shaun yellow belt Taekwando & Halloween

Mike called him "governer Dudley" so he'd pose for us, God hope he doesnt win....

kids recently went to a Portland Trailblazers home opener game, and were on the JumboTrain TV for all to see their cuteness.

Shaun has belted twice, and is now in the BlackBelt Club for TaekWanDo with a solid yellow belt. He is starting to do "sparring" training and has a Tournament to go to in a few weeks to medal.

Also, the kids are insanely excited for Halloween. That is our holiday for sure!!! Stay tune for more pictures!!!

college dreams

We have big college dreams for our kids, we decided we will help put them thru college/university, but have big dreams about where they will go to school. I have eyes on West coast prestigious universities: Berkley, Stanford, for undergrad but preferably for medical school, we hope our kids will pick the health sciences, as we have. It is such a rewarding way to earn a living and give back.

"I hate today, its not my party, is Shaun's party, I am sad", that's what Zaina announced on her brother's 5th bday party morning, then proceded to sob...so funny. she got over that real soon.

we had multiple parties, oh yes, parties, first party was at Inflatable Kingdom, at 11am for 2 hours of jumping, balloon art, clown, mask making, painting/coloring, bead necklace/bracelet making, and IronMan 2 movie blaring in the place, and pizza, cake, icecream, popcorn, chips...
2nd party was a family dinner for 14 peeps, a NEW cake, and still Ironman theme again.
the next day we went to a pumpkin patch for hours, and had my dad's birthday dinner afterwards.
3rd party will be a school cupcake party on wednedsday....fun but super super exhausting. check it out...
