Super Stone

Stone loves to pretend and wear costumes... But what does every super hero need? His own cape! I found a pretty easy pattern online so I decided to try making him one. It turned out pretty good and he really enjoyed modeling it when it was all finished... it has a big "S" on the back... Stone says, "the "S" stands for Super Stone!"

Modeling his super hero pose!
Twirling around... it moves with the hero!
One last punch!
The cape is not perfect but he loved it just the same... he thanked me so many times last night and was so excited to have his very own cape!

A Busy Month


September was a crazy busy month for us! Here is a highlight of the big things that happened, of course there was a lot of fun activities in between!

Stone started Pre-K at Sonshine School! He loves his teachers and was so happy to be back at school with his friends!
Labor day weekend we got to see Aaron and Izumi and play with baby Celeste! She is such a cutie pie!
We hit the first praise and pizza of 2009-2010 with the international students and Stone was so happy to see ALoys!
We were invited to a TCK dinner with the OC students! The activity was to make a pizza that represented the country you are associated with ... we made an Anpanman face pizza!
Feeling a bit homesick we decided to hit Tokyo Sushi for dinner one night! It was delicious and recharged us to focus more clearly on our life here!
Stone and I took advantage of free Chick-fil-A one afternoon so yummy and notice which team he chose to support? Go Steelers!
Lj turned 35 this month... we enjoyed a park celebration with our Japan friends!
Stone and I along with some friends went to go see Thomas and Friends when he rolled into town! Stone had a blast (between the melt-downs)... this is so much fun and free if you chose not to ride the train!
The last weekend of September we headed to Dallas to see my aunt who was in town for a business trip. It was so nice to get away and see the sights of Dallas/Fort Worth.

We got to see the cattle herd in the Fort Worth Stockyards! The Stockyards were such a neat place!

While in Dallas we also got to hit the Dallas World Aquarium! Stone loved seeing all the fish. We had Ruth take our picture through one of the tanks... notice the background?! Is that a subliminal hint or what?

September was busy month but full of fun! We are looking forward to October... pumpkin patch, fall break, cooler weather, halloween!
