thanksgiving in texas

i got to spend thanksgiving in corpus christi, texas, with my grandma and grandpa. we did all kinds of fun stuff and the weather was really nice...except on saturday night when we had 45+ mph winds! while we were there, we went to the beach, watched the big boats, did some fishing, and ate really yummy korean food made by grandma.

happy mommy's day!

this is a special mommy's day wish for all the fabulous mommies in my life - my own, lula, my grandmas and greats, and even the mommies of all my friends! i hope each of you enjoyed your wonderful days and felt special and blessed to be the mommy of so many great kiddos (even if they are all grown up!). i love you all.

and here is a special quote mommy asked me to share with you. it really touched her heart and hopes it touches yours, too.

“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~Elizabeth Stone

happy birthday grandma!

i'm wearing a shirt that is sure to make my grandma proud on her birthday. happy birthday grandma, i love you and can't wait to see you in a few months.

early christmas for me

thank you grandpa and grandma for my exersaucer. i'm having lots of fun playing with the different shapes and hearing the funny sounds.

um daddy, is the part on the floor important?

i already hate goodbyes

it seems like i always have fun with family visits, but they always have to leave. this morning i was rudely awakened by mommy only to have to say goodbye to grandpa and grandma may. i had lots of fun while they were here and enjoyed all the extra cuddle time...especially with grandma. we did lots of things like go shopping at the mall, bbq with friends and watching football. here are a few highlights from their visit. bye grandpa and grandma, i miss you already and can't wait for the next time i see you.

grandpa and grandma comes to town

last night, my grandpa and grandma came into town from texas to see me for the first time. they were so excited since i'm their very first grandchild. in fact, they were were so anxious to see me that they drove 15 hours straight to get here. they got here so late that i was already asleep but mommy and daddy at least let them see me sleeping. boy were they excited when mommy brought me to them the next morning. they even brought me a new toy to play with. we are going to do lots of fun things while they are here over labor day weekend so i can't wait to tell everyone about it.
