Finally almost February

Mia before preschool: every time Rick

picks Mia up from school and asks her how her day was, she says,

GRRREAT!. So cute. Whatever they are learning about, she gets really into it,

right now it's planets and she already has them memorized and figured out. Too funny!

She is still very obsessed with cars, in fact Saturday morning, all she wanted Rick to do was

show her the engines of our Honda, Ford, and Rick's Chevy work car. soooo funny!

Grandpa B's bday party: Yes we are lucky we live where the grandparents

do on both sides actually. It's something we never take for granted and we love

having them here! We went to Outback for dinner and came home and did presents and cake.

Wow look at all those candles! Aunt Brooke sent this funny card of a really old lady

in a swimsuit and Mia just couldn't get over it. She just kept staring at it and finally said,

"Now that is scary!" It was hilarious! We were just glad she didn't think it looked like any of us.

haha!

Scott, Hailey, and Ari sent a video singing Happy Birthday and Mia

was so touched by it. She told my dad that we should've had it playing while the rest

of us were singing. She had to listen to it 3 or 4 times and kept kissing on my dad.

Such a love bug!

I have to warn you about the next picture. Mia has been pulling

this popeye strange pirate face when she's mad and it's downright

ugly. Haha. The other day at dance, I guess Rick poked his head in to tell

her to behave and she came right up to the glass and gave her stink face in front

of all the moms. Rick said it was embarassing.

This isn't even how bad it gets. Notice the one eye is smaller

Still not as bad, my dad wanted to participate

This is pretty much it. We don't even know how she closes

only one eye, it's just so strange!

We went to BJs for lunch on Saturday and I took some pics

One minute nice

Here's popeye again!!

back to nice

Then she got ahold of my camera and took these

this is funny- see all those alcohol bottles in the background?

Well every time Mia comes to BJs, she thinks they are shampoo

bottles and that they are beautiful. It is so funny. Aww to be

innocent!

We got home and she wanted to learn how to fold socks

my little organizer

my cousin Nate visited from Tiawan and brought

his adorable girlfriend-it was so great to see him.

We've always been very close.

This was her first time in the US and Mia thought she looked like the

character on a chinese cartoon she loves, so she kept asking her how to

say things in Chinese and then Mia would tell her words like Ye Ye (grandpa)

in Chinese, it was cute. She was impressed that we had a chinese cartoon.
