I cannot resist.... Guess who this is on the floor.

Who might this be? As we were playing guitar hero, someone was out cold in the back of the room.

Happy Holidays!

Richard's Jung Family Christmas Pictures

Richard sent us a link to his pictures from Christmas at the Chris Louie's house and the Jung's Christmas party at Jr's house. Here's the link:

Here's the 3 pictures that I took at Chris's party.

We are back and it's snowing!

We just returned from sunny California and what does Mother Nature have for us? A winter wonderland. It's great and all until you need to drive around in the Honda accord. Luckly, we have the SUV to drive in to get our lattes and fast food. Right now, the cats and Kristen are huddled around the wood stove for heat.

It was great to be with the family during the holidays, especially this one. We ate good, spent time with friends and family (especially the new babies: Cameron, Zoe, and Kyle) , and learned how to play guitar hero 3! Happy New Year to all!

Thanks to all for attending dad's funeral

A tough day for us to send off dad, but it was great to see the family and friends he knew and lives he touched.
Jen and I spoke. His was more the light hearted, mine was the tear jerker (because I couldn't stop crying during the speech), followed by Dougie, Auntie Dot, and two of his Chi-Y friends. It was great to hear about dad. After the speeches, the honor guard presented mom with the flag.

The day, even though scheduled for rain, was clear for the burial and the longevity luncheon food and service was quite good as well. At the end, Jen and I toasted dad and thanked all for attending.

Yesterday, the honor guard & military chaplain met us and Uncle George & Auntie Nancy at the gravesite to give a gun salute for dad. They could not make it on Monday, so we asked they come wed. We knew dad would have liked that and as one of the honor guard told the audience, he was a Colonel, on rank below a General and deserved a full honors burial.

Thanks to all that could be there to attend. For the others not abroad or unable to attend, we appreciate your kind words and support. To see a larger slideshow of dad, here's the link: http://www.kristenandstevewong.com/Genson_Wong.html

Mary, Jen, Steve, and Kristen Wong.

Don't you feel like this sometimes?

Don't you feel like this sometimes? :) Doesn't feel like the holidays for the Wong family this year, but the Wongs are strong we see a great 2008 on the horizon.

We hope your holidays are great and we we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Updated: Slideshow of Dad

Hi all,
In memory of dad, here is a slideshow of how we remember him. We will miss him greatly. If you have any pictures you would like to add, please send them to me. I have added more pictures we found in the garage.

Col. Genson Wong 1933-2007

Hello all,

If you were not aware, our dad had been recently diagnosed with cancer and, today, passed on. It was a shock to us and it's not been a day yet, but we still cannot imagine our father passing away. We all have happy memories about dad. His whistling when he was happy, or telling you if you wanted a "knuckle sandwich" when you were messing around. We will miss him. Here's some memories that we have scanned. There will be more pictures of dad when we have more time.

Thanks to all for their support and help during these last weeks. It's been tough. Great thanks to Tina, Chenin, and Moklan to help out with watching and caring for dad.

The Wongs.

Zoe Renee Jung joins the family

Welcome Zoe Renee Jung to the family! She arrived two weeks early and ready to be a part of the family. She's a cute baby! Congrats to Len and Bheng.

Our 4th Anniversary @ McMenamin's Grand Lodge

Hey all, We survived year four! We celebrated our anniversary at McMenamin's Grand Lodge in Forest Grove, just out of Beaverton. We had a great evening with dinner at the Flat Iron Grill, Movies with beer and tots, and listening to blues music. It was a great time. We're ready for year five! - Steve

Kyle's Red Egg and Ginger Party!

We came down to California over the weekend to attend Angie and David's Red Egg and Ginger party for Kyle. It was great to see everyone and there was a surprise attendee.... Darryl and family from Arizona.

Everyone looked great and were very happy. Len and Bheng are next up. We did miss Kalyee Wong's (Kevin and Monia Wong) Red Egg party at the same time, especially since they had pigs feet. Kristen was not happy to hear about that, but we did go visit with the Wongs in the evening.

Nike Amp+ watch for Ipod and Nike+ Shoes

See my Nike + Runs.

Hi All, Trying out this new functionality of the Nike+ that you can make available your run info via my space, webpage or blog. If you have not joined the Nike+ movement, get on board! It's the best thing since sliced bread. Only Second to Zachary's Pizza and In-N-Out.

Nike Run Hit Remix was the best!

Hey all,

If you were not with Kristen, Dina, and I, you missed a great event. There were thousands of people in red running to some serious old school kick ass music. Playing were: Naughty by Nature ("Hey, Ho, Hey Ho"), Sugar Hill Gang ("The hip to the hop to the hibbiddy"), Dawn from Envogue, Sir Mix-A-Lot ("Baby got back") and then for the Hammer! Blu Cantrell started us off and at the end, Carl Lewis and Serena Williams also came on stage. It was so cool. It was like back in High school.

We ran the whole distance and got back early enough to be real close to the stage. Here's some pictures of Kristen, Dina, and me. We will add more later. We are busy relaxing in Vegas.

Finally, Here comes the Hammer!

Cheers! Steve

Old School Babies: Wong Boys

These are not the latest generation of Wongs, but the old school Wongs. Can you tell who is who?

Penny's 3rd B-day

We just came back from Sac for Penny's 3rd birthday. It was great to see the family and to celebrate Penny's birthday. There were 3 birthday cakes and lots of burgers and hot dogs to go around.

More pictures to be added later.

Kristen's early birthday lunch.

We had lunch with Auntie Nancy, Uncle George, Auntie Pearl, Bheng, Jen, Dad, Mom, Kristen, and I for Kristen's birthday. It's a little early, but good reason to go eat Chinese food. Jen was mad that we ate all the honey walnut shrimp. :)
