Weekly playdate at Tyler and Ethan's

We love going over to Auntie Di's house for our Friday lunch playdates.  
Lucas cheering for snack time after the park!  Juice and cookies!
Cayden and Tyler holding hands and leaving the two younger brothers behind.Lucas wandered off at the park and we found him watching boys playing ball...he quickly ran over and claimed their ball.
Tyler and Cayden love the slide!  The other two small ones were busy with the bubbles machine we brought.

Tyler and Cayden finally playing more constructively...the other two smaller ones...just pretending like they are playing with them.

Looking after Lucas

We are so proud of Cayden as she is growing up to becoming such a great big sister and role model for Lucas.  During a picnic playdate with Gabriel at the library she helped Lucas get his ball back from another kid politely.
Cayden saw another little girl had taken Lucas' ball and Lucas was asking for it back.  She ran over and asked her nicely.  "This is his ball...can I have it back?" After realizing she didn't want to return it...Cayden asked her mother. When she got the ball she walked away as far as possible to prevent any more fights. "Just in case she say why you give it to another baby?" she later told me.
Here you go Lukie.  Lucas was so happy and smiling at Cayden. 
Enjoying our little picnic with Gabriel.  Later Daddy came to surprise us and brought some sushi and played a little at the park.

Playing outdoors

Since the weather is finally warming up...we've been outside a lot more and the kids love it!  We love just playing out on our driveway too.
Looking for ants.  Jai Jai...I think I found some here! Come here and see...
You're funny Jai Jai...your blowing them!  I'll want to try too.

Daddy and Mommy took us to Cupertino Library on the weekend and we played outside a little first.

Daddy brought the bubble machine and attracted a lot of kids.  It was a big hit...we stayed outside playing bubbles for over an hour!
Let's play dress up Lukie...wearing all of Popo's knitted outfits.  Here let me help you with your buttons.
Lukie...leave it on!
This is better...no hats!
Playdate at Tyler and Ethan's always so much fun.  Auntie Di thought of a game that would involve all of us so we wouldn't fight over the toys.  Mixing soup!
We were listening attentively for the ingredients for the soup.  Fun game Auntie Di...thank you!

Ebo's birthday- March 5

Aie Jennifer took the day off on her birthday.  After attending the monthly recollection at Charwick Center, she took the kids to play at ChuckECheese because it was raining outside and she promised the kids to play at the park. So sweet of her...the kids had a blast!
Lukie so serious in driving this play car.
They loved the dancing screen...well, more like Cayden loved it.
Lucas finally warmed up and did a few moves himself.

Look at our moves Mama and Ebo!

Fun times outside

Playing outside the Cupertino Library with Nathan and other friends after the Cat in the Hat storytime.
Jai Jai...you have boots..you can go in the puddle.  I'll stay out.
Hmmm...should we or not?  Looks tempting.
Looking Mama...this is the dress I like to wear during dress up time at school.
Playdate at William's...look at all his fun boy toys and look at the big new bed he got!
Cayden and William's clubhouse.  
How come Lukie doesn't need to stay seated for lunch?  he's playing! 
While we were eating lunch Lucas ran off to sit by himself in the play area.  Testing his power.
Like these glasses?  Shopping at Great Mall.
Proper posture at church.  Of course with a snack...again.
