Autumn fun

Summer is over. It started to rain and we need to pull out all the winter clothes and make sure the heater at home is working.

Luckily there were still some nice weekends. 

Salmon days festival last weekend. Ellie rode on a pony for the first time! And we did some other fun things like the train ride and bouncy house.

This week we went to pumpkin patch. Got a few pumpkins of different sizes for our Halloween art projects.  

We also got to go to the Seahawks game. The stadium was so loud I had keep the ear plugs in Ellie's ears the whole time. But we had fun and Seahawks won too.

This is the tie dye bandana Jen helped us to make at her party.  She loves being a pirate!! 

Every Tuesday it's daddy's game night. Also me and Ellie's sushi and michael's night! Trying out a Halloween hat here.

First gardening experience

This summer our friend Ian and Jen gave us several plants (tomatoes, cilantro, pepper and thyme). Some of them grew bigger and some of them died or got eaten. When my parents came my dad made a gardening box and moved the plants in the box and bigger pots.

Dad also built a temporary deck and put the plants there. I moved them to the sunnier area but deers came and ate some of it😔.

Ellie helped watering the plant. We both had a lot of fun taking care of the plant! No fruit yet.. Hopefully we will get something before it gets cold.

This is the cactus rian and I brought back  4 years ago from HK 長洲. It was the size of a penny when we brought it back.  It is amazing to see it stays alive in the gloomy Seattle weather. (Very long and skinny due to the lack of sun).

Maui adventure

I

We are on a vacation in Maui. This is the 3rd time to Hawaii since Ellie was born. I love Hawaii, it's warm and sunny weather and beautiful beaches. 

This time around we are here with 公公grandpa, 婆婆grandma, auntie eve, uncle Wallace, iris and Tristan. We got 2 vacation rental in the same complex with ocean view. 

The trip has been quite relaxing so far. We all got some sunburn but enjoying the family time. Especially Ellie, she has been following iris everywhere.

Ellie was scared of the ocean so we built a little baby pool for her. She had fun splashing water.

It was Tristan's birthday. He got a birthday present that can connect to vegetables and play piano. Pretty funny!

Another family picture by the beach sunset time. The beach gets really windy every afternoon.

Got to spend sometime with grandma. Grandma gave her candy and she loves it. And she learned to say 婆婆俾。

3 years old!

Time flies! Our baby is now a big 3 year old! She always said she is a big girl and she wants to be big like mommy and daddy so she can do dishes, laundry, cook on stove and drive!!! Well let's see if she will actually do that when she gets big enough to do all this!

We are going to Maui this weekend with my mom and dad and my sister's family. So excited! Can't wait!
