A lovely weekend in donner lake at our friends cabin

My friend Lynn Marie and her husband owns a beautiful cabin by donner lake near truckee. She invited us a few times to visit and this weekend we were finally able to make it

It's one of the largest most gorgeous cabins I have ever seen. Six bedrooms and a gourmet kitchen, large living room, fireplace, hot tub, and nice deck for BBQ. We feel really spoiled. Will definitely have to come back for a longer stay. Even the pictures at this link doesn't do it Justice. http://www.vrbo.com/125484

Funny things my kids say

Alexis: Isabel, I just farted. Did you hear it?

Isabel and Alexis: YEAAAAAAA GUMMIES !!! (As they jump up and down with delight. These are Flintstone vitamin gummies. They LOVE them. )

Isabel: can I go poop? (As she wiggles. Kids are so good to ask for permission. It was just funny as we always told her she can just go and she still asked every time for about two years when she was 4 and 5 year old)

Alexis: 这是什么呢？ ( yes Alexis is breaking out in all kinds of Chinese. She is learning it all from QiaoHu DVDs. This means what is this? So cute!!)

Isabel made this for her teacher

A very Happy 7th Bday Party for Isabel at Pump it Up

Adults and Kids alike had fun on early Mother's Day morning at Pump it Up for Isabel's bday. <

Happy 8th Wedding Anniversary to Us!

I can't believe I have known Jaime for 11 years and married 8. Wow! I have learned and enjoyed so much in life because of the way we decided to live our life - balanced. This year to celebrate, we hired an awesome photographer, PJ Crame, to take photos at our engagement photo location - the palace of fine arts.

 How much life has gotten even better in the last 8 years. I am very thankful for my life, my hubby, my kids, and yaya. Looking forward to many more years of adventures

Happy 7th Birthday - Isabel

My little girl has grown up so fast.  She has become such a happy, social, creative, little person.  We are so proud of her.

Many thanks for yaya for creating this for Isabel for her birthday!  We will be taking Isabel and Lexi to Disneyland in July.   first flight for Lexi...

Say goodbye to our favorite car

We love this car but it's time to let it go. Kids are too big for it now. At least we found a good home for it. We gave it to our handyman who has a 4 months old daughter.

Isabel lost her first tooth today

It's Sunday April 19 2015. Isabel's first tooth fell out today at lunch. We were out with our neighbors for a play date at the Exploratorium and had lunch after at pier 23.

As she was was biting her quesadilla, her tooth came out. It's the beginning of another era. I am happy and sad as she is growing up so fast.

We have put her tooth in a plastic bag in her pillowcase for the "tooth fairy" to come tonight. She is so excited.

Kids favorite dessert

It's also healthy and good for them. Pomegranate icee. I get 100% pomegranate juice and pour it into a big ice cube tray. Add 20% water. Let it freeze. After dinner, I give each of them a cube by breaking it up first into bitable pieces. Since its juice, it breaks up fairly easily with some force and a folk.

They both love it! ;-)

Everybody is sleeping and I really need to pee

This is what alexis told us this morning. Since starting her potty training 3 weeks ago, she really got it quickly.

Only a few accident, including "I pooped in my panty." That only happened once. Not bad. She peed a few times on herself the first week.

Now she is even napping and sleeping overnight in her panties. Big girl. Growing up so fast.

Next challenge : getting her to stop sucking her thumb. Not going to be easy

Alexis is a big girl - peed in potty

Alexis started wearing panties yesterday March 11 2015. We agreed that when she ran out of diapers, she will wear panties. Yaya got her new ones.

Well, she now yells I gotta pee and we run to her little potty. She usually have to try a few times before she actually pee but she did it. So far only had two accidents yesterday and still wear training diapers for nap and at night. I have a feeling she will learn fast.

Yaya sings to her "big girl wears panties panties" and alexis smiles with such pride. My little girl is getting to be so big. It makes me sad and proud all at the same time.

To celebrate last night, both girls got to eat skinny cow chocolate ice cream for dessert.
