Happy Birthday Ethan!

Ethan turned 3 today. We celebrated at home with cake after dinner. Ethan loves Birthdays and would like to have a Birthday everyday if he could. I can't believe he is already 3. He has grown so much and has become quite an interesting boy. He is actually a very funny boy and loves to play and help out with everything. I look forward to more fun days with him and wish he would stop growing up so fast!

Time to Dress Up!

Now that the weather is warmer, Hayley is finally switching to summer dresses. She has been blessed with many many cute and beautiful clothes from friends and she is now getting to wear the dresses that have been in the closet. Check out some of our favorites. Too cute! I think I need to wear more dresses myself!

Party!

We decided to combine the kids' birthday party this year - Ethan's 3rd and Hayley's 1st birthdays. We had it at the Tumbleweed Park. The weather was beautiful, but it was very windy, so we had a fun time with the tablecloths. Nevertheless, the party turned out great. The kids had a blast with the crafts and cake. The food turned out yummie and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks to all who helped out! Here are some highlights from the party:

First Roller Coaster Ride for Ethan

We took Ethan to the Ostrich Festival this weekend and he had a blast. He and his buddy Hayden went on many carnival rides and did great! He wasn't even scared on the mini roller coaster ride. I guess we will have to take him to Six Flags when he is older! We didn't see any Ostriches though as we spent most of the time at the rides.

Too Much to Drink?

We had another Chinese New Year get together (Lantern Festival - last day of Chinese New Year) at a local Chinese restaurant - Phoenix Palace. Ethan had a little too much fun and was so tired at the end of the night.....

Gong Xi Fa Chai - Year of the Tiger!

This year we celebrated Chinese New Year with lots of good eating and several friends' birthday parties. It was also Hayley's first time in a Chinese dress. Ethan can say Gong Xi Gong Xi really well and the kids got their share of Hong Bao's.

Teething

Hayley tried some teething biscuit and really enjoyed chewing on it. I should have thought of this before as she was chewing on anything she can get a hold of. But it does get really messy once it starts getting soft....
