So Happy... So Much Fun!

 Tori drew this picture of her American house while in the car... She wanted me to take a picture of it.... Of course I would. How adorable. She tells me everyday she loves everything in America. Her house, her family, her pets.

 Tori has caught the baby doll craze and is loving playing with the babies and strollers... Tessa loves that she will play with her. Tessa is crazy about her baby dolls....

 Tori made this out of Lego's

How fun is this??? All the kids love this water slide... But we had to throw it out. The seams are not holding the air. So we joined our neighborhood pool and we swim almost everyday....

 What a Bean Bag Crew... Few moments of quiet....Ahhhhhh.

Tatumn loves to dress the girls up in play clothes.

 

Trey made me this out of Playdo. The one on the left is dumplings he said. They are his most favorite. But he only loves Ms. Missy's the most he says..... Missy is their Tae Kwon Do instructor and she is from Taiwan. I too love hers the best.......... 

Our Homemade Waterslide!

Tori was a little bit shy about her belly showing  a little when I first put Tatumns old swimming suit on her. But that lasted about 5 seconds....

I love this video.....

How much fun are they having????

Our beautiful Tessa is growing up... Hard to believe she has been in our lives almost 4 yrs and still never a dull moment... We would not change her spunky, whitty, bossy , loving personality for anything...

After a hard day at home and Tae Kwon Do this is where I caught them before bed... Snuggled together watching Tori play her Cooking game on her DS.... Love it!!!

How can someone so stinkin cute be so sweet too!!!!

Tori's smile says it all.... Loving life in North Carolina.

Life is good..........

Tori, Trey and Tessa have enjoyed the homemade waterslide with the sprinkler. They get whipping down the slide when it is wet... Tori loves playing with the little ones and is so good with them.... Tessa is doing great with her when she corrects her... We knew she would. Tori fit right in as the big Jie Jie(sister).

The Aquarium

Video of of the kids favorite part of the aquarium the stingray pond I call it. Where the kids can reach in and touch them....

After waiting for Tori to get up around 10 am. Man she is the most awesome sleeper ever... We headed to the aquarium by the beach. We decided to take Tessa to her babysitters so we could have more time standing and enjoying the tanks and such without running through with Tessa. If you could have seen Tori's eyes when we got further in the building where we started to see all the fish, it was priceless.

We knew from Tori's paperwork she loves ocean life, and she sure does. We were able to get a back door look this trip. Jetia, a friend of my friend works there and took us behind the scene to see all the fish life in the back rooms in tanks... it was so awesome to see baby seahorses, a sea turtle with a curved up shell and so much more.We will head back several times this summer. I know Tori will love that.
