One year of Lo.

Last weekend we celebrated all things Lo Bear with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed first birthday party!  I don't know if you know this, but all the kids in my family are beautiful.  They also have spitfire personalities, which makes taking pictures all the more fun!  We love you, Lo.  Thank you for making this last year all the more brighter.  :)

Cousins watching each other.  Is anyone else excited?  Not that I'm a negligent parent or anything, but haven't we all been waiting for this moment forever?  Older cousins taking care of the younger ones.  I refuse to procreate otherwise.  Hahaha.

Then the cousin/babysitter fell asleep before the baby.  Not a good sign.  We're still working on how babysitting goes.




An overly excited birthday girl?

There's something about the first grandchild.

My kid would purposely look at my camera like this.


The people who spoil the grandchildren. :)  I can't wait to be a grandparent.  Ha.


The cake is not good.  At all.  :P

This moment is almost two years in the making.  Uncle Kyle may never get this again.

Same for Uncle Jarpy.  Soak it in, you two.

Like I said...the cake was no good. :)

Party planner, graphic designer, photographer extraordinaire!

Cute, right?

The cuteness never ends!

Swing pusher, Kim. :)









When you're cool you stand on rocks and look out into the distance.



Because she is the most athletic. :)

Never have I seen such a wonderful moment.  I think Bug may have given Daddy the impression that she is athletic in some way.  :)

"Running for bubbles."

Curls and tattoos.


Gah!  She is so cute! Now this girl is athletic.  When she's up and running (without falling), she's going to give Bug a run for her money!

Who is this cute kid that I am not related to!??!  Gorgeous, right?  Tyler- heart breaker in the making


The difference between 2 and 5 years old.


Always following her Ate Bug.  <3 br="">

Story telling time.  Bug reciting the entire Three Little Pigs story to the entire party.

Cleanup the next day...

Why wouldn't you love being trapped in a bucket with bubbles blowing in your face?



Too tired to open gifts the next day.

What a wonderful blessing to be able to be Lo's aunt, but also her Godmother.  I feel so lucky to have so many Godchildren and I really do love them all like my own.  So...does that get me out of having more children?  I do have 5 Godchildren.  That's a lot!  :P

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...
