Despicable Me 2

Despicable Me 2! The kids loved the Minions!

Helping Around the House

While her older sister Keisha was busy cooking, Nicole was doing her share of chores - she cleaned the table and helped her dad set it for dinner. She's just 4 years old. :)

New Picture

My little girl is becoming a big girl right under my nose. She's beginning to lose some of her baby fat and is growing really tall. I am both happy and sad at the same time, since soon she will no longer allow me to cuddle her and smother her face with kisses.

Lolo Ed and Nicole

This picture was taken on Nicole's third birthday (June 28, 2010).

We miss you Lolo Ed.

My 4th Birthday Cake

Here's Nicole with her 4th birthday cake. This video was taken last June 28, 2011 but lazy me just uploaded it today, lol. :)

Nicole's School Intramurals

Henry and I picked up both kids from school after their intrams were over. I didn't get to see Nicole cheer and play games, but when I picked her up she was really tired but happy and excited about how her day went. While we were waiting for her sister Keisha, I picked up this flower which was growing from a plant in their campus, and placed it on Nicole's ear. She asked me to take a picture of her, and requested I add it to her Facebook account, lol.

Katy Perry TGIF

Nicole loves watching Katy Perry's video of Last Friday Night (TGIF). I think the video's cool too. :)

Palmolive Naturals Shampoo

Daddy's out to buy Nicole this shampoo. I don't think it's a no tear formula, so I guess I'll find out when he gets home. Nicole has been using Johnson's Baby Shampoo for the longest time, and she's quite excited to try out a new brand. When I had the chance to smell this shampoo, it really does smell great. Hopefully Nicole will like it.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy father's day to Daddy Henry and to my Lolo Ed!

Shrek in 3D

Nicole's first 3D movie is Shrek Forever After last May 30, and I could say is that she really needs to watch more movies on the big screen so she can get used to it. Even though I was right beside her and holding her tight, she still cried when the lights went out or when Rumpelstiltskin had his evil face on.

I also had a hard time making Nicole wear her 3D glasses during the movie, and I think she misplaced it three times, sending me and Henry into a searching fit in the dark as we would end up paying a hefty fee for those glasses.

But overall, I would say her first movie was a success because she was very happy whenever Shrek and Gingy was on screen, especially since when we ate at McDonald's and her Happy Meal toy was Gingy himself.

Big Time Rush Fan

After the Jonas Brothers, my kids are now big fans of Big Time Rush and can't wait for it to be shown on Nick. They've been repeatedly playing this song over and over and over again on Youtube, and it's driving me nuts! Hahaha!

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 is Nicole's new favorite movie. She has been watching the DVD on a daily basis, alternate with Spongebob Squarepants.

Nicole even screams and giggles whenever the Chipmunks are singing and dancing, which makes the movie all the more fun to watch.

Planet 51

Henry bought a DVD of Planet 51, and all of us watched it in the kid's room where the DVD player is. Unfortunately, the kids slept halfway through it, lol!

From what I've watched, I think it's pretty OK, and the concept of us humans being the aliens was great. Too bad that the kids fell asleep when the astronaut landed on Planet 51, and I had to turn the TV off so that they wouldn't wake up from the noise. I guess I'll have to write about this at another time when Keisha and Nicole get to finish it.

Sunday at the Malabon Zoo

We spent last Sunday at the Malabon Zoo - Henry, me and the kids. Although this zoo is very near our home, I've never been to that zoo, so it was like a treat for me too, lol! I'll be posting pictures of our zoo trip either later in the day or tomorrow. :-)

My Pet Princess

These are pictures of my pet Princess. She is a female Shih Tzu. She's black and white, and was born on July 2009. 

Our Weekend at Active Fun

As promised, here are some pictures of Nicole when we went to Active Fun last November 15. Nicole was afraid of the slides, but her dad managed to convince her to give it a try. We all had a great time playing with the kids, especially since the playground was really big, just right for adults with a kid's heart, too!

Lots of Fun at Active Fun

Last Saturday was the first time we took the kids to Active Fun at SM North EDSA, or at any Active Fun branch at that matter. I have to say I love it! Even though it is more expensive compared to the other playgrounds we've been to, it's well worth it. There are lots of things kids can do in the playground, and the place is BIG. There were a lot of kids there, but you couldn't feel it because the playground was big.

Nicole was scared of the slides, but her dad managed to capture a video of her on the slide. I am not sure how he managed to convince her to slide down because I was unsuccessful in doing so.

As soon as I get the chance, I will be uploading pics of the kids in Active Fun, and Nicole's video on the slide.

A New Dress

Here are pictures of Nicole with her new dress. This dress came from my unlce/godfather who lives in Canada. The dress is a bit tight (lol!) but still fits her so I decided to let her wear it yesterday when we went to Keisha's birthday party at school.

Museong Pambata

A couple of days ago, Henry and I toook the kids to Museong Pambata as we waited for my mom in law in the US Embassy. I just wanted to share some pictures of Keisha and Nicole and how adorable these two looked.

Nicole on Youtube

This is a video I took of Nicole. Honestly, there's really no reason why I did it. I was even sick when at the spur of the moment I decided to take a video of her, which explains my muffled voice. Enjoy!
