Hi, Daddy?

...are you coming home soon? yup! I'm liking mommy's Iphone a lot! can't wait to get my own! :)

Okay, so I'm so lame for not keeping up with my blog. Malia is now almost 16mos and the year is almost half year through, I just can't believe time flies!

Cousin Bree and her boyfriend, Eric came to visit during Mother's day weekend. It was nice to see them, my lovely cousin is so grown up now! ...boy, I remember when she was a toddler, time certainly just passes you by. We're hoping that we'll be in touch more often, she's got so much going for her and I'm crossing my fingers that she might want to check out the UH program here..it would be nice to have a family member around...gosh, I miss my family. :(

Summer break is almost here for Ali. She is growing taller and taller every day! School is great for her, she loves being with her friends, sometimes too much...her teacher is having a hard time controlling her sometimes. She will be going to a Summer program...I hope they can handle her :)

The Cat in the Hat Set

It's been awhile since my last post. Mom went back to California after spending over 5months with us looking after Malia. Malia started with her babysitter Nov. 1 and it was hard for me as I was with Ali to leave her :( But yay! mom is coming back to watch her the entire month of December, I am so excited and not worry sake about her constantly.

Ali is finished with her soccer season and looking forward to her swimming lessons. She did really good the few last games, dribble all the way from one end, okay maybe half way from the court to the goalie and she made a couple of goals! I'm so proud of her for having not played before and getting better each game...momma is proud :)

I made her Cat in the Hat set since I don't know how long it's been since I made her anything. She's into knit and leggings which are perfect for her active self. I've been hanging on to these Dr. Seuss fabric and when I found the knit to match, I knew exactly what I was going to make her! Voila! PS: she did soo good modeling for this set, it was quick and easy...sigh, wish it was like that all the time but hey, I'm not complaining.

Vancouver & Seattle trip

Okay, so it's almost a month ago since we came back from our trip. We went up to Vancouver for four days, we love it there, it's almost our yearly tradition (except we missed it last year, I was 7mos prego) then we headed up to Seattle for a wedding. Cousin Kevin & Jennifer's wedding, it was so nice to see most of the family there, the weather was beautiful and the wedding was a blast! It was the first time that most of the family have seen Malia and she was so overwhelmed ;) and Ali, the social butterfly picked up where she left off and danced the night away at the reception. Here are some pictures to share, of course, of Ali in Vancouver park and Malia turning 9 1/2 months!

Sugar3 Parade Launch

I was so excited when Sugar3 ladies invited us to do a Parade and we decided on Christmas Parade, perfect for the holidays!! The cute Merry Fairy created by our very own, Traci is the cutest little thing, isn't it? Here's Ali being such a trooper, it was her birthday that day and she had a little sniffle but she knows mommy needs some pictures and bless her little heart she posed for me :)

Grandma bakes her a cake for her 5th b-day and she helped too. She was so excited to blow the 5 candles, smiles ear to ear and daddy bought her a Wii player...I wonder if that's more for him or Ali...hmmm...

We're off next to a little nice vacation next week to Vancouver and Seattle for a wedding. I'll post some pictures later!

Awww....how cute is she??? Look at those chubby cheeks...and don't forget the puppy dog drool to just put it over the top. Okay, I thought I can let you guys forget how long it has been since my last post. I know, I know, I am so bad at keeping it up. With going back to my F/T job, there is just not enough time in a day to keep up with everything else.

Malia is almost 7 mos old, she is almost 16lbs and still growing. This little girl loves her bottle, her afternoon bath and her dog, Bali. She gets so excited and looking forward to each morning for her trip to the backyard to see him :) It's been humid here lately and this little girl can sweat!! I guess runs in the family, both girls and mommy get hot easily :)

As far as Ebay goes, watch out for the upcoming launch, I can't tell you right now but it's going to lots of cute Christmas theme and gift ideas and oh yeah, it's going to be HUGE!! If you see my post, mention "Malia" and you'll get 10% discount off your entire purchase during launch time. It's going to be excited, please come and check out my listings in the week of 8/18.

What's new...?

Gosh! Time flies and I hadn't the chance the update my blog..sorry :( Lots happened, Malia's baptism a couple of weeks ago, Ali's had her graduation last week, my folks came to visit about 3 weeks ago and mom is staying with us for a while (Thanks, mom!) and I'm going back to work tomorrow, I'm going to miss my baby...sniff, sniff.

On another note, I'm excited to tell you that I'm joining the super talented and great bunch of girls at Ivylane. I can't wait to get to know them better, I feel like I know a lot of them already, they make me feel so welcomed and just all around great gals. Woohoo!!

There she is....Malia Gray

Alright, so I'm the biggest procastinator. It only took me 4 mos. to get this blog started and I thought what better way to start by announcing our brand new ..well, not so brand new anymore ;) she'll be 4 mos. next week! Our second daughter, Malia Gray. She was born on New Year's Eve ,9lb (ouch!) and she's now over 14lbs! Thank goodness that she's sleeping through the night, Yay!!! Mommy gets to sleep a bit more, too :)

Alright, this blog is still a working progress so, bare with me and I will add more in the following week. Love to hear from you guys!
