First Day of School

David started Kindergarten this year. He was so excited to finally go to school. He is in the afternoon kindergarten class. His teacher is Mrs. Mikulecky. So here are pictures of the BIG Day!

David wanted to have chocolate milk, pancakes, and a strawberry studel for breakfast to start his big day :)

Here is my Big Boy the morning of his first day of school.

Mrs. Mikulecky gave David some confetti to put under his pillow the night before school started to help him sleep good and be ready for school.

David all dressed and ready for school.

Happy Birthday David!!!

I know I am soooo far behind. David turned 5 years old in July. He had a great birthday. We just celebrated at home. He got Mario Cart for the Wii and played it ALL day. He also got a new bike and some other presents. I can't believe I have a 5 year old already. Where does the time go? Love you Bug!!!

Avery Can Read!!!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted on here, I have a lot of catching up to do. Here is a video of Avery reading a few words. She is only 19 months old and is so smart already. We are so proud of her!

Our Virginia Vacation

David, Jaylin, and Avery with their cousins in Virginia

We went to Virginia to visit Yai's family. We haven't seen them in over two years so it was time to go see everyone. We had a great time. I tried to narrow down our pictures, we took a ton. Here are some of our trip.
Check out the view driving to the D.C. LDS Temple, it really does stop traffic especially at night when the temple is all lit up. It really does look like a castle on a hill.

We took the kids to the temple visitors center and had a great time.

Here is our family at the Washington D.C. LDS Temple

After the temple we went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Here is Yai with Jaylin

David, Jaylin, Yai, & Avery at Arlington Cemetery. It was so overwhelming seeing all those headstones, and realizing the sacrifices that were made for our freedom.

This is one of the newer monuments for the Air Force

On Father's Day we took Yai's dad out to eat. Here are three generations of Ningcharoens.

Ward Luau

Our ward held a Luau for a fundraiser for the Young Women. It was so much fun. The kids dressed in their Hawaiian clothes and had a blast. There was a great dinner also, too bad it got really cold and windy so we had to hurry and eat so we could get home and warm up.

Mother's Day

Sorry I don't have any pictures for this post. I had an awesome Mother's Day weekend. It started off Thursday night, we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. Friday we went to a matinee and saw Wolverine. Saturday we went to another matinee and saw Star Trek. Both movies were really good. Sunday my son came in bed to cuddle with me and my daughter brought me a dozen roses. My wonderful husband made me breakfast in bed. Yummy french toast!!! I came downstairs to find a card from my three kidlets, and a card from my hubby. I noticed later that Yai had changed my screen saver on my laptop to say "We Love You" how sweet is that?! We went to church and David and Jaylin showed me what they made for me in their classes and told me they love me. It doesn't get any better than that. I love my family and am so thankful for being blessed with the best husband ever who spoils me rotten, and three of the most beautiful, sweet, loving, perfect children in the world.
