MIA

I know it's been several weeks since I posted a new blog but I've been so busy with work and the kids. So much has happened as well but of course I can't blog about everything...it's confidential. JK...But Connor, my son has his birthday on July 11th so threw him a pool party when he got back from MN and of course, he was shy at first but then had a blast. His favorite part was opening the presents. Of course, his older brother loved it just as much because he knows that it's partial his too. :)

Connor...can't wait to open his presents


Christien and Connor w/presents (The WII fit is really for me) lol...
I also went to a party that my cousin's threw for their parents. They are somewhat related but anyhow, it was a party up in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Good food....but the best part was meeting my long lost friend, Susana. (picture below) Her and I go way back. She was actually a neighbor and can't believe how good she looks. I seriously need to lose weight...weight does alot to a person as well as hair. Did I mentioned I saw some guys I used to know and yes, They are bald and omg...looks totally different. Praying that my boys will have hair because being bald does run in my mom's family as well as my dad's but worst for my mom's. My 24 yr old nephew was bald already at age 21...cute but no hair... :( His dad has more hair than him...hehehe....

Susana and me
Two weeks ago, I took my oldest son, Christien to karate and when I got back, I found my little princess bald....apparently, the hubby shaved her hair and now she's bald. I swear it's a myth...but the hubby said he shaved her hair so that her hair can grow thicker. WTH!!! I was so upset because it was getting longer and I so wanted to put her hair in pig tails but oh well...gotta wait 'til she's one now. :( Oh well...but I know it's not going to get any thicker. It's totally an Asian Myth.

MN International Tournament 2009

Sorry folks for not updating. I know I’ve been slacking but I really have been super busy w/vacations and then with work. We just got one of our old clients back and swamp with work. That right there is taking so long. But with the way economy is, you never know when you are the one to be let go so for now, I’m just grateful that I have my job. Anyways, I promise that I would upload my pictures from Minnesota. I had a great time but too bad it was too short. I would definitely have to spend a week up there next time vs 4 days. My kids enjoyed their trip there. Of course, my brother spoiled them since he has no kids yet. The reason why I visited them during July 4th because every year up in MN, the Hmongs get together and celebrate one of the most well known International Sports Tournament . They also get a chance to catch up with family members, old friends as well as meeting new ones. You get to compete with some of the toughest Hmongs or Asians out there. Even other races are competing with the Hmongs or against them. When I was younger, I love competing in women’s volleyball; although, I never won. L However, I love the competition. The best women’s volleyball team currently is Impact. They are good. They won 3 years in a row. Of course, the number one player on that team is number 12. She can do it all. Check out http://www.hmongfestivals.com/ for more details of this event. Also, Mozemoua did a great job of blogging about this event. I would add more to it but I really don’t have the time at this moment.

Sister w/my mom...forgot to mention that I would have taken more but my sister stole my camera while I was on vacation claiming that it took better pictures than her camera so she had possession of my camera for most of my vacation. She's such a camera whore!
One of the vendors and I have tons of other pictures but will just post a few for now.

At the Ly Reunion...my sister from Clovis, CA, me, and my sister in law who just moved to MN.

Busy

I'm back in town; however, I have been so busy with work and at home. Niece is at home watching my baby Caitaleena since my mother is out of town with my boys and hogging the home pc so I haven't had a chance to make a post. I had a great trip; although, it was too short. I did miss the hubby but it was great to just get away and hang out with the family and friends. I will post with pictures of MN next week. Have a great Friday! and weekend. :)
