Father and Son's Night Out!

It is father and son night out today, so hubby and son went to see Star Wars at movie theater today. They want me to join them but I decided to stay home watch T.V., blog and grab opps. I am glad they went without me. Oh by the way, we sold our car today, yehey! I hope when we get to Texas, we will be able to find the truck we both like. We need at least two cars if we will both go to work. I think I need to work for at least a year before going back to school. I need to be a Texas resident for at least one year before I can go back to college or else I will pay out of state college tuition which is more than we can afford. I think I can wait.

Another Busy Day!

Tonight is the last night of our stay here in Barclay Towers. We were busy today as usual. We have done our routine activities everyday like walking early in the morning by the seashore, breakfast, swimming on the beach, and on the inside pool afterwards. We also went for a bike ride like we did yesterday, have eaten our lunch in and dinner out. We really took advantage of swimming on the beach that is why we didn't go to any of the museums here as well as Dolphin watching and visit to aquarium. We have ended our day by eating at a Sea foods Restaurant. We really have had a blast with our spring/summer vacation this year. And I thanked God for this wonderful opportunity to bond as family.

Glimpse of my Grandmother's Funeral

Some of those pictures taken the day of my beloved grandmother's funeral (necrological service and funeral proper).

Grandma has 12 kids that is the reason why you see lots of grandkids and great-grandkids here.

Jake putting puzzle together....

Befpre going to bed, my son put his car puzzle together, again one of the gifts he got from Santa....

he did it by himself with out any help from Mom or Dad...
done here... he was sitting on the top of coffee table...
here standing proud of her finished puzzle. Jake is really very good on putting puzzles together than coloring, even his teacher was very surprised how advanced he was with puzzles.

Tomato Fair

This snapshot was taken at the Tomato Fair last summer where they posed with the giant Duckie :-). Jacob really enjoyed the activities for kids like face painting, animal petting, deflatable slides as well as the hay ride; Matt and I enjoyed watching him playing with the other kids.

We planned to buy some tomatoes, but we forgot to bring cash, so we just went around visiting some booth selling all kinds of arts and crafts. Foods were not cheap, but we love the fried green tomatoes and tomato pie.

Our Trip to Washington DC

A snapshot inside the Lincoln Bemorial Building. As you can see my men stood infront of Abraham Lincoln's photo...

infront of Abraham Lincoln statue....as alwasy Jacob was not looking again here. I wonder why all of a sudden he doesn't like picture taking.
I love this picture because we are in one picture. Most of the time I am aphotographer or my hubby sometimes :-)

Busy Day Tomorrow

I was too lazy to make dinner today so we decided to eat at CiCi's Pizza tonight, plus hubby came home early from work. We didn't eat much because we were not that hungry. After our dinner, we went to Home depot look for Christmas tree and a present to bring at hubby's work Christmas Party tomorrow night. We didn't find the tree we like as well as the present. We really need to do this because we don't have enough time tomorrow. On the way home, we stopped by at Bass Pro to see if we can get something there; fortunately we found a nice present. I also bought sweaters for me and my son and hubby bought himself a riple. He said that would be his Christmas gift. Anyway, it is going to be a busy day for us tomorow; with Jacob's field trip, hubby's phone interview and house work I am not sure if I can do blogging tomorrow. Too bad, for my RR is up already and didn't do much dropping as well as visiting for three days now due to my busy schedules. Oh well, I will need more catching up to do next week. Pardon me dear friends, I hope you understand. I have to do what needs to be done. See you all later!

using flour in the washing machine...?

I have been busy today doing the laundry, changing the beddings and cleaning and tidying the whole house because my Aunt is coming today from New York. We haven't seen each other for almost seven years. I lived with her in Malaysia before I got here in America. We will be picking her up at the airport this afternoon (4:30pm).
Anyway, while I was loading the laundry in the washing machine, my son, Jacob asked if he could help me and I said "yes", then he started loading it with me. After we loaded the dirty clothes into the washing machine, he asked "Mommy where's the flour? Aren't we going to put flour in the washing machine? I laughed because I think it was funny when he calls the powdered laundry soap "flour". I said what flour? He pointed his finger at the cabinet where I put all the laundry stuff. He is really making laugh a lot lately. Oh! My happy helper...isn’t he sweet or what? I love him so much….

Father and Son

I just wanteveryone to know that my husband is the "best" one in the whole universe. He is not only my husband, but my best friend and confidant. He is supportive in all my decisions and encourages me to do better; loves me for who I was and who I am today. Loving husband and father to our son. Talking about patient; he''s got a lot of it. If you know me I can be mean sometimes and prideful, but he never waves. A generous and kind husband and father who loves and spoils us a lot. He always think us and our happiness before himself and understanding, too! He taught me the real meaning of love and devotion and meekness.

We love him so much! We couldn't have asked for a better husband and a father to our son. He is the man I want to grow old and gray with! The man I want to spend my life with both for time and eternity. I love you, Pumpkin... forever!

Tag got from Bill and Gina and wanted to pass it to Juliet and everybody who wants to participate.

Jacob and his cousin , Cody...

Jacob and his cousin are enjoying their time together because this doesn'thappened a lot fo times since Cody lives in North Carolina; and it is a three hours drive from Virginia where we live. I just can't believe how time flies. He was so small when he was born 9underweight) because he was a preemie; now he is almost four years old and is now attending Pre - School. It was funny, because when we put him to the school the first time, he didn't even want to go and he always crying and just by hearing " time to go to school" when I say it; we would burst into tears. It breaks my heart leaving him at school crying. Well, after two weeks, he loves the school and would even wan to to go even Sat. and Sun.

This pictures of them together are adorable, aren't they?

my baby, Jake...when he was a baby!

... so pure, clean, innocent...sleeping peacefully and soundly
on his Dad's tummy... childrens are really a heritage of the LORD!

reasons for the good things I do...

The two most important men in my life, my husband and son. They are my pride and joy and the source of my strength (next to GOD) ...my inspirations with all the good things I do in my life. I love them so much. Both so good to me, patient, understanding and supportivive. I have been through enough, health wise, and they were there with me all the time. If not for the good example they showed me, I wouldn't be the kind of person I am today. I am humbled for all they did and do to me... selfless love and service! Couldn't ask for more!

Old picutres of Us!

Our wedding day at Albuquerque, New Mexico- LDS Temple.A couple of pictures joined together... wasn't it cool?

Our first home in Texas, just moved in here after six months of living in apartment.

Our first Christmas in our new home...2002!

Was pregnant here with Jacob and it was taken early in the morning, as you can see I was still wearing pajamas.

Gone Fishing!

This one of the State parks in Texas; this was taken during wintertime. You can imagine how cold it was. Sometimes, my hubby can be weird. He wants to fish during cold season!

Grandma watched Baby Jacob while were fishing. He was just barely five months old here in this picture.

My mother in-law and I fishing talking and watching the lake and those fish.

Jake by himself while we were watching him; he was bundled up and was feeling comfortable in his stroller :-). Wasn't he cute?
