Fontana Days Race

Ethan ran in his first race on June 7th. He ran in the kids 1/2 mile race and I did the Half Marathon. Ethan did a great job. He would have placed for his age group but he was accidentally put in the 11 year old category. It's all in fun anyways! We had a lot of fun racing together. Now we just have to get the other 3 motivated. The other kids agreed that after swim lesson were over they would start running with me in the morning. We'll see who really sticks to thier word.

June Birthday's

Well it's June Birthday time in the Wakumoto family. Wow, there are a lot of birthdays. First we got started by celebrating Mom and Ethan's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. Hayven made Ethan feel special by giving him all of her smiles and giggles. They became best buddies that night. Then on June 7th we celebrated ALL of the June birthdays. The Smith's were kind enough to let us borrow their swimming pool and BBQ for the party. We had good food, good company, and lots and lots of presents. It was great for all of the cousins to play together. They really enjoy all of their time together. This year Koen and Hayven turned 1, Landon turned 2, Caleb turned 4, Austin turned 6, and I turned old. It was great to share my birthday with Koen. He's my birthday buddy. Mom said NO MORE JUNE BABIES! We were laughing that she might send a reminder email of celibacy in the month of Sept. hahaha It was a fun day.

Our First Vacation

Scott and I finally got our first vacation since Golden Spoon opened. It's only been 7 months, but they have been 7 long months. It wasn't real to me that we were actually leaving until we drove off. Thanks to the help of mom we stayed 2 nights in Palm Springs. It was soooo nice. I kept saying to Scott "It's soo quiet." I can't believe all of the noise in our house and the fact that I am actually used to it. Since it was BOTH of our vacations we did things we BOTH liked. Scott took me on a short hike along the San Andreas fault. This is where the pics are from with me doing my Japanese tourist pose. Out in the middle of sand was a Forrest of palm trees growing naturally with a mini pond. It was so fun to see all kinds of lizards and craw fish. For Scott fun we went to some movies. I even got to layout by the pool and fall asleep. I never sleep at the pool these days. I'm always chasing someone or making sure no one's drowning. It was a real treat!! Now I'm mentally planning our next vacation.

Ethan lost his first tooth

It's big news. . . .Ethan lost his first tooth. He was so excited. All of his friends were starting to lose their teeth at school. He wasn't one of those kids that let it get so loose that it dangles for days. He was like his mom and obsessed with the thing until he could PULL it out. All of his hard work paid off because the Tooth Fairy was so busy, or forgetful, that she took 3 days to get the tooth. But to make up for her delay, she left 3 dollars. One dollar for each day. Yes, she took three days! A few weeks later Ethan lost another tooth. The first thing he said was "I hope the Tooth Fairy comes late again".

Just Dance!

Madison had her first dance recital. She is taking Jazz and Tap dance. Madison was nervous, this being her first recital but she did a great job. She even SMILED! Even when her hat slipped down over her eyes. She Just Danced! We had a great time watching her dance.
