Memorial Day Extravaganza

So we decided to spend our Memorial Day weekend traveling to diffferent places to do different activities. First on Friday the 28th we celebrated Masa's 40th birthday!! Then Saturday we drove down towards Monterey but ended up in Watsonville picking Strawberries from Gidzich ranch. We also went to Moss landing for lunch and saw some Sea Lions which Isaac loves to imitiate. On Sunday we went to Aquarium of the bay in SF and of course a trip to Japantown. Then Monday off to the Oakland Zoo to see the elephants, camels and the many other animals Isaac loves to watch. It was a whirlwind of a weekend but tons of fun!

Spring Break in Japan

It was a whirlwind vacation to Japan, but we wanted to see the cherry blossoms. They were beautiful and tons of them lining the streets. He also had a great time with blowing bubbles, playing in the park and hanging out with his cousins.

Isaac at Kennedy Park

Oh it started to be beautiful weather and we decided to make a trip to a nice park in the nearby city or San Lorenzo. They have playgrounds, merry go round, picnic area, petting zoo and a train. Isaac loves the train and the slides. I wish Isaac was born in the sunny time of year because this would be a great park to have a birthday party.

Isaac is a big boy :)

So Isaac has shown us he can sleep pretty well on a futon, through the night. So we decided to take a big jump and move him into his toddler bed. The toddler bed of course was made by the resident carpenter, Masa. We just bought the mesh railing to add to the bed and of course the ELMO comforter, sheets and pillow case. We can't believe our baby is growing up!

Issac and his musical dayview

Isaac loves the Big Bird movie that I believe was done in the early 80's. It has some great songs that he loves to sing along with. He knows every song and lvoes to sing. Now granted they are not done all with correct annunciation, but you can get his rhythm.

Isaac playing as a 2 year old should :)

Isaac is having great fun sliding down slides. This is one of his favorite things to do in the park. And the bigger the slide the better!! Isaac is a growing little boy and learning new words everyday. He is definitely an active 2 year old!!

Nonie/Grandma Rest In Peace

We had some sad news. My grandma passed away on January 26th, just after Isaac's 2nd birthday. She was diagnosed with Lung Cancer a couple of months ago, but she had dementia for 7 years. I gave the eulogy for the rosary and the funeral. It was an honor to be able to represent my family and be able to give a piece of my Nonie to share with everyone. I am adding a clip of my cousin Desta singing a song for Nonie.
