Summer of Rona

A little pandemic ain't gonna stop us from having fun!  We've had to get a little creative but Summer is always a blast. This year, you and Ben had Timothy as your summer nanny. Quite possibly the best nanny ever, Timothy can keep up with you and Ben physically and loves all battle games.

Someone still likes his win neu nai 

Notice Ben in the back as you are pretending to be Masha

Fortnite battle bros

Fun with Oscar at the swim pond.

Eating popsicles with Oscar and remembering how Oscar's ice cream fell on the ground and the bees came.  Everyone was safe and laughing.  

On the lake this year, we discovered Boys Scout Island.  Your brother comes here during sailing camp.  Instead of jumping into the water to get to the island, the both of you like to sit on the floatie and be pushed over with dry flip flops, LOL.  

Then, after adventures, you play in the water.... pretty funny.

Both getting ready for some speed boat action!!

Vegas continued

We continue to have tons of safe fun in Vegas.  Here are some more pics of the Wynn.   

Always the ninja and always ready for a picture. 

Having fun with baba.  Also, playing zombies in front of Hello Kitty with baba.

By far your favorite flower display of the day - big horse and Jun Ma.

Froyo after a hot day at the pool.  Chocolate with oreos, M&M's, cookie dough and magic shell.

On a chocolate high

All fun things must come to an end, here you are heading home with your brother.

Brad o lee, we love you to the moon and back.  You love your baba, earlobe and your brother unconditionally.  He can do no wrong in your eyes.  A fierce protector of the Berger boys :)

 Some funny Bradley-isms:

-Inside voices are so hard

-My armpits are very wet (playing Minecraft)

-(7/30) I killed him but I wet my pants killing him

Deeds - Butts are awesome

Ben - Well, it does get the stuff out of your body

Summer of Rona Vegas

It's been hard not being able to travel and visit with friends and family.  The annual Memorial Day camping trip was postponed which is always fun but the right thing to do.  Plus, the parks were closed lol

Around the 4th of July, we decided to take a trip to Vegas and meet up with Anthony gege and Mai Wong.  Here you are ready to go, masks on! 

We have arrived at McCarran airport!

Vegas is a lot of fun, lots of lights, casinos, places to check out.  We visited Aria for dinner.

Catch was great for dinner, you and Ben had a great time!

We also went to the Wynn buffet for brunch.  It was served ala carte which was great, you ate about 10 shaomai's and a ton of desserts.

Very pretty flowers 

The super epic Halo game.  First, notice your lion shirt, a must purchase. LOL

You, Ben, Baba and I played 4 person Halo for an hour... we finished the game and spent about a hundred dollars.  It was something you still talk about.  Also, at the arcade, you and Ben played the claw and both won toys!! How cool is that? 

Relaxing at the pool.  The water is cold but it's really hot. Overall, the Vegas trip was well needed and a lot of fun.  We stayed safe and used a lot of hand sanitizer, masks and lysol.  The crowds were low which is helpful as well.  

I love you Bradley!! Hugs and kisses.

You are 6! B day Rona style

We had big plans for your 6th birthday and it saddens me that we couldn't throw a party.  Since most places are closed, we tried to do a backyard party but there was still too many cases.  But you still had a great time.  

We had a small pod birthday party, first with Oscar and Olivia, then with the Wares.  There was a delightful lunch from Famous Dave's, individually packaged popsicle cakes that were gold B's and your bull cake with red velvet.  

Then, we had Bradley's backyard bash with a ring toss, corn hole and water balloons.  Your birthday wish was a Cree suit with matching nerf gun.

Here's another fishy!!

Happy 6th Birthday Bradley Berger!  We are really looking forward to a fun celebration.  You have been such a blessing in our family.  Every day, you bring laughs and joy to our home. 

Breakfast of champions - Donettes and bacon, soft and crispy along with warms milk.

Red Velvet bull cake per your request.

Outdoor games with your dad and Ben!

Playing games with your  bestie!

Lunch bunch with your b day party friends.

Project success!  We had a monarch butterfly from worm to wings!! Every day we fed the worm until it became a cocoon.  Then baba brought out the tent which is when it turned into a butterfly.  A few days later, when she was ready, we released her to nature!!

There's been some significant milestones this summer.  On May 18th, you learned how to bike without training wheels.  You are still not a fan of venchtables lol.  When I give you kisses you wipe it off and explain that you are wiping around my love (very ready for corporate america).

Masks are a part of your life now, you're quite good.  The other day, you told me that you touched your finger to your nose.  On you mask?  Yeah, definitely not on my face mama!!

Also, you asked the other day, 'Mama when can we move to a new house but then come back to our house?  You mean a vacation?  YES!!' Soon buddy, soon :)  We love you 

Start of summer

The trees are starting to turn green! It's clearly warm enough to go out with no shoes or shirt. LOL

We also got an add-on to the playset but it's on backorder... everyone's idea of staying home during the pandemmies.  Today's fun activity is building a fort with an ipad enclosure, hahaha 

Life is good when garage Hawaii makes it to backyard Hawaii.  90 degree water all the time.

In the corner playing instead of eLearning.Someone really likes the warm outdoors but not too hot.  Prime temperatures these days.  This is mud and chocolate fun, or did you eat the mud? :) Legs of an active boy!

Here's mama's garden salad mix!I love this picture, you only wanted one warms milk with your donettes.  One of your favorite snacks. 

And we are back on the boat!  Still a little chilly in the beginning of summer.  Your gold shoes are back in stock, we had to get two pairs, one for now and a larger size for later.

Your first fish!! It was a fat sunny by Maynard's 

It's nice to have warmer weather so we can get out more.  The pandemmy is still in full effect and we've been social distancing for a while now.  You have been doing an excellent job cleaning your hands, wearing masks and staying six feet apart.  I hope this ends soon and you can return to a fun and somewhat normal childhood.  Love you Bradley!!
