December

so I feel pressure to update my blog since so many people are asking me about it. so here goes the pictures....

Kayce and her BFF Cami.

our garden is doing great

Ethan's 1st professional haircut. he did so good.

I am not sure who wanted to see Santa. I should have sit closer to Santa and ask for my wish instead.

we love to go feed the ducks. I spent $2 for 11 loaf of bread and still have 3 more to go.

our christmas dinner and departing was really hard.

November

November was really busy with a trip to Missouri.

Kayce didn't like the sun in her eyes so she covered herself up.

Ethan is trying to adjust to the face forward car seat and I think he found his sleeping spot

Ethan's 1st birthday...

okay I am lazy and don't want to rearrange the pictures so back to Missouri... butter on her nose

Ethan is trying the "Throw Roll"

It was really cold for us to be out but it was fun

Kayce never like these riding machine but she is coming around after this trip

swimming in November...

Our first try at carving pumpkin...

October

Here are some pictures from October

we went with some friends to Arboretum and the kids had a lot of fun.

Pumpkin.. Pumpkin and more pumpkin

This was the biggest pumpkin that I can find this year.. only half the size of last year..or may be Ethan is just BIG.

Moments at home...

this is what Kayce will look like when she is 80.

More Pictures...

Wet Kayce!!

Lunch with Daddy on a Sunday.

Ethan supervises his bath water every night. He rushes over to the tub as soon as he hears the water running. He will be a good manager some day.

We went to the zoo last week and finally found the Tiger. Erick.. he is really there!!

Huh!!

While I was taking pictures of the kids at the playground, this little boy keep cutting into my frame. He really wanted me to take a picture of him.. so I did. Could he be mine too?

Too many fingers for One piano

How many fingers does it takes to play a piano?

Kayce's first day at Mother's Day Out

Kayce started Mother's day out this week. she was so excited about going to school and carried her lunch bag around the house and told me "Bye, mommy" when Chris put her in the car. then we got to school and she was ready to go in the buidling, I thought it was going to be an easy drop off. then she saw Ms Leza and she just broke down. she cried for about an hour and I cried for 3 hours the whole time she was gone. the school called me a few times to give me updates and comfort me. isn't that nice.

Our Family Vacation to San Antonio

The month of August was so much fun and it went by really fast. So fast that this will be my only post for the month. I have a lot of pictures to share, after all this is my picture blog so here they are…. They are out of order a bit but you get the idea of how much fun we had. Kayce get to feed the Sea Lion and the Dolphins. Then we get to have dinner right next to the whales and Shamu was only 6 feet away from us. Kayce was so happy that when she fell asleep that night, she was dreaming about something and she said “mommy..shamu..” and ended with a big smile in her sleep. That is when parenting in the heat is so rewarding. Did I mention the weather? The heat was horrible, I don’t remember the last time I sweat so much. Chris and I are still recovering from the trip and our bodies are still sore.

this is how much stuff we pack for a 5 day trip..

Kayce saw the pool within minutes of us getting into the hotel... we couldn't tell her to wait any longer.

some daddy and Ethan time

Kayce gets to feed these hungry birds. they are the best birds for her cause they won't fly away as long as you have food in your hand. she had chased a lot of birds in her 2 year life and never got close to one.

Feeding the Sea Lion.

Ethan loves to ride with Mom on the scooter.

That arm pit smell so gooood.. *yuck*

Grandma and us.. Kayce doesn't like the wheelchair that Marie is in, her face expression is "Get me off this thing."

this was so cool get to be just 6 feet away from the whales. this was Dine with Shamu, the swim around us while we have dinner. have to say that it feels really weird to eat shrimp around whales.

Ethan loves the hotel room, new things to explore every minute. it takes more than 3 of us to keep an eye on this little guy.

Tour around the city of San Antonio.

Feeding the Dolphins was a very neat experience. it was worth the $10 of fishs that I had to get..

Here they go down the lazy river

Kayce and Chris went down the slide.. when she got out we asked her "do you want to go again.." "NO, NO, NO"

Ethan relaxing after a long day

I was busy packing when I found them playing by the window of the hotel... couldn't resist to take this as my last picture of the trip.. what a great vacation.
