Baba and Grandpa came for a visit

My Mom and Bob came for the weekend.  We had a lot of fun.  My mom helped me out with my cooking class where we taught how to make california rolls and gyoza (Thank you so much for helping me mom!).  We had fun going to places like Japantown and Fisherman's Warf where we ate lots of yummy seafood, watched sea lions bask in the sun and the girls and I got to ride a fun two story carousel.   Miya and Emi are really missing their grandparents already.  Thank you for coming down guys!  We love you!

Sick on Sunday, so lets take pictures!

Emi loves putting temp tattoos on, so we just had to do the sleeve with the mohawk.  

Loving Hubby for an ill Wife

Thursday morning Mason came home from working out at the gym with these beautiful Gerber Daisies (my favorite) just because.  So I just wanted to publicly say Thank you and what an amazing husband I think he is!  I love you Mase!  Thank you for being so great to me and for being an amazing daddy to our girls.  

Bdon Bday and PANIC in San Diego

Well it was, if you can believe it, even better to see panic at the disco in San Diego because the whole family flew out to surprise brendon for his 21st birthday. The venue wasn't the coolest but the show was amazing and the energy was insane. We had tons of fun with family and friends and had a great time celebrating Brendon's birthday. Too bad it all had to end so soon. 

PANIC at the warfield

Panic at the disco was amazing. They sounded great and Brendon was, of course, fantastic. Brendon and Shane were both super nice and Brendon was so kind to hook us up with tickets and back stage passes. After hanging backstage Erika passed out and I didn't even know I was still talking to Brendon when Zach came and yelled "Mason, you better get over here!" There was my wife sitting on a chair with her head hanging and our friend Sharon was standing next to her saying, "she passed out." It was actually really scary but I think it was just low blood sugar/dehydration/fatigue/housemom getting out/and a little contact high. Anyway it was a great night and great to see Bdon do his thang.

Kyla fun day 3 Golden Gate Bridge

After church we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped for a couple pics. Then we drove over to Baker Beach for a picnic, but despite the sun and the waves it was too windy. Then we stopped at the ferry building and Embarcadero center for some snacks before heading home for the day. Miya and Emi were so scared of the birds who wanted to share our snacks.

fun with Kyla day 2 Berkeley

Well we ate lunch at the Turkish Kitchen, where kyla was surprised to find Peter Sellers working behind the counter. Then it was time to watch a DVD at home and then get ready for a baptism at the temple in Oakland. After the baptism (that we barely made it to on time) it was time for a stop at the historic ice cream parlor, Fenton's Creamery for dairy overload. A great day.
