Friday Randomness

my life during the weekdays are lived through my iPhone except i haven't had the chance to upload some the pictures and i'm extremely lazy to walk over to my bed to do it. plus, i hate posting blogs without pictures so, instead, i selected images i've saved in a folder off the computer. this week has been interesting and exhausting. i feel extremely relief now that the audit at work is completed. i feel like a free woman again. 

my boys had the stomach flu this week. imagine, puke galore for two days! it was such a great sight, plus papa dang had to join them as well. i'm thankful evan wasn't sick, but i was expecting him to get hit with the virus, but luckily he didn't come down with it in the end. the little man is hooked on veggie tales. it's the only cartoon he would set his eyes on. i know, that was quite random.

i'm looking forward to the weekend. i want to do a holiday shoot for my boys and hopefully, i'll have time to squeeze in 30 minutes to capture something for them. they're always full of spunk and so easy to capture. i normally take no more than 15 minutes with them. i hardly ever pose them and let them be free. it's a passion for me to capture them through my lens. i encourage all moms to make memories of their kids or life. photography allows me to find that creativity and beauty that happens somewhere in between my crazy life as being a mom.

i live life always trying to create something. it needs to be interesting once in awhile. 
anyways, i hope you're looking forward to the holiday because i sure am!
love my boys, xoxo.

Week 17

I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to know the gender, but perhaps, it was too early to even detect. I read so many online articles and spent numerous hours in bed trying to determine if this pregnancy was at all different than the others. What I really want to say is, I read everything to believe that I was having a little girl. I didn’t vomit. I craved sweets. I just felt nauseous. I eat like there’s no tomorrow. Surprisingly, I’ve only gained a whopping 9 lbs and already feel like a dinosaur.
About a month ago, we went to one of those 3D/4 D ultrasound places to see if they can perform a gender determination on our little bean. The technician didn’t appear to have the ultrasound sonographer skills I was looking for, but for $25 dollars, I figured “why not”. The only reason why I felt that way is because she kept asking for assistance – maybe she was in training – beats me. The entire time my umbilical cord was blocking the private and prevented a nice clear view of the bottom. She had me jump and walked for a few minutes. As I lay back down, she determined it could possibly be a “boy”. Whaaaa? Really? It’s hard to fathom that I’m having another boy, which I know I’ll end up loving in the end, but wow, what are the odds of having four boys in a row.
I went home and have analyzed the sonogram to the tee. For the first time compared to my other three pregnancies, I actually have hope; hope that I am carrying a little princess. We will find out on December 13th for sure and I can prepare for baby #4, my last and final baby. I’m excited and nervous at the same time!  I still can’t believe I’m going to be a mom to my 4th child!
So, how do I feel right now? Fabulous, but there are days where I’m tired, which is fine!
Love my boys. Xoxo.

The Love of My Life

wow, it has been such a long time since i've blogged. i've had my up's and down's because of my pregnancy, but i feel that my morning sickness is long gone (knock on woods) and now it's time to revert back to the good old days!

there are so many things that i want to document and talk about from my every day challenges of being a working mom, sister, and of course, being a wife to my husband. anyways, i've realized with this pregnancy that regardless if it's a "boy", i am ready to call it quits. as much as i love being pregnant and having such a big family, i need to open up a new chapter in my life where i'm not ALWAYS pregnant. if you haven't noticed, i've been pregnant every other year for the past 5 years. my body has taken a toll and i've reached my the highest level of exhaustion anyone could ever imagine, but i'm still going on strong because i love my kids and family to death! i honestly put 110% effort in spending quality time with them. i don't want to fail as a mother. i can't always do things for myself and do allocate certain time out of the day, BUT the majority of my time is dedicated to my family. i believe it's important to teach the core value of family right from the beginning. i vow to make this a point. we are one family and will always stick together as one. 

love my boys. xoxo.

p.s. look at how fast they're growing up. 

meet aiden my 4-year old perfectionist, game/puzzle nerd,
dylan my 3-year old chef,
and...
baby evan my 10-month old eater and mellow jello!

Dear Santa

OK – I’ve convinced my boys that Santa existed and maybe to some parents, this may be wrong. That’s the beauty of being parents because you have the ability to choose how you should raise up your child. In our household, we believe that it’s important to allow our boys to use their imagination and creativity since they’re so young and add a little magic in their life as long as possible! Santa is a fun way to celebrate the season and it wouldn’t be Christmas without Santa.
Honestly, there was a real Santa and if my boys ever decide to ask me one day, I would tell them his name is Saint Nicholas and he was serving Jesus in a way that all mankind should. He gave children presents and he was real – sometimes people don’t have to be dressed and look like Santa to be Santa –
I love that my boys know it’s Christmas and everywhere we go – they would point out “mom, Christmas”, “mom, Santa”, “mom, look”, “mom, when is Santa coming. Does he know I’m good”….
We had Aiden write a letter to Santa again this year. He decided to get fancy and switch marker colors with every single letter. Papa Dang was a little irritated over the fact that I agreed to let him write the letter when it was past his bedtime. I made a promise that I wouldn’t dare to break. I know, I messed up, but still, I couldn’t break his heart.
Honestly, it was taking Aiden forever since he’s a perfectionist. He would open one marker, cap it to the back, write, then recap it, and picks up the next color. He did that several times before we told him to leave all the markers cap open and pick the colors he want to use next. It was hilarious.
Here’s a video that was capture that night:


If you watch it – Aiden is bilingual and speaks Vietnamese and English. He speaks mostly in Vietnamese to his brothers. You can hear Dylan in the background asking for help then approaches his brother. Aiden tells him he’s writing and he did it all by himself and if Dylan needed help he would show him. Dylan said he didn’t know how and Aiden agreed to assist. They’re SOOOOOOO cute, I love hearing them talk.


Love my boys. XOXO.

my oven is baking - round 4.

OOOOO MMMM GGGGGG.

oh my gawd.

yes, i know, i'm pregnant with my fourth baby. how did this happen besides the fact that my husband needs to pick up a different hobby? well, this pregnancy was planned after all and i didn't know it would only take a month to get me knocked up. i'm fertile myrtle. i have to admit i feel fortunate that i am. it has always been our dream to have a least four kids, but i know my husband has always wanted six. he will need to find another wife to carry his two additional children. just kidding. although, it feels just like yesterday that i broke the news about being pregnant with my first baby. 

here are some questions i got when i made the announcement - 

are you guys crazy.
wow, your house is going to be crazy.
are you hoping for a girl?
are you done having kids?

no, we're not crazy. 
yes, our house will be crazy.
yes, i'm hoping for a girl, but would love to be blessed with a healthy baby.
yes (for now), i can't say i'll stop procreating just yet. 

honestly, each kid is a separate universe with their own set of personality and fears. my parenting view has grown so much since i've had my boys and it has expanded exponentially. with each kid, i've grown to be more tired, but at the same time more content. it's a very complicated life filled with rewards, but i believe i was born to be a mother. they're everything to me and i wouldn't bring them into this world if i knew i couldn't handle them.

stay tuned for more details on my pregnancy. i need to rest now, but enjoy the pictures.

this picture cracks me up. it looks like baby batman (evan) is praying. is it "baby sister", "brother", "sister"  .......
i guess you'll have to wait another month to find out!

love my boys. xoxo.

Flu Shot + Fever

My poor baby batman caught the fever as a reaction to his flu shot he received on Monday. I decided to work from home today to watch him. I love that he’s attached to me though. Again, all three boys have been attached to me. He’s the reason why my arms are toned. I’ll hold him, throw him in the air, fly him like an airplane ….. He’s quite a character!  For someone who loves food more than anything, he barely ate any solids today or drank his milk. I hope he gets better soon. I hate seeing my poor baby like this. Not only does it make me exhausted and sleep deprived, I just want him back to his chubby wubby self. He vomited so much today – it was a hell house, but papa dang and I remained calm. It’s only temporary. The bug will go away………
Love my boys. XOXO.
This picture of baby batman was taken a week ago on my iPhone.

Learning it the Right Way...

 ....Right From the Beginning"

Yup, that’s Waterworks Aquatics motto.
Drowning – the word that comes across my mind as a parent. I knew it was important to enroll our boys into swim school. Drowning as you know is the one of leading cause of death that happens unintentionally. I knew I had to take precautionary measure to ensure this doesn’t happen to any of our boys. I want them to be strong swimmers but am not looking for them to swim competitively unless they find an interest in it.
Our boys are currently enrolled in semi-private lessons at Waterworks Aquatics. It’s not cheap to send them here, but the pools are built specially for training and kids. They have a shallow end for kids to play before their lessons. We normally arrive 30 minutes before their lesson time to allow them to warm up in the water. The pools are super warm and I like that they have both indoor and outdoor pools. Must I add that this facility is CLEAN. Also, the training is very structured and routine making it easy for our boys to learn. They’ve been going here since July. Although, Dylan knew how to hold his breath in the water at 1.5 years old and is a stronger swimmer than Aiden, Aiden has better technique and knows how to follow directions when told by his instructor. Both have their own ways, but I hope they continue to build the endurance to become strong swimmers and make mama proud!

Their lessons are always on Tuesday evening - too bad Dilly was sick today. Tonight, it was all Aiden.
If you have kids, I highly recommend this swim school.
Love my boys. XOXO.

(I'll post videos later tonight)

Builders of Tomorrow

I made our boys dinner last night and while they sat on the dining table to feed themselves, I told them the quicker they finish the sooner I would play with them. I was planning to read them a story time book or play hide n seek, but found some unopened lego bricks from a birthday party we recently attended. I figured this is what we would do tonight for a good 30 minutes. As I reorganized their bookshelf (I like their books organized by height – tallest to smallest) and watching evan devour his plush buzz, I hear my two little boys running up the stairs.
“Ok, boys, it is lego time”.
Sometimes I’ll let my boys get creative and build whatever they want with their lego bricks, but tonight, we were following directions that came along with the package. Aiden is really good at using his thinking skills to build the lego and has always been a fan. We typically buy him a set so we could build together if we’re at the mall. I love how lego allows my boys to develop their motor skills because they have to interlock two bricks together or maybe more. It also forces them to get creative, too!
They both had fun building their own duck and horse.
I always make it a point to have playtime with my boys every single day. It gives me an ideal opportunity to fully engage with my boys. There are days where my tired, but I know they need me and despite all the benefits that derive from play, I make sure it’s on my to-do list because play is essential to my boy’s development. I’ve said it before and will say it again; I would never have kids if I knew I couldn’t take care of them.
Love my boys. XOXO.

Batman Live | Honda Center

my batman, if you can guess, aiden saw the advertisement on the billboards as we're driving on the road one day and asked if batman was coming. of course, i told him there's a show and batman was planning to be there. so from there on out, he kept asking me when he would be able to go and when is batman coming. he would ask EVERY SINGLE day to the point where it was driving me crazy. he would ask, i would answer, followed by his famous line "why". he basically had to earn his ticket to the show. we've developed a point and money system. the batman live was done with a point system and i set a point of 10 that had to be earned. if he was good or completed one of his assigned task(maybe finished eating, putting his plate in the sink, playing with his brother, etc) he earned 1 point. 

anyways, he earned his way to the show. i tried to do the BOGO tickets through Food4Less and it was a total failure. I went there twice and the customer service managers didn't have a clue about their own advertisement. i became frustrated and spoke to their store manager, who in turned had a better knowledge of the deal. apparently, they had a system glitch which prevented the voucher from printing out. so, i was basically shutdown. the good thing is that when i purchased the tickets at Honda Center, i bought the cheapest one and got upgraded to the first section up from the floor for free. the arena was empty and they basically moved everyone down, but never advertised it (think dollars in terms of profit).

the show itself is great for kids. the characters were true to their comic book adaptions. the first half was very slow and picked up in the second half. the use of the cinema screen with the sets was really good. i found humor in the fight scene and believe there needs to be an improvement to make it more of a believable combat. aiden LOOOVED the show unlike dilly and evan. Dilly found every excuse to leave after the first half (he had to go pee, he's hungry, etc). I think he got bored. Evan ... well, he's a baby and survived the show without taking his nap.

Love my boys. XOXO.

Triple S: Super Sitter Sister

of course, there are days where my boys think i'm weird especially aiden. but, it's AOK because when you're yourself it's really ok and to be honest, i think it's COOL. as much as i hate giving them up for a few hours, i really had to today to attend my college friend's wedding. i wanted them to be out and about, so i phoned up my sister tina and her boyfriend to take them out miniature golfing at boomers. they had such a great time that i didn't stop hearing about it. i don't know what tina gave them, but the image below is what she posted after they came home. i love that they were being themselves and never taking things seriously. it made me somewhat proud of myself because i taught them never to give a hoot about what people think as long as you're in the right environment to do so. plus, it's part of the secret to a happy life where you make choices and people shouldn't based their friendship on who they think you should be. it's an essential thing in life.... who cares what people think!

thanks again uncle and auntie stinky for taking care of my boys.

love my boys. xoxo.

Let Me Tell You ....

it's one thing to send off two of your not-so-little anymore babies to school (breaks my heart that they're growing up), but it's another to be able to pick them up. aiden and dilly had a pizza party at their school today. for a whopping $3 dollars, they had a slice of pizza, chips, and gatorade. i made it home from work and waited patiently in the car with baby batman (evan) until the guards opened up the gate so we could walk to pick up big brother aiden and dilly.

i love it that my boys smile when they see me pick them up. their smiles never cease to brighten up my day. i truly miss them when i'm at work for most of the morning and afternoon. gawd, call it major separation anxiety!!! but, i make it a point to try my best to pick them up as i promise them.  it was especially hard for dilly when he first started preschool (which I will blog sometime this week), but i wanted him to build trust in his teachers and know that i would return as promised. 

it has been a true blessing to have three little boys in my life. i'm looking for my little dia. where is she? haha.

love my boys, xoxo.

Labor Day | Huntington Beach

it was a sizzling day. i could have fried an egg outside, well, not exactly, but it was hot. of course, whenever we get the chance we always head to the beach. we were lucky to find a parking spot right near main street. aiden and dilly rode their scooters, while i pushed evan on the stroller. i always want to walk the pier and that's exactly what we did before we headed down to the sand. it was extremely packed today. we had several onlookers stare at us and some stopped to tell us how cool our boys look in their speedos. i totally agree with their comments. haha. i'm just sayin'. i can't get over how good dilly is on the scooter. he's SOOO good and learned on his own. he weaves in and out and even around aiden. he's amazing! he would scare you at the speed in which he goes - aiden, on the other hand, is a decent rider, but can't be compared to dilly. 

 as we made it down the flights off stairs on to the sand, papa dang and dilly buried aiden. dilly would never in a million years get down and dirty (for now). he's a clean-freak. it took awhile before he was able to step his foot onto the sand. it's a good thing he loves the water. i spent time with evan on the sand and occasionally took him out into the water ..... dilly and aiden played with each other and papa. they didn't want to leave after two hours at the beach! i love days like this and would never trade it for the world. it brings solace, memories, warmth, and continues to inspire me to be a mother. i want to grow with my family and show our boys that they have my support. together we are a family that will grow, love, learn, and build. it's this force that will make us powerful. 

 love my boys. xoxo

The Deluxe Wash By Yours Truly

the month of august has been extremely hot in southern california. it was one of those days where i decided we should stay home in our igloo (AC is always on full blast). my boys love being entertained and since the carwash guy was supposed to come and never showed up, i solved the problem, by entertaining the idea of allowing my boys to wash my car! when i asked them if they wanted to go outside to help mama wash the car, they were beyond delighted.  you can hear "me! me! me! yay!" well, they love being outside. sure, they gave my car a deluxe wash (yeah right). besides the fact that aiden got dilly completely wet (making dilly extremely irritated), it was definitely a fun activity. 

love my boys. xoxo.

La Jolla Shores


we took our boys down to la jolla shores to celebrate their uncle's (my bro-in-law's) 34th birthday. we didn't stay for the nightlife obviously with three boys, but we did enjoy our time at the beach. it was my second time in la jolla. my first time here was back in college when i went to listen to a final fantasy concert (concert tour featuring music from the video game) in san diego and my friend and i stopped in la jolla for dinner.  this beach is very family-oriented and calm, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite, although it had such a beautiful view just like many others. there were tons of seaweeds and kelps in the water unlike huntington beach where our family normally goes to. dilly did not like the seaweed at all.  after all, we had an extremely awesome time. in general, our family loves everything about a day at the beach. we would never say "no" .....

we headed back home after we dine at the overhyped "phil's bbq" ....

overall, it was a nice day spent with my boys.

love my boys. xoxo.

California Adventure | Cars Land



Disney California Adventure had it's grand opening of Cars Land about a month ago. We wanted to avoid the craziness of the theme park during this time, but this week, we decided to give it a shot, in hopes, that the lines would be shorter. Keep in mind, we're basically here every Friday (just about). So, we got here early to catch the Aladdin show and waited patiently for the show to start until they announced that it was cancelled due to technical difficulty. You can already guess, the crowd had unstoppable booing .... and we left with a little giggle and disappointment.


We headed towards Cars Land. I was amazed. I loved everything about it. I love how Radiator Springs was re-created. Of course, DIsney never fails to disappoint! It was pure fantasy! As much as I love detail, this place was full of details from the movie. The restaurants and gifts shops were beautifully done. I can't ever get over how Disney immerses you with a good mood feeling ALL the time. They're so good at it and they've definitely did it again as I walked through Cars Land with my family.


We spent about 4 hours at the theme park .....


It's something our kids look forward to every Friday and surprisingly I do too! 


Love my boys. XOXO.

I'm Back.


that's it! i've said it before, but i'm ready to start releasing my blog. it started tonight. i went through my camera and realized i have about three memory cards filled with pictures that needs to be uploaded. i realized that i haven't blogged in the past four months! but, rest assure, i have hidden blogs that i haven't released. i've been juggling my time being a mother, wife, sister, and friend. it's hard at times and i realized patience is the key. i've been working hard to get my pre-pregnancy body back as well. i try to dedicate an hour, 3 to 4 times a week to myself by participating in yoga. it's pretty awesome. if i can't take care of myself, there's no way i could take care of my kids. i need the energy and strength. i hope you're doing the same, too, whether you have kids or not. please don't give up one yourself. you just have to believe and make time even though it may seem nearly impossible.


besides, i always find creativity and beauty that happens in between motherhood and my crazy life. a mother is who i am and what i am most proud of. i can't even recall how life was like without my kids. everything i used to do (before i had kids) was pushed to the back burner from piano, dance class, photography (besides taking pictures of my babies), etc. these little people you see above are my top priority along with my husband.  when i look at batman (aiden), robin (dilly), and baby batman (evan), it feels like time sped up a little quicker than the day before. one day, i know there will be more time for me, but for now, i want it to be about my little men. you read it right. it's ALL about my men!


love my boys. xoxo.

Cinderella Carriage | Seaport Village

We were on our way home from lunch. It was one of those weekends where we didn't have anything planned for the evening. Our weekends are normally jammed pack with events to attend but for the first time in awhile, we had it free and couldn't figure out what to do. We're a family where we like to do things on the weekends rather than to stay home since we're home for the most part Monday through Thursday. We like to try to do things with our boys and it could be from simple to spontaneous. 

Today, we decided to head down to San Diego for the evening. We wanted to visit Balboa Park, but instead decided to go on the Cinderella Carriage ride around San Diego. It benefited our boys. They love that they we were being strolled around by a horse. I told them it's like the movie Cinderella and they're my little prince. Our driver (aka our tour guide) was pleasant and gave us a good amount of history about San Diego. I love listening and learning about history, but never found it as exciting in school. It's more enjoyable when it's being told like a story. 

Our little boys were in so much awe. 

I couldn't tell you how much I love my life and what it means to do things with my family. I want to set the foundation with Papa Dang to build our family. It takes a lot of work just like anything else. But, I figured I'll be doing it right from the beginning. You have to start them young as in young I mean, when they take their first breath of air. Knowingly knowing that one day, our boys will make their own choices in life and if they know right from wrong, hopefully, they would make the right choices without suffering from the consequences. By spending time together whether it be at home or not, it's the only way I can teach them the core. In our household, I make it a key to minimize conflicts and to maximize learning. 

Again, it was definitely a nice little getaway for the evening with our boys. We did stroll around Seaport Village after our ride. They have a nice little band that plays in the area. It was soothing to hear. Papa Dang and I are starting to love the life in downtown areas.

Love my boys. XOXO.

Griffith Observatory | Los Angeles, CA

We were supposed to take off to Santa Barbara and San Francisco for 4th of July weekend, but postponed it. Earlier today, I took my three boys with me to my office in El Segundo. Dilly had cracked my work laptop screen by accident the day before and I had to get something done. He does everything for me, which is very thoughtful. So, it was understandable. After I took care of some business, I headed home to pick up my husband, cousin, and sister in OC to head out to Hollywood. We started off at Hollywood / Highland and ended up at the Griffith Observatory! We haven't been here in ages and this was our kids first time!


I told them they were here to see the stars high in the sky. They were flabbergasted. I love how easily entertained they can be, but the best part was helping them learn. I love turning a play adventure into an educational one!


The best thing about visiting the Griffith Observatory is that it's free. You can see the hollywood sign and a spectacular / expansive view of Los Angeles. I love the experience and the exhibits are very interactive. I swear, I could spend an entire day here learning about astronomy. We didn't catch the planetarium show, which is just about all you pay for here. We waited in line outside on the rooftop where they house an enormous telescope. The line was a bit long, but worth the wait. Too bad Papa Dang saw nothing in the telescope. The employees appear to be extremely passionate and kept their explanation simple to understand. It was very informative.


One of my favorite display were the chunks of meteorites that have fallen to earth, which caused some catastrophic events! I always love to learn and gaining knowledge is powerful. Papa Dang had to listen to me rave and exclaim the awesomeness of this place. 


I love my family and every chance I get I love spending it with them. As long as you make the most of it, you're living in the moment.


Love my boys. XOXO.







Hollywood Walk of Fame

It was such an awesome experience and our kids first time at Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

They were amazed to meet some of the characters (batman, superman, buzz, bubble-bee from transformer, etc), which of course they believed were real. These impersonators basically crowded the sidewalk and would let you take pictures for a tip.... more to come tomorrow.

Father's Day - Like Father Like Son

My husband doesn't like much and it doesn't take much to make him happy.

I didn't know what to get him, but I figured something meaningful would be worth a million bucks, if not more. I had my friend make the shirts for me the day before Father's Day. Our little boys were able to sport them just in time for the celebration. I normally shower and dress our boys so Papa Dang was in for the surprise. He smirked and smiled when Aiden walked downstairs to tell him he "rocked" and to check out the back of his shirt. I thought it was so cool to show off how much papa dang means to us in this form .....

Honestly, Papa Dang is an amazing father, friend, and husband! He sacrifices so much for us and takes great pride in caring for our family. At his center, he knows and understands his role. He's loving, caring, compassionate, and may I add, religious. He's our hero and still makes time to do the things he loves without interfering into our family time together. He normally does everything he enjoys when we're all sound asleep. He never ever complains about anything, which never cease to amaze me. 

Today, he's extremely worthy of an honor for what he does for us, even though it may appear that we're not always thankful, but we truly are. We wouldn't make it without his support and love.

Together, we make one awesome family. 

We love you Papa Dang!

Love my boys. XOXO.

Happy Birthday, Batman!

Dear Batman.

I've been busy these past few days and finally found time to write you your birthday letter. In my eyes, it's never too late. I just have to say that you're still the same. You love to say "remember mom" "remember how such and such". Well, son, remember this sign? I bought this sign last year for you. It says to "follow you dreams". I know your dream right now is probably to be batman, but that's OK. i want you to continue to follow your dreams until you find what you're passionate about one day. DREAM BIG.


i want you to know that i'm doing my best to raise you up. i want you to be a good person and hopefully one day, you'll tell me this:

because ....




as you continue to take these walks in life ...



don't ever forget to laugh and dream....

































especially to dream ...............





























because ...... (maybe not the drink wine part yet)







































please know that ....






































i know "A" is for "Aiden", but "A" is also for awesome. you are awesome in my eyes! i will never forget how awesome you were when you made me cry. it was in a good way and it happened about a month ago. i took you to the mall and noticed you fell asleep in the back. i tapped you on your leg to tell you we're at the apple store and asked why you didn't nap at school earlier. you responded "mom, i didn't nap at school today. i didn't want to. i worked hard so i can show u my work". i remembered grabbing onto you. i whispered i love you in your ears. thanks for making me proud - proud that i've raised you into a good person and thank you for thinking of me. 


















4 years ago today, i welcomed you into my life with open arms. i was scared of everything from being a mom to being hospitalized! today son, i would suffer in as much pain just to have you in my life. i would do anything and everything for you. you have made me so proud. 


now, it's time for you to continue to chase your dream and have fun being a kid.












































even if your dream is to be a mini-adam west. i love you and happy birthday. xoxo.
