Easter Sunday with Family

2011-04-24 Easter Sunday with Family, a set on Flickr.

For Easter, we visited Maria's Mom in Oakland and cooked breakfast. Mom ordered more food from a Chinese restaurant near Fruitvale Avenue. Alex and Heidi came by with baby Ellie, too. What a terrific day.

SF Giants win the NL Pennant in Game 6

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I just wanna relive this moment again and again! Wish I could go to the World Series (traffic coming home is gonna be awful!!!), but in any case, bring it home Giants! Take down the Rangers!

Date Night at Yoshi's with Brian McKnight

Date night! Maria took BART into the city and met me at SFO Airport. We took off to Yoshi's San Francisco on Fillmore and had a TERRIFIC sushi dinner and a 3-dessert sampler (I also had the sake sampler!!!). Then we saw Brian McKnight in the theater from the third row about 5 feet away; he was solo, just him and his piano/guitar for 90 minutes! WOW! What a show—and as you can see, we met him afterward. What a wonderful evening!

And below is a clip I found on YouTube of Brian performing Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed" that he also sang at Yoshi's that night...fantastic!

Here we are at Alex and Heidi's new house in Oakland. They have a wonderful, charming house with a big backyard for my niece, Ellie, to grow-up and play in. Congrats you two...

We had an awesome time last night at AT&T Park to see the SF Giants kick the Baltimore Orioles' butt, 10–2. Then we went to a late night carnival at Lot A and sneaked over to Oakland Chinatown for won ton takeout (hehehe). Got home slightly before midnight...nice.

Happy Birthday, Brandon!

Today is Brandon's birthday...I took the day-off from work and Maria, Nicholas, Brandon, and I went to Lawrence Hall of Science. I haven't been there myself since I was a kid ;-) It was great to have the place all to ourselves, too. We built structures that could withstand heavy shaking, folded paper airplanes, redirected waterflow, learned more about our planet on a video globe (SEE videoclip), and experienced how turning wings in one direction versus another affects flight. We then celebrated at Blue Fin Japanese Restaurant with the whole family. A very fun day!

Brandon competes in Rock Band Contest

A couple weeks ago, Brandon (with a little help from his brother, Cameron) competed in the Playstation Rock Band Contest at Best Buy. The winners split $150 ;-) Even though they didn't win, the two Yee Brothers did GREAT! It was all for charity...the admission fee went to a local high school fundraiser. Notice Brandon all decked out in his "rockstar" duds . Yup, that's an actual bike chain that he's wearing around his neck!! Rock on, Brandon!

Cameron and I saw the Warriors play against the Memphis Grizzlies last night at Oakland Oracle Arena; awesome mainly because we WON! This was taken during half-time...thanks to my friend, Violett, for the tickets. Muchas gracias!

Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies

NOTE from Ryan: Cameron and I are going to see this game tonight...got free tickets from my friend, Violett.

WARRIORS: preview_031508: "Saturday’s contest will be especially important for the Warriors. Two games ahead of the Denver Nuggets for the final playoff spot in the conference going into Friday’s action, Golden State will need to avoid losing streaks at all costs. The Warriors have done a solid job of doing such all season, as they have posted consecutive losses just once since starting the season 0-6.

After seeing their three-game winning streak snapped on Thursday with a 123-115 defeat in Phoenix, the Warriors will be anxious to come back home to ORACLE Arena. Golden State is 22-10 on its home floor this season, and has won each of its last four games there."
