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:)

Noel

lets talk about our beautiful daughter:) She is four and a half. She wants to marry Brickman in the Salt Lake Temple(she thinks Sleeping Beauty got married in the Salt Lake Temple:) and have Lincoln for her baby!

She likes to talk A LOT! She can talk for hours and hours with out me asking any questions. She asks a question , then answer her own question. I pretty much don't need to do any work for chatting with her:) And she's learning the violin. She really, really enjoy playing the violin! She is a hard little worker, she pratice six days a week and 45minutes a day. You might think that is because of her mommy makes her do it! But, no. We usually get through the whole 45 minutes pratice without any tears or fights which I am just so grateful for:)

And she enjoys home schooling just as much as her violin! We have lesson time 5 days a week, three hours a day. She amazes me every day for how fast she learns. She reads, count up to a 100(English and Chinese), she is working on some simple addition and subtraction between 1 and 10, she knows George Washington was the first president of the USA and so on..... Let's just say that she knows more than I do ;>

Here's how she lets me know that she knows every thing:

Me:" Who is the first president of the United States?"

Noel:" George washington!" Then she pause it for a little bit and said:" He didn't want to be a president, but every body voted for him! So he had give up hunting fox with his brother!"

Me:" What is a presdent and what does he need to do as a president?"

Noel:" President is the Daddy of the United States! So he needs to be nice to us!" Another pause then she asked:" Mommy, may I put Isabella to bed? I will be right back,OK?"

Me:" Who is Isabella?"

Noel(using her extra sweet voice):" My imaginery friend, nobody can see her except for me! I will tell you more about George later,Ok? Mommy!" And there she goes to be with her "friend" (She got the idea from her favorite cartoon:)

This is our four-year-old sweet and interesting daughter! I hope you enjoy her as much as I do!

Time just went by before I know.....

Hello, I am back for our blog:) I know! It's been a long time!

I just noticed that I haven't update our blog for six months, so I have to do something to change that;> Time flys after you are married and time shoots like a shooting star after you have kids! Here I am being a extremely busy and happy mommy.

Before, when I think about raising kids. I imagine there will be only smily days. Well, clearly that would only happend in our next lives!
