One Amazing August Weekend

This weekend my Mom and Dad came down to visit Kylie. Now if you aren't aware of the $9 fare club from Spirit Airlines you should be. You wait for these great deals and you get the airfare for $9 dollars each way. Now the taxes are more expensive then the airfare but to fly round trip for two people under $150 total well that is GOOD!

My parents are super excited about this great find and now will be coming down more often to spend time with Kylie. She couldn't be happier! We did the pool several times, the park, went out to eat, shopping you name it. Kylie loves to be with her Grandpa and Grandma and quite honestly doesn't recognize if Brian and I aren't there. (Maybe next time we should go out!) A fun time was had by all. I swear my Mom was here too but for some reason she wasn't in the pictures.

Just Shy Of a Year Old

Last year at this time, Tricia and I were running around and finishing the last minute preparations for our baby girl to be born. Do we have enough diapers? Is the bed set up right? What other classes do we need to take at the hospital?

In exactly a month from today, Kylie will be a year old. She currently weighs in at 18lbs 8 ozs. She is so observant of everything thing going on that she doesn't want to miss a thing. She has definitely picked up the crawling and is almost at that stage of walking on her own. I am still working on her vertical jumping skills as well!

Tonight, we tried to take the next step of eating out of a bowl. Po Po and Gung Gung got her these suction cup bowls that we put her peaches and cheerios in...



But as you can see below strength and determination took over and she decided that instead of eating the food one by one, she was just going to try and pour everything in her mouth.

I can't wait to the day she eats a hamburger! The super buffet will be waiting!!!

No Monday Blues

You can't have the Monday Blues when you can spend the day with all of your friends! Believe it or not Kylie was a little cold today so they put on a hooded sweatshirt for her. Yes,it does get cold here just not outside!

Entertainment by Gung Gung

We had a great day today with Kylie. Brian had volleyball tryouts so he was gone all day. Kylie spent the day with me, Gung Gung and Po Po. We did our usual trip to Target and even went to the Chinese market. We got a lot of Brian and my favorite goodies.

The highlight of the day was when Gung Gung was playing his harmonica for Kylie and then gave her her own harmonica to use. She used it but unfortunately didn't understand your not supposed to eat it!

Glass Half Full

Kylie is really the happiest baby I have ever met, although I might be a little biased. She along with almost her entire class came down with the Croup Cough. To her it was nothing and it really is nothing, except you sound like a seal or dog. I might have gotten a little worked up when we couldn't get her temperature down from 103. No matter what she kept smiling (a true Lum for sure!) She is feeling 90% better now and gladly returning back to school tomorrow. She learned an important lesson, when your not feeling well as long as your comfortable it doesn't matter what you wear! (Thanks Zoe she still loves your old Halloween shirt)

The UPS Man Strikes Again

When we got home from work on Tuesday, we were welcomed by a huge box by our front door addressed to Kylie. She was very excited to see what was in it. However, the packing paper and the box were much more exciting to her then the toy. She loves her new walker / rider thanks Grandpa and Grandma. (Please note she had just gotten home from school and seemed to have more food on her mixed matched outfit then usual - We do put her in clean clothes!)

Fun Filled Weekend

Do you remember the weekends where you used to sit on the couch, in your pjs with the remote in your hands and take out boxes all around you? Yeah, those kind of weekends are GONE but have been replaced by so many fun things I wonder why we were so lazy before. Okay well I could go for ones of those relaxing weekends but this weekend was a fun filled weekend.

We attended Kylie's first 1st Birthday party, Zoe's was her first birthday party but Jack and Ella's 1st Birthday party was her first. They had it at a place called A Latte Fun. Pretty neat place and Kylie was thrilled. (Yes for those of you at Zoe's bday party she wore the same outfit to Jack and Ellas's party - A 3/6 month outfit!)

We ran errands, shopped, did Kylie's Target Wish Lists, Dentist appointments, ate out a few times, went to the pool, got eaten by bird sized mosquitos (see Kylie's face in the pictures), watched TV and just enjoyed being a family.


Enjoy some pictures from our weekend. Including the Blooper Reel below :)

Blooper Reel - For all of you that know me (Tricia) well know that I can't take pictures at all. This weekend we found that it seemed like someone in every picture was closed eyes or crazy grinned. Here are some of our favorites that make us laugh

Kylie likes to give kisses

I am laughing so hard I am not going to open my eyes!
Great Picture of Kylie what the heck was I doing?Drum Roll Please ..... Can you say Chinese?? Like Father Like Daugther

Kylie the Artist

When I went down to have my parent teacher conference today, this is what I found Kylie and her teacher doing. Making a masterpiece for Daddy! Please note the half ripped off page, Kylie didn't like the artwork on the one side so she ripped it off. After my meeting with the head teacher I came back to find Kylie eating the crayon. (Guess that will be in the next parent teacher conference subject)

Circus Day at Little Cruisers

Yesterday was Circus Day at Little Cruisers and everyone had a blast! I do have to mention that it was hotter then hot outside and I don't recommend wearing blue jeans in a bounce house as it feels like a sauna.

There were pony rides, bounce houses, face painting (for the older kids), snow cones and a broken train (the little engine that couldn't - so no rides).

Kylie just having fun after eating her snow cone!
