one!
