eemos.

eemo is the korean word for aunt -- specifically an aunt that is your mother's sister (your father's sister is called gomo). your mother's female cousins are also your eemos, and your mother's close girlfriends are also often called eemos.

choi boy is super duper lucky to have two very special eemos close by: choi boy's one and only true eemo (my gorgeous and totally awesome sister) and his baby eemo (my adorable and incredibly sweet cousin. fun fact -- she is the youngest grandchild and i am the second oldest grandchild. i grew up babysitting for her, and now she is cb's go-to babysitter. so sweet!). his eemos are so hip and cool and they adore him.

and choi boy?

well, choi boy just loves his eemos and thinks they are the bomb diggity. or is it "diggities" in this case? whatevs, you get the point -- he really loves them!

no, really! he *does* love them. :)

see, he gazes lovingly into their eyes.

or maybe he's gazing lovingly into the cup of frozen yogurt? hmm...jury's out on this one.

Photobucket
he *does* love that froyo.

anyway.

it's so fun to watch cb and his eemos. they are so obsessed in love with their one and only nephew and cb just loves hanging out with them.

i mean, what guy wouldn't love hanging with two beautiful girls that follow you around and totally fawn over you?

and who wouldn't want to play with a grown up that does things with you that make your momma freak out?

i'm pretty sure i was shrieking, "make sure his arms don't pop out of their sockets! that really happens!!"

i'm fairly certain choi boy will be hitting up his eemos in the future and begging them to take him to get a tattoo or get his ears pierced or do some other crazy shenanigans that his momma will freak out about.

oh boy.

i'm just not going to think about that right now.

we'll just stick with frozen yogurt and sunshine for now.

love you, eemos!

  1. "make sure his arms don't pop out of their sockets! that really happens!!" - made me burst out laughing. I would totally be saying the same thing!

  3. first of all....everyone in your family is just gorgeous! second...i too worry about the whole arm pooping out of the socket as it happened to a kid that glenn was keeping an eye on years ago. glenn went to walk one way and the kid went the other and POP! I still cringe when he tells me that story!

  4. Aaaaw, CB has some beautiful eemos! What a lucky, lucky little man! And I've totally said "make sure his arms don't pop out of his sockets" too. It really does happen, and it freaks me out!

    To answer your questions on my blog last week....I used a couple of editing tools on picnik for those pics. Well, first I shot my camera on manual (starting to actually *use* my camera and practice my photography skills so that someday I know what the heck I'm doing!)and then I used a 1960's effect combined with a cross process effect and voila, you have my pics!

    And what happened to Maddyx's face? Well, we fell forward out of Mama's arms, right flat on the ground and landed on a toy. yep, that's the truth. And I felt HORRIBLE! :(

  9. CB is so lucky to have his eemos! Seriously, that will come in very handy throughout the years (ya know, when Mom won't let him do what he wants, he can seek a second (and third) opinion ... :) And I agree with Colleen - your whole family is just gorgeous (including you)!!!

  10. Awesome eemos! Careful of those arms! My aunts a nurse and she's always telling us that it really does happen! LOL! :) That frozen yogurt looked delicious! Don't blame his for gazing lovingly at the one holding it! I would too!

  11. Sounds like two wonderful people to hang out with!!! Ironically, in this family it's the eemo and the gomo yelling at the umma about bodily injury. They just don't understand that Spencer is like a little rubber dude and bends and bounces. :-) And seriously... everyone in your family could be a freaking model!

  12. Agreed....two beautiful eemos and both lucky to have CB to spoil!

  16. yay for aunties! (i'm one so i think they're fab hahahaha... though i live far away from my nieces and nephews.) glad you have them close and that they love him sooooo much too. hopefully will be handy for baby sitting when you need it some days.

  17. What beautiful eemos and that cute little Choi boy!

  18. So wonderful to have these special relationships with his aunties. So cute!
    (My husband also calls practically everyone else who is an extended family member or a close family friend his "aunts" and "uncles" too [on his mom's side - Chinese family - of the family]. I was very confused when we first starting dating...but totally get it now.)
