Humerous moment...

There are so many moments that are just funny that I wish I had a picture of so I can share. This is one moment this morning where the mom happen to walk in at the right time.

Jason woke up early as usual, and after exhausting all the things that can keep him occupied while the rest of the house sleep. I gave him my iPhone with Baby Einstein playing. Since he's now quiet and I couldn't get back to sleep...I pulled out the iPad to catch up on the day's tech news. At one point in time, I peeked out from my Google Reader to realize the humorous nature of this moment. My photographer's eye allowed me to envision the look of the scene from a 3rd party's perspective. Luckily a 3rd party peeked into the office at the right time to capture the moment for posterity.

Just had to share.

p.s. Reminds me of the first day I got the iPad. I brought it home and Terrence, the 3yr old saw it and exclaimed with excitement..."Biiiiiggg Phonnneee!" as he pointed to the iPad. Given the criticism of many, dismissing the iPad as a big iPhone or iPod Touch, I couldn't help but laugh and give the little booger a huge hug. Well, at least I can say the short sightedness of some of the the iPad's critics are inline with the thinking of a 3yr old. LOL

Contently playing...

There's nothing I enjoy more than my kid contently playing by themself. Here, Jason just woke up from his afternoon nap and is contently playing in my office while I finish up some work. It's these moments that make the sometimes blurry line between work life and home life in a home office wholly acceptable. :)

Definitely my boy. J likes anything soft and fluffy. Here, he found the pillow shortly after waking up and goes up to it and plop his face down on it. It's so cute to watch because his butt is usually sticking up in the air and he repeats the steps multiple times. Joy as a father is when you witness, see something the little one does and want so much to be able to share that moment with others. I could only grab a few shots from the camera. There are so many times I wish I can share video. These moments are waaay to fleeting.

His cousin Calvin loves Thomas and Friends. J is following that lead and was content playing on his own. So cute so I had to snap a few photos.

When he sees Thomas on TV, he goes "choo choo." You can see him doing that in the second image. I think he learn that from his cousin.

Thomas is the number 1 train. According to the show, he's the "cheeky" one. Whatever that means.

Can you believe this little on is 17months already? My, how time flies.

Bus Ride...

Look at Terrence, all grown up and on his first bus ride to school. How my little 3yr old have grown. Julie said he got so excited when he was on the bus.

This morning, I woke up extra early and as I was heading out the door, I paused by Terrence's room to hear him talking to himself and playing with his Buzz Lightyear in bed. It was so cute, I wanted to go in there and give him a huge hug. But we parents know better to leave a preoccupied kid alone. Especially when it's only 6AM. Hopefully that wise move on my part bought his mom some extra sleep.

Early Morning in Pacific Beach

We were out of the house early this morning to try an catch the Korean Taco truck Tabe BBQ while it was featured on the local morning TV. We weren't able to find the truck, but we had a good time checking out the surf, hanging out and getting our feet wet. Just a little wet. ;)

Here's some photos from this morning.

Just perfect weather. Not too hot nor too cold.

I love watching my little one play.

Beneath the pier is pretty cool too. Good location to play away from the sun.

Splish, Splash. :)

Easter Egg Hunt with Friends

Every year, the community HOA host an Easter Egg Hunt for the neighborhood kids. We decided our boys were old enough to join in on the fun. Little did I know how popular this event is in recent years.

But we had a fun time nonetheless, allowing the kids to participate and the adults to enjoy the fun through the kid's eyes. Here are some quick photos from last Saturday.

Coach Susan with some last words of advice. Apparently they simulated the egg hunt by placing colorful balls at home so the kids can get used to picking them up and dropping them in the basket.

Fun sequence of lil.benjamin.

These two were born on the same day.

The goods.

Love the basket thief.

My favorite image.

Always fun to watch the kids be kids.

Group shot, minus Denny who took the photo.

It's just about impossible to get a group shot with everyone looking at the camera. But does it matter? This is still a slice of life, captured forever.

Susan stopped by to join the fun before heading up to Diamond Bar.

Terrence likes to hide behind whatever he's carrying.

Phong, lil.Charles and Jason.

Some quick family shots to commemorate the day.
