Time for updates!

Now that we have internet access, I have no excuse not to post it anymore. We've been greatly blessed and still working hard to complete our home (at least the first floor and the backyard) very soon!

Our many updates:

Mike and I celebrated our 4th year wedding anniversary last month and I cannot believe how time flies but I appreciate him and love him even more than I did when we first got married. He is truly my other half and I love him very much! I don't know what I would do without him. We've been in Hesperia for a year now and getting used to living in the high desert, which from time to time we miss the perfect weather we had in San Diego. But we made many great friends and having lots of fun. Playdates, parkdays, to ballet class, etc.
Abbie, Audrey, and Sammy

I have to start taking more pictures of Abbie with her friends. I am missing pictures of Aisley, Miriam, Lindsey, and Aubrey. Meanwhile,


I had opportunities to make cakes for Mike's co-workers and cupcakes for Relief Society birthday dinner.
This one was for a wedding anniversary:

This one was for one of his co-worker's grand-daughter's birthday cake:


And with a help from my friend, Royah, we made cupcakes to match the theme "Alice in Wonderland":



Last week, we had an emergency... Abbie started complaining with toothache.. sure enough baby root canal. Good thing we have a dentist in our ward. He saved us with subscribing Abbie with amoxicillin (Abbie's face swallowed up. I wish I had taken pictures to remind her) and fixed Abbie's tooth. She was scared at first but was able to go through it and now she loves her dentist!


Here's some of Abbie's favorites:

Playing with Daddy's tools in his garage



Drawing on her own face: this time she was a lion


Practicing her letters, numbers, and drawing faces




Playing on the computer games (weekly visits to the library)



Dress up:

playing/practicing piano

She sleeps just like her daddy!



She loves candies!!!! She was so excited when the Easter bunnies dropped off some eggs for her. We had one came to our house, our family friends' house, and in the mail from Mike's mother, Grandma Keeley.





& of course her favorite, ballet/tap class (I have to fight her to get her changed after her class)




I cannot seem to upload her ballet class videos... I've been waiting over half an hour and still not completed. maybe I'm doing something wrong. anyway, I will post these for now and try uploading the videos later.
well that's all for now!
