Vacation Part 2

Too many cute pictures with this happy trip;)

Vacation!

The begining of May, we went to the bay area in California for our first family vacation for the summer. It was such a long fun weekend! We thought that our family is a little too big for staying at somebody's house, so we stay in a hotel for that four wonderful days:) Free breakfast, swiming pool and I didn't need to clean up after the kids;) The first thing I said when we got into our hotel room was:"Kids, you can jump on the bed as much as you want!" They had a blast in the room wacthing movie, eatting pop corn with their daddy and swimming!

And we went to China town for yummy food, Japan town for delicious sushi, visitd the golden gate, the San Francisco Zoo and visted our wonderful friends in th area. I was such a fun trip and I am so glad that our kids starting to enjoy traveling and they were so good for the 12 hour driveX2 with only books, snacks, crayons and blank papers.

We love to trvel as a family and excited for all the trips we are going to do in the next two monthes. And the next one up is Tommy's home town Wyoming and Yellow Stone!

Brickman

(He loves his brother! Trust me;)

• Noel:"Why is it so cloudy today?"

Brickman:"Because the sun needs a blanket! It's cold today!"

• Noel was crying because a rubber band stuck in her hair. And.....

Brickman:"Hair! Please don't! You are hurting Noel!"

• At the park.

Brickman:"Look,mommy! There are lots of human at the park!"

• Me:"Noel, one day you will married a prince and mommy is going to miss you so so much!"

Brickman:"Mommy, you can go to the castle too!"

To be continue.......

Noel's Violin Grduation

Noel just experienced the first graduation of her life last Saturday! It was nice to see our little girl all grown up(she is growing up too fast) and performing on a stage:) She played it beautifully and flawless, we are so proud of her! And the most important thing is she LOVES it!

And Tommy and I were fully occupied by our two active boys who had trouble sitting quietly through the whole an hour and a half show:) Brickman kept asking me:"Where is Noel?" and "When can I play the cello on stage?" And Lincoln really had trouble sitting on a flapping chair with funny sound when he moves;) But he was entertained by the chair and having so much fun annoying every body around us! So now the whole Utah county knows that they need to stay away from the Jones family!

And the STRANGEST thing is I still love them;)

Happy Birthday to Our Daughter!

Happy Birthday to our only princess! We love You! Noel !

This is the whole set up for Noel's fifth birthday party. The theme was"The Royal Celebration"! Noel was the princess who invited all her Royalty friends from other far away kingdoms.

So this castle cake(to match the birthday theme) took me three and a half hours to complete. And Noel just loved it. And this is what I call "Mommy Power"! What do you think?

Here is our birthday girl enjoying her birthday with her royal friends! And impressed with her amazing mommy(I have to get some credit from this) I didn't go to sleep until 3am for the party, but seeing this smile on her face, every thing is worth it:)

Sunday

Our kids just so confused that why mommy always need to take pictures. Well, that's what you need to do when you have the cutest kids, right? ;) They were good this time though, they were willing to stand there for two pictures! Maybe they just need more training!

Our Three Little Ones Who Are Growing up Too Fast

Noel is growing up so fast, can you believe that she is going to be five next month?! She is becoming more and more beautiful every day. She is so loved being the only sister in our family. Her brothers love their perfect sister so much. They open the doors for her(and their mommy)every where they go, they let her have first choice with mostly every thing. And of course daddy makes sure that she is treated like a lovely lady:)

She is a very smart little girl. She reads, she writes, she draws, she sings(in tune), she dances, she plays the piano and the violin. She is in love with learning every day, excited to discover the answers to her new ideas and new questions.

She reads a lot of books on her own. After she understands the stories, she draws a picture about the books. She amazes me with how many new things she learns every minute of the day. She likes to sing all the time and she sing quiet well at her age. Her violin teacher told us that because she sings in tune, so it helps her to learn music instruments. She gets a new song every other week. She had a recital during halloween in 2009, the audience could not stop smiling at her cuteness of taking a bow after every single song she played:)

My most beautiful girl truly is the daughter of our dear God!


Brickman is Three and a half and he is the biggest Dinosur lover(like father like son)! He know almost all the difficult names of the dinos and he can tell what kind of dino they are and if they are Carnivore or Herbivore. He liked to be called gentleman, Deinonychus The Terrible Claws, Stegosaurus, and the paleontologist(yes,he knows the word). One time he told his cello teacher that he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. And his cello teacher was suprised that he knows the word:) Noel told her friends that she has two brthers, one of them is handsome and the other one is cute. And I agree with her. Brick is a very handsome little dude! He is cool, rich and single! Oh,yeah! He's got the whole package!

Brick's got a very special pesonality. He has a very creative mind. He likes to do things with his hands and figur things out in his own way. He is very into his own little world. And the way he learns is very diffrent. When he is quiet, that means he is listening, learning and getting infomations.

We spent a long time to find his cello teacher. Because we know that he doesn't need a best skilled teacher, he just needs the right teacher to inspire him to do the work himself. He loves the cello teacher. She was so suprised that he knows all the names of the parts on the cello which is over twenty of them. He learn all those difficult vocabularies when Noel practice her names of the violin which is very simular to the cello. We know he has a brilliant mind and he is going to make a diffrence in our future world!

Again, he is a very special son of God! We love him with all our hearts!

Here come the biggest trouble maker of all time! Lincoln is going to be two in March. He is a big boy:) He is full of energy and he is a happy little guy most of the time! He is very very loved(spoiled) by her brother and sister. He has the cutest face when he wants some thing. He likes to act like he is shy. You can tell that he is working some thing out in his little mind when his eys are sparkly:) He likes to impress pretty girls with his cutest face and his dance moves;) You are happy just by looking at him!

He thinks is a game with timeouts. He gives you the biggest grin when he did something that he should not of. He loves to carry his stuff bunny every where he goes. He loves milk, cheese and prezels. He is a very good eater. He can say any word in one syllable. He counts up to 3 in both languages. And he is a tough player!

We don't mind to keep him forever! He makes every body happy! He is a gift from God!

Yes, I am still alive!!!

Yes! Yes! I am back to blogging(may be!) Happy New Year! We are doing great! It's just very busy with our little family. I am still doing home schooling, Noel's violin and piano, Brickman's cello, picking up Lincoln's mess:) Life is never boring with my three adventurists. Tommy is having the most relaxing time since we were married. I can finaly see him more than an hour every day;) We are still waiting for acceptance letters from all the law schools we applyed to. Hopefuly we can m,ove on with our dream this year(fingers cross:)
