A mango-ful cake for someone’s birthday. :)
Quiet little celebration…
Recital! He was SO nervous but played well — one of Mommy’s faves: Angel Eyes.
Then we swung by an AAPI fair… Fun to meet all the Asian creators.
Mother’s Day GF sweets and drinks.
Panda pride Principal’s award.
Long weekend drinks at the cutest plant cafe!
Then we did a day trip to Laguna. Visited some rescue seals and sea lions at The Pacific Marine Mammal Center.
Walked around the town center and of course couldn’t resist gelato.
Ukelele performance.
Uncle Ji (Mommy’s cousin) visited! This was actually our first time to meet his daughter, Joanna.
They came during May Gray but we got lucky and caught a clear sunset @ Torrey Pines. His wife’s wish for a Cali sunset was granted, yay!
Elias always be climbing around on the side. :)
Sunset picnics can’t be beat… ‘Til next time, Hsiao’s!
The return to Eagle Rock w/ fave hiking buddy J! J’s mom really wanted to do it again too but she wasn’t feeling well that day. Next time!
Rock climbing as usual!
To Mommy’s dismay, we are 2 for 2 coming across a snake on this trail. :(( But at least both times she avoided looking at them.
These two, on the other hand, were ecstatic to spot the slithering wildlife.
Daddy on the rock.
Spot the bovine?
Another J’s bday. :)
Always monkeying around, haha.
First Easter in our new community and our neighbors invited us over for lunch (which ended up to be also dinner, lol). The kids’ table…
Our nice spring spread.
Apparently this streudel is famous in SD.
Right before the egg hunt.
Loot o’eggs!
Some youth vs. adults volleyball… in the to-be-landscaped dirt, haha.
This new malasada/mochi donut place opened so we got a box for the boys and a box for friends.
Mommy attempted making laksa.
And niu rou mein. :D
Science Day at school. We brought J along, though he doesn’t go to the same school anymore. :((
Teeny tiny crab!
Trying out the sailboats they built… E appreciated the sailing theme.
Oculus fun at the library… They had different apps than the one we have it home.
The new neighborhood park is coming along nicely. Obstacle course looks pretty fun!
Blooms of the season…
