A Hopping Good Easter!

What a fun filled Easter Weekend was had at the Lum Household. My parents came down from Atlanta and we maximized every minute in everyday to have as much fun as possible. You will see from the below that we did it all.

On Good Friday, our friends Aric and Michi were being induced to have their baby girl Tatum, therefore we had Aiden hang out with us for the day. Aiden is one of Kylie's good friends so we went over to the park and met up with more friends. This park is not like any other park I have been to. A free park with a water section! How much fun!

Here is Aiden and Kylie running through one of the water features.

Water Weekend

Yesterday as you saw from the post was a beach day. Today Kylie and I went to Soccer practice, did some yard work and after nap headed out to the pool.

As you can see from these pictures Kylie is very comfortable in the water and loves her blue tube. She kicks her feet and swims all around the pool Towards the end of our pool time we got a little bit comfortable jumping to Mommy and swimming back to the wall without the tube. A start!

Beach or Bust!!

Today Kylie and I embarked on an adventure to Deerfield Beach, a 15 minute drive. We kept our supplies light as we knew Mommy would have to carry everything. We were lucky when we got to the beach that we got a spot right in front. With those of you not familiar it is one step and you are on the sand. I taught Kylie to feed the meter with quarters and off we went. It was the best morning ever! Kylie loved the water and road the waves in her monkey tube. She kept telling the waves to STAY and then when they approached her she jumped. She came out of the water all shriveled up and happy girl. She played in the sand for a bit but found the water to be more amazing. We stayed for about three hours with good intentions that by the time we got home she would be wiped out. Good strategy if it would have worked. Just one tired Mommy and one Happy Girl. I don't think I have ever seen her so happy! We even got to see our neighbors chilling at the beach as well!

I think she was shocked about the every 20
mins of suntan lotion, shades, hats etc. I took care of her!

Waves Waves Mama!

Kylie with the water sprayer fan.

She didn't offer to keep me cool :(

Time for the water! Watch out Waves Here She Comes

Here is a shot of Kylie helping me make French Toast.

I just love her hair can be pulled back into a ponytail now.
We can be twins!

My crazy Husband and Daughter

My family, minus the one who is awful at pictures (me). Two goofballs that always bring a smile to my face!

Saturday is Fun Day

Saturday is one of the best days of the week. We all get to rest, play and spend time together. Kylie woke up at 6am this morning and asked for donuts. Now I don't feed her donuts all the time but this was a special Saturday. She insisted we get dressed at the same time, we did our hair together and we were out the door by 8am in search of some donuts. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts for Munchkins and then drove to Starbucks for a latte for Mommy!



When we got home, Kylie decided to help me with the yard work and assisted me in cutting, edging and trimming the front yard. Her contribution was running through the sprinkler, which she carefully marked with cones. She also sat in her beach chair and took notes while she watched me sweating! If only I could teach her to make lemonade and bring it out to me that would be great.

The Sprinkler Video!

All the fun this morning she is wiped out and taking a good nap. Next up picking up Grandma from the airport! It will really be a girls night tonight! We miss you Daddy/Brian!

Girls Night!

I picked up Kylie extra early tonight and told her we were going to have a Girls Night. I was super excited and all she told me was Juice Please. When we got home we decided again it was a girls night.. Dinner and a movie.



If you have been reading along, you will know what movie she picked. All I have to say is not again! We took out the blender and made some frosty beverages (non-alcoholic of course!) and enjoyed for the trillionth time Toy Story.



Anytime I can spend time cuddling with my two year old is well worth it, even if the movie is the same! Today Kylie is 2 1/2 OH MY!
