Does anyone, besides me, love that semi-recent Kaiser commercial where there are a bunch of elderly ladies having a blast just living life? The song to the commercial goes something like this…”when I grow up I want to be a very old woman…la la la.” Darn it! Trying to sing in person and… I guess on the blog is still no bueno. Well, I love this song because getting older is a wonderful thing. So instead of dreading growing old, I am embracing it because I want to see my son grow up and have a family of his own. Now that I’ve shared my feelings, let me tell you why. According to the Chinese calendar, Hyunh is celebrating her 75th birthday. Hyunh is not only honored with age, but with an amazing life. I want to get every detail in Hyunh’s life right, so I’m going to cheat a little, and use the story that was emailed to me. Dawn, Hyunh’s daughter-in-law, wrote:

Here’s the deal. All of the trees that had a ribbon attached to it were ripe and okay to pick. Glad they told us that before hand, or then my applesauce would have been tasting like those candies you used to eat in Jr. High, Sour Apple lollipops..jpg "ab1")
Our first stop was a quaint little farm with the cutest country feel. Complete with a southern-style white two-story house, a red barn, and a fat old pig out back..jpg "ab3")
“Toss the worm-holed apples in the crates please. We don’t want them to go to waste,” said the ranch owner. Umm…if you mean won’t go to waste by feeding the wormed-apples to the pigs then okay. Well at least I hope that’s there plan. Ewww.jpg "ab4")
Of course he loved touching the “bad” apples. Ay, little boy!.jpg "ab5")

Caught red handed!.jpg "ab9")

This was the second location, which was much much larger then the first. That meant more photo ops! Yay!.jpg "ab11")
Seriously, I love him…but when I was potty training him this week I just had to keep reminding myself of how his cute face looks when he’s not driving me up the walls. I’m thinking….thanks to these photos, he is now successfully potty trained. . Ha! Ya, ya, ya! .jpg "ab12")

He is just too silly for words..jpg "ab14")
Can you tell he’s a photographer’s son?.jpg "ab15")
