Science Field Trip

I was lucky enough to drive a load of kids for the second grade science field trip. They went to BYU's science center to look around and have a presentation in the planetarium. I had to laugh about the car ride. On the way there, all the kids told knock knock jokes that did not make sense at all. That was pretty funny, but to hear how the kids would laugh as if they actually did make sense was the BEST. On the way home, they told scary stories. Most of those didn't make sense either, but they all loved it.

The science center was pretty cool. Here is Maylin and the other 3 kids I had in my car. She is annoyed at me in these pictures because I took another girl's picture before hers. Oh! To be 7.



We learned a lot about the sun and the different planets. The kids loved the moving screen and the awesome stars.

Here we are down in the science center checking out all the cool displays.



Lunch break!



She loved all the hands on displays. My favorite comment from Maylin was when we were walking past the art museum on campus. There are many modern art sculptures in the lawn area. As we passed one, she said, "What is that?" I said, "It is a sculpture. It is art." She said to me, "That doesn't look like art! Are you kidding?" I thought it was so funny. True too. It didn't look like art to me either. The college student next to me just died laughing and said to me that he loves it when kids just tell it how it is!

Looks like a really fun field trip. Maylin looks cute in her glasses.

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...
