Photo Essay

We went out for the bikes ride. We rode our bikes to Three Point Avenue street to church from our house and we just ride our bike around the church. We had fun time together. We rode bike to church from house because the kids' car seats are in blue car, I knew that the bikes won't fit in the trunk of blue car. Our van is expired license. 

Emma was crying because she wanted to go home when we were at church parking lot. She was really tired.  So we rode bikes back to home. She was crying all the way from church. Wyatt loved to bike. When we arrived home, we sat down. Emma sat with me on my pink recliner, BAM, she fell asleep. I can see her scar on her chin. 

Wyatt was pretending to be a dog. He likes to be naked except underwear good thing about it. He doesn't tired. He was keeping play around. Wyatt wants to go and ride the bike again to church. One thing about him that I was upsetting- he doesn't stop at the end of sidewalk to watch out for the cars then cross the street. I had to yelled at him to stop! He doesn't understand about it yet. That's annoying me. I have been teaching him many times about to watch out for the cars. 

I was sweating and it was good. I need it. 

That's our story for our bike rides.

Random Thursday

 Ta-da! I made homemade and handmade braided bread with caramel oinion, spice clove, dried thryme, and olive oil. It's so good and sweet. Derek loved it too. I am going to make it again in some time. Yum.

I stole this idea from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. She always make bread. I am still her fan. She is knitter. I am copycat her.

 I love this! I want to frame this post and hang up beside my guinea pig. So cute. Like a "Beware dog!" The kids love Reeses and Furball. I did introduce them. Furball was so curious about her. Reeses was so afraid of him. So Reeses ran around in the cage and Furball chase her. Furball stole her food. Ha ha. Good memory for us. We are enjoying watch them together. I am so happy to adpoted her. Derek starts to love her now. He wasn't used to it. It's was his first pet guinea pig. He was used to the dogs and cats. Not small pets. We play with her every single day. I am thankful for Heavenly Father to create a guinea pig.

I finished them last night. I enjoyed it. It was quickly than knitting. Now I am experinced with them both crochet and knitting. It's basic socks recipe from Interweave Crochet magazine. I like the colors. They are mine. Mine. Yep. It's easy as a pie for me to crochet these because I already know how to make them like as a knitting.

Off we go for the bike ride.

Reeses As A Candy

Yep! Guinea Pig. We bought her yesterday. It was  GREAT deal for us. We paid for her for $30.00. A lady sold Reeses to us from Farr West that she couldn't take care of her anymore because she is moving. Reeses is a girl, and 7 months old. Of course, we still have furball the hamster. I couldn't have a dog and/or a cat. They are depressing me. I couldn't handle them. So Guinea pig and hamster are good for me. Derek was nervous to pet Reeses. Good thing that I already know how to take care of her. I had one before when I was in junior high school. She is easily care.

Reeses is good name for her because of her color skin. I learned one thing from Derek that he refuses to have a pet bird. I surprised agreed. I had one bird before. Oh my, forget about it. I don't want to talk about my birds. 

The kids love reeses. She is little bit shy at the first. She will overcome and loves us.

My Late Weekend

My mom bought me the spin proof color eggs last year. So we tried it out with my parents on Easter's Day. It NOT works. It's spilling anyway. Good thing that we dyed the eggs outside on the deck table. Not good idea for inside house. I don't like mess.

They are so pretty spring colors eggs. So I wanted to try and dye again at my home but I used food color to dye the eggs. That's all I have the colors: red, yellow, and green. But at least we did by ourselves. The kids love the red ones.

 Yesterday our dinner was Hawaii Macaroni Salad. I decided to dye the pasta into green. Tan is bored color. I wanted something different and excited dinner. My husband was like what expression on his face. I love to see his face. I could dye the pasta into red and blue for July. Red and green for Christmas. It's fun.

I finished crochet sock (one sock, I am working on another one today). I wanted to have an experience to crochet a pair of the socks. So far, it's fun. Its very quickly crochet sock than knitting sock. It took me 2 days crochet a sock. Knitting- 1 week to finish a sock. I have a loom sock that I want to try it out in someday.

It's basic sock pattern from Interweave Crochet magazine.

PS. today is snow day. My house is cold! It's April, it's fool month. April, you got us.

My Cute Furball

And that is all she wrote.

I love him to death. He is so soft fur! I pet and play with him every single day.

Derek and I agree that we will buy a female cat when furball is gone. Then we will have a dog(I want a Yorkie, shih tzu, or long hair Chihuahua.) after a cat. I just can't have a big jump step to have a dog right now. I need to be in small step for a little bit. Or it will be depression for me. So hamster is good starter for us right now. One animal a time. I don't want to have two or three pets. Too crazy and stress. 

I had cats when I was toddler age. I loved my cats. So I want to have a cat because after the cats, I grew up with all of the dogs. I barely remember when I have the cats when I was two to six years old.

I want to be able to have a pet in my little family. I want them to be part of our family life. There is no home without a pet. 

Random Tuesday

 I have been crocheting... It's linked jacket by Robyn Chachula.

I took a good picture of Skeeter(yorkie). He sat with me on a couch for a while during nighttime. I love it. Every time when we visit to my parents', I always go and grab him to be hold him. You can see white on his chin. It's making me sad that I don't want him to be aging. 10 years is short life for dogs. 10 years isn't that long time. I feel like it's 5 years.

Today, I cleaned my kitchen room like as a Monk's way of his clean freak. I dusted, wash the walls, and you name it that I haven't clean for a while. I love Monk!

Doggies

I love to play with my parents' dogs.

 Pug and yorkie.

Black lab puppy.

Sorry that the photos are bad. My phone won't let me to have flash light. I am little sad for black lab puppy named Dex has to go. My parents couldn't handle 4 dogs. Black lab named Gunner is my youngest brother's dog. Dex was my younger brother's dog. I LOVE to play with Gunner. I told Jake that I will steal him. He laughed and said no. Yorkie is my number ONE! My dad said that Skeeter is married to Lucky(pug) so they couldn't be apart.

I was little sad when I put Dottie(yorkie) away a few weeks ago. I am still emotionally about her. Oh well. I am thinking about to adopt a cat after my fur ball(hamster) die. I am used to furball's litter so it will be easy for me to clean up after cat's litter.

Happy Easter's Day. Think about our Savior.

Hi....

I haven't been written my blog lately...

1. Monk

      I have been watching Monk shows on my Netflix. I love Monk. It's so funny show. I love how he acts. One thing I wish I have something from him is: OCD cleaning a house and spotless around the house. Every time he sees thing that are uneven, he immediately fixes. He even put the socks in the Ziploc bags. He vacuumed his ceiling. He has multi humidifiers in his house when he was sick with colds flu. He brushed his teeth for 12 times a day. He is VERY cleanest guy. I wish I could do that to myself for my house's sake.

I am on season five of Monk.

2. Project

     I haven't been crocheting lately due to Monk. I am blaming at Monk. I am still crocheting my jacket that not yet finishing. I am still reading my fan knitters' blogs. I have been studying for crochet socks. I have been knitting socks. I want to try out for crochet socks.

Spring season is here=too busy for clean up the house and front/back yards. So I don't have a chance to crochet for little bit. I would never quit or stop crochet/knitting. I just have a lot on my plate right now.

3. Stress

      Lately, I have been stress about our budget. Emma's hospital bills show up that I have to pay them for drop by drop. I just wish that my house is pay off so I can afford it. We just cut off our T-Mobile cell phones. We think that we waste our money for that silly phones. So we decided we will have AT&T iPhone for one. We don't need two phones. Derek is working night time. I sleep during the night time. So he is using the phone for night time. I am up during the day and Derek is sleeping during the day so I am using the phone for day time. That works out for us. We couldn't afford for phones that over $100 monthly. So one phone for about $50 is good enough for us.

I highly HATE the bills! Money is always always draining. We are trying to have a wise budget for now. So right now we don't have TV, and phones. We just have the basic bills plus hospital bills.


P.S. We are at our parents' house in Bountiful for the Easter weekend. It's should be fun weekend. Psst, I was keeping play the dogs. I love them so much. I missed my dog Dottie that I took her away. What an idiot I am! I still have a little hard time with that dog be away. But too late for now because she is with her new family member now. Oh well. I am HOPING that fourth is charm!

PSS. I am glad that we are here in Bountiful because Derek's family are not going to have an Easter party. So my parents decided to have an Easter party. I was relieved. We also will have Jake (my youngest brother) birthday dinner.

Have a HAPPIEST Easter weekend. Be safe.

Bad Beginning of 2013

2. There are TONS of hospital bills to pay. I am still exhausting since January.

3. The kids also make me out of control.

4. Derek is working at low volume order= low paycheck to home.

5. I was thinking about to sell our house but I dropped out so I knew that my van will be soon pay off then everything will be ok.

10. The dogs for the pet are not ideal for us right now.

11. I still love my furball the hamster.

12. We went to the Disney on the Ice in SLC. It was awesome time that we needed to be. I am glad that we went and stayed at my parents last weekend, it helps with my stress thingys.

14. I am HOPING for this summer to be good season for 2013.
