Happy 4th Of July

Happy 4th of July blogger family! Hope you all enjoy a weekend filled with bbqs, fireworks and LOVE!

Easter 2014

Happy Easter Everyone! We had to cancel all of our Easter plans since I'm on very strict bedrest. My brother and SIL was nice enough to take Landon Easter egg hunting!

They took him to a place where they had over 50,000 eggs! It was so cute watching him collect eggs! 

On Easter morning, we let him come down stairs and open his basket from the Easter bunny! 

His basket was filled with "easy junk". Just simple things that he could play with and toss. His big ticket item was a Mr. Potato head. His favorite was a slinky.

After his nap.. My brother and sister came over to gift him some baskets! We also gifted my niece a basket for her 1st Easter. 

My sister gave Landon the cutest dinosaur basket. 

It goes great with his current dinosaur obsession. 

We got pictures of the kids together. Seeing Landon next to Mia, he looked sooo big and grown up! He's so sweet with her too! 

And a photo of Landon with my husband the day before Easter... My 2 handsome guys! 

And last but not least.. A family selfie! 

I hope you all had a lovely Easter! What did your family do with all the candy and sweets? I'm about to get gestational diabetes! 

Oh before I forget, my Easter chalkboard!

Happy St. Patty's a Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful St. Patty's Day weekend! We didn't do much... Just hung out. 

We've worked on some fun projects in honor of St. Patty's day.

Enjoyed the beach since we had 83• weather! 

Toddler Activities: St. Pattys Day Art.

Since our Valentines Day cards were such a hit, we decided to create St Pattys Day cards! 

What you need:

Card Stock & Envelopes

Glue 

foam Stickers 

Poms

Crayons

He looks forward to stickers... He says "stuck" while he tries to get it off his fingers. 

We had to purchase specialty crayons because when I'm not looking, he will bite into his crayons. It drives me nuts!! 

This is the 1st time I introduced glue. It takes a lot if patience to indrouce glue... And this is the perfect place to do it. 

And tahDah!! The finish product! In the end, we added some wasi tape. It's pretty cute! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone had a beautiful valentines day!!! We had an amazing day! 

My husband gifted Landon a cute Lego barn book and we can build Lego animals!  He sat and played with it for about 30 minutes while we got ready. 

He gifted me a beautiful orchid plant (I love orchids! Ours bloom every year.) Girl Scout cookies and a stunning David Yurman pearl and diamond ring! 

Pearl is Landon's birth stone! 

My valentine chalkboard design! 

Landon got to open a card from my Inlaws and was so happy to see a monkey! Lol

We did a bunch of paintings this week since he loves sitting at his table to draw and paint! 

The best valentine? My brother had a baby today! An adorable little girl! She was born 2/14/14 @ 14:02 

She's just scrumptious! I can't believe my sil had such an easy birth! She only pushed for about an hour and 20 minutes!! I'm so jealous!! 

We ended up ordering take out sushi and watched Tv at home. Such an exciting day! 

Xoxo

Happy Lunar New Years!!

I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful year of blogging! Thank you for reading and I really hope that you all enjoy my posts. 

I wanted to wish everyone the happiest new year! May this year be filled with love, happiness, and wealth! 

Landon meets Santa...

This pouty face was not expected.. We've been talking about Santa for weeks... He waves hi, every time we visit the mall.. He says "HoHoHo"... But it was no dice! He was not happy!! 

I still loved the photo lol! 

Here he is waiting.. 

Here he was.. Standing in line...

Waterworks..

Incase you forgot.. Here he was last year... So dapper. Lol

Christmas Pajama Link-Up Party!

I'm so excited to post about our holiday jammies! I bought these at baby gap in june for $2.99. They're the only pair of footed zip up jammies he owns but they're adorable!

We got this fleece blanket at old navy. Its very warm and he loves snuggling up while we read books!

We also decked out his room in santa bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. He will use it every year for the next few years! SOOOoOoOoOo cute!

It was also the first time we introduced a pillow and he loves it! He now likes us to tuck him in and say, "good night buddy!"

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2013

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I do apologize for such a late post!!

We had thanksgiving this year at my aunts house. She lives about 2 miles away from me!! Are you looking at this assortment?? From left to right: 1 baked turkey, 1 ham (my contribution), 1 surprisingly delicious fried turkey, then corn bread, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese, followed by our usual Vietnamese food buffet. 

Lunner (lunch/dinner) was delicious! 

Here is my ham!!! I didn't realize how easy it was to make ham!! Go to honey baked ham, stand in line for an hour, then to cook, heat for 45 minutes @ 350•. Perfection! 

The perfectly baked turkey! All the decor came from my aunts yard lol.

The set up.. Believe it not.. The table setting was all plastic! Reusable too. 

So cute right?

Afterwards, we dropped my husband off at home to watch the Steeler game, Landon stayed with my parents and my sister ran off to successfully shop at toys r us & old navy. 

I'm so thankful this year for my family, especially my mom who has completed chemo and is starting to recover. Life is much sweeter with her around and we thank god, tho he continues to challenged her, he guides her through and she seems stronger than ever. 

I'm thankful for my husband, who works so hard for our little family, who supports us and I'm thankful that he is so hands on with our son. 

I'm thankful for my siblings, especially my sister who has really been an intricate part of my life since Landon was born. She is full of love and we've completely bonded. She has been my Go To person and when I need a break, she comes running, swoops Landon up for a couple of hours. She also already loves this second baby so much! I will never have to invite her over, she will just call and ask to see my son and I never say no. How could I? 

And I'm thankful for my extended family and friends. 

Xo!

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Halloween!
