the ultimate picture post

taking a break from working to make... the ultimate picture post. i've been too busy to upload & post pictures, but since i'm going to be up late working tonight, i figured i might as well post pictures while i'm at it. so... here we go!

olivia's bachelorette party

just some snippets from the party...


taking her ice skating at sam mateo ice rink (no ice skating for me :( so i took the pic from outside the rink)




cheers! toasting, champagne & spa night at the hotel after ice skating & dinner




at the ferry market in the city. we ate rice with olivia.




olivia got proposed to. not by jono. by this guy who is signing her shirt.




and this is what the guy wrote.




at paper source... our finished albums




alinna & i were trying to do the blue steel look, except we kept laughing. we finally thought we did a pretty good job until...




our waiter walked by, set down a basket of bread, and muttered "for the teenage mutant ninja turtles."


visiting the miyais
this past saturday, a bunch of us went to sac to visit the miyais.





the food tomio so graciously prepared for us... nachos galore!




the star of the day... christopher!




oski shakes hands with olivia




oski's naaaasty, foamy ball




everyone at the park




the aftermath.



andy's farewell
that night we celebrated andy's time up in norcal with a bang (aka farewell party). we'll miss you, take care of those patients in riverside!



the man of the hour



babysitting agape kids
on sunday, our cell group spent our free week helping out the agape fellowship by babysitting their kids. honestly, i don't know how the fellowship can get anything done without babysitters. everyone in other community groups... you should consider offering your babysitting services, i'm sure the parents would really appreciate it. plus you get to see the cutie kiddos all night. :)



tobi & sarah




gracie





jacob literally stood there in that position for more than 15 minutes without moving. i have a video of all the chaos going on around him with him not so much as blinking.





it was total chaos, until tobi whipped out her nintendo ds and saved our lives. thank goodness for... technology? :)




george took tytus' nintendo ds & started playing on it. yes, george took a kid's video game from him to play with it. except lucas was really obsessed with the DS and wouldn't let george see the screen.

okay, lots more pictures on my smugmug.

and lastly, i leave you with more videos of the kids. why are they so cute??



sarah & lucas hold hands and find joy running around a tree



lucas & jacob find joy in a rock that magically keeps popping back up the hole. their laughs are so cute.



and... here's the video of chaos. notice how jacob barely flinches. i'm not kidding when i said he literally stood there for 15 minutes without moving. do you like how i yell at the kids even while videotaping? haha.
