What's Cooking with Becky??

Transitions and A Little Water Fun!

Becky — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:51:01 +0000

This morning Noby and I attended what would turn out to be his last “regular” EI group. His teachers suggested that Noby move into what they call a transition class. This class still only meets once a week (Thursdays not Wednesdays) but half way through the class all the parents leave. They think this will be great for Noby, I think it will be great for me. I was getting pretty nervous on how I would do leaving Noby at school that first day. This will help me (and him) get though that! haha

After school we headed over to Lizzy’s. While she ran to a doctors appointment with the youngest, Noby and I stayed to play with the older boys!! Once again we had so much fun!!

Beach Day!

Becky — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:52:11 +0000

Today Noby and I had plans to head to the beach! Katie, Peyton and all the Lemoines rented a house down in RI and we were going to visit for the day. Things didn’t work out for today but since I had promised Noby the beach I knew I had to come up with something. I thought about heading north, I have a friend that goes to OOB every Tuesday but wasn’t to excited about the drive. Then I thought about checking out Wright Pond. Wright Pond is located in Medford, it’s open to town residents only and offers swimming and picnicking. We got ready and headed over, but I must have read the website wrong because the man at the gate said I had to obtain the pass at city hall BEFORE going. I thought I would be able to get one there. Anyway I wasn’t about to go to city hall in my bathing suit so I needed a plan D. Castle Island!!!! Keith suggested it a while back and it was time to check it out!

Noby couldn’t be happier, he had such a great time!!!

No waves and No fear meant Noby wouldn’t get out of the water. Also he just kept going deeper and deeper!

Yes I made him keep his shoes on! haha

A little lunch on the beach…

I’m In Love…

Becky — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:26:51 +0000

I am totally and utterly in love with this….

That’s right I got my Le Creuset pot today and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it!! I love everything about it, the size, the color, everything makes me so happy!!! Right now, I’m trying to decide on the first meal to cook in it!!

Ohhh I’m in love with this little guy too….

Before Work…

Becky — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 04:11:00 +0000

Ichiro has to do some work in the office on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend but before we let him go in today we all took a trip to the Children’s Museum. We had such a nice afternoon exploring the museum. Afterward we stopped for a giant popsicle before dropping Daddy off at work!

Playing a little basketball…

Noby typing in his email… haha

This was by far Noby’s favorite activity of the day…

How Cool!

If I had extra money AND someplace to put this, I would buy it!!

LOVE IT!

Tonight we went to a dinner party to celebrate our dear friend Cassius’s birthday! It was such a wonderful evening filled with interesting conversation, tasty foods, and great people!!

Thanks for letting us celebrate with you, Cassius! And Happy Birthday!

Hello Again Friends!

Becky — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:22:56 +0000

Today Noby and I headed over to Lizzy’s so the kids could play outside. It’s been sooo long and I couldn’t believe how much the baby has grown!!! HE’S WALKING!! Of course everyone had a great time. I decided to bring Ichiro’s camera to try and get some pictures but realized half the pictures were taken in the wrong format. OOPS…better luck next time. Here are a few I did get!

LOVE THIS ONE…

A Geeky Date Night!!

Becky — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:01:12 +0000

Tonight Ichiro and I had a very geeky date night! One of Ichiro birthday gifts, one he knew about, was tickets to Star Wars in Concert! A few months ago Ichiro and I were watching tv and came across a special on PBS about a live performance featuring Star Wars music. The PBS special looked awesome and we quickly got online to look for tickets.

It was an AWESOME show. If you are a Star Wars fan and have the opportunity to see this show, I HIGHLY recommend it!! Ichiro took a few short videos that I will try to get up at some point but for now here are a few pictures from the night!

Before the show began…

The real C3PO even narrated it!!!

Can you see the orchestra under the huge screen?

They even had lasers!

In the lobby they had some of the original costumes…

“Luke I am your father…”

Jury Duty

Becky — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:32:08 +0000

Today Ichiro had jury duty, which we thought would mean he was going to be home early. Well that’s what I thought anyway. But in the end he was picked for a jury and didn’t make it house that early. Almost around normal time. Ohhh well!! But when he did finally make it home, we all went out to play in the backyard.

Please don’t look at our sad dead grass!

We let Noby run around in the sprinkler as we watered the sad dead grass!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Becky — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:08:33 +0000

While at the store this morning looking for something special to make for dinner, Noby and I decided to get some stuff to make Ichiro a birthday cake! I gave Noby choices of two different kinds of cake, two different frosting, and a few different sprinkles. He ended up picking a marble cake with chocolate frosting and star sprinkles! haha Exactly what I wanted him to pick! He was so excited to help make Daddy’s birthday cake! Check it out…

Turns out the eggs in our fridge were VERY old and we had no oil. I remember reading something about making a cake with a can of soda, so we checked it out and went for it!

Needed two hands for the mixer…

Mix, mix, mix…

This was the hardest picture to take…

Scooping in the chocolate cake mix…

Stirring to make ti marble… He wasn’t sure what to do when a little got on his arm…

A little chocolate frosting…

And what Noby was waiting for… the stars!

He dumped most of them out right in that pile, but after I showed him how to shake it slowly he did a great job..

Candles and singing to Daddy…

Good thing we don’t have a smoke detector…

Yummm…

One happy boy…

Noby and I picked out a new bathing suit for Ichiro. I guess we will have to head back down to the beach to test it out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICHIRO!! WE LU!!
