today is deedee's 3rd b-day! so we got her 3 cans of wet dog food and a new toy. the new toy, chubby buddy was so cute and has a tennis ball inside of his tummy, we named him "puffins." but unfortunatelly he died in about 20 min. but gave a birth to beautiful purple ball.

here is my tummy today. wow it is getting a lot bigger compare to 4 weeks ago... i gained a lot of weight and actually doctor told me i should watch what i eat so that i don't gain as much. ooops!

so we went shopping for daniel's work pants and shirts, but then he happened to spot this obey shirt that he had to buy!! so i made him model, and this is his modeling picture (ya i know, it's not great huh).

we went to morgan territory regional park, which was about 30 min drive from the house in livermore. we tried this one cuz' it's a "dog ok" trail. this park was as you can see really lame. it was just hot and gold color everywhere, the coolest thing was that we saw a lizard...and that is pretty pathetic... i guess you can bring your horse and ride around and we saw few people mountain biking around the trail. but definitely not a place for beautiful scenery walk :P

we had a surprise visitor today, kate and gloria!! they went on a road trip to bakersfield and on the way back they stopped by to see us. deedee and kate really missed each other as you can see from the picture ;) thanks guys for stopping by!

i knew this day was coming but not this fast! the new iPod Classic holds 160gb!?!?! that is twice as much as my laptop hard drive and it's like 1/20 of the size. that's just nuts!! the new iPod Touch is cool but it's practically same as iPhone without the phone. i just can't believe they dropped the iPhone price to $399 for the "up coming holiday season" and probably to compete with iPod Touch. they already removed the 4gb model iPhone and i guess some people are selling that for $299 now. i should've waited another month and i would've saved $200!!! damnit!! i do like the more rounded edge of the new iPod series. it's cute ;)

went to diablo mountain state park today, was about 1hr drive to get there. it wasn't too hot up there but was very windy at the summit. we took deedee to hike together but i guess dogs are not allowed on the trails here :( so she had to stay in the car when we were hiking around big rocks. it was definitely fun and we are thinking of going somewhere next weekend where dogs are allowed on the trails!

here is the view from the summit, it was very windy! the summit elevation is 3849 ft. we saw a bay bridge far far a way from here. it was very pretty.

we took deedee to a groomer today and thought it's funny to do her "before" and "after" picture. looks like a hairy beast became a black lab puppy!
