Trip to Paradise (Hawaii)

Mom and dad took us to visit paradise. We went to the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. Mom and dad had a lot of activities planned for us. First we went to visit the Polynesian Center, where we learned about the different islands of Polynesia. We even learned how to hula and use the poi balls. Later that evening, we went to our first luao where we got to eat lots of yummy food. Then we were off to watch the fire show. That was awesome.

During our trip, we also went on a boat and submarine ride. The sub went down 107 feet under water. That was cool. We saw sea turtles, sting rays, jelly fishes, and lots of other sea creatures. One of our favorite was when we went snorkeling at the bay. We were able to get real close to the fish and other sea creatures. It was amazing to see them under water.


Our trip to paradise was awesome. Until next time, ALOHA!

Creativity Mode

We just got back from our school Open House. This was our chance to show off what we've learned and some of the things we are working on at school. Check out some of the creative artwork we made!

Below is an artwork that Joseph did for his 2nd Grade Class. It's a picture of a contemporary house.


Below is a Brianna's interpretation of Picasso painting. It's a self portrait of her.


Here is another artwork by Brianna. It's an interpretation of Monet's Garden.


We are learning so much at school. We can't wait to post more of our artwork soon. Maybe someday, we'll be famous like Monet and Picasso. =)

Happy 9th Birthday Brianna

Happy 9th Birthday Brianna!

We celebrated Brianna's 9th birthday one day early, so that our family can join us. This year's theme was a Masquerade Party, so mommy and daddy bought different masks as party favors. They also bought different colored beads and party blowers. Everyone put their mask on at the party. It was so much fun seeing everyone wear their mask. It was just like a real masquerade ball, only not as grand.


Mommy and daddy ordered so much food. My favorite was the Egg flower soup and the Crispy Pork Chop. For desert, mommy special ordered a 2-tier cake. It was green and purple, and the decorations fit-in perfectly with our masquerade theme. The top tier was made of fresh strawberries and the second tier was a marbled chocolate. Yummy!


Tomorrow, mommy is suppose to take me to get a mani-pedi. I can't wait to get pampered.

We hope everyone enjoyed all the good food and had fun at the masquerade party! Thank you for all the presents!

Brianna's Pre 9th Birthday Celebration

Our family decided to celebrate Brianna's 9th Birthday early, by going to Universal Studios Hollywood with some of our family. This was the first time we have been here, so we were excited about our trip. Grandma, Granpa, Uncle Danny, Auntie Annie, and our cousins Liam, Kali, and Mackenzie joined us on our adventure.

Our first ride was the Tram Tour...it was such a long line, but it was worth it! Our favorite part was the King Kong tour! That was so cool and scary at the same time. We also rode Jurassic Park. This was a wet ride and was lots of fun. The line was short for this ride, so we rode it twice. Uncle Danny and Auntie Annie bought everyone a poncho so we can stay dry. We all looked like little chicks in our yellow poncho. Another favorite ride was "The Mummy Ride." Joseph didn't really like this ride, because it was a roller coaster.

Check out Joseph in his new motorcycle.

Here's a picture of the girls. All we need now are the leather jackets.

While walking around the park, we came across this stage, so mom decided to take a picture of us. Check us out, as we play some rock n' roll music. Mom called our band "The Chicklets!"

We can't wait to go back again, so we can experience the other rides. Good thing mom and dad bought an Annual Pass, so we can go again and again, for a whole year. Stay tuned for more pictures and more fun.
