Roycesmom

we got a 2001 LX470 for our growing family.
thank god we got a great deal on it,
cause the seller need to move out of states asap.
from now on, i have to cook at home for at least 6 months straight...
what a big trade-off~

white garden is my dream, but so far my husband, mom, mom in-law, sister in-law...
told me it's not good to have only 1 color in the garden, especially white.
so i didn't take care of my garden for a long time, i didn't even go there once after having sprinklers.
and the truth is i am not interested in garden at all, gardening is pain in the ass for me.

the good news was i found cheap roses($8.99/ per bare root) at costco last week. me and rod bought bunch of them home.
rod gave them for me as our anniversary gifts. everything was romantic till we stepped into my backyard.
it became a weed garden again, and dead leaves everywhere.
so i cleaned my backyard this weekend, and rod plant some of the roses.
it was so tiring, but two people working together made me feel better.
i think we need to put more effort to our back yard.
hope we can enjoy it this summer.
 
disneyland rose x 8


fragrant wave rose x 4


sun flare rose x 4


plants update:
1 asian pear tree($8.99) looks dead or it's winter now
1 black cherry tree($8.99) ok
1 japonica pieris($16.99) so far so good
2 white african lily($15.99 x 2) so far so good
2 japanese boxwood($4.47 x 2)  not green anymore
2 white big leaf hydrangeas($4.97 x 2) almost dead
*thank god those dead plants still in warranty from lowes

time flies, we've been married for 3 years already!!
rod bought me 8 roses plents," disneyland " and "fragrant wave".
we are going to plant them in our back yard.
love is just that simple.

it was a great christmas!
i got my cuisnart cookware, the most important one.
royce got so many toys from everybody.
rodney got a bunch of cloths as usual,
i gave him a pair of shoes, he's my kenny doll now.
he's favorite gift is a PS3 game "bladestorm".

this unofficially car show is hold in one of santana row's parking lot every sunday morning.
this was the 1st time we went there, it was cold and we were late.
we saw bunch of boxer, maserati, some old 911, and few lotus elise.
oh, and a ferrari F430 spider sport version with wrong color.
one of the black elise is modified very well, black and gold tone.
too bad i had no chance to take a picture of it.
and the S65 AMG is rare too, the engine is crazy.
but the picture i took was too dark, so i didn't put it in the album.
the best car there was the yellow lamborghiini murcielago.
it's our friend's car, and he want to drive his T-Rex there, so we drove his lambo.
it certainly is a fancy car, get all the attention on the street.
T-Rex is made from canada, hand made also. this brand is only few years new.
there are too many rich people in silicon valley, that all i can say.
you can see all the lateset car around here.

should me and royce go with rod?
rodney is going to tahoe this weekend.

we usually rent the snowboard and everything, BUT,
he bought all the gears he needs just few days ago.
there is no super good deals right now.
the sales man in the store told me
the best time for buying snowboard is summer, over 50%off.

all his friends really like snowboarding.
i love it too, but i can't do it right now.
i really want to bring royce to tahoe,
but Kirk Wood doesn't have the 2 years old program.
so far only Heavenly has it.

babysit and play with royce in the snow;
evil said: make you realy tired and boring like a dumass.
angel said: enjoy being a mom in royce's important first 5 years.

royce falls in love with youtube.
he loves thomas train, after renting all the dvd in the store,
we found youtube is a good place see thomas and his friends.
we saw a lot of crazy fan made their own stories by using their train sets.
some people have 5 layers rails, or the whole train set is the size of a room.
royce was so excited seeing them.
and we taught him how to use mouse to click any videos he want to see.
now he can sit in front of the computer for hours.
and i can do my own things at the same time.
youtube, thanks a lot!!

i got this pan at ross for $15.
very nice pan, 18/10 stainless.
heat up in very short time and evenly.
i don't think i need the griddler anymore.

christmas is coming, i try to buy gifts for everybody in the family. thank god all the females in the family have a gift list. picking gifts for people is a really really hard job, it can give me a huge headache. but i don't know what to get for all the males in the family. and my father in-law & brother in-law are 2 birthday boys on christmas eve. that's the hardest part. this is whati want for christmas. Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 7-Piece Cookware Set

i like shopping at target a lot.
especially, when they have 75-90% off.
i bought 2 big vine pumpkins with light bulbs.($20,$3 each) and a pretty orange berry wreath($20,$5) for next halloween.
too bad i couldn't find any cool costume for royce.
oh, and a spider candy bag($3,$0.30).

hope i can get some crazy deal for next christmas too.
