We Love Tulips

We already had three sunny days. Utah's spring time is very pleasant indeed! (all photos taken this morning)


When I was washing dishes this morning, I noticed this frame of view from the window above our kitchen sink. Our peach trees and cheery tree are blooming.

Wild Deers' Invasion

My wife took this picture on April 22nd 2009 about 7:44Am from our house. They are in our neighbor Rick and Nancy's backyard.

Wild deers had eaten 11 tulips on this Tuesday (04/21/2009) and I had to spray the "Deer-off" again.

Clara's Birthday

We celebrate Clara's birthday with giving her a big surprise gift this year!


Margaret prepared the birthday cake for Clara. We also had home made "Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili" 酸菜鱼.


We sung the birthday song to Clara.


Clara is happy to do this...


We enjoy...


Big surprise! We gave her a Wii! (Scott gave her a Wii Monkey game.)


Even Noah enjoy to play...
