Here is my dear husband, using our lovely son to assist him in keeping his arms toned. And although I know that Benz is totally safe in Dick’s hands, this totally makes me nervous. I love that my husband doesn’t take himself seriously and can be stupid silly. Yes, you’re stupid silly. And cute too. [...]

Back into the groove. Homeschooling at Starbucks again.
Because the weather was so nice, and because I can’t seem to stay away, the whole family ventured to Starbucks to homeschool. It’s days like this that make homeschooling more fun and I don’t have to be muttering under my breath between gritted teeth, “I hate teaching, I hate teaching!” Usually, I’m saying that when [...]
Another accident in the back seat of the Benz. Rushing to get to our first day of Homeschool Co-op.
A few weeks ago, our homeschool co-op started up again. Our first day and of course we’re rushing to get to school on time. Usually the first day (and only the first day) I’m on time. So, in order to make it on time, we had to rush to the grocery store so I could get [...]
Babies and Doggies…Benz and Oscar’s forced photo shoot.
One day Auntie Lucy was spending some time with her nephew Benz. Benz was quite happy and content to just hang with Auntie. However Aunt Lucy got this “brilliant” idea to try to take a picture of my baby with her baby. (Hmmm…Does that make them “cousins”?) She thought, what a great picture it would [...]
Labor Day with the Fam.
I love having visitors and it’s so great having everyone together. It’s always so exciting and happy and full of laughter. Grandpa and Grandma are ALL about the Benz. Look at my little Buddha and his moobs!!! My salsa…very easy to make and yummy! What else but hamburgers and hot dogs for Labor Day!! Oh, [...]
My Benz, a player? Queenie comes visits Benz and makes a prediction.
Look who else is visiting me Labor Day Weekend…Queenie!!! You remember my lovely (and crazy) Aunt from Toronto…Queen Latifa. I love Queenie dearly and one of the reasons I love her most is her bluntness. Remember her words of wisdom when she was in Vietnam with my parents and sister over Christmas? Well, while she was here, [...]
Impromptu photo shoot while picking up Lucy at the airport for Labor Day.
I’m so utterly behind on blogging that I’m just now posting our Labor Day weekend pics. This is me, waiting for dear sis to arrive at the airport. Today, I’m donning my Princess Leia hair look. The girls always want to come with me to pick up their Auntie. Somehow we ended up getting there [...]
You gotta know when you hold em’.
You know how whenever you go to the casino there are a bunch of Asians? They’re probably Vietnamese. For some reason, Viet people love to gamble. At least some of them. Well, it’s because we start them young. Haha. Just kidding. We do not gamble. I am not a fan of gambling. I can count on [...]
Don’t have a scale at home? Weigh your baby at Walmart.
We were at Walmart getting a few things when Dick saw a scale and decided he would see how much Benz weighed. Yeah, at Walmart…in the grocery department. Babies have a 1-month and 2-month check-ups where we usually find out how much they weigh, how big their head has gotten and how long they are. [...]
My painted face: Jane’s simple, unchanging and much-needed make-up style.
I used to be the kind of person that would just be MORTIFIED if anyone saw me without make-up but over the years, I’ve become more comfortable with myself and I realized that people really just don’t give a shit. They may think in their head, “Da-ang, girlfriend look like ass without her make-up on.” [...]
