Katie with Curly Hair

Have you ever wondered what Katie would look like with curly hair? Well you can stop wondering. Here she is with her pretty curls. Katie was such a cooperative little girl while Auntie Tracey curled her hair. She even asked for more when she was done.

Katie's 2nd Birthday: Part 2

Katie is getting ready for her birthday party.


Picture perfect.


A quick family photo before the guests arrive.


Auntie Loan and Uncle Tom gave me a cool sketch pad.


David's aunt gave me a Hello Kitty toy cell phone.


David's mom gave me another phone.


A yummy fruit cake.

Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Katie is two years old today! She started off the day at the playground.




She had lots of good food to celebrate her special day. Here she is peeping out from behind a tower of onion rings.


BBQ chicken pizza.


Four mini burgers and fries.


And Katie's favorite dish, garlic noodles with shitake mushrooms.


The birthday girl with a mouth full of noodles.


After dinner, we took her on the carousel.




And to finish the birthday celebrations a homemade pumpkin cake. Yummy!!

New Hairstyles

Katie's hair is getting longer and longer. I can now do more things with it. If only her bangs would grow faster.

Just Another Ultrasound...

Here is an ultrasound of the new baby. If you ask me, the baby looks mighty big already!

Can you tell what you are looking at?


Well if you haven't figured it out, maybe this video will help you out.


It's a boy!!!! Needless to say David is absolutely ecstatic over the news. The day he found out he couldn't stop grinning.

More Tangerines Please

Katie loves fruit. All of them. I have yet to find a fruit she doesn't like. Here she is all excited for home grown tangerines. They're so small they are the perfect size for her.


Mommy, can I eat them yet?


Thinking hard about which one to eat next.


Almost all gone...


One in her mouth and already getting ready to eat the last one.

Almost There...

Katie starts off sleeping in the twin bed next to our bed and sometime during the night she usually comes onto our bed. Normally this occurs when we have also gone to sleep, but on this night we came upstairs after watching television to find her halfway onto our bed. I guess she didn't quite make it all the way.

Auntie Tracey's First Duck's Game

David scored some free Duck's tickets again from work. This was auntie Tracey's first time to a hockey game and she actually seemed to really enjoy it. She said she would go to another game in the future.

The highlight of the game for Katie was this flying Serta balloon. She was very sad when it disappeared.

Final Score: Ducks 4, Predators 0

Happy Halloween 10-31-09

To kick off Halloween we took Katie to South Coast Plaza for some fun and games. She was afraid of the carousel at first, but then she got the hang of it.

Here she is all cute in her costume. Can you guess what she is?

This was the first house that she trick or treated at.

This house in our community always goes all out for Halloween. And every year he has a new set up!

This is another house we found in our community that had a pirates theme.

They even had their entire front entrance built into the shape of a pirates ship!
