Cebu City Capitol building decorated
The boys decorate our tree right after Thanksgiving!
Jesse participates also. I had a hard time getting them to do this, they were too occupied with their ps2!
My three favorite men....Jamin was in a 'mood' at the time of pic taking.
Aren't they growing up?
I always get griped at for not taking pics, so I allowed this one to be shot. We had just opened up Christmas gifts and eaten chocolate birthday cake (our breakfast) for Jesus. That's alittle tradition we started when the boys came along. We had a great Christmas! And most of all, the boys seem content with what they got and didn't ask 'is that all?'
Jamin loves to collect bugs, and I get tired of glass jars all over the house that he forgets about. Poor little bugs always die, so he got this bug habitat (bug house) for him (from his MeeMaw).
Both Jess and Jamin are Pokemon fanatics, so both received 2 new Pokemon gameboy games plus strategy books to go along.
Jess is playing the new Lego Star Wars 2 ps2 game. They all (including their friends) played this all day long Christmas day....well, except for the 20 min break that ps2's have to have every 2 hours:)
It's nothing unusual to have 4-6 kids, not including our boys, in our house during holidays and weekends. Every once in awhile, i have to shoo them all outside to go play. It's a shame that they are stuck inside all day especially when it's so beautiful outside. We are going to have to set limits, otherwise they will never get any exercise!
Peter and Jamin-Peter is our adopted child. No, not really! But he's at our house every single day. He is Korean and is learning to like American food. We let him eat with us every once in awhile, especially when I fix spaghetti, or we make pizza. Peter had his first slice of pizza ever at our house. It was cute to watch him eat it upside and backwards. 
Our birthday cake for Jesus!
This poster was at one of our malls. We all cracked up laughing, and so I captured Jess doing that very thing! Doesn't it look real?
Jess, before he got his hair all buzzed off again! He is such a ham, and never gets tired of me snapping shots. This is also the latest pic of him right after he pulled out his 2nd tooth in December alone. (both teeth up top on either side of his 2 front teeth are now gone). The 2nd tooth, he twisted and jerked around....I had to walk out of the room. It was literally making me ill. He was enjoying that fact!
Jamin was having fun with different hats the other day.
It scares me every time the boys get on the motorcycle with Dad, but I know they really enjoy it! Robert has had a motorcycle ever since he was Jamin's age. Having a motorcycle has been a lifesaver here, because of the awful traffic. These bikes can whiz in and out of traffic like a van can't.
In order....the biggest goofball of them all-Jesse, then Peter, Jamin and Miguel.
Jamin and Jesse with brother/sister team: Tyra and Trevor. I think Tyra is just adorable. I told their dad that I think she could model and do well with it. Their dad is an American from Boston, and their mom is Filipina. We have enjoyed being around them. Below is their silly pic. Tyra didn't want to participate with this one. She is all girl;)
Jamin got to play with all the guys also. He only made it for one of the three days of the clinic because of school, but he enjoyed it. He tried to get the ball away from everyone, instead of just one guy...the guy he was suppose to get from. He doesn't have a pair of tennis shoes that fit him right now (we are working on that), so he wore flip flops. That only lasted for about 5 minutes, and then he had those things kicked off. His feet were so black and dirty from the court (gag gag). But most of all, he had a ball!!!! No pun intended!
Ok, so we waited until the day of Halloween to choose our outfits. The choices in the stores were pretty infantile, or mostly for girls. So, we be the Homies! We used tin foil for our bling bling. At first Jamin was pretty embarassed about it, but I think they forgot about the lack of costume, because the candy giving was awesome. Last year, there were only 8 houses that participated....it was pretty sad. This year, we had over 30 houses that had candy. The boys had to go back home, empty out their bags, and start where they left off. We were not prepared for all the kids, so we ended up recycling the boys candy to give out. Dont' worry....they got plenty of candy that they ended up not eating anyways. Sometimes Filipino and Korean candy is unrecognizable;)
This is Jamin and Jesse's friend Trevor. They enjoy spending time together, and it usually involves being around our PS2.
Jamin is showing off his bling bling to his friends.
Of all nights to have a brown out (that is when the electricity goes off for awhile), we had one on Halloween. It was at the end of a 10 hour brownout that we started to get goofy and playing with our flash lights before going out to do trick-or-treating. The brownout was timely (never thought I would say so) because all the houses that were participating had candles lit in their garages. It made it kind of spooky. The streets were creepy dark. It made it all worthwhile. When the electricity came back on, and the outside lamp posts started to light, you could hear the groans from the kids in the neighborhood. They were all enjoying the dark:)
