More From Texas

 Some more photos from Texas. Better late than never..... :)

 Enjoying Birthday Celebration #2 with Family and chinese cake!

 Payton and Parker just love hanging out with Ben and Daniel

 Fun cousin time.

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

 We have had a wonderful couple of weeks! I decided to help Payton practice his reading by writing clues to finding his Easter present. He LOVED the clues. In fact, he wrote some for me to find as well! and at bedtime, asked me to write him 6 more clues tomorrow to find... :)

 I just thought this picture is hilarious...He only cried while the photo was being taken.

 A little better...

 Parker is happiest when he is allowed to wonder around. This is at our Village Egg Hunt (waiting for Payton while he hunted for eggs)

 Building a bird feeder with Daddy!

 Parker ate the entire time they were building...The little guy can really put down alot of food....

 My parents came to visit over spring break! :)

 So, of course we had to visit the Jelly Belly Factory...Payton LOVES this place and is always asking to go...

 Parker slept through the entire tram tour (thanks for holding him Gong Gong!)

 This was taken a few weeks ago when we had a weird heat wave. Can't believe parker is old enough to have ice pops with the "older" kids...

 Mom's group easter egg hunt!

 Not sure why payton is making this face, but this is the clearest photo i could get of them cruising in the jeep...

Ice Skating

Payton has been begging to go ice skating. So, during spring break, I signed him up for a lesson. There were lots of falls, but he seemed to get the hang of it by the end! I think part of the fun was being in a beginner class with all his friends. After the lesson, he immediately asked when he could go again!

So Behind

I'm really behind on updating pictures!

Payton practicing his last preschool Christmas program.

 my latest hobby: sugar cookies with royal icing!

 Annual christmas tradition, decorating a gingerbread house

 Payton's favorite houston hibachi place!

 Payton learning to play Uno over Christmas...and now...3 months later, still playing Uno almost daily and loving it.

 Sharing food, so sweet

During our trip to Texas over Christmas, we celebrated Parker's 1 year birthday (again) with all of our family. He got to wear his traditional korean outfit.

Fun November visit and Christmas?!

 My parents came down for a few days to visit recently and we had such a good time! (parker loves to stand in the carts at whatever store we go to)

I haven't been that great at posting regularly on the blog lately, so I thought I'd at least post some pictures of what we've been up to lately!
