We had such an amazing trip. It is only a 1.5 hour flight from KL on the west coast of Thailand. The hotel greeted us with fresh flower necklaces which the girls loved. It was sophisticated enough (great food and drinks) for the adults but really catered to the kids as well. <div><br /></div><div>The first day we arrange for a traditional Thai style long boat to take us to Koyao Island (off the east coast) to visit our good friends that live across the street. They were vacationing there for a week so it worked out great. The boat was slow and the water a little choppy but everyone handled fine. The scenery was so beautiful even after a hour you did not tire of it. Once on the island the kids just played and played while we relaxed by the pool and on the beach. Samantha and Claire even did some snorkeling, more hunting for shells that looking at fish.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next day we stayed around the resort swimming and such. We were headed to the pool and when we rounded the corner to the lobby there was a baby elephant. Not everyday you see that in a hotel lobby. The hotel was equipped to make happy kids which equals happy adults. You could check our bikes, go on the water slide, enjoy the kids club and they even circus training school. Samantha flew on the trapeze and had so much fun.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the third day we took a boat excursion out to "James Bond" island. We rode a speed boat out to the Phi Phi islands then boarded sea canoes and had paddled tour through sea caves. It was really freaking cool. The girls loved having to lay down in order to make it through the caves. Kyle and I just took the scenery and experience. We had lunch at local floating restaurant geared to feeding all the tourists. Here the girls got to hold an eagle. Again, not your everyday vacation experience. </div><div><br /></div><div>The last few days we just lounged and enjoyed the resort and the family time. Samantha finally warmed up to the elephant and even fed it some bananas. Emily on the other hand kept her distance. Overall a wonderful family holiday.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy New Year!</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-22471475516710682492011-10-31T05:51:00.000-07:002011-10-31T05:58:30.059-07:00Emily SwimmingI finally got a video of Emily showing her swimming skills!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxRIgqtX0HdbxmLaHlY7ySiR_DofbKJXJxMhfUd0kR5ywAQhIjjFUGHa9qe2j8udnBbFujB2U1Adq0Q-7w1uA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-90516894505334661552011-10-31T05:25:00.001-07:002011-10-31T05:37:19.786-07:00Halloween<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92MKxQEQzI2eV9PVMFnDdtptL8UxOveQZLHfOL7rIU5GLGpBALmdeqyQRyumlYuSAra15crj_UFk8z6uiZaqw1H6PAbKL10FaJ_ZaG6L_YVH6MMX4jCxGe3XZwlcN-ZcOU1DJ6EHQ-0g/s1600/DSC02424.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right;

This year there were many more shops carrying costumes, decorations and candy. Being from the US Halloween is normal to us but we are one of the few countries that celebrate it. Many of our friends and neighbors have no idea what trick or treating means. Thankfully Samantha is at an American school that embraces the fun of the holiday. On Friday night they had a carnival and trick or treat trail around the school. Then today Samantha wore her costume to school and had Halloween arts and crafts plus a party. Lastly I organized trick or treating in the neighborhood for tonight. We had a TON of children come out for candy.<div><br /></div><div>This year Samantha was Fancy Nancy from the popular children's book series and Emily was Annie. Both costumes turned out really cute. I can hardly stand how adorable Emily was in the wig. Surprisingly she kept it one the entire carnival and trick or treating. Here are some pictures of them with their friends.</div><div><br /></div><div>The last picture is of some of the weird candy. The orange thing is a "jelly". Looks just like a jello shot but without the alcohol. They are a big treat in asia. Not sure where the other stuff is from but some random stuff. I guess with a bag of Hershey's mixed candy going for $12 a bag you end up with some knock offs. </div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy!</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-70859410384315510402011-10-02T04:24:00.000-07:002011-10-02T04:28:25.746-07:00New MilestoneToday, we had a break through at the Liskow house.

I have taken Samantha a few times and she truly is a natural so I wanted Kyle to see it. He decided to climb as well. It amazes me that Samantha has no fear and scales the highest walls will little or no effort. At the end of the hour she was climbing down and later we found out from the instructor that it is really hard to climb down and avid climbers do it to for an extra hard work out. <div><br /></div><div>After the hour was over Kyle's forearms were burning and he was ready for some advil. Samantha on the other hand was ready to go again. Emily even got a taste by climbing the little kid rock while I enjoyed a latte. Nice family morning.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-79032559520939387462011-09-11T20:56:00.000-07:002011-09-11T21:00:04.483-07:00Hari Raya<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiGXRUNW87vLD0hukDJc1AJY1RCbWCsE9xLlkMOHWj22iB2fYnUVGcsR6altaa4uJmg04ebvZW9g698yL6EST0vburIfA5HpWKf-nuQD4lJTjwy4LjvgJt1eVfftvn0EWGh3Pm4vV1Tg/s1600/IMG_1247.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtiGXRUNW87vLD0hukDJc1AJY1RCbWCsE9xLlkMOHWj22iB2fYnUVGcsR6altaa4uJmg04ebvZW9g698yL6EST0vburIfA5HpWKf-nuQD4lJTjwy4LjvgJt1eVfftvn0EWGh3Pm4vV1Tg/s400/IMG_1247.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651317910973468226" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhGI9PiG_BEHWHFBO4NN4olAlS6lw5cLADY1nB8LMgkqevefB2vQQGFwTjlN_ZelxjYG27y0lip_1HsxJOV-aDq8cMKR9P9D6bnRDBv9m8yzFqsQL2DHcExTeSpM3Vz9ctR6lyQPYKhY/s1600/IMG_1251.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhGI9PiG_BEHWHFBO4NN4olAlS6lw5cLADY1nB8LMgkqevefB2vQQGFwTjlN_ZelxjYG27y0lip_1HsxJOV-aDq8cMKR9P9D6bnRDBv9m8yzFqsQL2DHcExTeSpM3Vz9ctR6lyQPYKhY/s400/IMG_1251.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651317723619449746" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4Sn25FmwEzdsn6H_2R-8Fz4M8A5jicFovoZHIgnM5MU7ihA_D-QbsftauDxcBOT93qbTWP8ZfwWv9I-4HQtdgR5oq6onnY4VBf15Z_P60nSYueqRpRz1U4g9-XXSLe8CuMLmPXoy9q4/s1600/IMG_1238.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4Sn25FmwEzdsn6H_2R-8Fz4M8A5jicFovoZHIgnM5MU7ihA_D-QbsftauDxcBOT93qbTWP8ZfwWv9I-4HQtdgR5oq6onnY4VBf15Z_P60nSYueqRpRz1U4g9-XXSLe8CuMLmPXoy9q4/s400/IMG_1238.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651317723114017170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyiHhggqM_VsBjm7wwCI7ioYx2qnAmdzWrvcv7sB__fcpB3nYqsEHK35iKKPkWUOHN6zMWHRyiEef_DcD31trs6JIbGZw7gLeH08qcN8QP4jykKwsKsXQlEg25RB4W01f0Ct2tbfmaZ3s/s1600/IMG_1242.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyiHhggqM_VsBjm7wwCI7ioYx2qnAmdzWrvcv7sB__fcpB3nYqsEHK35iKKPkWUOHN6zMWHRyiEef_DcD31trs6JIbGZw7gLeH08qcN8QP4jykKwsKsXQlEg25RB4W01f0Ct2tbfmaZ3s/s400/IMG_1242.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651317717578082466" /></a><br />Both girls celebrated Hari Raya at school last week.

<br />Today was Samantha's first official day of Kindergarten. They went last week and had a staggered start with a few kids a day so they could warm up to Ms. Vukman. That was nice but I am glad they are on a normal schedule from here on out. <div>
<br /></div><div>Her teacher is new to KL and to MKIS. She is from Canada and seems really good with the kids. She gets down on their level and yet is very firm with them. Samantha has four other kids from her last year's class in the same class this year so that is nice. Plus lots of new friends. I think she is going to have a good year.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Here are a few pictures of her with Claire, next to her new cubbie and with Ms. Vukman and the teacher assistant Ms. Hanita.</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-47621349854075197562011-05-12T06:33:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:25:01.422-07:00Bomba<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9T0WgSBU-q9Fw0GRhiT0FD6IkFsKqln1fqE1OPRJYQdPTmgkdA4TQ6Vq0YPupahs6om57AUTLnfI-_1ODtMDAm_8_RuM0Zi0q3HNzhd-jpFJv8yB7C6Ch0FVrX3ORG_KYJHGHl4QK6PY/s1600/IMG_0991.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right;

That is "fire" in the local language of Malaysia. Today I went with Samantha's class to visit the local bomba station. It was really great. First let me say that I would venture to guess that not any of the fireman spoke English, however what they lacked in informational lectures they made up for (x2) in the hands on experiences.</div><div><br /></div><div>First they set of the fire alarm and about 5 fire fighters came down the fire poll. Then they let teachers and mom's have a turn at the pole. Too funny. I should have got some pictures of that. Then the kids got to spray the water hose. They just thought that was awesome. The poor pedestrians walking by got a slight shower every now and then. Five year olds don't have the best control on a high pressure hose. Then the kids got to ride in the lift. Now they were really cool. And lastly the entire class (16 kids and 2 adults) piled in the fire engine and they turned the sirens on full blast and drove them in circles around the parking lot. You have to look closely but you can see all them in one of the pictures. The bonus part was trying on the uniforms. Samantha didn't want to, but the other kids were really cute in all the gear. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am not sure if it was after the pole sliding, spraying the high pressure hose or walking over to the lift did the all the moms say "we certainly would not be doing all of this at fire station in our country". When Kyle got home and saw the lift pictures he went into his safety engineer mode about how everyone would need to be tied off with hard hats etc. It was pretty funny.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, everyone was safe and had a fabulous time. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh I forgot to mention that when Samantha was up in the lift the fireman hit a button and then Lady Gaga was blaring one of her top songs. I think they really had access to a radio on the lift. It was so funny. I guess everyone should be able to dance and jam while working, right?</div><div><br /></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-58076655944679166892011-05-10T04:29:00.000-07:002011-05-10T07:20:31.159-07:00Sorry<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSP8e-u2lo5bLZ_utXfV_H8F3PyDlvyfG7R02mR44qOyAYsDNAPEY5dgDbRYxtf0v94WhWk9RKnxKq7CpP2Gf8KaJkr7-nwww8Co9tYfFMgWkzwNQriJp4_k9_6j9QPc6hSa3WKlbhogM/s1600/sorry.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSP8e-u2lo5bLZ_utXfV_H8F3PyDlvyfG7R02mR44qOyAYsDNAPEY5dgDbRYxtf0v94WhWk9RKnxKq7CpP2Gf8KaJkr7-nwww8Co9tYfFMgWkzwNQriJp4_k9_6j9QPc6hSa3WKlbhogM/s400/sorry.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605092090355425714" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiO-egienlPdRkw_4xp1fb3CIcn75f2MU-IRJMn64l9MdmkNYkHafBYo52dkfSittFqm1DfD5szOHqkpXe5uS3A0eqn6NxOJ_EhiToI_2_mOATIKD3pHQ4ckNVWjWzz9tQYH8lbcE3TCM/s1600/sorry.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Today the girls were playing at the neighborhood play ground with friends when Emily comes over to me crying. I look down and her face and shirt are soaking wet. I was a little puzzled because there really was no water around. Then the truth came out, Samantha spit water all over her. I just about lost it and started in on the whole "unacceptable" speech. I told Samantha she had to go straight to her room when we got home and back to her room right after dinner. She cried and screamed and then eventually stomped up stairs.

Monday we went and had pedicures with her friend Hali. The girls decided that they wanted ladybugs on their toes. Thankfully the nail techs around here are true artists so they painted Samantha's toes pink and then tiny white ladybugs on each of her toes. You can imagine how tiny they had to be considering the size of her little bitty toe nails. She LOVES them!<div><br /></div><div>Then Tuesday we went rock climbing a local indoor place in one of the malls. It was fabulous. Samantha was a natural Spider Woman. She climbed strait up to the top no problem. Coming down was a little tricky but she managed. We are definitely going back and taking Daddy the next time. Got some cool pictures.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-49315459665553378222011-03-01T21:00:00.000-08:002011-03-01T21:06:37.166-08:00Check UpYesterday I went for my annual check up.

There is a really nice equestrian center very close to our house and they do pony rides on Sunday mornings. Emily was galloping all over the house saying "giddy up" but of course when we got there she was too scared. She watched the from afar. Then there was brave Samantha. Who would have thought right? She was a little nervous at first but then jumped right on and had fun. Nice morning event.<div><br /></div><div>Once we were back in the car Emily blew air through her lips and made a perfect horse noise. It was so freaking cute.

It is so cute. Both girls dressed up and had little parades and celebrations at school. Emily's school also had a lion dance which she can not stop talking about. They gave the kids oranges for good luck. We also took them to see a really cool acrobatic lion dance at one of the malls. Unbelievable. I wish we had the video camera. I posted a few lion dance photos from a ladies night party I attended. Not as impressive as some but still fun to watch.<div><br /></div><div>They both looked adorable in their dresses!</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-54374919976480497242011-02-15T19:43:00.000-08:002011-02-15T22:47:44.619-08:00Valentine's Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauh-pb4hp7MFaFKwwZzRcayXIS402Arc_aDsASSDLYG-ljXL-SWqG30hyphenhyphenze7j1cwF_GUn0M8eVixx1Ftv91-CEZCpQf57ALtbAFxth22xRVR9wkcEyLWZVSSEocBvJwcwuw7QqZvqCj4/s1600/DSC00622.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauh-pb4hp7MFaFKwwZzRcayXIS402Arc_aDsASSDLYG-ljXL-SWqG30hyphenhyphenze7j1cwF_GUn0M8eVixx1Ftv91-CEZCpQf57ALtbAFxth22xRVR9wkcEyLWZVSSEocBvJwcwuw7QqZvqCj4/s200/DSC00622.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574175391043013570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiho2V-LEM0EPg0qWqzDzO2vChBX31ngaGSTBw_Ek9uc67rAB_VD76CdEg-fHqRfB_eoNauOTWGMDwFOSFmbedDtxwmUWGMMkTJNI7FQH7rHulEWPgskaAfLyc5QIikR90l8CxCNinFWMg/s1600/DSC00620.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiho2V-LEM0EPg0qWqzDzO2vChBX31ngaGSTBw_Ek9uc67rAB_VD76CdEg-fHqRfB_eoNauOTWGMDwFOSFmbedDtxwmUWGMMkTJNI7FQH7rHulEWPgskaAfLyc5QIikR90l8CxCNinFWMg/s200/DSC00620.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574175383238935778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRrZp2KULKYjtYNCJIhKMC_CELh9zLbElht0rJwcnTOXDyAY84wHZWumPm3EKZo2QaZ1o_O76h5kIKuLUNcK6U8-uHPOQU6beitbC45c9ikHQwP28S7VEiGjFYKcaO-qrazMOrlqVvqo/s1600/DSC00619.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRrZp2KULKYjtYNCJIhKMC_CELh9zLbElht0rJwcnTOXDyAY84wHZWumPm3EKZo2QaZ1o_O76h5kIKuLUNcK6U8-uHPOQU6beitbC45c9ikHQwP28S7VEiGjFYKcaO-qrazMOrlqVvqo/s200/DSC00619.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574175378748408562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCTbZeJrAVf4tYoRnmy7GCy5FglkMMM02rHA-uSKAbz5ib6b608DLuItmadc9vNjNgR91tXk4wZtrEDoScvFUwQTS-Cz5pxUxxfxsjwU8FBXa-KijJreSAYrtAKNJ9Hd7QSN2Lk14Pmw/s1600/DSC00613.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCTbZeJrAVf4tYoRnmy7GCy5FglkMMM02rHA-uSKAbz5ib6b608DLuItmadc9vNjNgR91tXk4wZtrEDoScvFUwQTS-Cz5pxUxxfxsjwU8FBXa-KijJreSAYrtAKNJ9Hd7QSN2Lk14Pmw/s200/DSC00613.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574175375659811970" /></a><br />Although they don't really celebrate Valentine's Day here, we had a small celebration. Kyle and the girls picked out some beautiful flowers and chocolates for me. And then the girls and I made Kyle a special dinner. Samantha set the table beautifully, including her homemade place cards. We had heart shape meatloaf and sprinkle decorated chocolate tart. Here are a few photos. Oh yes, and the girls wore their special red dresses for the occasion.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-78702287537187265302010-12-25T15:23:00.000-08:002010-12-26T17:11:46.071-08:00Disney<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyKvAZPjywvl89dsS-gXlLMzFIyKRtyY-3OGpjiCnUMav1llCOlVClE37jljwcx4FpWW0w17HAcmlI8ppyO9g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><div><br /></div><div>For months I have been planning a surprise trip to Disneyland in Hong Kong for the kids, my parents and us. My mom has been dying to take the kids and with us moving over here it has not worked out so well. We have had several friends go to Hong Kong and they said it is a much smaller park but for the little kids it is great. </div><div><br /></div><div>To execute the surprise I wrapped up little mickey and minnie characters and tied a note around their necks that said "See you at Disneyland in Hong Kong". Then we gave them on Christmas Eve. The attached video is the reaction. My mom is priceless. The girls are excited but don't really know what they are in for. Anyway not much time to pack and finalize plans because we leave tomorrow morning!</div><div><br /></div><div>In order to balance out all the kid mania we are going to the island of Macau first which is the Las Vegas of Asia. Kyle and I are excited about this part. We will stay at the Venetian for two nights and then go the Disney Hotel for three nights. We thought it would be a good time to get some gambling and drinking done while we have baby sitters. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Post pictures soon.</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-47468819143829050592010-12-09T22:18:00.000-08:002010-12-09T22:27:04.407-08:00Emily's Birthday Part 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjS55KkZ2kQK6hBbMTcycKKc-hyPCI4r5i1Nn7IkfbwWXAeMjbRwkX_oDKiOCVkVitXThyNXpbUfqEyg_2rN6k-Ad9_YARtFi8KXMjp3wP0GI-jQ3xCQHQZRRSGo_binVnA7K7IAcyAw4/s1600/DSC_0483.JPG"><img style="float:right;

Yes, that is correct, the Easter Bunny in the Christmas play. I wasn't sure the connection either until after the performance. One of the teachers wrote this cute play about the skinny <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Santa</span>. He just wasn't hungry and Mrs. Clause was worried because all the children were expecting a fat Santa. Anyway they did the first number "Eat It" to the Michael Jackson song Beat It. Then Santa got a little fatter. Then they decided he needed some "Gingerbread" hence the second dance. Once again he got fatter. Then he need something healthy so the next dance was all about "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Healthy</span> Foods". Then enters the Easter Bunny to fatten Santa even more. There were 5 kids in the production that were one offs with lines. I have to say I was really worried about Samantha memorizing her lines but she mastered them perfectly. They also prerecorded their voices that they played live just in case anyone froze. <div><br /></div><div>She had to say:</div><div>I can see the problem here</div><div>I know just what to do</div><div>Don't you worry Santa</div><div>I can fix this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hullabaloo</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I eat Easter eggs at Easter</div><div>At Christmas I eat Turkey</div><div>Get yourself a plate of it</div><div>And soon you will be feeling perky.</div><div><br /></div><div>Quite ambitious lines for a 4 year old I thought but she did fine. So the last dance was all the "Turkeys" to fatten Santa even more. By the end he was all set. It was really cute and all the kids did a great job. </div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy the photos.</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-13325650862850513232010-11-29T04:01:00.001-08:002010-11-29T04:11:24.532-08:00First Trophy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjZZPUU8eb3VLFd902kDYZBwSA-3ltCG4ud2ubqAPkgzWCLUsDr8mYg1R4tRFgyXbyVrR_Ac3nk6QOSCYHKhjM_9QHUGwBy-msrCoy3ZszF17U8RvD05ttFhYgtAZVQX2pwN4WzfAdtE/s1600/IMG_0762.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjZZPUU8eb3VLFd902kDYZBwSA-3ltCG4ud2ubqAPkgzWCLUsDr8mYg1R4tRFgyXbyVrR_Ac3nk6QOSCYHKhjM_9QHUGwBy-msrCoy3ZszF17U8RvD05ttFhYgtAZVQX2pwN4WzfAdtE/s200/IMG_0762.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544941430302999794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw9qr6ntqIyQz6O_aexxeHklMxuwSEkx3AoU8wM1v8DjYwE15y-T46ydjm1dmRSkIo30ePPpDJ3Won_qDDpXTV52Suzi0kQsKkqhjtUXLvNxGO_b-06cT6_l9Uv5OYPu3CiOMAwbPMoqg/s1600/IMG_0759.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw9qr6ntqIyQz6O_aexxeHklMxuwSEkx3AoU8wM1v8DjYwE15y-T46ydjm1dmRSkIo30ePPpDJ3Won_qDDpXTV52Suzi0kQsKkqhjtUXLvNxGO_b-06cT6_l9Uv5OYPu3CiOMAwbPMoqg/s200/IMG_0759.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544941427267450802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SFrnplzn9V0whjtFRwEyCYnsUvWbL4Pr9VtFR8nkbl83P5wPde3hyphenhyphenMjIIdqz4Ot6YEvuxDRuRqaptk88pVR8UmFJocu8rmV1Ol3QNXNlwptPI22yAbQg8E6zrJhD6XfNgTShOxb05ug/s1600/IMG_0758.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3SFrnplzn9V0whjtFRwEyCYnsUvWbL4Pr9VtFR8nkbl83P5wPde3hyphenhyphenMjIIdqz4Ot6YEvuxDRuRqaptk88pVR8UmFJocu8rmV1Ol3QNXNlwptPI22yAbQg8E6zrJhD6XfNgTShOxb05ug/s200/IMG_0758.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544941418610524562" /></a><br />Well soccer has come to an end. Just when Samantha was starting to get into it. Well last week she was playing goalie and pretty much got her head stuck in the net playing around. But besides that she was doing good. Nonetheless all the kids had fun and best of all...they got trophies at the end of the season party. Samantha just loves hers. A few pics from the party. Samantha and her coach, Chris. Her good friend Karan and her friend Annabel. Both in her class and also on her team. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-62045735625144391572010-11-14T19:03:00.000-08:002010-11-21T17:14:27.603-08:00Chinese Wedding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhaZZhJNQJjR1pwwQzQAPLoT2BwT_v1oRUp5NHguxsqsPl8mFzhjV-vt1pDYfKE8w3sHD_Xj8psz4dZA9zZ3Iflyzc9dpQH8hlmfseSnpo-g0udQ1U-VIgxC3LTzQqoIFj_TK2bG4LMU/s1600/IMG_0736.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIhaZZhJNQJjR1pwwQzQAPLoT2BwT_v1oRUp5NHguxsqsPl8mFzhjV-vt1pDYfKE8w3sHD_Xj8psz4dZA9zZ3Iflyzc9dpQH8hlmfseSnpo-g0udQ1U-VIgxC3LTzQqoIFj_TK2bG4LMU/s200/IMG_0736.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539609645578241058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBf7rwbmu63BNM5cCcCTxlGPu_AdD6LrHBMn46qYCQG-AiGO8troBMwZ9yPtgCDWPxL5DtlahXFkObGIxvr9vG5MvOGQv1Z_Rbj900ZJ3fHB6oxx1LnFEshCkrPyHE8q7RJA3qbk8Px20/s1600/IMG_0732.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBf7rwbmu63BNM5cCcCTxlGPu_AdD6LrHBMn46qYCQG-AiGO8troBMwZ9yPtgCDWPxL5DtlahXFkObGIxvr9vG5MvOGQv1Z_Rbj900ZJ3fHB6oxx1LnFEshCkrPyHE8q7RJA3qbk8Px20/s200/IMG_0732.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539609639914180466" /></a><br />Saturday night Kyle and I attended our first Chinese wedding reception. Eu Jin, works for Kyle and graciously invited us to be part of the celebration. Evidently the wedding activities go on for well over a week. Last weekend the bride's family hosted a party for her side and this weekend was hosted by his family. It was at a local hotel ballroom and probably had 250+ people in attendance. The invitation stated there was a cocktail reception starting at 6:30 and dinner at 7:00 SHARP. We arrived a few minutes after 7:00 because our GPS gave us a few wrong turns. We were running in so we would not be late. Yeah right. They invited us to our seats in the ballroom at 7:15 and it was not until 8:00 that most other people rolled in. They started a slide show presentation with all their engagement photos around 8:15 and the bride and groom were announced at 8:30 or so. So much for "sharp". <div><br /></div><div>The main event is the food. They serve a 8-10 course meal (see menu) and between some of the courses were some toasts from the groom's parents, another slide show and champagne toast in Chinese. Then the bride and groom, plus family, travel to each table to toast with guests. It is traditional to toast "Yom Seng". Which is like cheers. We sat with some of Kyle's other collogues so it was nice. </div><div><br /></div><div>By the time the food came I was starving. I first had some chicken with cashews. Pretty safe. Then I took a BIG bite of "noodles". It looked like a clear,rice fettucini noodle with a chili sauce. Not exactly. Once in my mouth I knew I was in big trouble. The crunchy, yet jelly consistency was bad enough but the overpowering fish taste was enough to make we gag on the spot. So bite number two politely went into the cloth napkin. Thai Style Jellyfish. Yuck, yuck, yuck.</div><div><br /></div><div>Considering I only indulged in maybe three of the courses I would have done ANYTHING to stop at Taco Cabana on the way home!</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall a great experience. Eu Jin and his wife are such a lovely couple and it was fun to experience something so different than a typical American wedding.</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-89471994065625116702010-11-11T05:14:00.001-08:002010-11-11T19:47:58.053-08:00Kyle's Birthday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg6VQzLfHz1Mal6YBiKh6hp_T4MP0ki7dntmJMzBK_FlRvdyzn_CtA3bcUdugpY7dtsdVJKYJeC62R6dT5sIGoYRBZvlUB4fC-N2q95hAgKCl4e1CPsRZHvkQ5Nlscg0UW7iAjFTLmBU/s1600/IMG_6268.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg6VQzLfHz1Mal6YBiKh6hp_T4MP0ki7dntmJMzBK_FlRvdyzn_CtA3bcUdugpY7dtsdVJKYJeC62R6dT5sIGoYRBZvlUB4fC-N2q95hAgKCl4e1CPsRZHvkQ5Nlscg0UW7iAjFTLmBU/s200/IMG_6268.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538504924347032610" /></a><br />After all the fanfare with the splash party, Kyle's birthday was pretty low key. The girls made him a card and I baked a pumpkin cheesecake (by request). We opened presents and ate chili. Some hoopla huh? He is going out with the guys tomorrow night and then next weekend we have a nice couples dinner to celebrate a few other birthdays as well. <div><br /></div><div>Now that Emily is at a bigger school she gets lots of practice singing Happy Birthday and is so cute doing it.

We could not have picked a better theme for her...Splish, Splash! She LOVES playing in the water and her friends did too. We sent out beach ball invites, had a sprinkler, two water tables, a baby pool, and a beach ball cake. It was perfect for this age too. No games, just playing. <div><br /></div><div>Our camera died right at cake time so these are just pictures of the outside party.

How can she already be two?? The preschool here does such a good job with birthdays. The parents answer a few questions from the school and they turn it into a birthday walk. They light a candle and put it in the middle of a circle and then the birthday girl/boy walks one lap for every year. So the first lap they talk about when and where they were born and other details of when they were a baby. The second lap is all about being one and their favorite toys, foods, etc. Emily didn't "walk" too well but she loved the attention nonetheless. Then we sang, ate cupcakes and looked at her picture board. The other children loved the photos, especially the one with Emily and the kangaroo. <div><br /></div><div>Friday (her real birthday) is a public holiday for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">deepavali</span> so Kyle has the day off too. Hope to do something fun as a family. Then Saturday we are having a splash party at our house. Emily loves nothing more than playing in the water. So we are setting up a baby pool, two water tables and a sprinkler. I invited her baby play group and two other friends. EVERYONE said yes so with mommies, daddies, and siblings it will be 30+ people. Yikes. Wish us luck!</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09272503589183969789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741320036272298388.post-14987450890563546462010-11-01T19:29:00.001-07:002010-11-01T19:49:16.897-07:00She is Coming Around<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0GQT5JbqRHKB_0jjX93WpuJQC2fRLfPrWW4hLBIi_arcsTR3HVKowGfQxEKwH2Ty4p-6L5VBmYxrnyijJbc17i4bRJdjattBQOpvArxtSB_458x7lmoRWqiZXhUb5KtpRIiB-DFc2YY/s1600/IMG_5970.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0GQT5JbqRHKB_0jjX93WpuJQC2fRLfPrWW4hLBIi_arcsTR3HVKowGfQxEKwH2Ty4p-6L5VBmYxrnyijJbc17i4bRJdjattBQOpvArxtSB_458x7lmoRWqiZXhUb5KtpRIiB-DFc2YY/s200/IMG_5970.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534775228768739186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RDcqB6obfd4x_UhZcA-Z9DKE5_Zx10U842OmTqaC9FiAv4fFtTqcBPaj7jtsWNm36zvzhinonqvN1qvIbRaZ8uq2QtV-bEI9fOimLwLUuImWtgT0nmjuHk4mUDBPF4ubLgdZsjjOlpA/s1600/IMG_5967.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RDcqB6obfd4x_UhZcA-Z9DKE5_Zx10U842OmTqaC9FiAv4fFtTqcBPaj7jtsWNm36zvzhinonqvN1qvIbRaZ8uq2QtV-bEI9fOimLwLUuImWtgT0nmjuHk4mUDBPF4ubLgdZsjjOlpA/s200/IMG_5967.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534775218187234370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYE3jmNg719j9FTpyiuPHlQNFTomA9AOC2ExX3a3aguKBR594bYrdNY3F9pw6J0AhtgmVXFOtfMasoGPPMZyrW0KHwK4MaMkMfEvtHGEeJNOi7SIpFSUNSBOzReJ7ug6ABum0WKcIiBWE/s1600/IMG_5965.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYE3jmNg719j9FTpyiuPHlQNFTomA9AOC2ExX3a3aguKBR594bYrdNY3F9pw6J0AhtgmVXFOtfMasoGPPMZyrW0KHwK4MaMkMfEvtHGEeJNOi7SIpFSUNSBOzReJ7ug6ABum0WKcIiBWE/s200/IMG_5965.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534775212532079218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iKZfgUgbWZmH5Ank7C_KflaoQoIU5DoqVJXJWiWoUSBeLVzNqs8FQDOiwyvOuGMmCoCQvIY77_QFOMUzCYoPDGZs4N5-dXx2WM2qZmyamU9g4PxjESoKUXfbaXNWplEjaqFt3_bzqyM/s1600/IMG_5960.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_iKZfgUgbWZmH5Ank7C_KflaoQoIU5DoqVJXJWiWoUSBeLVzNqs8FQDOiwyvOuGMmCoCQvIY77_QFOMUzCYoPDGZs4N5-dXx2WM2qZmyamU9g4PxjESoKUXfbaXNWplEjaqFt3_bzqyM/s200/IMG_5960.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534775203238565650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEuDva7gFLgotNQkrwZ5w3vfiC4jcBFyWNjwy8Y_Ome_OI2cmD9WcM25aqYsiq8AtueLf2qBOdOgxVpesUsJM0aVdzwPvcbkbLhlHG1WoPMNOcgbgaZVFz-3Zrw06pG1uiaVFA0KYzRug/s1600/IMG_5959.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEuDva7gFLgotNQkrwZ5w3vfiC4jcBFyWNjwy8Y_Ome_OI2cmD9WcM25aqYsiq8AtueLf2qBOdOgxVpesUsJM0aVdzwPvcbkbLhlHG1WoPMNOcgbgaZVFz-3Zrw06pG1uiaVFA0KYzRug/s200/IMG_5959.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534775200910113858" /></a><br />Believe it or not, Samantha is coming around and enjoying soccer now.
