PoTai and Ciu Kung return to Indo

Our last lunch with Ciu Kung and Po Tai before they go back to Indonesia. We will miss our weekly visits and having Ciu Kung's yummy homemade food:)
Lucas' first field trip to Summer Winds Nursery. Planting a strawberry plant, but unfortunately he didn't want to get dirty or even touch the soil.
Loving my new short hair. I did it just for Daddy. He wants me to look like I did when I was 2.
Proud Max. Got out all by himself and even broke the seatbeat!

Sneaky look...I can do it again Mommy.

This week, we went to Hobees for our weekly Friday Brunch, of course, Max conveniently woke up from his nap to join us:)

Big Milestones for the Tan boys!

Lucas completed a 60 piece puzzle all by himself!

Lucas finally got the hang of riding on his two wheel bike with no pedals. He was so excited he rode on it for an hour non-stop, not giving Cayden a try.

Max, 11 months, found out he can now get places vertically! First time pushing a bus and walking around the kitchen:)

Leprechaun Trap!

Mommy forgot to dress me in green on St. Patrick's day, luckily I made this hat with my Las Madres playgroup. I wore it proudly while having an early dinner with Daddy before his appointment.
We played with our neighbors Ben and Stephanie one afternoon and made little homes for each snail. Look closely, each snail is on its own rock!
My Leprechaun Trap I made for school. Look at the little red path to the pot of gold! There is a hole underneath the pot of gold covered by clovers. I also prepared some snack for them...a mountain of lucky charm marshmallows! I think they will like it:) I can't wait to catch them, but I'll be sad too.
Making cupcakes for Ebo's birthday. The one with lots of frosting is for me!
Max's first play date with Juliet...only 5 days apart. Max loved playing with her hair. Juliet didn't like it too much...
Mommy and Daddy started weekly breakfast dates...of course with me:) I tried eating all their waffles...

Thanks for your breakfast Daddy...where are we going next week?
Lucas was so excited to bring Jie Jie to his school. Him showing off his marble art.

March playtime

First time Max got to play in our community park. He loved it! sliding, crawling over the wood chips, and even tried climbing a little.
Lucas brought a puppy to school to share. He loves dogs on leashes, just like Cayden does.
Just enjoying an afternoon playing in the park. Max reaches out to give Jie Jie a kiss.
While Cayden was home sick, Mommy made choco chip and raisin bran muffins with the boys!
Cousin Adelynn's first time to our home to play and have dinner.

Mid year recess break

We finally started updating our blog again, after 2 years. Now we have a new addition to our family, Maxwell, born on April 8, 2010. Here he is 10 months old and eating solids and being like one of the big kids.

We had fun this week just hanging out together. Max loves all our favorite foods too, here he is eating Pizza my heart!
Look Daddy, both Jia Jia and I finished the whole pizza slice ourselves!
Spending time at home...painting and making lots of mess. Mommy said its ok to make a mess with paint. We made 6 artworks each!
Playdate with the Louie boys again....we miss them. We played at Mcdonalds playhouse and had a yummy lunch...WITH our veggies and fruit of course, thanks to Auntie Diana:)

Park playdates and Valentines

We started having weekly picnic park playdates with Cayden's kindergarden friends. It is the highlight of Cayden's week and also Lucas'. He loves to run around and play with her friends. Kids are entertained and moms get to chit chat:)
Max too has been having playdates with Mari, Tyler and Ethan's new baby sister. He's showing off to her that he can stand and cruise!
Max rides big brother's rocket and is proud that he can sit without falling.
