Cousin Lucas Visit

Cousin Lucas and Auntie Annie visited us while they were out in SoCal visitin family and friends. We had a great time seeing Lucas and Khloe Mai play around at our house. They are getting so big! We also met them up in Murrieta at Annie's sister's house and we had a great time hanging out in their hot tub and pool. Lucas and KM also had a bath together and they were awesome! They always seemed to want to climb on top of each other and play with whatever the other one was playing with, typical cousins!

Grandma and Grandpa visit

The other weekend we headed up to Torrance to see grandma and grandpa. Khloe Mai had a fun time playing with cousin Brandon and Uncle Nam. We took her to the park next to her house and she had fun on the swing and slides. The pics below are of that weekend plus some other pics from this month which include a BBQ at her daycare and some house pics and videos.

San Francisco!

The past weekend we took off from San Diego on Thursday night to spend the weekend in San Francisco. Khloe Mai loved the gadgets in the Virgin America planes and kept on hassling the poor girls behind us with her peek-a-boo games. My college buddy Tom picked us up from SFO and his girlfriend Lisa was kind enough to let us take over her apartment near Fisherman's warf. It was great hanging out with Tom and Lisa again and their two pugs, Peyton and Fuji. We were also able to all go out and meet up with our old roommate Pete and his new girl Anna for some Thai food at Basil Thai Friday night.

Saturday we all went to the the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and had lunch. The farmers market there is pretty insane and they definitely have a lot of great food. Tom and Lisa also took us for some sightseeing and we went to the top of the Twin Peaks and were able to have some awesome views of the city. We then headed into China town for a quick stop into Lisa's mom's shop, The Wok Shop,(www.wokshop.com). We tried to surprise her with Lisa and Tom walking in with KM before as their new adopted child but unfortunatley she was running an errand. After being forced to take our items we were going to buy for free we headed back to get ready for the wedding.

Josh and Minnies' wedding was at the Ritz, and in true Sundseth fashion we rolled in at 5:10 and the wedding started at 5:00. Thankfully it was an Asian wedding and they didn't get started until 5:30, maybe they planned it that way? I know we did! The wedding was great and after eating a ton, drinking more, and dancing, or at least trying compete with the two physicists that were battling (check out the video), we called it a night.



Tom and Lisa did an awesome job with KM while we were out, I think KM took them through the ringer though with her 1hr crying bout, which might have been some good birth control! After the wedding Tom and I went out for pizza and beer at Golden Boy Pizza and later met up with Pete and Anna for some late night drinks at Grant and Green Saloon. We pounded a few beers, snuck in some shots of Fernet, dumped a few beers into Anna's lap and listened to some awesome covers of Journey and other 80's music by a band called Fast Times, I think. It was a good time, and it was nice to chill with Pete and Tom again like old times. Of course we stopped and bought a ton of beer for an after party back at Pete's place and in true dad fashion, I bailed out. Sometimes you got to be responsible you know, or have a thoughtful wife!

Sunday morning we met up with Lisa's mom, Pete and Anna and we all had Dim Sum at Yank Sing. It was nice to have some good dim sum and I highly recommend their signature Shanghai Dumplings, although it takes a special technique to successfully eat them! After saying our goodbyes and packing our stuff up we headed back to SD. Thanks Tom and Lisa for the hospitality and we can't wait to see everyone again!

Jeff and Erica's Wedding

The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy. We've been out and about and were lucky enough to have a "free" night off for Jeff and Erica's wedding. Lucky for us, the wedding was 10min away and we had some awesome sitters, Uncle Roy and Aunty Ashley stepped in and put her down like experienced parents, nice work!

The wedding was great! Open bar always helps and a nice, sweet, short ceremony is always a plus because then we get to spend more quality time "socializing", right? Best wishes to the new Jeff and Erica Meyer!

4th of July Weekend

We had a good 4th this year, it was pretty mellow compared to the usual Pacific Beach craziness Geanie and I used to get into. We started it with Ben Lau's b-day party at Pizza Port on Thursday. After many pitchers and some grub we bolted out early to get Khloe Mai to bed. It was good to see the Lau's and friends and Wendy and KM were getting along great!

The next day we met the Meeuwsen's at Power House park in Del Mar for Jonas' 1st b-day. He was walking all over the place! We all had a great time at Del Mar and it was nice to hang out at the beach for the afternoon.

On the 4th we went to the Meeuwsen's and had a little BBQ and drinks along with the O'Day's. The 4th was pretty chill, nothing crazy although Khloe Mai and Jonas had their first bath together, they were pretty funny together in the tub, each trying to get toys from each other. We ended up leaving before the fireworks, should have stayed though because KM cried the whole way home, very fun! Oh yeah, I also gave myself a new haircut to celebrate the 4th! Hope the boss likes it!

Pool Time!

We went over to the Meeuwsen's and met the O'Day's there for some pool time. It was Khloe Mai's first time in the pool and she had a great time with Riley, Jonas and Marley. Riley was showing the kids what she learned at her swim lessons and she did awesome going under water. Jonas still has no fear, that boy was leaping into the pool! Khloe Mai did well but I think she was kinda surprised each time we went under! Jonas showed off his standing skills and took a step for us while we were there, it looks like he'll be walking by his first b-day next week!

Father's Day Weekend

This weekend was father's day weekend and the Cabrals started it off with a nice "in the neighborhood" visit Friday night. Boris and Wassila swung by and had some fun with Khloe Mai. Their new house is up and coming and we're hoping to visit it soon. Wassila was looking great, little Zahara is about ready to come out and join Khloe Mai, well not too soon!

Saturday we had family over and Geanie's brothers could sure do a BBQ! They brought over short ribs, steaks, chicken, fried rice and a ton of veggies to grill. I sadly have to say all we provided was prawns, chicken and beer! It was awesome to have them down for the afternoon. Hieu, Steph, Thu Han and little Hieu were kind enough to bring a ton of old toys for KM, it was practically like X-mas for her! Thanks to Hinny and Judy, who brought a lot of food, I didn't have to do any of the grilling! Brandon was a handful as always but he was really sweet to KM. Nam will be graduating next semester, finally, and we're taking him to Hawaii next year to celebrate! Grandma and grandpa loved Khloe Mai, we couldn't get KM away from grandpa.

The following morning I played in my soccer game and we won, nice. We had a nice lunch at home and met the Rupps at Tamarack beach for some beers and bocce ball. After getting way too much sun and getting my ass handed to me in bocce ball we took off and met the Meeuwsens and Karyn at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Jonas was great, I think he ate a whole basket of beer buddies! That boy can put down some serious food for 11 1/2 mths! KM and Jonas kept on eyeing each other from their highchairs, it was pretty funny. After a couple of pizzas and a pitcher of beer with a lot of good baby and catching up conversations we headed home.

PS- Thanks babe for the weekend, and that card was the best!
