Makayla danced the night away at a wedding we attended recently. Despite the big empty dance floor, she couldn't resist the beautiful music and started dancing all by herself...at first. Then a couple of 'boys' came to join her.

ultimate family road trip
On Memorial Day weekend, we did something we've never done before...took a family road trip down to Oregon Coast with Heidi's extended family (maternal side)! Here's a recap by the numbers.
ONE - awesome God who blessed us with this family and the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other1 - giant beach house in Neskowin, OR where we spent two nights and one day (Thanks to the Le Family!)
5 - minivans to transport everyone down to the coast by 5 awesome drivers (Thanks Myron, Eddie, Abe, Eric, Brian!)
24 - people attended this trip (plus one awesome dog...lai cha!)
16.5 - months of age of the youngest member of the family...Makayla!
90 - years of age of oldest member of the family...popo!
3 - number of bloomed roses we saw at the Rose Garden (maybe next time!)
11pm - the approximate hour when Brian led us into playing some really fun family games (cup stacking, marble picking with chopsticks, transporting cookie from forehead to mouth were the highlights!)
24 - plates of waffles, eggs, bacon, yam fries, tater tots, fruits for brunch on Sunday morning
15 - pounds of steak Kyle marinated and Abe/Jada grilled for dinner on Sunday...yum!
45 - minutes of precious family worship time where we sang praises, read scriptures and shared about things that we're thankful for
200+ - wontons wrapped for brunch on Monday
15 - minutes of high-energy aerobics group dance taught by the one and only, Ms. Mavis!
5 - bags of trash we brought back to dispose of (after a 2-hour entertaining conversation about how to dispose of the trash during dinner)
0 - injury (if you don't count the small glass cut on Heidi's finger)
...to name a few...

Makayla (16 months) loves playing with tai po. They spend Mondays and Thursdays together and come up with all sorts of silly games.

eight front teeth + 4 molars + 1 tasty chicken wing = mak at dinner!
Eventually, she chewed the bones apart and started playing drums with them!

happy mother's day!
Our second Mother's Day was quite eventful. Now that Makayla is a little older and can actually enjoy different experiences, it's so much fun to take her to different places and introduce her to new things.
Friday, we had dinner at Seoul Hot Pot, a Korean restaurant close to our home. Makayla behaved and ate the entire time while we ate without getting fussy or wanting to finish early. Yeah, she's always been a good eater but lately, we noticed that sometimes (especially when we're dining out), she tends to eat less and wants to get out of her booster chair sooner. We later found out that her strange behavior might have been due to the emerging (1/3 way out) molars that are growing on both sides!!!
Anyway, back to M's day recap...on Saturday, we checked out the new Uwajimaya in Bellevue and had a quick lunch there. Mak was fascinated by all the Japanese bobble heads and started dancing (swaying side to side) with them. It was so funny! Only regret...didn't get it on video! argh!
The weather was beautiful so we went to the Bellevue Botanical Garden and enjoyed a nice 'hike' around the garden. Makayla loved walking on her own (will post video shortly). The day ended with a great dinner at Aloha Ramen and ice cream at Molly Moon's. Mak seemed to be more interested in the waffle cone than the homemade ice cream!
Then we went to a park close to our home and played in the playground for a little bit (will post video soon). Mak loved playing on the swing. The weekend celebration concluded with a good ol' home cooked meal by all the men from the Wong and Chung families. It was delicious...thanks guys!

On Sunday, after service, we had a great lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Cheeky Cafe and took a short walk around the neighborhood (cuz Mak did NOT want to go back to the car).
