Swimming at Jeff and Cousin Tracy’s Place
Posted on September 4, 2011 by Ching under Family, Travel.
Brian and I had a lot of fun swimming at Jeff and Cousin Tracy’s place yesterday. They have a beautiful home with an amazing backyard. Their saltwater swimming pool has one end that is shallow and then the other end is deep. At the shallow end it’s got a hot tub with a waterfall, which was my favorite feature. Here are some photos…
P.S. Cousin Tracy fed us yummy ribs, sausage, potato casserole and a bunch of other stuff last night. I have totally blown my diet this weekend.

An Unconventional Mother’s Day
Posted on May 8, 2011 by Ching under Family.
We met mom, dad, David, Donna and Jenni at Little Busters in Derby for lunch today. After that, we all met Kevin, Kasey, Kyndra and Kasey’s cousin Brandy at Derby Bowl.
Happy Mother’s Day to mom, Donna, Kasey and Jenni! And all the other moms of the world. Hope everyone had a fantastic Mother’s Day weekend. 🙂

Easter with the Brubakers
Posted on April 24, 2011 by Ching under Family.
We had Easter lunch at Cherry Creek today. Everyone agreed it would be easier on Grandma and Grandpa if we just brought Easter to them. I think it worked out great. Here are some of the photos we took…

I am so grateful to Kasey for bringing Kevin back into the family.

The next series of photos are just me playing with the front LCD and self-portrait feature of the new camera (because I’m a nerd with a new toy).
Yeah… I got a little carried away.
This last picture taken while Brian and I were waiting for everyone else to arrive. We figured that we’d get there early to help unload and set up lunch. Either way, we’d have gotten there early. We’re just quirky that way. I can’t even describe us as punctual because we are always super early to everything.
You know how people try to be on time to stuff, otherwise they’ll be late? Well, we are the opposite. I always try to make us on time for stuff because we’ll be too early otherwise. If it were up to Brian, he’d be an hour early to everything. I actually have to make an effort to stall us so we are actually on time and not early. Is there a word for that? Punctual doesn’t quite fit. LOL.
Anyway, we had a great time at lunch. I hope everyone else did too!

Brian and I had great massages at Bohemia Healing Spa. (Thanks for the suggestion, Darcy!) We both had 90-minute massages at a really good price. Their rates are lower than Serenity (Brian’s favorite place for massages). The only downside for me is that they don’t have any couples massage rooms so we have to be in separate rooms. I really like it when we can get massages together so Brian can tuck me in. It’s kind of a pain to cover myself up when the massage therapist wants to start with me facing down. When we’re in the same room, I can always ask Brian to cover me up after I hop on the massage table. I bet Brian probably prefers getting massaged in a separate room from me. I’m prone to falling asleep in the middle of massages and I, inevitably, start snoring. =P I don’t hear it because I’m asleep, but I’m sure it takes away from the whole relaxation experience for him.
Brian never falls asleep during massages, but the massage therapist managed to put him to sleep this time. I guess it was so relaxing that she actually achieved it twice. Although, as good as she was, he said that he still prefers Crystal at Fresh Spa Market because she rubbed his pecs and wasn’t at all bashful. I guess Maria was pretty timid. He also liked Janell at Individually Yours (she’s at Brown Chiropractic now). As far as spas go, though, he likes Serenity.
My massage therapist was pretty good. Though, after the massage I got from Michael at Sveta’s earlier this year, all other massages don’t seem to measure up. Sveta’s prices are a bit higher than most places, but I think I’ll just have to bite the bullet because Michael is totally worth it. I just need to quit being cheap.
After our massage, Brian and I met mom, Jenni and the Cannadys at Applebee’s for Jenni’s pre-confirmation dinner.
Mom noted that my hair was really shiny yesterday. It’s because Brian and I barely had time to change into church clothes after our massage so we didn’t have time to shower. My hair was shiny from the massage oil. I was actually feeling pretty greasy all over the entire evening. LOL.
Mom, Eli and Logan rode with us back to mom and dad’s house after dinner. Jenni went back home to change into shorts for her baptism.
Eli is the most handsome little boy ever!
Logan is handsome too, but Eli is really cute!
Brian with Jen and Matt.
Mom and Que.
I don’t know what it is about my mom, but I always look so fat next to her.
Group picture!
It was impossible to get good pictures at the church because there were way too many people. I did manage to get this one, though.
Jenni with her godmother.
Anyway, Jenni lied. Mass was more like three hours, not two. I was hoping that by the time our candles ran out that mass would be over. No such luck. Oh, and unfortunately for Brian, he forgot his headphones at home. Not that he could have played TapTap through mass, though. That would have been way too obvious. We stood out enough as it was. This old man actually told Brian that he felt sorry for him for having to sit through mass, specially the last two hours. He said, “It must have been difficult for you.” I guess Brian must have been fidgeting a lot. At least he didn’t burst into flames. That’s really what I was most worried about. LOL. The things you do for family.

Ang Bodega ni Mama
Posted on April 16, 2011 by Ching under Family, Free Stuff.
This is the room that mom converted into a closet.
All of the other closets in the house (except for the one in Jenni’s room) are full of mom’s clothes. She’s a total clotheshorse. It’s pretty bad.
These are the dancing shoes I got from mom. I wanted to wear them tonight, but I didn’t want to walk on the wet pavement with them because I didn’t want them to get ruined.
These are the slingbacks that I got from mom. I totally fell in love with them after putting them on. I wore them home that night and again to work the next day. 🙂
I think my Kenneth Cole Tribeca sandals fit mom better so I left them with her in exchange for the dancing shoes and the black slingbacks. Can’t beat that!
