Fun with My Family

One of my favorite games is "Ball Time" which consists of a lot of throwing of balls and running around. It's never quite the same game twice, but it's always a ... well, a ball! I've also slowly come to terms with the idea that I can't always win which was a heard lesson to swallow but now I'm willing to take turns winning.

Time to play ball!
But first we need to "clean up, clean up, everybody do their share".

This picture captures my spirit pretty well

We're very lucky to live in a neighborhood that offers tons of family activities including entertainment on the weekends. We've made it out to the shops / lake a few times to enjoy the festivities this month.

Okay, so it's a little hot

Cooling off in the fountains

Da plane! Da plane!

But I don't wanna go home yet!

Smoke!

A "little" dessert

It's getting to be more and more fun playing with Gavin. He's starting to drag himself around the room, and he sits up, and he's getting into all of my stuff. Okay, maybe that part isn't so great, but the rest of it is!

Smile, Gavin! Lemme show you how.

One of the best family things right now is my Da-Jiu Zong is in Dallas for the next month for one of his rotations. Hopefully we'll get to see him some in between all his long hours and trying to get studying/work done.

Da-Jiu is here!

A special event that we went to as a family was the Nick Jr Live show. It was my first live show, and I enjoyed it immensely. I got to see Kai-Lan, the Wonder Pets, the Backyardigans, and Dora all in person! I was enjoying myself so much, when the lights came on during intermission, I refused to let go of the seat because I was scared they'd make me leave when I wasn't ready yet. I can't wait to go to another!

Let's go to the show!

The excitement ...

... quickly turned into naptime for Daddy


Toys?! They're selling toys?!
I want that one and that one and that one and that one ...

More? Please?

Not sure if this is fun with my family or being a big girl now, but I had my first mishap with an electronic device. I was trying to show Sofia my movie, but somehow it ended up to where Daddy had to do surgery on the DVD player ... after which he found 4 disc all in the machine at once. Whoops. Mommy says it's today's equivalent of jamming the VCR player. V-C-what?

Code blue. Stat.
