Our GREAT trip back to our old hometown

This past weekend we had a GREAT time back in Loma Linda where we lived for 7 years. We saw many friends and enjoyed visiting with family. We had a blast singing karaoke with the Matayas, enjoyed eating good food with friends and family and enjoyed a very special birthday celebration for Hannah Kang. It was so good to be back! We're looking forward to coming back sometime soon and showing off Baby Kiara! Please see all the pictures above.

On Sabbath we had the Norton's over for lunch. We had a great afternoon and evening talking, playing, eating, and relaxing. Great times! We also honored Cascade's birthday who turned 3 on February 20th. Happy Birthday, Cascade!!!!

Jeremy made his signature all-natural carrot juice (very popular!) and Jaison particularly loved the salad in a basket of purple cabbage. Lots of color and flavor!

The Mexican casserole was a hit! Barely enough for all of us!

Time to burn off some steam in the jacuzzi. Dads and girls have a blast in the water ...

Princess Lea turns 3 with an PINK ONLY royal party

Last Sunday we were honored to attend Princess Lea's ALL PINK royal party. Pink attire was required and almost all the food and drink was pink. Of course, Lea was dressed in a custom-made pink Princess dress (courtesy of Grandma Ita) and loved entertaining all the guests.

Best looking princesses!

All smiles, having a great time

Lea trying to open one of the gazillion beautiful presents she got. Brianna is trying to help with the tissue and the new toys. It was interesting having so many toddlers together vying to play with the latest new toy. All in all the kids had a great time and so did the adults. Now both Brianna and Lea are 3 years old and wearing 5T and 6T clothes respectively. Crazy how fast they are growing!

Striking Resemblance

Today was VERY special for all of us! We got to see Kiara in action through a 3D ultrasound. We were amazed at what we saw ... a striking resemblance between Brianna and Kiara at about the same time time of gestation.
Here is Brianna at about 30 weeks

The next two pictures are of Kiara at 32 weeks of gestation. You can see several similarities: same round face, forehead, eyes, a slightly different nose and same beautifully full lips. Their cheeks and chins are very similar too. In this picture her hand is touching the top of her forehead. Her head is tilted to the side.

Here you can see a nose closeup and her hand touching her right ear.

We're SO excited about our two princesses looking quite alike. We can hardly wait until Kiara makes her grand entrance around April 11th and we can hold her in our arms.

The Full Set

Bri was SO THRILLED today she was squealing with joy! Outside our front door sat a huge box with a dining set gift from Tio Ken & Tia Crystal.

Daddy promptly came to help put the table together and Bri waited to have lunch so she could have her tofu and peas sitting at her new table. She loves it!

Here's the whole "Step 2" kitchen set. The kitchen, a gift from Ammee & Ampee and the new dining set. We can't wait to have little company over to enjoy it too!!

Jeremy's 90 Day Fitness Challenge

I, Jeremy, have challenged myself to 90 days of extreme work outs to get into the best shape of my life... and as a birthday present to my awesome wife! The P90X system is one of the most extreme home exercise programs available on the market and I've taken their 90 day challenge.

For those who are interested in following my progress, I will be blogging my experience at www.Challenge-90.blogspot.com. If you don't want to see my before pictures then don't go to the blog... (I totally understand. I have to look at my body everyday, which is another reason I'm doing this challenge). The link to my blog is also in the right column under "Interesting Websites".

If you do visit my blog, please leave your comments... I'm going to need your encouragement because this is going to be very challenging.
