16. Nash beats Cerise at her own psychological games:<br />
<br />
Cerise: "You guys better be good because Santa brings presents to kids who are being good and rocks to kids who are being bad!"<br />

Nash: "Oooo, I like rocks! Can he bring small shiny ones?"<br />

Cerise: "No, he only brings big, ugly ones."<br />

Nash: "I like those ones too!"<br />

22. Nash's memory is scary sometimes. Cerise's gramma from Japan stayed with us when Nash was 13 months old. When Nash was 27 months, Cerise pulled out for the first time in 14 months the slippers that her Obaachan (grandmother in Japanese) had worn inside our house. As soon as Nash saw them he said, "Obaachan's slippers!" We thought this was a coincidence until these kinds of things started happening all the time and putting me and Cerise on notice to watch ourselves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
23. Nash drinks anywhere from 3 to 4 gallons of milk in a week. He doesn't call it "Milk". He calls it "Nash's milk."<br />

<br />
24. Nash really wants to be 8 years old and talks about it all the time.<br />
<br />
"Papa, after 2, I wanna be 8."<br />
"But Nash, after two you will be three."<br />
"Okay..." (Dejected) "..Then after 3 I can be 8!"<br />
"No, after 3 you have to be 4"<br />
"Okay papa..." (really sad)<br />
<br />
<br />
25. Nash is breaking out of his shell more and more. The other day at Autozone Nash walked up to the 24 year old Philippino cashier and said, "Hey! It's me! NASH!"<br />
<br />
<br />
26. Nash loves cereal, but he has to eat it dry in a bowl and separately wash it down with milk.<br />
<br />

27. Nash is obsessed with dinosaurs. His favorite is the Stegosaurus and he loves classifying dinosaurs as Theropods or Sauropods.<br />
<br />
<br />
28. There was a 2-3 week period when Nash referred to himself in third person as "Bryce" or "Ken". He had never met anyone named Bryce or Ken at this point. "Momma, Bryce wants milk!"<br />
<br />
<br />
29. Nash says stuff like this all the time:<br />
<br />
"Mama, I'm not kicking people. I'm being nice - like the Nephites."<br />
<br />
<br />
30. "Hey Mama, Baby Jay (Jay Swift Baker) LOOOOVES DOLPHINS!!!" I confirmed with Bret. Jay doesn't care about dolphins.<br />
<br />
<br />
31. Nash loves talking about Jesus. He sometimes leans over to me during Sacrament Meeting at church really close into my ear and will whisper in the most breathy, ear ticklish way possible, "We're gonna take the Sacrament. Jesus Christ died for us."<br />

<br />
32. I spit during our walk last week and Nash asked me, "Papa, are you going shi-shi from your mouth?" (shi-shi is Japanese for "peepee")<br />
<br />
<br />
33. Nash was worried about Calvin when Calvin had his most recent seizure so he brought Calvin's favorite toys and put them right next to him.<br />
<br />
<br />
34. Nash won't admit that he misses me. He will scream excitedly when I get home and then say, "PAPA! CALVIN MISSED YOU!!!!!" One time Nash told Cerise, "I miss Papa." Cerise told him that he should tell me that, but he responded, "NO WAY!"<br />

35. Nash gets cocky sometimes while playing Memory and grabs two cards and puts them in his pile without flipping them over when he knows they're a match.<br />
<br />
<br />
36. I liked the sound of the name Nash from Nash Skateboards when I was young. Cerise was only willing to name one of our boys Nash if he had lighter hair. When we were pregnant with Calvin, she said she could only picture a dark-haired Calvin and a light-haired Nash. To me it's a miracle that Nash is a little Asian blonde kid!lynn and cerisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00857941280318838067noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961898085584805727.post-48326371622531932572015-03-29T15:53:00.001-07:002015-03-29T17:06:34.811-07:00Nash Can Sleep<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She's an incredible person to spend life with and she's a babe. Here are a few things that make Cerise unique:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Cerise likes to make everything a surprise. Whenever Cerise goes to the store, she gets me a surprise.<br />
<br />
"Honey, I got you a surprise at Albertson's today... a two-pack of Deodorant!"<br />
<br />
"Honey, I got you a surprise at the asian market today... bread!!"<br />
<br />
In her defense, she gets this really fluffy Japanese white bread and it's insane.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Cerise could eat only bread/rolls for the rest of her life and be extremely happy. This also goes for Panda Express.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Think of a 7 year old who really, really loves cotton candy. Cerise loves cotton candy a lot more than that 7 year old.<br />

<br />
4. If it's over 81 degrees, Cerise gets frustrated with everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Cerise's parents are both converts to the Mormon church. Her mom got baptized at 15 in Japan when her grandma talked her Shinto Buddhist parents into letting her get baptized seeing as how Christianity would be a "fad". Cerise's father met a Mormon in the US military and threw away his cigarettes and poured out all of his alcohol after the first time he went to a Mormon church. They met in a singles ward when her dad was stationed in Japan. Now they have 8 kids and advertise the Book of Mormon in Comic Sans font with self-made car magnets in the depths of the anti-Mormon Southern Bible Belt.<br />

6. Cerise has amazing endurance for things like long distance running or home workout DVDs (i.e<br />
Insanity).<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Cerise has absolutely no endurance for giving back massages. This is an example of what happens 90% of the time in our house:<br />
<br />
Cerise: "Hey honey, my back is a little tense. I don't know what it's from."<br />
<br />
Lynn: "Want me to give you a back massage?"<br />
<br />
Cerise: "That might help. Thanks babe."<br />
<br />
(25 minute back massage)<br />
<br />
Cerise: "Oh man, that helped a ton. My lower back feels better and it doesn't hurt when I move my neck now. Thanks so much, honey. Can I give you a back massage?"<br />
<br />
Lynn: "Sure. That'd be rad. Thanks babe."<br />
<br />
(2 minute back massage)<br />
<br />
Lynn: "Honey, are you serious? That was like oooone minute." (laughing really hard)<br />
<br />
Cerise: "Are you kidding me? That was at least ten minutes." (Cerise annoyed by me laughing)<br />
<br />
Lynn: "Okay, 2 minutes. You started at 9:18 and it's 9:20."<br />
<br />
Cerise: "I'm exhausted! Your back is so hard to massage!"<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
8. When Cerise is tired of giving back massages, she goes really hard for the final 5 seconds and then slaps my back as a not so subtle notification that there will be no more back massage.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. When we first got married, I noticed that Cerise wanted to be unified so much to the point that every time I got a new towel that Cerise would change out her towel to match my towel. If I changed to red, green, or tan, she would immediately follow suit. We never talked about this until many months later when I told her, "Honey, it's so cool that you want to be a unified couple so badly that you always match your towel color with mine." Cerise laughed out loud and told me she wanted to make sure our towels matched just in case we had guests use our bathroom.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
10. Cerise loves flan. She usually makes flan in four separate cups and gives me two of the four. I eat one and save one in the fridge. Cerise eats both of hers and saves mine for when I go to work.<br />
<br />
"Honey, did you eat my second flan that I was saving?"<br />
<br />
"Are you serious? I made the flan. You're lucky you got one of them."<br />
<br />
<br />
11. If I'm driving and and ask for a piece of gum, she will unwrap the gum and give me the actual piece of gum so it is as convenient as possible for me. This also goes for taking the cap off of water bottles, unwrapping candy bars, opening the top flap of hot tamales box, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
12. If I vent, it's complaining. When Cerise vents, it's venting.<br />
<br />
<br />
13. Cerise thinks she breaks our vertical blinds more than she actually does. Calvin and I break them sometimes when we play teeball in the house when Cerise is gone. I try to hang them up the best I can (not to be sneaky, but just to try to put them back up like a normal human). When she opens or closes the blinds later on sometimes they fall down and Cerise will say something like, "Oh man, I ALWAYS break these!"<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
14. Despite a decent number of attempts, Cerise has never won a stuffed animal from one of those crane machines.<br />
<br />
<br />
15. Cerise has her own kryptonite. When she is mad at me and wants to stay mad at me, I stop talking and I play Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys after waiting a few minutes. She knows what I'm doing, but she can't resist getting over whatever she is mad about and singing the song (she has the whole thing memorized).<br />

<br />
<br />
16. Cerise loves studying the math portion of GMAT prep books for fun despite not being full-Asian. She and her little brother would study the math portion of her GMAT book all the time when he was living with us last summer. Neither of them were preparing to take the GMAT. Can't make this stuff up.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Don't worry. I'm fully aware how awkward looking white people are when they wear Asian stuff. We stayed at a sweet traditional Ryokan in Hakone, Japan so this was one of my few exceptions to my rule of not wearing Asian stuff.</td></tr>

<br />
17. Cerise feels the responsibility to pull long hairs off of the back of women's clothing for them. I cringe every time and try to convince her not to do it. "No, women appreciate it when other women help them with stuff like this." She thinks she is a lot stealthier than she actually is. One time she pulled a lady's hair and it was a lady's very long ARM HAIR still attached to her arm.<br />
<br />
<br />
18. Cerise saw her first shooting star in July 2014 after countless flashing airplane false alarms.<br />
<br />
<br />
19. Cerise is the best at taking Vanilla ice cream and looking through the pantry and using whatever she can find as toppings to make it look like an amazing sundae. Some of her go-to toppings are pretzels, chocolate chips, peanut butter, cereal (usually corn flakes or rice crispies), etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
20. Two of Cerise's sisters asked her to make their wedding cakes. She did research to figure out how to make fondent and experimented for days on how to make a wedding cake before the first wedding. The second wedding cake request from another younger sister came 4 years after the first one so she basically started from scratch and had to learn how to make a wedding cake again. Her sister requested a "Seashell themed cake with blue and turquoise highlights." Cerise said, "If I'm making your cake, there will be no turquoise highlights." It's challenging enough making a classy seashell themed wedding cake let alone making it in a Residence Inn in Portland, Oregon.<br />

<br />
21. Cerise loves to play Tennis. Cerise especially loves to play Tennis... when I hit it right to her every single time. If I hit it where she isn't, I hear things like, "Honey, you are not being very nice right now!"<br />
<br />
<br />
22. There's a 99% chance that Cerise doesn't care what you think about her.<br />
<br />
<br />
23. Cerise has this itch to paint our house or completely redecorate a room once a year. She has to paint our walls at every apartment we move to no matter how much the apartments charge us when we move. She is beginning to channel this by redecorating/painting a room each time we visit her parents.<br />

24. When I'm driving, Cerise is really nice to bad drivers.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty standard situation: Some guy drives along the shoulder for a quarter mile during stop and go traffic. He tries to get back in and I block him so he can't go in front of me.<br />
<br />
Cerise: "LYNN MARKHAM. You let him in. YOU LET HIM IN NOW."<br />
Me: "But honey, that guy's been passing everyone on the shoulder. I'm not letting him in."<br />
Cerise: "You're being ridiculous."<br />
<br />
<br />
25. Cerise eats canned oysters.. right out of the can.<br />

26. I travel out of the country quite a bit for work and Cerise has never complained once about being home alone with the kids.<br />
<br />
<br />
27. Cerise is Christlike in very many ways, but a few of her many strengths are:<br />
<br />
- Standing up for people who are not present when being talked about<br />
- Being non-judgmental<br />
- Demonstrating fierce loyalty<br />
- Forgiving and forgetting quickly and regularly<br />
- Having unconditional love for me and our kidslynn and cerisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00857941280318838067noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961898085584805727.post-3469789163063493492014-03-20T12:48:00.000-07:002014-03-20T13:43:50.807-07:0026 Things About a 26 Year Old BabeCerise is 26 today. She is such an awesome wife and mother to my children. Below are 26 of the many reasons why I love Cerise.<br />
<br />
1. Cerise stubs her toes on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
2. Cerise still hasn't upgraded her instagram app for the video feature.<br />
<br />
3. Cerise screams like someone just kidnapped our kids when she sees even a small spider. She wasn't a big fan when I hid real looking fake cockroaches around our house after we got married. I'm still surprised that Cerise married me.<br />

</tbody></table>
4. Whenever Cerise watches something scary, she has to follow that up with How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.<br />
<br />
5. Cerise laughs really loud during the most inappropriate parts in movies that you're not supposed to laugh at. The more she's supposed to control her laughter, the less likely it is that she will be able to control it.<br />
<br />
6. When Cerise says, "Honey, we should do the dishes" or "Honey, we should get some more whole milk for Nash at the store"... what she really means is "Honey, do the dishes right now" or "Honey, run and grab some milk for Nash at Albertson's really quick right now".<br />
<br />
Standard conversation 5 minutes after she says, "Let's do the dishes":<br />
<br />
Cerise: "Honey, I asked you to do the dishes."<br />
Lynn: "Sorry babe, I didn't realize you asked me. I just heard you say 'Let's do the dishes.'"<br />
Cerise: "Haven't you figured out in 5 years of marriage that when I say 'Let's do the dishes' that it actually means... 'Do the dishes!'?"<br />
<br />
7. Cerise plans her packing by drawing out her outfits on paper before long trips.<br />

8. Cerise will choose to not listen to a secret if you tell her she probably shouldn't hear it.</div>
You know when people say, "Oh man, I have the craziest secret... but I probably shouldn't tell you..." Cerise will answer that with, "That's fine, if I don't need to know, don't tell me." I'm not making this up.<br />
<br />
9. Cerise is a scrappy, entrepreneurial lady.<br />
She graduated BYU in just 3 years by getting college credits in high school, taking classes in spring and summer, and getting a quick, practical degree (Economics - she graduated with 120.5 credits just over the 120 credit minimum). She worked as a stockbroker right out of BYU and worked weekends by starting up her own little cleaning business. She decided to put flyers on doors at an apartment complex known to house wealthier BYU students (Belmont). So she worked weekdays as a stockbroker and cleaned Belmont apartments on weekends to help support us while I went to school full time and worked part time. She would rather scrub toilets for rich kids her age than potentially take a government handout. After I graduated, she continued to work as a stock broker in Orange County and wanted to take a second job stocking shelves at Wal-Mart while pregnant with Calvin to make a little extra money since I was at work all the time during busy season. I think a lot of wives would complain about the kind of work schedule I had, but she wanted to stock shelves at Wal-Mart while 5-6 months pregnant. I had to work really hard to talk her out of that. After she stopped working to be home with the kids full time, she started teaching swim lessons. She started with just one student and ended up with 27 students last summer with all of her new students coming from referrals.<br />
<br />
10. Cerise is brutally honest.<br />
I was in Japan for work just after Nash had turned one. Cerise told me that Nash had just taken his first steps as he walked closer to the phone. I got really excited since I was on speaker thinking that Nash had taken his first steps since he wanted to be closer to my voice. So when I asked, "Honey, is Nash trying to walk to the phone because he wants to talk to me??" She replied with zero hesitation, "Nope, he just wants to play with the phone." She's not even kidding nor is she trying to be mean. She was just telling it like it is.<br />
<br />
11. Cerise watched a Youtube video on how to properly fold men's suits. Now she folds my suits nicely for me when I go on trips.<br />
<br />
12. Cerise is good at drawing fake muscles.<br />
Cerise ran into the bathroom, came back with some kind of makeup item, and within 40 seconds of Calvin wiggling the whole time gave him real looking muscles.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
13. When I ask Cerise if there is anything she wants me to work on as a husband she usually thinks for a minute and says something like, "Honey, you're a really good husband. I can't think of anything right now." When she gets really mad at me though, the floodgates open. A few months ago she got really mad at me for leaving the little caps of my LASIK eye drops on the counter (the preservative free eye drop capsules with the lids that pop on and off - if you've had LASIK then you know what I'm talking about). Calvin would knock them off the counter and then Nash would find them and put them in his mouth. She got really mad and made a list of 33 things that drive her crazy about me. I laughed the entire time she was furiously creating the list because they were all true. Her list and the way she posted it reminded me of Martin Luther and his 95 Theses.<br />
<br />
14. Cerise laughs really loud while watching TV shows by herself.<br />
<br />
15. Cerise is not a phone talker. I have to make up crazy stories or swear to get her to stay on the phone for more than 2 minutes. In her defense, she's a lot better with Skype.<br />

<br />
16. Cerise gets really mad when I get rid of any of her multiple tabs saving her spots for her asian drama shows.<br />
<br />
17. Cerise isn't afraid to call people out on stuff.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
18. Cerise has four younger sisters. She loves to boss them around. She also has three brothers that she likes to boss around.<br />

<br />
19. Cerise likes really bad action movies.<br />
<br />
20. Cerise could have been driving a Porsche Cayenne right now.<br />
Cerise had knee surgery a few months after Calvin was born to fix her torn ACL. The anesthesiologist anesthetized the wrong knee so she woke up (they put her under general anesthesia during the surgery) in severe pain with her operated knee and her other knee completely numb. The anesthesiologist quickly figured out her mistake and avoided documenting that she had performed a femoral nerve block. The nurses after the surgery treated Cerise her like she was a total wimp because she wasn't able to stand on her "good" leg. They didn't see anything on her chart by the anesthesiologist. Her surgery was supposed to be an out-patient surgery, but we had to stay in the hospital overnight until the femoral nerve block had completely worn off on her good knee. They don't allow you to leave until you can support yourself on crutches using your non-operated leg. Many of our friends and acquaintances have told us that we could have sued for a significant amount of money since they numbed the wrong leg and then tried to cover it up. They then tried to bill our insurance for absurd amounts of money for our overnight stay in the hospital. We kindly pointed out that the only reason we stayed overnight for an outpatient surgery was because of their mistake which they tried to cover up. I left it up to Cerise and she decided not to sue because that anesthesiologist most likely would have lost her license. Cerise doesn't believe that people should sue just because they can sue.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
21. Cerise has a pretty solid right hook. Whenever I call her out on something funny that she feels embarrassed about, she gives me a bunch of dead arms. She starts hitting harder because I laugh harder each time she punches my arm.<br />
<br />
22. Cerise defends people from gossip even if she doesn't like the person she is defending.<br />
<br />
23. Cerise does her best to respect and preserve her Japanese heritage.<br />

24. Cerise is really good at magnifying her callings. She heart attacks less active girls in the primary class we teach and mails birthday cards to the kids. For our mock MTC activity, Cerise went crazy with it and made high quality name badges, sent exact replicas of the mission calls, and contacted all of the parents. We ate pizza, had them teach fake investigators (friends in our ward), learn basic Spanish phrases, and had them call my older brother who was pretending to be Mexican.<br />

25. Cerise loves hanging out in her swimsuit all day, but tries to make it seem like it hasn't been all day. This is a typical exchange during the summer when I get home from work at like 7 p.m.:<br />
<br />
Me: "Honey, have you been in your swimsuit all day?"<br />
Cerise: "Nah, I just went and swam laps a bit ago."<br />
Me: "Didn't you go swim laps at like 9 a.m. while Becky watched the kids for a bit?"<br />
<br />
<br />
26. Cerise is an amazing wife and mom.<br />

It either looks like she had been posing for like 18 seconds or she is calmly holding a boulder with her right hand. Surprisingly enough, neither of those were the case.</td></tr>

I reached to grab the new container to open it up and she said, "Hey, let's leave it unopened for a while." In the meantime, she had opened the container and was eating just the middle part so the sides of the container looked like there was Nutella all the way up. I laughed uncontrollably when I discovered her dirty little secret. In her defense, there have been countless times when I finished off ice cream or Oh's cereal without telling her.</td></tr>

Keep in mind this girl had divorced parents and played them both to get thousands of dollars of clothes. The girl had a point though. Black AND maroon at the same time? Come on, Cerise.</span></div>

carpooled, we just drove close to each other on the freeway) to work since we worked like 2 miles away from each other and she got off
5 hours before me. So these dudes in a work truck were driving next to her
and yelling to get the attention of my 5 month pregnant wife. She didn’t even
notice they were there. They kept yelling and I drove up next to those guys and
started yelling at them. Not my proudest moment. They said, “What’s your problem?
Is that your wife or something? (Sarcastically)” I said, “Yes, it is my wife.
(Swear words) and I'm going to call your company.” They started swerving in and around traffic to get away from me
thinking that I was going to write down the number on the back of their work
truck and report them to their company. The best part is that Cerise had
absolutely no idea that any of this happened until I told her.</span></div>

We made Christmas cards for the first time ever. We hope to send out Christmas cards for the first time ever next year. Since my birthday is January 1st, I asked Cerise if we could have Happy New Year on the back. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I asked if we could make it a Where's Waldo Happy New Year and she said no. Then I reminded her how great the Where's Waldo at the beach was and so she agreed. I think she mainly agreed knowing we weren't going to actually send them out this year. S'all good. </div>

We gave Yoshibaby his first major haircut. Cerise has trimmed his hair in the past, but he has been growing his baby hair mop for a while now. We wanted to grow it out past the awkward phase, but we decided to just cut it down before growing it out again.<br />

Cutting a baby/toddler's hair is challenging. He stabbed his toy shark with a comb for 15 minutes straight and that helped, but little man gets wiggly. If anyone has any pointers about cutting the hair of small humans, we are all ears.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Also, Cerise's younger brother Samuel finishes his mission at the beginning of June. So we're using most of our vacation days to go to Japan for two weeks to visit grandma and pick up Samuel from his mission. This is going to be aaawesome.</span></div>

Video above: Little man meeting great grandma for the first time on skype. (The best is how cerise's grandma doesn't realize that her skype is programmed to start up whenever she turns on her computer. It's magical to her that Cerise just has a knack for knowing exactly when she sits down at her computer. She will say things like, "Wow! I just got on my computer and then you appeared! How did you know I was here?")</div>

Yep, I grew a mustache for "Movember" like everyone else. My firm held a mustache contest for all the associates in California, Arizona, and Nevada... and I got second place! Second the best, baby. I lost to a friend who can grow a Tom Selleck-esque 'stache in four days so I felt pretty good about the whole thing.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure I couldn't grow a serious mustache until my son was born. I think it might be a dad thing. I've also started eating grape nuts for breakfast and using sensodyne toothpaste. Just kidding... no, but seriously.<br />

Unfortunately, Cerise was serious when she told me she wouldn't make out with me until I shaved it off because it was too scratchy. <span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Dang man.

This post is a little late seeing how Thanksgiving is this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Halloween was Calvin's first. And sadly, Lynn was in Hawaii for work, so we had separate Halloween activities. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back at the last couple years, our costumes have always been thrown together last minute by whatever we had around the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another year, I threw a glittery scarf around my head and tried to pull off being Arabian royalty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Same year,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lynn+black clothes+white chalk+leaves pinned to his body=wind. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish we had a picture of that halloween.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, Calvin and I went to the ward trunk or treat. I cheated as usual and put on a Japanese yukata (summer kimono) and calvin went as Domo.</div>

Domo is a japanese character quickly becoming popular in america. He started off as a mascot to NHK a japanese tv station. Not unlike the peacock for NBC. He became so popular he now has his own TV show; but is better known here as a teenage clothing fad.<br />

Our firm got Friday off so Cerise took the day off as well to hang out as a family. I asked her what she wanted to do and she said, "Well, first we could go to Baby H&M..." When you do accounting stuff all day you kinda daydream about doing something a little more epic with your time off like driving up the coast to camp at Big Sur for the night, but Baby H&M was my second thing that came to mind. Also, if you blur your eyes a little it kinda looks like he's wearing a joke mullett wig.</div>

Cafe Rio! You probably guessed it right if you're Mormon since Cafe Rio is an amazing cafeteria style Mexican restaurant chain that started in Utah. This location is in Costa Mesa and if you've never been there make sure you go try it out. The sweet pork will blow your freaking mind.</div>

Calvin loved watching the huge bubbles created by this really nice old guy. We didn't realize until after a few bubbles that he had a thing on the ground for money. We would have totally given him a dollar or two, but we didn't have any cash on us so we left before it got to "You guys better pay for all of these bubbles" time. </div>

Cerise was trying to get a picture of me having Calvin burst the bubble by kicking it before it hit the ground. The camera phone is delayed so you have snap it a second before you want it to take the photo. So instead, it looks like I'm one of those football dads who is trying to force his 16 week old kid to walk so he can learn how to run and hit even sooner. Wait, it doesn't look like the football dad? Just a cute dad and balding son picture?</div>

She is like a girl version of my cousin marcus when it comes to falling asleep. If I have to study late, she likes when I study in our bedroom because she doesn't like going to bed alone. So while I'm up late studying for midterms, finals, or CPA exams I'll hear her just start talking in her sleep. I usually just respond like what she's saying makes complete sense and then I type our conversations in a word document on my laptop. I ended up with like 7 of these word docs so I figured this would be a good place to organize them. These aren't supposed to be clever or funny, they're just things she has said in her sleep. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I don't know how often we'll actually update, but we finally took the first step.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Life right now is as good as it gets- both of us working, Cerise 39 weeks along, and Lynn studying for the CPA after his first busy season with PwC. We are anxiously awaiting the (hopefully relatively easy going) debut of Calvin Yoshikazu Markham. Or if Lynn has his way, Nash Magic Markham.<br />
<br />
By the way, happy cinco de mayo!</div>lynn and cerisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00857941280318838067noreply@blogger.com0
