Sugar & Spice

This weekend we threw a baby shower for my sister and her soon-to-be baby girl.  I was so excited to plan this shower.  My sister is a rock star.  She is the most selfless person on earth and planning this shower meant a lot to me.  She (and Ninong) do so much for us.  Because most of my days are spent being distracted by a little Bug, I knew that I had to start planning early and get this done a little at a time.  So, months ahead of time, I did my research so that when we got to my parents' house the day of, all I had to do was stick some stuff up with tape.  Turns out, we did a bit more than that the day of, but it all worked out.

 Even Miss Bug had her hand in the event planning.  She is, after all, THE BOSS.
 Counting the mats and making sure we've got 'em all.
 This is as much love as we could get out of Da-Da and daddy-to-be.
 Vanilla chai and chocolate cupcakes made by Tita Precy!
 THE LONGEST sign EV-ER.
Of course we put Bug's old clothes to good use!
 Oreo truffles made by your's truly!
 Part of THE CREW.  (Yeah, we made the pregnant girl work at her own shower.)
Bug and Tita Precy.  She was probably eating her shoe.  It happens.
 I used to babysit this senior in college.  I feel old.
 I'm not sure what that look on my face is, but that is my second helping of awesome Mexican food.
 Da-Da is competing to play a game versus a soon-to-be-dad and an "experienced" dad.
 Not going well.
 Just a naked "baby".
 Da-Da lost and he does this every morning with Bug.  So sad.
 The hubs takes such awesome pics. :)
 Oh yeah...we had a kid...who was passed around from person to person.  Even without being passed around, this look on her face would have been inevitable.
Parents-to-be looking so well-rested.  Live it up now, kids.  (That will soon change.)
 Taking guesses at how big my sister's belly is.  Outcome:  not big AT ALL.
 My sister and her friends from USC undergrad.
 
That is Tracy.  She is due a few weeks before my sister.  What a trooper for coming out at the end of her pregnancy!  Thank you!
 Bridesmaids!  Our job is never done.  :P  Thank you, ladies for helping out!
 Ummm...obviously Bug does not want to make anymore friends.
 ...but she'll take another photo.  (Yeah, her belly's pretty big.  Bug, not my sister.)
 She is going to make one awesome Mama.
 Bug Love.
 Sometimes you need to poke her.  It's too tempting.
 
Being forced to socialize- the consequence for being cute.
 And there's the man I married!
My cousins. <3  So pretty.
 Mmmm....
 Bella sang in front of everyone so she needed to be tipped.  I told her to get $5 from Uncle Wyatt.
 She was SOOO excited she was squealing.
 Late night for this pregnant lady.
What a great day!  I can't wait for my baby niece to get here.  It should be fun watching Bug and her cousin grow up 11 months apart.  (Sorry in advance, kid.  Bug might boss you around.)

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
