Trick or Eat...Happy Halloween!

Wow! What a fun filled day. As last week we had picked out a pumpkin, we have been waiting all week to design it. Kylie and I started the day off deciding on the design of a clown face, given that Kylie would be dressed up as a clown for Halloween.

We next went to one of Kylie's classmates birthday party where we were able to enjoy the good sounds of Latin music, some great food and of course the celebration of another one-year old. Most people don't take pictures of food at a birthday party, but I could not resist after seeing all these Latin pastries! I am not sure about Kylie, but I was drooling.

We have started to realize that at birthday parties, besides the fun of other children playing together. Kylie loves bounce houses. I guess I am glad we actually own one and will probably put it up more often.

There was a face painter at the birthday party and with Kylie dressed up as a clown, we could not resist having her face painted to add to her Halloween outfit.


Finally Halloween! Even though this year Kylie could not walk house to house, we still wanted to make sure she was able to experience. We visited a couple of our friend's in the neighborhood, but better yet for Kylie, was when we let her eat her dinner outside and watch all the trick or treaters come.


We rarely have pictures with Kylie being upset, but I had to smirk at this one. I guess this is her angry clown face waiting to go trick or treating!


I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween! I can't wait to next year when Kylie can make her rounds!

Halloween Party and Parade

Today was Kylie's Halloween Party and Parade at Little Cruisers. We are so blessed that her Grandma made her this amazing costume. People are already asking to be on the Grandma's sewing list for next year. Kylie was pretty proud of her costume and showing it off to her friends.

They brought the kids trick or treating on the floors their parents worked on.. It was so cute, although Kylie wanted to stick her tongue out at everyone. I have to teach her better manners (or way to go Kylie!). They also had like a catwalk at Little Cruisers so each kid got to walk (or in Kylie's case hold mom's hands) and go down to show off their costume at school. Kylie was a super good girl and very happy and smiley with all her friends. It brought a lot of tears to my eyes but a very happy time!

JAM Packed FUN Weekend

This past work week was exhausting, Brian and I were sick all week fighting a cold. Getting home from work, getting Kylie fed and off to bed. I was asleep by 8pm most nights just trying to recover.

Well this weekend, we lived every moment to its fullest. By every moment I don't think we could possible jam more into our weekend. Thanks to Kylie waking up Saturday morning bright and early at 4am our Saturday was filled to the brim. We decided to save the planet and leave the car behind Saturday morning, so we went on a 4 and a half hour walk. We walked to Panera and had a breakfast, Target for a little shopping and the Coconut Creek Commons to see what the shops currently had plus lunch. (We would love to have had pictures from the entire adventure however our camera battery ran out at Target. So we can share our breakfast at Panera. We loved spending time together and getting some fresh air, exercise and at times a little rain shower.

Two Great Minds....

Kylie learned how to use a napkin (or ten)

Today we have been busy cooking you name it we made it.. Blueberry muffins for the week, baked apples, baked pears, homemade pizza (okay everything else was healthy). We did some yard work, laundry and best of all did some coloring with our chalk outside. Kylie prefers to eat the chalk but she did some coloring too.

What to draw next...

Just Being a Goofball...Passed out.. But held on to her bread

It has been a great fun family filled weekend and one we wouldn't trade for a million dollars. Lots of smiles and laughs. Kylie even tried some new food which of course she can't get enough of raviolis and meatballs. (I think she has some Italian in her???) Guess I will be making more and more! We hope your weekend was just as fun!

Here is a cute video of Kylie on Thursday night.

Our Little Pumpkin

Kylie is super excited for Halloween this year! Last year she wasn't too into the whole thing but this year she is set. She received a box on Friday with her new Halloween costume, hand-made from her Grandma. We tried it on and it fits perfect. We don't want to post her in it now.. You will have to wait for Halloween. We are so grateful that Grandma made her costume. My Mom made all my costumes for Halloween and we are happy she carried on the tradition!

We had a lovely weekend and here are some cute shots of Kylie checking out the pumpkin display at Whole Foods. She wanted to bring Charlie home with us but we figured he was a little too big!




Here is also a cute video of her walking (not by herself). Kylie walks as long as she is holding onto something. If it moves she pushes it around!

Kylie's Top Ten Things Learned Today

Kylie had to stay home from school cause she has a cold in her eye (NO not pink eye) and will be back at school tomorrow. So as any good parents does you have to work around your conference calls and everything to stay home with your beautiful child. Well Kylie created a top ten list of things she learned today...



10. Banging on the sliding glass door and saying DA DA DA DA does not make Daddy come home sooner.

9. Just because Mac (The dog) eats your food (when you drop it on the floor) doesn't make it right for you to try his food. Especially when Mommy is on a conference call.

8. Hosting a Virtual Trade Show can be fun but my little help isn't always welcomed. Typing assadddffff is not something that makes Mommy happy while she is trying to work and type about Oasis of the Seas.

7. Chugging the juice in your sippy cup sometimes helps if the day gets stressful. So does eating Goldfish (why do only some of them get to smile?). Later to be replaced by coffee or Starbucks or chocolate.

6. Answering e-mails while your eating your lunch sometimes can get messy for the keyboard. Or it can make you very sleepy.

5. When Mommy is on a call, don't try to rip the phone off her ear and then say HI to whomever is on the other line. I highly don't suggest pressing the number keys either.

4. The Tupperware cabinet is a playground all in itself. Putting bowls on top of your head and the dogs head makes Mommy laugh (although she didn't get a picture)

3. Playing Peek a Boo with Mommy while she is working makes her smile :)

2. The dinging noise coming from Mommy's computer is not music and not something to clap along to. This means more emails are coming in. Mommy's computer may look like my play computer but it doesn't sing nursery rhymes.

1. Being with my Mommy for a entire day is the best medicine.

Kylie's First Haircut

Kylie got her first haircut (gin toe fat in Chinese) on Saturday. Although, she didn't have too much hair to cut she needed a little trim around the edges. She was amazing and sat still in Daddy's lap while she got her haircut. Super cute and happy. She was watching another lady get highlights which we told her she was too young to get!

1 Year Checkup

Today has already been a fun filled day and it is only 10:30am. Kylie had her one year old checkup today, some bloodwork and 4 shots. She did amazing for the bloodwork and checkup but voiced her opinion on the time we had to sit and wait between each item.

The Doctor said she is doing excellent and she has laser like focus with her eyes. I guess this means a job as a SPY would be good?? She weighed in at 18lbs 8.5 ounces so no forward facing car seat for Kylie right now. She is currently 29 1/2 inches long. She got a A plus and we took her to a new breakfast spot which she was thrilled by the food and the service not to mention the outdoor eating.

This appointment is a nail bitter

I have had ENOUGH Waiting!!

The Belly Laugh

After a long day at work, this little laugh makes everything better..

All in a Wednesday

Just a day in school hanging out!! Thought you would enjoy seeing what Kylie does at school. She likes to sit on the little sofa.. Hang out with her friends.. Her friend Sophia tried to join her but ended up kicking Kylie out.



Also, here is the teachers using a weird contraption to try to encourage Kylie to walk. Four of her little friends (younger than her) are walking. She likes that they walk and then steals their toys as she is still closer to the ground. But, her school is trying to encourage her to walk. It looks like she is wearing a fish net shirt but actually her shirt got bunched up.
Yes the pictures were taking from my blackberry so not too clear!!

Happy 34th Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We hope your having a great day at work. Funny how last year, I couldn't hold my head up to create your birthday banner. Click HERE to see the post from last year. This year I got a little bit more creative with the birthday wishes. I got Mac involved. I tried to color his nose (he didn't like the blue on him), I tried to pour water over your poster but Mom reacted quickly. Then I found that playing Peek or Boo was the best entertainment!

Just colored the Dogs Nose and now more on the poster
