China Party #2

We were so lucky to have some of the families that were sick for the bloggy bash on Saturday, to be well enough to come to another smaller get-together last night. In attendance, Lisa and Maise and Tiff, Eliza and Sol! Lisa really wanted to see the Brown's so they came back for more PARTY! We did hot dogs, hamburgers,salad, corn on the cob and melon. Oh yes, don't forget the ice cream cones!!!! The kids had so much fun playing that no one wanted to go home. Even when the tired crying started, the kids still wanted a little more time. There was A LOT of time watering my plants, playing in the waterfall (of course), sand box and swings. I love how the girls would wash their sandy bodies and clothes off by sitting in the stream!

The older girls spent time playing games and taking funny pictures of each other hiding in bushes, jumping off rocks, killing bugs etc. They were so funny. The Brown girls call them "Stalker" photos.

You know that I predict our girls won't marry Chinese...but that's a pretty cute shot of Maylin and my handsome Kai. He's at least not crying ;)

And for the record...I was holding Kai's ice cream as well as my generously portioned one.

Thanks again for another great party. It sounds like more fun on Monday night {I was only joking at first when I told Jay I'd be back soon}.

Love
Kim
PS- I have noticed you tactic of putting the pics in collages--it's harder to steal that way ;) but also harder for the world to see my big hips so I thank you for that!!

Thank you for hosting a second China Party so that Maisie and I could see you and the Brown Family. We had so much fun and it was wonderful to be with all of you. Your yard and garden were just beautiful...as always! Can't wait to see all of you again and by the way, I loved the fresh eggs, they were delish!

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
