A fun day at friend's house 好玩的一天

We had a church member who works for the YMCA and was able to arrange a horseback riding for his son's birthday. Both boys were invited to this party. Both boys were being very polite and very brave, that was their first time riding a grown up horse. They had a really good time.

我們有一個教友在YMCA工作而他們就住在YMCA的隔壁.所以朋友的兒子生日時, 這個小朋友可以邀請幾位朋友到YMCA去騎馬. 我們家2個小朋友和他們家2個男生常常一起玩, 所以就受邀去騎馬.我們的朋友在那牽著馬帶小朋友繞2圈. 這是小朋友們第一次騎大馬所以他們很興奮. 很難得的一天.

Easter 2010 復活節找蛋去.

This year we decided to let Xander hide Khai's eggs. He was having so much fun doing that. While Khai was getting ready, Sean hurried went outside and hid Xander's eggs.

This is a easy spot.
這個地方很容易看到蛋的.


Almost done.

Ready, get set. Wait let me take a picture first.
It's very rare that Khai wasn't whining about egg hunting this year.
今年好特別哦, 弟弟竟然在找蛋時都沒有發起床氣吔!

Khai's surprise party

We threw Xander a birthday party when he was 6 years old. This year Khai turned 6 and of course we can't skip throwing him a party; otherwise he'll ask why we didn't love him in the future. So we asked who would he like to invite, but we told him that most of his friends couldn't make it. We were going to give Khai a surprise party.

Sean took Khai to pick up his birthday cake in the morning, Xander and I hurried went to the pizza place and set up the party. When Khai came in, he was surprised that his friends were there. The expression on his face was priceless, but I used our old camera that day, so you couldn't even see anything. What a bummer.

哥哥6歲的時候我們幫他辦了一個生日會. 今年弟弟也快6歲了, 為了不讓弟弟長大後問我們為什麼不愛他, 沒幫他辦生日會, 所以我們也幫他準備了一個驚奇生日會. 問了弟弟想要邀請那些朋友, 然後我們騙他大部份的朋友沒辦法來.

結果生日當天, 爸爸帶弟弟出去拿生日蛋糕, 我和哥哥馬上到生日會現場去佈置. 哥哥真的長大了, 沒有吃弟弟的醋, 很盡責的幫忙佈置會場. 很快地朋友們到了, 和爸爸約定好的時間到了,瞄到弟弟要進來了. 小朋友們等到弟弟一進門時就喊" surprise" . 弟弟很意外, 沒有想到他的朋友都到了. 可惜我們用舊的相機拍這過程, 根本就看不到影象, 不過還是可以聽到聲音.

Khai & bandages 煒勳 和O.K.繃

Khai is a clumsy boy, he usually has bruises or scratches without knowing it. Whenever he sees a small scratch or big cut, a band-aid can stop the crying / pain instantly. He LOVES band-aid. We used to insit that no band-aids would be giving unless he was bleeding, but when we saw that they make Khai so happy, we gave in. Since then, I started carrying band-aids in my purse just in case we need one.

Our band-aid supplies were running low (you can guess who usually uses them) the other day, so I picked up the Snoopy and Action Hero band-aids. Xander came home that afternoon and showed me the scratch on his hand, so I put on an Iron Man band-aid on him after the shower.

When kids were eating breakfast the next morning, Khai saw Xander's new band-aid and asked "Where did you get the Iron Man band-aid?" Xander: "Mama gave that to me last night." I saw Khai started looking at his hands and leggs and found no scratch, then he went :" Mama, Sasha (our cat) bit me last night". Nice try, Khai.

煒勳是個手腳不大靈活的小男孩, 身上常常會有烏青或是小擦傷,有時走路時不注意也會受傷. 偏偏他又很愛貼O.K.繃,只要一貼上 O.K.繃, 小擦傷馬上就不痛了(他通常都會很快樂的說” 我自己去貼O.K.繃哦!” 我們本來都堅持要流血才能貼O.K.繃, 可是看到他為了一個小小的O.K.繃就可以那麼快樂也就隨他去了). 所以媽媽我呢開始在皮包裡放些O.K.繃以備不時之需.

我們的O.K.繃快要沒了(你猜也知道大部份都是被誰用掉的.)所以去店裡買了包史奴比和卡通英雄的O.K.繃. 當天下午哥哥回家時就告訴我他在學校時受傷了. 晚上洗完澡我給哥哥貼了一個鐵人的O.K.繃. 隔天當小朋友們吃早餐時, 煒勳看到哥哥的O.K.繃問: “你怎麼會有鐵人的O.K.繃?” 哥哥說: “昨晚媽媽幫我貼的”. 這時我看到煒勳很興奮的開始看了他的手和腳, 沒有擦痕, 他突發奇想的說” 我們的貓昨晚咬我” 希望我可以也給他一個新貼紙. 媽媽我當然是沒有給他囉. 當我說給老公聽時他也笑了. 看來家裡一定三不五時就要準備一些O.K.繃, 尤其是有卡通圖案的.

Khai lost his 1st tooth on 5/5/10 煒勳的第一顆牙齒

Khai's tooth had been loose for several weeks and while we drove to Chinese School last week, he was eating chips in the car and told me his tooth fell. He showed me his tooth, so tiny and so cute. He kept saying that he couldn't believe his tooth fell and the tooth fairy will come visit him tonight. Every since Xander lost teeth and got $$ from the tooth fairy, Khai was so jealous and had been asking when his teeth would fall. Now his dream came true. The tooth fairy sure brought him $$ under his pillow the next day.

煒勳的下面第一顆門牙已經搖了好幾個禮拜了. 在去中文學校的路上, 他們吃薯片,煒勳突然大叫他旳牙齒掉了.一看,好小的牙齒在我面前. 他一直說他不敢相信他牙齒終於掉下來了. 自從哥哥開始掉第一顆牙並收到牙齒仙女的錢錢, 煒勳就好羨慕, 一直問什麼時候他也可以掉牙. 現在終於美夢實現了. 他好期待牙齒仙女的到來. 果然在隔天, 弟弟很興奮的跑到我們房間並秀給我們看他旳錢錢.

Can you see my missing tooth? 你可以看到我少了一顆牙齒嗎?

Right afte Kahi lost his tooth, he told me that the tooth next to it is wiggly too and he was right. Maybe the 2nd tooth will fall pretty soon too. On Monday, 3/8/10, Khai came home and showed me his homework. I noticed that his 2nd tooth was missing. I asked him if he lost his tooth as school, he was so surprise to hear that. Ran to the bathroom and looked at the mirror. He came out so sad and worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't come and give him $$ because he lost his tootoh without knowing it. We told him to write a note to the fairy and maybe she would still come and visit. Of course tooth fairy came that night. Khai lost 2 teeth in 3 days, he needs to slow down otherwise he would have no teeth to chew.

當煒勳秀給我看他的牙齒時, 他馬上說旁邊的那顆牙也在搖.一摸, 果然很鬆.想說隔天再幫他錄影下來. 那知星期一下課後做功課時竟然看到煒勳的第二顆牙不見了. 我問他是不是在學校時掉了牙齒, 他一聽,愣了一下馬上衝到廁所去看鏡子. 哇, 他連牙齒掉了竟然都不知道.一定是吞到肚子裡去了啦.他出來後垂頭喪氣的說牙齒仙女不會來找他並給他錢了因為他沒有牙齒可以塞在枕頭下. 我叫他寫張紙條給仙女說如果有找到牙齒會還給她牙齒, 可不可以還是給他錢錢. 結果隔天仙女果真給他錢哦. 3天內就掉了2顆牙齒. 弟弟你的速度要減緩一點要不然到時就沒牙齒可吃飯了.
