“I drink myself!”

Pretty purple flowers.

Yeah this is how mommy feels about the outdoor also.

Yook!!

This is the cutest picture.  I just love it.

Taking a closer look at bugs.

I don’t know why she’s holding that pinecone.  It’s thorny and it pricks.  I guess daddy didn’t notice.

The have an indoor place for the kids to take a closer look at the bugs.

EWWWW!

Butterfly!

Check out the hands behind his back.

She just like to watch big brother eat his popsicle.

Had a tantrum when daddy opened hers for her.

Warming up to the popsicle.

The joy of childhood…

The aftermath of the popsicles attack.

Can you believe this whole place is free?

Mom is trying to get my pear..ruuuun!

Don’t you just want to bite her?

Grandma came for a visit

Hieu’s mom came to visit the kids for a few days and they were showered with so much attention.  We were spoil with great food. It’s just soooo nice to have someone cook for you..hehe.  We went to the Japanese garden on Saturday, then went to my aunt’s house for dinner that night.  I had an impromptu bar-b-que/crawfish cookout on Sunday.  

Hieu’s mom is impress at how much Ai-Vy can talk and how smart Ky-An is.  She told us she printed out a 8x10 of the whole family and put it in her purse.  She pulls it out and show off to everyone she sees.  That’s what I call a proud grandma!!

Getting ready to go out:

Big grin!
