Jelly Belly Factory

Melissa and I took the boys to the Jelly Belly Factory. Tyler, especially, loves to see how things are made!

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day Geoff made heart-shaped pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries for the boys and me! Curious George got to have some too since Cole got to bring him home as an assignment from school!

Geoff took Tyler and Cole to Castle rock for some hiking and bouldering.

Happy Birthday, Milo!

Although we don't know the actual date of Milo's birthday, we know it's about 6 weeks before the date that Geoff got him which lands us at Feb. 8. Here he is on his 1 year birthday! He doesn't look that happy, but we are sure glad he's part of our family!

A Valentiney Breakfast

I saw this breakfast idea in a magazine and thought I'd give it a try to usher in February. The boys really liked it! It's an English muffin with cream cheese, a little strawberry jam, and strawberries on top!

Meeting Geoff for Lunch

We decided to meet Geoff for lunch one day. We met at the Great Mall in Milpitas, then went to Dave and Busters to play some games.

Masdua Family New Year Celebration

Every year the Masuda side of our family gets together to celebrate the New Year. It's usually not on January 1, though!

Here's Tyler showing his cousin, Megan, his new DS.

My cousins Amy and Laura.

A Day in the City

We decided to head up to San Francisco for the day. It was still all decorated for Christmas. Here are the boys in front of the ice skating rink in Union Square (no, we didn't try it!)

We took a cable car to Fisherman's Wharf. We stopped by Boudin Bakery and watched the worker make turtles out of bread. Tyler was fascinated by all the conveyor belts and machines! He said, "Maybe I can work here one day."

We went on to Pier 39 where we watched a performer juggle fire and do a little comedy on the stage.

We ate a volcano at the rainforest cafe.

Cole requested that I capture him SO FAR off the ground!
