The Zhao Family

This is a late post from a month ago.


The boys love Cousin David to read to them before bedtime.

So we finally join the Wii community. The weather is getting colder and we have less and less daylight, so most of our time is spent inside the house, so Wii got into it. Actually fixed a broken Wii the Brown family gave us. Then Abbey wanted the Wii fit. Lately she's been trying to gain weight by exercising on the Wii fit??? Yes, that is right she want to tone her fat (not much) into muscles and drive her appetite. Will see what happens.


This is our Wii family. Guess who's who.


In class Clayton planted a seed and it sprouted into a plant. There's a little pumpkin sticker on it but now sure what it really is. As of today, 11/10/09, its grown to about 8 inches. Abbey's doing a good job taking care of the plant.



Does the maze above look difficult? Lately Brennan has this thing where he can look at a very difficult maze and in less than 3 minutes he can solve it and get out hardly without mistakes!! Click on the photo to look at his skills.


As if that wasn't enough, Brennan is AMAZE-ING!!! He loves to draw his mazes and ask us to go through it. By the look of his mazes, they are not simple but yet he loves them!




Finally we get to use the piano that we bought!!



Poor Cayleigh, she's left all alone by herself and just smiling and being happy about it. Would life be great if everyone's like her!! Thank you for your example!!



So this is what happens when the kids go to bed!! we get to play Wii!! Wii have a problem with the WoW (word of wisdom)...by trying not to be addicted to substances.

Here's our Halloween festivities. Enjoy!

2009-10 Halloween

Clayton's been waiting for this day since the beginning of the month. He was a little disappointed when his older brother went to his pumpkin picking field trip, but finally the day came when Clayton went; he was he a happy boy!! He loves all the animals, the hay ride, and picking up the pumpkins!! It was a great day to have fun!!

The fall baseball season has come to an end. Here are some captions.


Poor Cayleigh gets all neglected when we go to her brother's games. So she entertain herself by what she does best-play with her toes!!














Alas!! His 2009 Fall T-ball Team - The Reds!!

The rest of the pictures are here:

How much a wife trusts her husband to let him cut her hair. In this world we live in there always seems to be something wrong when people hear that a wife would let her husband cut her hair. Well today I might have defunct that myth. I spent about fifteen minutes cutting her hair while she spent about 30 in front of the mirror. Through some collaboration and with Abbey doing major reconstructive adjustments, the haircut turned out fine. So for wife's out there and husbands, have no fear! we will overcome!

...something miraculous happens. We were at church and thought it would be a great idea to get a family photo. If you guys have kids you know how fun it is to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. Well this time we luck out! I have not done any photoshopped work on this, so it is a miracle. We finally have a family photo with everyone having a genuine smile :D

Here's are some videos that we've posted on Youtube and finally have a chance to post it here. Some are old, some are recent, and all of them are good. Most of the conversations are in Cantonese, which we hope to keep up with them. If you have a hard time catching up with the conversations, you might need to learn the language as well. Enjoy

The cool is here and we managed to get some outdoor and activities accomplished before it's too cold.


If you can't ride fast enough, why not run with it.


Or get your brother to get you out of the rut.


Clayton's hobby: lining up cars: perfectly spaced.


A little victory dance for you people.


While Brennan's playing ball, Clayton is not missing out. He has a game of his own.


Cayleigh, like his brothers, do not like grass.


But also love to take bathes.


Content baby, full of rolls.






Cayleigh's first swimming lesson. Warning from mom: don't dunk her again.






This trend can be a good thing for his brothers. Keep shopping, grocery shopping that is, more and keep going to the fruits and veggies section.
