Heavy Medals

We made mommy and daddy extremely proud this week when we came home with medals around our necks! It was awards week at school!

The whole student body was gathered inside the school auditorium...students names who achieved high scores on their CST Test were called one at a time. First up was Language Art...our names were called and we both receive medals for being Proficient in Language Arts, including achieving 25pts higher than last year's score.

The next day, we had another awards assembly...this time for Mathematics. Our names were called again for achieving Proficient in Math and achieving a higher score on the test this year!

Mom and dad were super proud of us and took us out to our favorite sushi restaurant to celebrate! It was yummy!

Wonder where we'll put all our medals :)

Bungee Jump...sort of!

Joseph really wanted to try bungee jumping...kid friendly style that is! We were at the Burbank Mall last Saturday to watch "Hansel & Gretel" when we heard a bunch of kids screaming with joy! We look down and what do we see...kids attached to bungee cords jumping high in the air, some even doing flips in the air! Of course, our daring lil' man wanted to try it out right there and then, but we were on our way to the movies.

The following day, while Bri was at her friend's E's house, Joseph got to strap on and he started jumping as high as he could, trying desperately to do a back flip in the air. Dad yelling and laughing in the background, "Tuck your legs in and flip!" Joseph tried and tried, and finally, after several attempts...success! He did a back flip over and over again!

How we ever got him to get off that thing was a miracle! He was having a blast!

Check out how much fun he had!

Catch up time...

Wow! We can't believe it's 2013 already! You know what that means...we get to start many new adventures! Sorry we haven't posted in awhile! Mommy has been very busy preparing for the holidays, working on school stuff for us, and hanging with Lola & Lolo.

Let's see...what did you miss? We are excited that Lola & Lolo will be staying here in the States longer! We love hanging out with them in their new pad!

During our winter break from school, mom, dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle D, Auntie A, and our cousins went to the Ice Kingdom in Long Beach! It was super cold (9 degrees) but lots of fun! We got to go tubing on the ice and slide down an ice sculpture of the Queen Mary! We also got a chance to explore the Queen Mary while we were there! The view of downtown LB was amazing! We even got to pose with Captain Bear :) Check out our photo op with him!

Mommy and daddy have a lot planned for us this year! Brianna will be starting Middle school and Joseph will be in 5th grade. We haven't decided where we are going for our family vacation this year...maybe to Cancun or to the Bahamas. We're keeping our fingers crossed. We are also looking forward to going to Catalina Island in August for our Uncle D & Auntie A's wedding!

We'll keep posting about our adventures, so be sure to visit our blog soon!
