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.

Off to the Dentist

Yesterday I took David and Jaylin to the dentist for their check up and cleaning. It was Jaylin's 1st time and she did great! David has no cavities, unfortunately for Jaylin she has to go back on Tuesday to fix a little cavity she has between her two bottom teeth. The dentist said he won't need to numb her just zap zap and she's done. It's really small but he wants to fix it before it has a chance to get big and ugly. Both kids were smiling the whole time and had fun at the dentist. They are so great with kids they even let them hold some of the tools.

David getting a full head x-ray. I saw his x-rays and his permanent teeth are all developing under his baby teeth. It looks so weird seeing all those new teeth. The dentist said it will be a couple more years before David starts loosing his teeth though.

Jaylin getting a full head x-ray. She thought it was a game and wanted to go again.

Good job David and Jaylin I'm so proud of you guys. You did a great job at the dentist.

Avery's 1st Birthday

Avery had her first birthday on March 4th. I baked a chocolate cake which is what I always do for my kids' first birthday. We invited our neighbors over for cake and ice cream. Avery had fun tasting the chocolate frosting and digging into her cake, she even rubbed it in her hair! Avery is a happy one year old with no teeth. Their are two on the bottom that we have been waiting for months to break through, hopefully it won't be too much longer now. I still can't believe my baby is one already :( Where does the time go? Happy Birthday baby girl, we love you so much!!!

Avery trying to blow out her candle. She ended up blowing a raspberry to put out the candle. Good thing it was only on her piece of cake ;)

Playing with her frosting

Oh that tastes yummy!

All messy with cake in her hair and all over her body. I think my little monk-a-moo had a lot of fun eating and playing with her cake!!!

She was having so much fun. Happy Birthday Sweetheart.

50th Birthday!!

Jaylin's 3rd Birthday

Jaylin turned 3 years old this year!!! We went to Mc Donald's with our neighbors and ate dinner and the kids played on the play ground. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream.
