1 year ago Gotcha day!!

It seems so long ago but then it seems like yesterday! Waiting to hold my sweet pea for the first time.

She was so so tiny...

and so beautiful and happy

I was just beaming!! one happy Mommy I was blessed with another wonderful child.

Going to her orphanage looking in to the room where her little bed was empty so many emotions...

Ooo I love them!!

And now look at my beautiful little lady! 5 Years old and growing so fast!

This was the picture that i first saw when we were not looking, but I had to just ask about her... just get a little more info... hooked click on the pic below she has the same expression = )

Shamiao came to us 23lbs and 33in tall. She has grown to 28lbs and 37.5 in!!! That is 5 lbs and 4 inches in one year! 5 lbs on someone that tiny is allot!! Wow she was in 18month cloths and now her little legs are in 3T and 4T. Her little skinny body does not fit so good so we have to get the adjustable waist. She is growing so fast she gets bad pains in her legs. We are so so Blessed with our children. I know I say that allot but I just cant believe God picked me to be their mom. How could one mom get 3 wonderful beautiful funny bold kind silly fabulous kids??? Happy Gotcha Day to all our travel buddies!!!! We miss you all!

Shamiao is 5!!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet pea!!

I am so Blessed!

She is loosing all her baby... and turning into a little lady!

Jack got her 2 fish and she loves them!

We also did the Pinewood Derby. They worked hard on there cars. and did great!

Shamiao's is the yellow one.

Kai's is the red one.

They picked the shape they wanted and the color and stickers. I thought for sure we would have a very girly car but it was not girly at all.

This month our FCC group went to a kids cooking class and they made fortune cookies and dumplings. They had a great time and it was yummy!

Happy Gotcha Day Kai!

It was 5 years ago I saw this beautiful face...


4 years ago that I got to kiss this beautiful face..

and meet this happy joyful soul...

Chinese New Year!

Little Miss likes to live on the edge... the edge of everything!!! And the dresser edge got her! 3rd child not on the face no stiches. She is so much like Jack it is scary now they have matching scars!

And oooo the grin..

It was Chinese New Year and thankfully Kai got better just in time! Poor Kai was sick with the swine flu. it started with a fever of 105.8!!! He runs high fevers but that was a bit high for mom and we took a trip to the ER. He was feverish for 9 days = ( It did not go thet high again but who wants a fever that long. He is better and just in time for the FCC Chinese New Year event!

Doing the Lion Dance!! Fun!!

And getting the traditional red envalopes with money in them!

Feel bad about not blogging more we have lots going on around here! Hope to get back in to it!!

Growing up WAY TOOO fast!!!

Taller than me = (

When I look back at pics from Kindergarten it is hard to believe it is the 2 of them!!

As a freshman this was Jacks first formal event at school Winter Formal. WOW did they look all grown up!! They had a nice dinner and non partner dance (line dance, electric slide, ect) Then back to our house for an after party. It ended up to be a nice night. No more grapes at freshmen events! Lesson learned!!! Sad a little to see my oldest growing up so much.
