Halloween and Julian turns 7 !

Jet wearing his favorite senior sweater! As a senior he could paint his own parking spot! of course, it's yellow!

October is usually my favorite season, but not this year for me. Mason was home for one week to celebrate didi's birthday and Halloween with us. We had Laowang and Yixi came to visited with us when Yixi was doing fencing competition in SLC. Tess finished her volleyball season, she did very well, I heard a lot of compliments about her skill. Senior Lunch in October, Jet did Denver robotics competition, 

This year Julian insisted to celebrate his birthday in our house again, I will convince him outside of the house next year! I rented an obstacle course, it was super fun, but it was super windy that day, I was afraid this giant house would be blown away...

 

School starts

When School starts, my busy routine back to track. Volunteer the first Senior Lunch, Julian Started his chess online lesson and he was proud of himself for the metals and trophies that he got. Celebrated our anniversary, celebrated the moon festival without Mason home, I felt lonely for the first time. Celebrated Marilyn's birthday. Kids homecoming dance. Did one hike to the Bell canyon with Tingting. Jet got invited to perform in a neighborhood concert invited by Brenda. This was his first real performance as a pianist.

 

2025 summer August

I just realized I haven't updated my blog for a while.  Since my precious pictures that I saved in a hard drive and damaged and I lost Jet's childhood pictures forever. I should keep this blog going and leave a good memory for us. 

Of course, a lot of things happened before the school starts. hot air ballon festival, Jet was doing SYC service for this festival. Julian soccer season started, A family hike to suspension bridge, Tess 2 weeks volleyball training, Julian continuously learning piano, it is not as exciting as it started. Big kids beginning to dislike I took their first day school pictures. Julian still has his perfect, no cavity teeth! Jet and Mason did a super challenge, they got up at 4 and hiked the lone peak trail until it's raining and chilly. on labor day we invited Wenqian's family to the cabin. that was pretty fun!
