Free Sat. morning

Daddy has been playing soccer every Sat. morning so Anson and mommy just hang out.

That was one very hot day, after seeing all the kids having ice-cream in the mall.
He politely asked mama "can I have um...um..."
"Honey what do you want?" said mama
"I want ice-cream, ng ho e c" Anson said shyly.
"Oh don't be ng ho e c, you deserve it. Mama is going to buy you some right now"
It was a cute conversation that I will never forget.


After the ice-cream recharge, here:

Screaming Boys

8 hours a day, both Josh & Anson are being disciplined by por por. So when the parents get home, they get loose and become a bit out of control. It's funny to watch them being silly. Come on! Typical toddlers :P

Please turn down your volume a bit before playing this video or it'll make you dizzy.

If you can't imagine how ah por handles those 2 boys 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. Don't ask me, I don't know either =)

Egg hunting @ Easter

It's Anson's first egg hunting experience.

Our new plant at home

We like 衛蘭, both this orchid & the singer.

The neighborhood playground

Only 10 mins walking distance from our place. We always hang out there, can't wait for the summer to come.

Disney on Ice show

Let's shake it

Sing ABC songs

Anson loves to sing ABC songs. Usually he sings from start to finish w/o much mistake. Out of those good version, I find this one hilarious wakakaka. You silly :)

Las Vegas B Trip

Lots of work & Lots of food.

Fun Dec 2010

1st skip trip VERY FUN

Happy Halloween

It's all about the cute costomes and the Fun Games & Events in the community. Not so much about the candies at their age. Most candies landed in mommy's tummy :)

Let that kido burns some energy at the Gym

We attended Julia's 3rd bday party at the Gym. It's such a wonderful idea for a cold winter afternoon. Let the kids jump and run wildly, I bet they all take a long 3 hrs nap like Anson afterward.

Anson's first face painting

What's up with Anson attending a Princess party haha? 3 yrs old Isabella is mommy's good friend's daughter so he has to :) Magic show, balloon animal, face painting by Snowwhite. All the kids had a blast!

A mouse pretending to be a cat

My son eating my birthday cake

I took my birthday off from work and just hang out with my mom and the kids. We were meeting my sis for lunch and meeting the daddies for an ordinary dinner. A simple day can be the best birthday.

Drawing is fun

weird sitting pose

Anson always sits with legs split 90 degree apart in his carseat. Comfy??

Great minds think alike

Ethan & Anson always owe very similar or exact same thing.

This day, they happen to wear the same Gap top.

Their mom just hope they won't fall in love with the same girl one day haha.

Gilroy Garden, 1st Amusement park experience

Gilroy Garden is an excellent theme park for toddlers. I wouldn't say Anson totally enjoyed the rides, he was kinda nervous + very curious. The cheerful parents were trying to keep up the kids' sprit. A fun time!

F4 2010

A great gathering with Uncle Wong's & The Li's family from LA.

1st time meeting Ian, such a wonderful happy bb.

Sunday SF Dinner Cruise

Original price: $54 per person x 2 = $108
We paid: $22 per person x 2 =$44 (ends up 3 ppl enjoying a nice Summer dinner cruise in SF). They serve sandwiches, fruits, pasta salad, nothing too fancy but it's all Anson's favorites.
Good Deal.

1.5 years old check up

Weight: 20 lbs (it was 19lbs + 14/15 oz but I guess the nurse just round it up to make mama happy) still 3 percentile, but Dr. doesn't even mention about the chart. Anson grows in a perfect rate. That's all Dr. Burke said.

Height: 31 inches.

"Mama, can you stop posting my messy eating pic? I now have better control eating with my fork/spoon...ok ok, I will remember to use my right hand." Anson screamed.

His favorite food: All Fruits (watermelon, blueberry, pineapple, orange) & Veggie still.

Sleeping Pattern: Goes to bed 8:30-9pm, wakes up 9am. 1 Nap 1-3pm.

In term of talking, yea, we can understand him sometimes now. He pronounce words accurately sometimes and he cracks us up when he's saying some tune that's completely wrong but he's trying.

Sydney and Melbourne Trip

I have uploaded our trip pics in my facebook. Here are some selective ones:

Sydney is a beautiful city. Sunshine + no wind the whole 3 days we were there. Melbourne is further south, closer to Antarctica so cooler. In general, everything in Oz is so calm and mellow. Both cities are super kids friendly, wonderful for family trip. The only turn off is everything is darn expensive. Food is about the same as US but the clothing and other necessities are marked up.

It's sooooo nice to see some old friends. First time we met Lok's family, member of 6. We were staying at Lok's place the whole time we were in Melbourne. He made us 3 meals a day, so nice of him. Anson so gets a long with Jed (22 mos) & Cherry (8 mos) & their 2 dogs, they definitely some great play time.

Also, I've met Ivy, my very good friend since I was 7. She took us to an upscale restaurant in Mel Casino and we had great Oz steak & lamb racks. We haven't seen each other for 10 years but we stay in good touch. Our laughs our jokes have never changed.

A 12 hours direct flight via Qantas Air is not too bad at all as Anson knows how to entertain himself & the passengers. He tooks a few hours nap, and no drama for the rest of the time. Not bad.
