Double Trouble

I went golfing today to a place I hadn't been to in a while. The lady in the clubhouse remembered me (actually my origami). It wasn't as nice as I remembered. Maybe it's because Bac Tao was still golfing when I last went and that made me a little sad. Anywho, I had a decent round. We had (2) parties today and we say the twins. Sorry I didn't have any photos. I guess it's good and means that we were focused on enjoying the time. Which reminds me. I think you have good emotional intelligence. I hope you develop and keep it.


Uncle Wynn threw a putter in this pond by the way. Sorry I didn't sleep with you last night. You do not hit mommy or anyone unless you're defending yourself okay? Use your emotional intelligence, not just your emotions. Weekends go by so fast. We'll be in Portugal in a week. Crazy right?

Drive In Friday

I thought I posted this. Odd. I guess I'll have to write a new post. It's very tiring to be with you all the time. I know how much you enjoy your time with me, so I have to always keep that in mind. I hope you forgive me when I need a break. I know you didn't ask to be here. Because of that, it's our responsibility to make your life as awesome as possible until you become an adult. Hopefully, by that time, you'll be able to make your own life possible and be happy that you're here.

I enjoy my own life for the most part. It's not easy, but there are many amazing moments. Makes me often wonder whether or not I care about being here. I tell myself that I make more positive than negative in this world, so that makes my life worth it and so I should be here. I hope that you and mommy are part of the positive I make. I also hope that you are more positive than negative in your life too.

Happy Birthday E


Happy Thursday Vinh. Welp, I still can’t insert pictures from my phone. I guess I’ll insert the picture later. I’m caught up enough on work right now, but I can’t stop thinking I could do more. I heard this could be an addiction to stress? I don’t think so, but who knows. 


I hope you grow up to be a good kid. I hope know one takes advantage of you. I hope that if anyone tries, you stand up for yourself. I also hope you don’t take advantage of others. Life is hard to balance, but I pray you find a good one. I can’t wait for Uncle Peter to get back anymore so I guess I’ll take off early today. I wish I could get ahead so I can feel better when we’re on “vacation” next weekend…

Pretty Good

Imagine this is an ambulance. That's what you got at Dollar Tree today. Because you did a good enough job at swimming today. I even called Dollar Tree to make sure they're going to be open for you once we were done.

You even did good in the bath today and I think you ate some blueberries. I wanted to get you strawberries, but we have to finish the fruits we have at home already. Sorry daddy is currently having game night with his friends and can't talk to you, but I am blogging. I'm very proud of you. I hope you can keep this motivation. We are probably going to Kovars tomorrow. Mommy is taking you to school tomorrow too. Please don't make her late. I'll see you in a bit.

Very Good

But not great. Which is totally okay. Just means you can do better and should do better. That's how I would grade your effort today at Kovars. Here's what I designed for your tie dye shirt. We just need to find a shirt to put it on?


Tomorrow you have your 3rd swimming lesson of this session. Sadly, or maybe not, there's only (4) sessions total. You didn't do good the first 2 sessions. I think/hope it's because of the new teacher and your short time away. I hope your enthusiasm and improvement from Kovars will transfer over to swimming tomorrow. I'll try the pep talk and bribe too.

Be Prepared

I didn't take care of my teeth for most of my life. I blame it on being poor growing up and also not being aware when I was in college. I didn't start taking it seriously until I started working. By that time, a lot of damage was done. I spent (5) years filling cavities and fixing the health of my teeth. Then I got braces. For the last few years things were good. But the past finally caught up and I had to have a tooth removed.


This is a good example of why it's better to be prepared and do what you're supposed to do when you're young so that life is better when you're old. It goes the same with eating healthier and exercising and having healthy habits in your youth. We try our best, but at some point we'll need your help too. Remember, it's for you...

Super Sunday - "Beach" Adventure

We made it to the Sac State Aquatic Center. Too bad we had to leave and make our way across the river to the Folsom Lake park and pay $10 for parking. I don't think our State park pass would cover parking...At least you spent an hour there and got in the water. Don't worry, we'll be going to a real beach soon. Wonder how much beach toys will cost there. Don't think we'll be packing toys...


You got some treats today. You went to My Gym. You did okay at church. Except when you cried outside. Good thing it didn't embarrass us. Although, I hope no one thinks we're bad parents. You were just overreacting about not wanting to go to My Gym. You got gummies today. You got avocado drink. You even had some mango drink. Sorry there's no more crunchy squid. It's probably not good to each too much deep fried stuff. Anyhow, it's back to So tomorrow. You wanted to go today lol. We saw Clarissa. Sorry you miss her. But you got other girls at So :)
