2009 December video clips 2009 年12月影片

Have you seen chickens wear diapers? Well, tonight was the first time that I saw one and had to record that to show you.

We decided to stay at Las Vegas for 1 day after leaving parents' house. This will count as our 10th anniversary trip. We came to Las Vegas with my parents and sister on our honey moon, 10 years later we came back again with 2 cute boys. Not many people at the Casinos and that worried us a little bit because it was 1 week before Christmas. We worried that many casinos would shut down due to lack of business. Maybe it would get busier when it gets closer to Christmas. We tried to get deals to watch some shows, but they were too expensive with 4 of us. We ended with spending 20 dollars at this game studio and had a blast.

你看過雞穿尿布嗎? 肖恩二姐家的雞是他們的寵物, 所以如果把雞帶進家裡就要包上尿布. 好笑吧!

離開了公婆家後我們在拉斯維加斯待一天. 想想10年前我們帶我爸媽和大姐來這度蜜月, 10年後肖恩和我帶了小朋友來這裡重溫舊夢. 很奇怪的是在賭城裡竟然很少人吔. 這和10年前人擠人的盛況差好多哦. 我們實在有點擔心賭城會不會就這樣垮了?不過想了想,還有一個禮拜就是耶誕節了, 也許到時才會有更多人來賭城玩吧. 去看看有沒有什麼秀沒有賣光可以便宜買, 唉,一家4口這樣門票太貴了. 花了20元在這遊戲間裡玩了很多遊戲, 很痛快.




We came to this buffet at Paris Casino with my parents and sister, so of course had to come back and visit. There were lots of choices and we came out with a full tummy. Went back to our hotel took a nap and ready for our night adventure.

Turned out many free shows at different casinos were shut down due to preparations for the Christmas rush. What a bummer. We visited Venetian Casino and really loved the river and the boat, it was very romantic and relaxing.

當年帶爸媽和大姐來這家吃到飽的餐廳. 所以今天當然也要來這裡吃囉. 奇怪, 菜色好像都差不多吔. 一個小時後我們帶著飽飽的肚子走回飯店睡個午覺準備晚上的行程. 結果晚上發現許多免費的秀都取消了, 因為下個禮拜是耶誕節會很忙所以很多地方這個禮拜都維修或放假. 真不巧. 不過我們去看了尼維斯飯店裡的河. 那裡面有真的人在那划船. 好浪漫. 最喜歡這個飯店因為它的天花板是漆成藍色的天空, 讓人覺得很輕鬆很自在, 好像你真的就處在陽光下.




We stayed at Bellagio on the honey moon and still remembered looking down at the dancing water fountain from our window. Boys were amazed at the beautiful water fountain. They are much prettier at night. We watched several water dances and then headed back to our room. Had an early morning flight and headed to the holiday concert at school right after we arrived home. What a busy day but fun trip except the sad circumstances.

度蜜月時是在Bellagio, 從我們房間可以看到噴水池裡的水舞. 所以晚上我們全家就待在噴水池前看水舞. 實在是很壯觀很漂亮. 我們看了好幾首水舞,最後實在是晚了應該回去整理行李準備隔天飛回家. 因為奶奶的過世,我們決定飛回家去參加喪禮, 可是這趙旅行看到了所有的家人又可以去賭城看一下, 實在是很值得.

December 2009

This month had been a very busy for our family: flew to Idaho to attend grandma Berreth's funeral, attended school's holiday concert right after arriving MI, made cookies for friends and enjoyed the Christmas, of course.

今年的12月很忙: 飛到Idaho州去參加祖母的喪禮, 一下機就馬上準備去參加小朋友學校的演唱會. 聖誕節前忙著做餅乾以送給朋友們. 再來就是過個安靜的聖誕節囉!

Xander looked very handsome and really liked to sing. He memorized the whole "Rockin around the Christmas tree" 傑升很喜歡唱歌, 他將整首歌都記起來了.

This was Khai's first holiday concert at school and he was very proud of his performance. His friends were so excited to see him back from the funeral. 這是煒勳第一年的演唱會, 他可是非常興奮呢. 他班上小朋友看到他回來都好興奮呢.

Kids working on the treats, they were my good helpers. 幫忙做餅乾.

Jumping in the air on Christmas morning with his new pajamas. 在聖誕節當天很興奮的跑下樓來開禮物.


Another excited boy jumping in the air with his new pajamas. 弟弟也是高興的跳上天了.

We are ready. 我們準備好了.

Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk. Can you see the excitements in his eyes? 哇, 聖誕老公公把餅乾和牛奶喝完了吔. 你有沒有看到煒勳那興奮的眼神. 眼睛都發光了.


Let's see what's inside. 看看箱子裡有什麼.

Santa gave Xander a camera and a puppy from grand parents. 聖誕老公公給了傑升相機

Khai loves his puppy. 煒勳很喜歡他的小狗.

Pei-I got a new camera and took these beautiful pictures. Sean got a ipod. Thank you and Merry Christmas. 我想要一台相機, 所以這些漂亮的相片就是用我新相機拍的. 肖恩得到一台ipod. 謝謝. 耶誕快樂.

Xander's 2010 New Year Revolution 新年新希望

I discovered this homework from Xander's Friday folder.
My wish is: I write better at Chinese
I hope my wish comes true because: that mom won't have to tell me to write again.
If my wish comes true, I would feel: happy.

I asked him why he wrote that and he said he was doing bad last year with writing Chinese, but now he's doing much better, so he's very happy about it. Keep it up.

What a nice comment and he does doing much better with Chinese this year. We are very happy about that.

傑升新年新希望
週末在整理傑升的作業, 發現這張很可愛的作業:
我2010年的新年新希望: 希望可以把中文寫好.
我希望我的希望可以成真, 因為: 這樣媽媽就不會叫我再寫一遍.
如果我的希望成真了, 我會: 很高興.

我很好奇傑升怎麼會有這種願望. 想了想, 會不會是從Idaho 回來了積了很多中文作業, 所以每天寫中文寫過頭了? 我有逼他那麼緊嗎? 後來昨天問他為什麼這樣寫, 他說: 因為我去年都學不好呀, 那今年我的國字寫的比較好了所以我很開心. 嗯, 小孩子的世界就是那麼單純.
註: 傑升今年的中字寫的真的很好哦. 尤其他會寫"妙真" 阿姨的名字. 回台灣時一定要叫他寫給你們看.

Another update under September 09

We have another update under September 09: Summer Camping trip--The Smithsonian Museums 華盛頓博物館

I forgot to post this page and when I finished it today, it listed under September not December. Sorry about the confusion and hope you'll enjoy it.

The falling tooth 搖晃的牙齒

Xander's upper front tooth just fell last week and now another front tooth is losing too. This will be the 6th tooth so far.

傑升上排的門牙上禮拜剛掉, 現在另一顆門牙也快掉下來了. 可以看到門牙掉了一半, 可是用力拔時傑升一直喊痛我們就沒有再繼續拔.



Can you see the tooth is almost fall. 牙齒快要掉囉.

12/5/09
Xander was eating cereal and suddently very excited showing his tooth to me. Apparently the tooth fell to his mouth while he ate the cerea. Luckly he didn't swallow it; otherwise tooth fairy wouldn't come visit.

12/5/09 早上吃早餐時, 傑升很興奮的跑來說他的牙齒掉了. 說他在吃飯時突然覺得硬硬的, 一看竟然是他的門牙. 還好有馬上吐出來, 要不然牙齒仙子就不能來了.



How do you like my smile without the front teeth? 沒有門牙的我笑的是不是很可愛?



Another goofy smile. 煒勳你為什麼笑的那麼賊?
