Fun Times with Grandma

Kylie has had a blast the past couple of days with Grandma.

Here she is making special cupcakes.

Here she is in the SPLASH ZONE.

Hawaii Anyone??

All Smiles

As I am off traveling for work, I was delighted to get this happy picture of Kylie in my inbox. Looks like she is enjoying her time with Grandma and Dad. This picture makes me believe that Kylie is starting to have some of my characteristics and not just Brian... Anyone else see it?

Washing the Cars

Ever since I was little, my Dad has instilled his belief in me of always washing your cars each week. While his family always comes first, clean cars are a very close second. He even washed cars when we lived in Chicago when it was COLD COLD, one time locking me inside the car as the door froze! (Yes that should explain how crazy he is!) Needless to say, I always take care of my car.

This time I thought I would teach Kylie the importance of washing your car and she would make her Grandpa proud. She was very detailed oriented with the washing, even taking time to hand wash the car with "bubbles".

Here I am washing the car when I was little

Busy Busy Girl

This past weekend was a pretty busy weekend. We went to Brianne's 1st Birthday /Elmo Pool Party (no Elmo was not in the Pool), Dinner at our friends and another Pool Party on Sunday. Kylie loves loves the pool and has absolutely no fear. She basically walks (not jumps) right into the pool. Good thing her swimming lessons are teaching her how to grab the wall and kick to safety.

Although we are unsure of what this weekend holds with Tropical Bonnie on our doorstep we know we will have fun. Just maybe not outdoors!

Here is Kylie trying out the Big Pool and
then deciding the little pool was more relaxing


As Kylie is a only child she has never taken a bath with someone before, she was so happy to take a bath with Isabella! Lots of splashing!

Kylie loved the Piano. Please please don't tell my Dad or I have a feeling one will be delivered to our house tomorrow.

The Day is So Bright...

Happy Friday! Some days when you know it is going to be an amazingly bright day it is best to start your breakfast wearing your watermelon sunglasses. Hope your day is just as bright.

A day home with daddy...

Tricia was up in Boston for work today, so it was just Kylie and I. We did get to go to the pool this morning and now Kylie likes running and diving in compared to the 4th of July where she simply wanted to sit on the edge then hop in. Kinda funny as it looks like a person taking steps and then falling off a ledge. (Yes, I am still being very careful holding her) Well, I did get a chance to take this one picture. Now when Kylie needs to go to the bathroom she tries to find her privacy. Today, she wanted to close the door to the bathroom and get her privacy. Low and behold when I went to check in on her this is what I saw....

As I usually get upset on wasting things, this gave me a laugh!!!

4th of July Disney Style

What is wrong with the Lum Family are they crazy? 4th of July, Disney, heat and those lines.. WHAT? No it wasn't anywhere what you would have thought the weather was pleasant, the lines weren't crazy and Kylie really enjoyed her first trip to Disney, surely not her last! It really is a magical place! We enjoyed the trip with Brian's cousins from California as well as my parents drove from Atlanta. While we didn't go to the park on the 4th we did enjoy Magic Kingdom and a day relaxing by our hotel pool. Who could have asked for more..

The first day we went to Downtown Disney

The first night Kylie didn't make it through dinner.
