A day at the park

Micah and Julia LOVE going to the park, and we try to go as often as possible. Yesterday (March 9th), we spent about 4 hours playing at the Wood Ranch Park, here in Simi Valley. It is a beautiful park that has it all! It has 2 BIG playgrounds with tons of slides, climbers and swings, it also has a lot of open space to run and play in and ride bikes/scooters. Both Micah and Julia LOVE this park. Micah's favorite things to do are go down the big slides and swing and Julia loves to swing, and is working up the courage to go down the bigger slides.

Medieval fair at the Reagan Library

On Sunday (March 8th) Kenji and I took Micah and Julia to the Medieval Fair at the Ronald Reagan Library here in Simi Valley. We all had a great time! There were a lot of activities for the children; Micah really enjoyed the archery and both Micah and Julia really enjoyed the potatoe toss. There was also a joust that Micah really liked watching, and Julia was so excited to see the horses! Micah was also excited that they had the giant turkey legs, and he ate almost an entire one! The Reagan Library is beautiful and had so much open space for the children to run around in. We are planning to go again next weekend and take Micah into the actual museum to see Airforce 1.

Julia's Birthday Party!

On March 1st., my mom had a birthday party for Nichole (who's birthday is March 1st.) and for Julia (Birthday March 2nd) at her house. Julia turned 2 years old!! She had a great time playing with her cousins, opening presents and of course eating cake!!

Julia's birthday weekend with Abuela and Abuelo!

The weekend of Julia's 2nd birthday (Feb. 28th & Mar. 1st.), Kenji's parents came down to visit from San Jose. It had been a couple of months since we have seen them, so we were all excited! It was a great weekend!

They arrived Saturday morning and the kids started off by opening presents from their Abuela and Abuelo. Julia got an adorable outfit and a play checkbook (She LOVES writing in checkbooks, so it was the perfect gift!) and Micah got a puzzle book and a paper airplane book, which he LOVES! He has been playing with them non-stop! After the gifts, we had a nice lunch, followed by Fo-Fo Figgilys (an indoor playcenter). The kids LOVE it there, and were SO excited Abuela and Abuelo were taking them. They played for hours, and Abuelo even went into the playcenter with Micah to run around!! After the playcenter, we went to dinner with Kenji's parents and my mom and Devon at the Cheescake Factory.

On Sunday, we met Kenji's parents at their hotel for a nice breakfast. After breakfast, Silvia and Shuji had to head back home since it is such a long drive.

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun activities. Micah and Julia were THRILLED to spend time with their Abuela and Abuelo and had so much fun!

Micah goes to the dentist

Today (2/24/09) Micah had his very first dentist appointment for a cleaning! He had never been before, so I wasn't sure how he was going to do, but he did GREAT! He let the dentist take X-rays with no problem, and he was so still and well behaved while they were cleaning his teeth. We are glad to report no cavaties!

Micah and Matthew!

Every couple weeks or so, Micah's friend Matthew comes over to play with him. They have such a great time together while Matthew is here. They love to run around and play or sit down together to watch a show.
