Fun, Fun, Fun

Today was surprisingly warm enough, so we spend our day outside in the big field behind our apartment playing in the leaves and enjoying the nice weather while it last. Alex did a lot better this year and even let us buried him in a little pile of leaves that I was able to make without a rake...We had an awesome time and if tomorrow is as nice, we might even do the same thing while getting our laundry done. I really like this time of the year even if it is a little bit too cold outside.

 Genne was having with fun her shadow, she was actually dancing too...Silly girl!!!

 Alex even let Genne buried him :)

 Genne had the most fun...She definately knows how to enjoy a pile of leaves.

Genne is TALKING

Soooo, our little miss Genevieve is starting to talk...It is so cute watching her trying to explain herself, or listen to her giving orders. She is growing up so fast and learning really quick. She can identify some of the letters in the alphabet and also some numbers. She also knows a few shapes.

The funniest thing she did was put Matt and I in time-out a few times, ha ha ha... the look on her face was so serious too - I could not stop laughing!

One day, she kept opening the window in the front room, and I kept telling her not to. After a little while, I guess she had enough because she looked at me with a really mad face (a little vein popping out of her forehead) and she said, " GO TO YOUR ROOM"...Me, I was all confused and just stood there looking at her. She said it one more time, and since I was not listening to her, she proceeded to take my hand while saying, "GO! GO! GO!" and dragged me to her room, then shut the door... It took me a while to realize what just happened, and by that time, I wasn't sure what to do with her! So, I just laughed (by the way, she was not thrilled that I was laughing, so she got mad)...I sure love that little girl...She definitely brings something special into our little family.

Today, I was laying on the floor and she step on my head and said: "Ooops, sorry mama"...She is sooo adorable! and she says thing like, " no no no", " there it is" she is turning unto quite a little talking.

Primary Program

            

Alex had his first Primary Program in church today and he did as well as we will expect our little guy to do. Half of the time he was yawning or just chilling on his teacher's lap. When he was time for him to "say" his part...He said something no one understood and his teacher said: " This year Alex learned that; The first principle of the gospel is Faith"... I absolutely LOVE the primary program even though I always thought Alex will be talking before that and go up like a big kid and say his line...I was still glad to see him up there and looking all grown up.

Happy 4th Birthday, Alex!!!

Yesterday, my baby boy turn four...Can not believe he is already four...He turning unto quiet the little cutie with patient and loving. He progressing so well and understand most thing we tell him. He is already making full sentence here and there and says the cutest thing. He full of love for his family and have the most tender heart ever...He always looks so sad when he gets in trouble and cry while saying " So sorry, Alex sorry", kind of sad :(. He love sister and play so well with her and even spoil her a ton.

We were up at 7 AM to get ready for school, so I did not have the time to make his birthday breakfast ( which I don't thing he even notice or care) and we sent to school with some treats for his "friends" and the teachers had a little party for him. After he got home from school, he got so excited when he saw his Angry Birds and Sonic outfits on the couch...So, after lunch, he put Genne down for a nap and went outside to have his birthday pictures taking...So, glad that the sun was at least shining so we could do it in the shining and not freeze while doing the shoot.

Here are a few of the pics that we took...LOVE his outfit, they are both hand-painted with great details and even had hat to match. Whenever I will put the sonic hat on his head, he will say " That's so nice"...I am glad he liked his outfits.

Sonic the hedgehog 

Angry Birds ( His favorite is the red bird)

After the pictures, we came home and watch Diego and play Angry bird and sonic on his Ipod. After sister wake up, we color while watching YouTube video of Angry Birds...Then he felt asleep on the couch. After Daddy get home with dinner ( he likes fried rice ), We had dinner, then cake and here is his cake...My friend did such a great job with it. Alex couldn't stop talking about Angry Bird when he saw it and was jumping around with excitement. Seeing the look in his face totally worth what I paid for the cake.

Look at all the DETAILS on the cake...LOVE IT!
