Miss Chu Tianyan

I love to see her excitement over stuff even it is small. She has the cutest smile. As you can tell she is a pretty normal teenager with that phone in her hands at all times.

Tea

There is nothing better than a nice mug of HOT TEA on a cold morning. For those of you that don't know me. I LOVE TEA!!! Hot or iced. The kids got this mug for me several years ago at Disneyland. It is my favorite.

San Luis Obispo

We decided today that we needed a fast trip to Avila to see the beach for just a few hours and have Woodstocks Pizza for dinner. It is fun to have road trips with our girls spur of the moment.

Disneyland for Chinese New Year

Tianyan wanted to see Disneyland during Chinese New Year! To much of our disappointment all the words were in Korean. She thought that was pretty funny. It was a very short trip to Disneyland, because we all had bad colds and were not feeling the best. Maybe next year we can stay for the entire day. The last picture is Tianyan building her bear at Build a Bear. I have never in my life seen a kid who loves stuff animals as much as she does. It was a fun short day. Building memories with my girls.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!! Hope everyone has a blessed and lovely day!

Picking up dad!

The kids and I went to LAX to pick up David from the airport today. He is flying home from his business conference. Emily did a great job driving to the airport. This was her first time driving in LA traffic. After we got David we went over to The Grove for dinner. Maggiano's is one of his favorites. It is one of mine too, because of buy one get one free.

Cold for the girls!

A day of snuggling with this little one who is all stuffed up with me is medicine in itself. David is in Cincinnati at a business conference. All of the girls in the house got colds while he was gone. The only one to take care of us is Jake, but He and Hailey took off to Disneyland today. Emily got a wild hair that the medicine we needed was a trip to Disneyland too. Our day may be short, but hey why not?

Chinese New Year 2013

I had a hard time getting a photo of Hannah this year. She has had a terrible cold. Smiles were far few and in between. Happy New Years!

Weekend with Auntie

My brother and sister-in-law went away for the weekend so we got to have our nieces and nephew! We had lots of fun while mom and dad were away. Making Stromboli's, baking cookies, sleepovers in the living room, late night movies, and pedicures. David and I had lots of fun with these kids. We don't get to have them often, but when we do we want to make lots of memories!
