I'M BACK!
 |
| Halloween |
As you can see by the length of his hair which ones are older. The picture of Bo with the hose is a recent picture and he loves to play in the water like all kids. He's full of pee and vinegar and so much fun but he can also be very stubborn-takes after his dad!
Bo is now 18 months old and we've enjoyed every stage and we do Face Time at least every 2 weeks!

THE BEST CHRISTMAS!!!
Over the hill and thru the woods off we go to Bo's house!
It was a very quick trip to LA, leaving on Sunday, the 23rd and returning Thursday, the 27th but it was well worth it and so much fun we had!
Bo had changed so much just since Thanksgiving and he's now laughing out loud and playing in his saucer and loved watching Yo Gabba Gabba for a short time - his attention span is very short and he has to be stimulated all of the time - he's not happy being held for very long which is fine!
We had so many great meals; Riyoko is a fabulous chef and we had a wonderful prime rib dinner on Christmas Eve and prime rib sandwiches the next day. For Christmas evening we went to their friends home, Wenyee & Melvin, and again, had another delicious prime rib - yes, I do love beef! When we walked in, Riyoko's sister, Yoko, jumped out of the bathroom to surprise us all except their parents 'cause they hadn't arrived yet - it was such a surprise 'cause Christmas Eve we were video chatting with Yoko in Japan! She answered the door when her parents arrived and her mom said, "Who are you?" It was so great having everyone together at Christmas especially with Bo now being here!
On the 26th, Hiroshi & Osako treated everyone to dinner at a Thai restaurant for dinner in Long Beach and then we went to look at the fabulous Christmas lights which Bo really enjoyed!
We left the next morning and, of course, this grandma cried when we had to leave!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKIE!
She was taken away much too early from us but she is now in Heaven with her first daughter, Heather, and mom and dad.
I miss you very much especially today and on Sundays when we used to Skype or talk - may you still be watching down on your Green Bay Packers but especially Marissa, Justin, Dylan, John and Megan and, of course, your crazy dog, Marvin!
You are no longer in pain so Rest in Peace!
I Love You!

HAPPY BITHDAY CORY!
Happy 42nd Birthday to our wonderful son, Cory aka Mr. Magoo or Bug-A-Roo - (These last two names were from when he was a baby) and he's still my baby! Finally, at the age of 41, he and Riyoko had their own baby boy!
Cory is such a wonderful son doing so many fantastic things for Dick & I which are too many to list! Happy Birthday, again, and so sorry that you have to work on your birthday!

HAPPY AFTER THANKSGIVING!
This Thanksgiving went by so fast with Cory, Riyoko and Bo being here for only 2-1/2 days!
They arrived at 8:30am Thanksgiving morning, with me meeting them at the car and getting Bo out of his car seat and hardly letting go of him until they left Saturday morning at 11:30!
On Thanksgiving, the kid's friends from LA, who were in Thanksgiving for the weekend, arrived for cocktails and dinner - a fantastic time had by all and everyone helped clean up the kitchen which was much appreciated! Little Bo enjoyed the day in his swing and tasting cranberry relish that Cory let him taste when Riyoko was in the kitchen fixing his bottle so mom doesn't know! The only time he would cry was when he was overly tired and just wouldn't give in.
Friday was ever so busy with Cory's friend, from school, and his wife stopping by for two hours and Carla stopping by for an hour to see Bo and then the kids were off to the west side to see another friend, from school, and his family. They arrived back at the house and at 7:30 with more friends from school and their families coming by for cocktails and dinner - I made a big casserole dish of Ziti and Caesars Salad and Cory picked up a couple of pizzas - it was such a fun evening with all of the kids talking about fun and funny stories about old times. Dick and and I really enjoyed the evening 'cause we have known all of these kids since they were 10 and they used to spend many over nights at our house with me cooking cinnamon french toast in the morning! Bo had hardly any naps this day and by the evening he was exhausted and being very cranky but I don't blame him 'cause he had been handled by so many people including his grandpa and grandma! Everyone left about 11:30pm and we all just fell into bed!
On Saturday morning we all went out to breakfast and they left at 11:30am - it took them 6 hours to get back to LA and they can usually make it in 4 hours!
Bo is such a happy baby and smiles all of the time!

OUR NEW GRANDSON!!!!!
I am very late in posting this as our new grandson was born on July 12th at 2:33am, weighing 5.2, 19in. long and very healthy! I call him my little "Peanut" because he is soooooo tiny and absolutely adorable and precious!!!!
His real name is Bo Tanaka Myler and Riyoko's last name is Tanaka so both families are honored! He has black hair like his mother and the Asian eyes like his mother and the little pug nose like Cory had when he was little and he has a dimple in his right cheek like me and a couple of my sisters! I just couldn't stop kissing and loving him 'cause I love babies sooo much and wish they would stay that tiny for a while. The next time that I see him, he will have grown so much 'cause it probably won't be until Christmas when we go down there!
I have included some pictures of my little "Peanut"!
Am I a proud grandma or not!!!!!
