Triple Threat

Yesterday Gregory and two of his basketball buddies started going to a dribbling and shooting class at Triple Threat Academy in  San Ramon.  5 hours a day for 4 days they will be mastering their skills.  My little man came home starving and pooped yesterday.  Hopefully he'll be in better shape today.  I told him we'd go for frozen yogurt afterward so I'm sure he'll be peppy at least until we get home! :)

What a DAY!

Started our day bright and early.  Aunty Joey came and picked up the kids at 7:45am so Daddy and I could go to roll sushi for our Summer Festival.  Our shift was from 8:30-12p and I couldn't tell you how many makisushi we rolled.  Then we drove back and picked up the kids from Aunty and Uncle's house and rushed home so i could fix some food and while we waited for Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Frank to come over.  We all drove back to Concord so the kids could make their shifts at 1:55p.  This year both of the kids worked the game booths ~ each having two shifts 2-3 and 4-5p.  The obon was fun.  Ate, chatted and saw basketball friends we haven't seen since the season ended.  We came home around 7p and I was asleep by 8p!  Today I'm having a lounging day...had to run to the market, but other than than, I'm staying put to recover from our crazy week and get ready for another. :\  (when does school start?!)

So Much Excitement for One Weekend!

I almost forgot to mention!  Gregory lost ANOTHER tooth Sunday!  Guess all her wants for his birthday are his TWO FRONT TEETH!

Oh So Fun Weekend!

What a weekend!!  Started at 5:30am on Friday when Daddy and the kids drove me to the Oakland Airport so I could fly out to Ontario to meet my friend Hyeyon for the weekend!  Once I landed, we headed out for VEGAS!!  We had a weekend chock full of fun!  

As soon as we hit Vegas we went to a Korean Spa to hang out for the afternoon.  At the Korean spa you sit in these various hot rooms that make you sweat for different reasons ~ you follow that with a spell in the ice room.  They serve food and have relaxing chairs to just hang out and chat or watch tv.  VERY FUN!!

Then, we went to check into the Aria.  Look at these puffy white clouds all make of REAL FLOWERS!

We went to see this show at Harrahs.  Audience filled with old women and maybe three men.  Show was HILARIOUS!  (Especially since we could relate :\)

Orchids at Aria.  Just amazing.  No dirt, just hanging on chains

Me and my buddy Hyeyon

Just drooling

This is what i ended up having for breakfast...Yogurt parfait and coffee.  Yogurt was REALLY good!

Oh!  Daddy sent me a pic of my baby...He was blue all weekend

Gelato!!  OMG  I had a scoop of Creme brûlée and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten!!

Went to the Aria Spa and spent the morning and most of Saturday afternoon there.  We hung out at the jacuzzi's (different temps), dry sauna, eucalyptus steam room, pool, shio rorm and I can't remember the last one...some Japanese type room with marble heated beds you lay on.  Once we made a couple of rounds doing that we had a very nice massage, took a shower and headed back to our room to get ready for....

ONE!  What a great tribute show to Michael Jackson.  Just. Wonderful!

After show snack ~ Japanese eggplant and shrimp
