I'M BACK!!!

Yay! my cable is back! FINALLY! Almost a month w/o internet sucks, the 1st week was hell, but gradually, I learned to live w/o it, a lot of knitting though, & walking & of coz more family time, so I wouldn’t say it’s all bad. However, no matter what, I’ll always be a cyber chick, will try not to be so dependent on it as much as before but cyber space is my world, always was, always will be.

So… what have I been doing all this time while I was offline, not that you really care lol. 1st off, Aug 23rd was my mom’s birthday, gave her a call in the morning & wished her but since I’m not there to celebrate with her & she does read my blog…
妈咪! 祝你生日快乐! 身体健康! 长命百岁! 我们爱你!
(Mommy! Happy Birthday to you! Good Health! Longevity! We Love You!) – absolutely loves google translator lol.

We went to New York on the last weekend of Aug to watch a football game, well kid’s football, mainly there to show support for Jen’s cheerleading. Football ain’t my kinda thing so I got bored quickly but its kinda cute to see the small lil boys wearing all that ‘armor’ running around. Imagine this, from the bottom up, tiny short legs with bulging padding in front, then V-shape up from the waist & super huge shoulder pads & huge helmets! Lol. BTW Most of the pics are taken with my phone or Russ’s cam coz stupid me forgot to put the battery back into my camera after charging.

Poor girl, she wanna go down to the field so bad…

Still happy that she’s out of the house though hehe.

Can anyone else show more boredomness then this?! Actually, he was concentrating on the game LOL!

Jess was there too as she volunteered to coach another team of lil cheerers.

Jen’s team.

Jess’s team. Well was, will get more into that later.

I also noticed that even though we’re the visitors, it seems like all the crowds are from our side, the seats on our side are packed & the other team’s are, well barely there. The first 2 or 3 teams don’t even have cheerleaders.

The home crowd.

The weather was pretty nice til noon, after that the sun started to bake everything w/o shades.

Now every1’s a lobster, yes even me! All my life, I only turn black under the sun, never ever red, but not this time. All my years of hard work trying to stay as fair as I could, all down the drain! *sob sob*

Poor Arieanna got alil red too coz we grabbed the sun block alil too late.

About Jess, she was supposed to return to Florida for her grandma’s funeral, was supposed to be there for a week & be back for school. All week while she was gone, I was hoping that she’ll be back soon with Sarah so we can have more Uno nights, we have some crazy Uno nights I tell ya, we always go to bed with tummy aches & teary eyes coz we were laughing soooo hard. So when I saw Sarah I was like finally, they’re back, then Sarah dropped the bomb on me, Jess stayed in Florida. This is the 2nd time she did that to me, to us. Jess if you’re reading this, I’m very upset, so is Uncle Russ. We’re not angry with you, well… maybe alil but more sad then angry. I’m not trying to make you feel bad, just want you to know that that’s how much you mean to us, that we miss you very very much, we do understand the reasons why you decided to stay there but that doesn’t mean we can’t be upset about. I know I’m not in any position to say anything but you better come & visit us… OFTEN! Also, your loss, Arieanna’s here, not there, she just warmed up to you & then you’re gone. :P BTW I’m working on the design for your bikini, since I can’t lure you to come back & get your Sims coz you conveniently told Aunt Sarah that I can keep it *grrrr* so when I’m done with your kini, I’m not sending it to you, YOU COME GET IT! *wicked evil grin* lol I know, I'm a mean aunt. MISS YOU BABE!!!

Next, during the same week we also got the bad news that hubby’s dad passed away, the family decided to cremate him the next day, so no funeral but we had a get-together over the weekends and also sort out his dad’s stuffs. I never met him so I can’t say much about him but I’m glad we had the gathering coz I miss Ed, Sandy & Kurt, Ed’s my bil, Sandy’s his wife, so considered sil too? Idk but I really like her, & Kurt is their lil big rascal hehe.

Well I took this pic coz I think it’s sweet. They are Ed & Sandy. Look at them holding hands. After Arieanna’s born, the only thing me & hubby’s holding is her, diaper bag & stroller lol.

Wicked helmet! Well I’m not in the position to ask for it or I’ll give it to you dad! Hehe

The star of the group… when wasn’t she?

That’s a hybrid cloth diaper named g diaper, it’s a cloth diaper with flushable inserts, the inserts are biodegradable so its earth friendly. I got the starter kit & the week I was using it, Arieanna was downing water like we’re having a drought so she soaked through the diaper very quickly, now that she toned down on the liquid consumption, I already finished the inserts so idk if I wanna get more coz calculating the cost of a insert vs a disposable diaper, its more ex. The reason I got it is coz I wanna do my part on saving the environment but we just don’t have that kinda spare greens right now, I used the traditional Chinese origami cloth diaper but I'm really

really sick of hand washing the pooped ones so... maybe later.

Jess rubbed off on me & now I’m kinda liking orange, not on me of coz, the only color I can pull off is black lol. So Jess, this pic is for you *smiles*

I don’t have any better looking pic then this, tho I really doubt I can get better ones when she’s running around but I wanna post it coz its soooo cute! She’s wearing a white off-shoulder top with tiny blue flowers & overalls, can’t really see the off shoulder part due to the over shoulder tie strap but the ultimate cuteness was her running around in that outfit & holding the long cardboard roll like a samurai sword & beating every1 + everything with it, look at that fierce warrior face! lol.

I… don’t… know…. LOL

That huge bear was a xmas gift from Russ, one night she decided that she wanna walk around the house with it. Imagine her dragging that bear around the house by the extremities, with much effort I might add. Hilarious!

A night out. Look at that cute million dollar smile!

Her hair is long enuff to be pinned up so I made her 2 pair of barrettes, a pair off white, which she’s wearing one of them right now & a pair in red which you’ll see later.

Dance Dance Baby!

Muchies!

How adorable!

What a mess.

I L~O~V~E dressing her up! Well I only have like a yr or so b4 she has her own quirky sense of taste for fashion so I might as well seize the chance now lol. She’s my baby, dress up doll, model, running trainer, gadget tester, muse, nap buddy, provoker, singing & dancing partner & the list goes on & on... hummm… she’s the only person I know that has so many job descriptions, now if only she knows how to write her own resume, she’ll have it made lol!

CUTE!

Stretch it baby! Stretch!

Videos time.

This is as gd as it gets, I’ve already brighten it 5 times, anymore it’ll be too grainy to see, so hope its viewable. We were watching Shrek Trio & every time there’s music, she would shake her butt. What I don’t understand is both her parents have 2 left feet, where she learned to dance like that? Lol


She was actually taking the lemon every time I feed it to her til the cam came out & she decided she wanna be shy :S


Another lemon attempt lol.

I decided to let her go crazy on her dessert so I pulled her sleeves up & stack her up with paper napkins as makeshift bib, glad I did that & caught it on cam too. The reason y this vid is so shaky is coz the only thing available that’s the right height to place the cam is the napkin holder & every1 uses napkins, also the holder’s kinda curved at the side, so any movements around the table affects it but its still too cute of a vid not to share hehe. Look at the royal treatment she gets when she’s done, so many ppl cleaning her up. The waitresses at the restaurant absolutely loves her, they practically watched her grow but one of them are too friendly for me to be comfortable with tho *paranoid mom alert*. Apparently Russ doesn’t know the cam is on at the end so sorry about the trash lol.

That’s it for now, next post will be my FOs… I hope… lol.
