2010 Photo/Video Montage

Another year, another video. For you hardcore blog fans, you’ll watch all nine minutes of the video and love every second. For everyone else, I apologize for the long boring video.

More kids, more Barney

A couple years ago, you may remember a video of Alissa dancing along with a Barney song. Well, the twins are about that age now and just started doing the same thing with the benefit of having Alissa as the ring leader. Both videos below:

Blast from the past – video from our wedding reception

I’ve been trying to do some cleaning of all the electronic data we have across multiple external and internal hard drives recently and rediscovered the video that we showed during our wedding reception. For those of you who were at the wedding (and weren’t totally wasted) you might remember bits and pieces. The most interesting thing to me is to look at the baby pictures of us and compare them to Ashley, Amanda, and Alissa. Definitely some similarities in certain pictures. It’s kind of a long video, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it. At the very least, there will be several pictures that you can make fun of us about. I certainly have some doozies in there.

Will they be athletes?

We spent a little time at the playground and tennis court today. For some reason, we found Amanda and Ashley hanging around to be very funny. They just kinda grab on like it’s no big deal. Not sure if you can see their facial expressions in the video, but it was entertaining to me while in the moment as you can tell from my giggling. The tennis experience was a good way to tire them out for their naps. Lots of chasing after balls. Alissa’s hand eye coordination needs some work and I’m still determined to see if I can get her to play lefty. We’ll see how that goes.

Celebrating Benita’s birthday at the beach

We went to Santa Cruz for Benita’s birthday. Spent some time at the beach and did some BBQ. Here are a few pics and a short video:

Dirty, dirty baby:

Babies like roasted corn on the cob:

And Alissa likes chips:

Bonnie made the dolphin and surfboard out of fondant.

Amanda and Alissa sing the hits

Funniest part is when Amanda tries to say “Thank-you” half way through.

Strange little people

With every day, the kids’ personalities and interactions become more and more interesting.

First, they’re becoming more and more “hammy” in front of the camera.

Second, they’re fighting more.

Third, they’re imitate us more and more.

Fourth, they’re developing physical skills like Ashley’s “hopping.”

And finally, when they’re not fighting, they occasionally will all play together.

Preschool summer program activities

Alissa’s preschool program does a lot of field trips during the summer months. All of the parents are pretty involved so there’s typically a healthy mix of kids and adults. That plus the fact that two of our friends have kids who go to the same school means that Bonnie has had at least a little help in those instances when she has had to bring all three kids along.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to participate much since I just started the new job, but I have been able to follow along at least through pictures Bonnie sends from her iphone. Here are some of the highlights:

Serra Bowl:

Apparently, the kids were only really interested for the first few frames:

Happiness is The Sticker Factory:

Bay Area Discovery Museum:

Carnival Day:

Also, here are a few other random shots from the last couple weeks.

Amanda with a very mature looking smile:

Not sure why we’re all lying down on the floor:

I forgot to post this short video of a few parts of our staycation.
