Last week in March

A few random things:
Jade fell off the couch on the coffee table on Neil's watch. 
Now whenever she sees or remembers her scar, she would pout her mouth and say, " Po (broken). Neil." Seems like she blames Neil for her own mistake :-)


Jade's getting more brave and creative on the playground. She's learned to climb onto the playset many different ways. She's also learned to swing different ways.

On a sunny Friday afternoon, we went to the duck pond next to BYU to see the ducks. 
Daddy got a turtle out to show jade. 
She's thus learned to say Gui (turtle in Chinese).
And she thinks turtles are always night night because they never move.


She loved our neighbor's tricycle. She could get on and off it by herself. 
She's a little too short to reach the paddles.
I know daddy's anxious to get her her own bike.


Jade loves hanging out with Megan and Neil. 
She has so much fun with them.

Dillard's started Saturday Story time. We went there too late. But there was still fun things for kids to play, like drawing stuff, books, big monster sacks to read books on, cookies, and balloons. Jade had a good time there. Oh the nice lady there also gave her some bubbles. She had the most fun with the bubbles. 

Then uncle Neil took a break from work and played coins with jade. 

Mommy went shopping while Jade was playing with auntie Megan. But when I came out of the store, I saw jade and Megan riding the train and waving at me. The train girl was nice enough to stop and pick me up. So the three of us rode for free, AGAIN! It's good to have GuanXi (connections), even in America :-) 


We go grocery shopping every week. Chao's- Buylow-Maycey's-Sam's club. Jade enjoys shopping time, especially when she gets to drive.

Weekend with Mommy

Jade and mommy had a nice weekend. 
We went to see the ducks.
They were so well fed that they won't even take our bread.
Jade ran all over the place chasing ducks.
We did our usual grocery shopping.
We went to the mall to ride the little cars and play on the playground.
Jade loves pushing her stroller instead of being pushed. 

 


 

Sunny day out




Daddy works on the weekend, so our weekend is Fridays.
We had a fun Friday together.
Jade drove her car around the neighborhood.
She even offered mommy a ride, but kicked me off 2 seconds later :-)
We went to the Canyon and played in a park for a couple hours. 
Jade loved the water, even though it was smelly.
She learned to throw rocks in the water to make ripples. 

When dinner time came, mommy and daddy ditched jade and went on a date to celebrate Callie's birthday. 
We ate dinner at a new Chinese restaurant Water Moon in Sandy. 
It was DELISH!
Then we went to watch Hunger Game, while jade was sound asleep at home with auntie Megan.
The movie was a big hit!
We came home at about 1am, and poor daddy had to go to work straight. 

The END.

Lucky jade

I came home at 4pm and jade was playing outside with daddy, auntie Megan and uncle Neil. 
What a lucky girl! 
Who grow up with two pairs of parents? :-) 
It turned out Neil had never been on a swing.
So he had his first time on the swing :-) 
He was very nervous :-)
Jade finally figured out how to drive her mini cooper. 
So she's been riding in the neighborhood every day :-) 
She also loves trying on new make-up in the mall!

She and daddy came to have lunch with mommy. 
W got to play in the Riverwoods for an hour.
Then, her iPad came! 
She played with it and loved it. 
Then we went to the mall and played there for an hour.
Then we came home and played more on the iPad.
Then we went to Sam's Club to do some shopping.
Now she's asleep.
What a life :-)
