Getty Center Museum

It was a beautiful, clear day at the Getty minus the extreme cold wind.

The rose garden wasn't in bloom.


We got a clear view of the city though.

Merry Christmas

I think Auntie Loan was more excited opening Katie's gift than she was.

All Katie wants to do is play with her new toys, but Daddy wants to get a picture with her.

Katie scored big this Christmas.

Birthday Celebration Part 3

Yay! Another birthday party for me. Let the celebrations continue.

And another cupcake! Wow!

While we were singing happy birthday to Katie it looked like she was going to cry the entire time, but at the end she finally gets happy and starts to clap.

Birthday Celebration Part 2 (aka Aquarium of the Pacific)

Katie loved looking at all the fishes and people.




We were very surprised to see the man feed the sting ray a head of lettuce throughout the demonstration.






Just turned 1 and already trying to steal mommy's wallet. Bad Katie!

Happy 1st Birthday!!

I am 1 years old today! And for my special day mommy and daddy got me my very own cupcake. Hehe. I can't take my eyes off it. Can I eat it yet?


A new toy just for me.


I'm still a little too short for it.


I don't usually like dolls but Piglet is starting to grow on me.

Play Date

JP came over for a play date at our house.


They were so cute playing together.


Here they are pushing Katie's walker.


At the end, JP gave Katie a hug good bye...


even if the hug was given unwillingly as noticed by his facial expression.

We're Walking!!!!

Katie gets very excited when we are holding the camera. She always wants to be on the viewing side. We finally managed to get a decent video of her walking. She always has to walk with her hands in the air. We think it's because when she was learning to walk we would hold her hands up and now she thinks that's how you walk.

Happy Birthday Grandma

Happy Thanksgiving

Here are my sisters slaving over the stove preparing Thanksgiving dinner.


We had a 19 lb turkey this year. Hmm......Katie is bigger than the turkey.


Some pictures of the sides.


More side dishes.


Dana is all sad that she doesn't get any of the good food.


Well if there was any doubt before this picture proves Katie is David's daughter. They have the same facial expressions!


Katie all satisfied with her meal.


Katie loves uncle Andy. All he has to do is look at her and she gets all excited and happy.


Her first step.....


Don't look at me. I'm secretly texting my boyfriend....


What a cute profile from behind.
