Here a couple things the kids did during our first snow storm of the year, which also caused havoc in the entire region. Da got stuck in the snow traffic for six hours and didn't get home until 9:30pm. He had to park his car in some neighbor and walked home since the road was blocked with stuck cars.














This was a private lesson/trial for the kids..it was a lot of fun! and cutesy funny too.

Can't believe Cayleigh is TWO already! We went to the doctor today. She is now 26.5lb and around 36 inches long.

Getting ready for her birthday! Baking some carrot cup cakes.





Someone knows its her birthday.





We had two parties this year. This is the one with all her church friends.



The kids decorated their cupcake and sang Happy Birthday with their own cupcake in hand!



You can tell it's hard to get everyone's attention for just ONE picture1





The boys were hiding under the table. No girls allowed.



Then when Cayleigh opened her princess tent. No BOYS allowed!!





Girls tea party started right after the tent was set up.



Happy Birthday to our dear Cayleigh!!!

We're almost done unpacking at home. Actually Abbey did most of the unpacking and she does a fabulous job! Meanwhile I try to help out taking care of the kids. From my activities at home, it almost appears the camera is always with me.




FF has recently wanting to grow up. She has the urge to go peepee and would tell us. She thinks it a game because when she say it, we'd take her to her potty and she would go! but just a little bit, then she's all done. Once she leaves her potty and we put her pants back on, she'd say PP and she would go a little again. She we kind of take her only once, hopefully training her to go once at a time.



Taking bath with three kids is always a huge challenge to make sure they are clean, to stay dry, and to minimize the amount of water outside the tub. As they are getting bigger, the bathtub feels smaller and water appears to have a life of its own splattering everywhere.







How much do you like to take baths? ....TWO THUMBS UP!










After some good reading do I realized that there's some news waiting for me....







It reads, "No parents.Kids Only and Brennan's mom." First thought was, after so many years of giving them showers and baths, cooking pancakes, and brushing their teeth, and tucking them in, I am no longer allowed in the room??? just me!! arggg..where's the father and sons bonding? Once again, moms win.






On the good news, we got some new appliance! It's the cool exhaust fan that we got from NY when we were up there last month. Due to some inexperience of me installing it last time on the old house, Abbey did not allow me to set it up. So two experts spent about three hours cutting through the ceiling, the cupboards, and tunneling the exhaust pipe to outside we got our exhaust fan installed professionally. The difference of me installing it and the pro is $$ and no cold air.

We started out the New Year by going to NYC!!!



First stop was to visit Abbey's college friends for some yummy hot pot.





Though NY got dumped nearly two feet of snow, we were determined to go there to see friends.









So why not enjoy the snow and have fun!! sometimes too much fun...hehehe










Then we stopped by Times Square and joined the millions of people and got our New Year's hats too!
