Three more "blogs"

Nothing better to do this weekend, except clearing my backyard I call "garden", I created another three "blogs" for my boys: all inspired by a certain cartoon network show, guess what?

Here are the links, kinda cute if you ask me; but again these are my favourite boys:

Jaylen - click here...

Ashlee - here and

Kalen - here...

Jay, Aiyee and Kallen at LAX

Just the boys saying "Hello" from LAX while enroute to Las Vegas for Lola Julia's 50th Wedding Anniversary.

The boys did enjoyed the beaches in Honolulu with Lolo Cesar and Lola Lita, with cousins Czar and Lyra.

Also see Pappy's LAX early morning shoot... not that good though.

Day out at Coogee

This spring weather is becoming more like summer everyday. Good in a way, kids can enjoy going to the beach again - even for another four months or so.

Photo was taken during one of the boys' playgroup outing at Coogee Beach:

The name Coogee is said to be taken from a local Aboriginal word koojah which means "smelly place", or "stinking seaweed", a reference to the smell of decaying kelp washed up on the beach. Although at certain times large quantities of seaweed are still washed up, it is usually removed before it gets a chance to stink."

As most things Australian, important places have Aboriginal names and link to these original inhabitants.

Ashlee's Pose: Muscles

"Look Pappy", says Aiyee, "look at my muscles!"

Here's another pose... he looks like one of those boxers posing before a title fight!

Yes you've guessed it, he loves punching and running around and kicking.

Pensive Hood

Aiyee in his pensive mood, either that or he is already hungry. This is the same day that they went to the museum and we were just waiting for his mom and dad at the King Street Wharf.

I was going to meet up with them at the museum but was "banned" from going. I guess I have this notoriety for spending too much time at the museum. But my daughter said it is their "family time". Good, I was able to spent time around Sydney CBD and shot some photos.

Our shadows, while feeding these pesky sea gulls!

Coke Addicts

A month ago the kids were treated to their first Australian Museum visit, with the Dinosaurs Just Moved Into Sydney “650 square metre” exhibition. As any other kids, they loved dinosaurs.

After which we met them for lunch at Wagamama at King Street Wharf. That is where the picture above was taken. The kids just guzzling their cokes served in this retro coke bottles.

After lunch, we went into Darling Harbour for a walk, ice creams and mini-train rides. What a day...

I am five now Honey! Ashlee

This is what my Ashlee said to Honey when she phoned him this morning to say Happy Birthday!

My small look-alike (poor boy!!) turned five today. Kids like to be older, while we want to get younger. Crazy world isn't it? But kids, like any other kids like birthdays, especially if its theirs. Do you think it has something to do with lots of presents? Your guess is as good as mine!

Aiyee, as I fondly calls him, loves the colour blue. Good thing that his soccer team sports the same colour, shown above photo taken a few weeks ago. His first goal: on the opponents' goal. This "competition" is more on kids having fun and building skills at the same time. The parents are more aware of winning and loosing, and everybody is a coach on the sidelines. Aiyee take all these "coaching" in stride. "Aiyee, do something!" his mom shouted at one time, only to be reproached by the coach: "He is running and doing something!"

At five, what does Aiyee wants? I think he wants more of those toys shown on tv. He always makes it a point to let me know that he wants so and so toy when advertised on tv... sort of "wink.. wink Pappy... my birthday is coming" and you know what I want.

I think I'll buy him whatever he wants, his turning five anyway.
