Easter&Julian Spring Break

Easter hunt is always fun for little kids. Julian loves it every year!

bigger kids had spring dance at school, no partner as usual, they went with friends group.

Julian had spring break while brother and sister have school. this is too bad; they have different spring break time! I was planning to apply Schengen visa to Europe, so I too Didi with me to visit SF. It would be better to go with a friend, with another visa purpose, we went by ourselves. we did the planetarium by the port, and visited the city, ate the most authentic Italian pizza! Julian got scared by a homeless man walking on the street.  last thing, I attended Carson's UVU graduation.

Memories back to March

Think of the things happened in March, it was spring break for older kids. I went a week college tour with Jet. we went to Indiana, Virginia, New York. I was afraid to go alone in united states, after that, I felt I can travel anywhere in this country now. Jet's fun senior year, senior lunch almost every month. BTW, I finally convinced Jet to curl his long hair, he hated me that day right before he goes to dance, but eventually his hair looked great!

While me and Jet travelling, Tess was helping little brother got ready for school and homework, and piano practice. she is like a little MAMA! I felt bad for her spend the first week of spring break at home, but she said she enjoyed a lot, she got to watch her animation episodes! 

We celebrated dad's birthday, Kids designed the cake.

Tess started to learn to drive, Julian started his Karate class with Soren!

 

New Year-New adventure (China Trip included)

 I got to go back to China for a business trip! that was exciting! I put all my energy and efficiency to plan the trip, and arrange kids schedule, meal plan for kids...etc. we visited Nantong, stayed two nights with my parents. First day I spend time with Bua&Yeye, Lili&Dandan, my youngest aunt, had dinner with my cousin Cailiang. we visited vendors in Dongtai, Anhui Wuhu, Jiangxi Shangrao, stopped in Nanjing had dinner with my best high school friend Fanlei, then we kept going to Shandong zibo, Sichuan chengdu, taicang, the last stop is in Shanghai, we stayed with my middle school best friend Nicol&Luis. I did all those in 10 days!

I indulge the food I missed so much, I got my hair cut and styled, I did the foot message, I did正骨和艾灸，I did my facial, I went shopping with my cousins! I did everything I wanted to do in this limited 10 days! most of all, we got bumped into the First Class on the way fly back! what a wonderful trip I had. we never did honeymoon, it felt like half of the honeymoon! Best of all, on the flight back, we got upgrade to First-Class! first time in my life, what a good start of the year, I wish my luck continues!

We made back, missed my kids so much, I never left them alone so long! I am proud of my Jet boy, as the oldest, took care of sister and brother, proud of Tess, helped Jet take care of Julian, feed him and took him to ski...after we got home, we realized that Jet turns 18, become an adult in 4 days! we can only celebrate this weekend! so, I had an easiest birthday celebration for Jet because the same day morning I had meeting with Chinese moms to discuss Senior lunch that I am in charge of, We took Jet and his friend to All-star Bowling, I only made him cupcake and Sunday Korean BBQ with grandparents!

Before the China trip, we went to Las Vegas, Sphere, to watch" wizard of oz", Julian really enjoyed, we do too even though I think its over-priced, as long as family together, we were happy! we enjoyed the most authentic Japanese restaurant there too!

This is such an unusual year, Utah barely got any snow this year! Julian is licking the precious snow in the air!

Julian was in skii school this year
