The Zhao Family

Some oldies but goodies. We finally got these photos back from a friend whom accidentally cut all the photos from the memory card to his computer.



You know we have cabin fever when our boys are clothed like they going to the North Pole. But for the sake of getting out of the house, a little runny noise, chapped lips, chapped face, frozen fingers, frozen toes or a little wind won't stop the boys from staying home.





Ready to rock and roll !





King of the Hill




I hear Brennan yelling, "Titanic is going down!!"




Clayton goes..."He he he...I am the captain and I know where I am sailing this ship"




"Since I sunkt the ship...it's time to move on to another career: driving"




"All by myself..."

It was cousin Emilee's birthday party today at Chucky E. Cheese's today. They boys had fun playing games.


Visiting team against the....


The Home Team....


We have a winner! (in your face!)


This, reluctantly, is one of the main reasons that places like this gives incredibly worthless junk after trading in all the tickets.

To play a basketball game: 1 coin
Plastic ball: $2
To watch grandma taking over a child's game and really enjoy it: Priceless
For everything else, there's a camera waiting to capture the moment



The reflection makes Clayton's eyes look its the only place we put on sunblock.




There are some enjoyable games there...


Brennan's got his curve down to get the most points and Clayton's getting ready to toss...


Ah.. heck with it! We all know that Clayton can't toss hard enough to get the balls in there. He figures he has a better idea, just climb up there and throw it in-it will definitely go in this time. Way to go Clayton! that's my boy!


(to all a good night, it's 01:51am)

You really think we let them sleep in the same bed together? and you really think they will sleep?....but they seem to love to sleep in the Brennan's bed. Photo taken, boys separated, parents get to sleep.

Today was about 54 degrees F and with daylight savings time, it was about 530P with plenty of sunlight left. Da came home in shorts and t-shirt from work (another story to be told) and just told the boys to go biking. Of course they all stopped eating yogurt and want to go out. Of course mom force them to finish their snack before going out.


Clayton's in the stage of wanting to put everything on by himself but he still can't put the shoe in his feet yet so he gets frustrated and scream for us after a few minutes of the shoe not going in.


Thats how every adult should eat yogurt, its the new shaving cream. Lets the face nutrition and moisturized and smooth.


"Get off me, I want to go biking"
Yes mom we are only going across the street; we are not leaving you for our girlfriends just yet.


Co-operation to take the picture.


This is pushing it.


Brennan: "I want to bite my tongue"
Clayton: "I think I am going to throw up"


Alright just last one.


Somehow Brennan got off the track and into the field with his bike.


He even abandoned it.....hm....................


Ok Ok they have swapped bikes and everyone's happy. There's a slight problem; Brennan's leg maybe too long for the smaller bike and Clayton's feet can't even touch the peddles.


Look closer; where is his feet touching?


Da is getting bald.


Playing bike chase, it ws lots of fun for the boys. Da was exhausted.

So since Abbey used to love shopping until Da give her a hard time for buying unnecessary things like when she used to be single, so what does she do? She goes and buys things for the boys and what can Da say? -absolutely nothing (priceless...errr expense)





Ahhh our house has become a toy haven almost like a Toys-R-Us except we dont' have Jeffrey in our home. Other than that we have toys galore.






When music class is over, they boys get back to the basics-reading, writing and arithmatics. Clayton is a very fast learner. No matter what his older brother does, he tries to do the same. With a little self control he will catch up in no time.



Or better yet, uncle comes along and help out with hand-eye coordination.




This photo is take by Mr. Brennan. The composure is perfect. Just a little blurry but it is quite good for a little fellow.



How about some action on what we've just learned?

It was a really nice day to stop by the temple after Stake conference to let the boys run around. Apparently we weren't the only ones thinking abou that. Henry was there too! and as you have it, they are just boys...hehehe


great hang out area-in front of the fountain at the Temple. They were up to no good throwing rocks or other things in it.


"I love being at the temple!"


Hahahaha..what you know we do have a few pictures together. Brennan took the photo with his right hand.

This boy has just started to walk and now he's jumping onto the bed already!!

Dr. Zhao has a nice ring to it. Maybe. Up to him. But at least its a good start. After studying the book for a little bit, he then apply what is just learned on his first test patient: Amelia our neighbor.





Listen to the conversation carefully.
