It’s that time of the year again when we get to dine with this amazing couple!

Happy that we made it out to the city in the pouring rain!

From the 35th floor.

It was fun listening to these two analysing the each menu. For me and Andrew, all we said was “gooood”.

Recap of what we ate.

What an honor to know them and being able to spend time with them is a true blessing from God.

I was making my list of things to do yesterday sitting next to Chloe while she was doing her Kumon. She asked me what I was doing so I told her. So she made her list. ‘We are going to have a picnic tomorrow after church’

So we did. In our backyard. Chloe set up the blanket so we can sit in the shade and eat lunch. Then they took toys out and brought them outside to play all afternoon.

It was a gorgeous day to have a picnic!

This afternoon we rushed eating dinner to go back to school for the kids art show.

Shane, downing that cupcake. Luckily, he dropped that cupcake after this picture so he didn’t get to finish it. Thank goodness!

Oh wait, so he got another cookie?

Playing with his best buddy.

Ms. C &  Ms. C. They are super excited about their play-date next week.

I was very impressed with the everyone’s creativity. Great job guys!

Chloe & Shane both yelled out “happy mother’s day!” to me many many times this morning. Then I got so many surprises from them. Thanks guys!!!

Chloe: Mommy, you are the most beautifulest mom ever! And you are such a great designer and the best artist in the whole wide world! And you wear the most beautifulest dresses and I just love you the most! ! !

Shane: Mommy, mommy, you are so beautiful and you’re a best cooker. I love you mommy.

You guys sure know how to please me! You’re just the sweetest things ever! 🙂

We still had so much food left over from yesterday. So yeah…

We went out to get some exercise in the park.

Then we had  ja jang myun for dinner with my mother-in-law.

We invited some friends over for a bbq in our backyard today. So lucked out with a gorgeous weather!

While I was busy making Aloha cocktails (so yummy!),

Andrew was busy grilling.

I was up until midnight last night making burger patties and marinating chicken.

Hard work paid off. It was pretty good!

Friends brought great desserts!

Kids took out all of the beers from the ice bucket

and put their toys in there.

I made sweet and spicy chicken for the guest who stayed over for dinner.

Thank you for coming over to our party! We had a great time and hope you did too. 🙂

Chloe drew these after the guests left. Haha, I love it!

I’ve been cutting his hair all these time and I felt like it really needed some professional touch! After seeing his dad getting his hair cut , he was excited to get his own.

Chloe drew this on Andrew’s iphone while waiting.

Same hair style!!

Can’t say I really like his new hair style. He looks more like a boy than a toddler… 🙁 He’s growing up so fast.

Special report: He’s been diaper free at night for over a month!!

I had a wonderful time at woman’s retreat this weekend. Even though I was only an hour away from home (and it was only for a day and a half), I felt like I was worlds away.
