Halloween Pics

I thought it would be fun to take pics of the kids in their costumes...I love Halloween. I think we should just dress up at least once a month.

Lyla's Hanbok

So I am preparing for Lyla's first birthday even though its not for a few months. It's a really big deal in korean culture and my culture, the culture of event planning. I just really like planning parties. So we are doing a vintage theme and I just keep coming across websites with the cutest ideas.


Lyla's hanbok I ordered from Korea! It said it can take up to 28 days...hopefully it comes sooner.

This is my dream cake...it is so beautiful.

Isn't this party amazing...I wish this is what I could make Lyla's look like. I seriously think these people spent more money on their daughters first birthday then I did on my wedding reception...eek!



I love this banner made of old vintage hankies.

I think I should just quit school and plan parties. That would be the best job, always making people have a good time. Sigh...I think my current job (being a mom)has been the exact opposite lately, screaming kids alllllll the time does not = a good time!

Grandma left us today to go back home to Utah. She came and visited for a few weeks for Gigi's 80th birthday. It's always hard to see her go, it makes me think back to when we decided to move to Arizona and leave our house and family. It actually was a pretty easy decision then but I am sure if I had a redo we would not have packed up and left. I wish I were in the crisp fall weather and the colorful mountains with changing leaves. Halloween always meant haunted houses and spooky corn mazes. I guess I haven't looked much but I don't think they do a whole lot of those here. Also, no crisp air, 90+ degrees, I guess the weather didn't get the memo....we're over it!!!! On with life again and 6 AM wakeup calls from cache, it was kinda nice when he went to grandma's room instead of ours!


Such a sweet face. I love that she is so mobile and just wants to get going. I swear her legs never stop kicking.

We bought this for Halloween, however, mr. cache (gigi always calls him this) never takes it off. I think its payback for never allowing him to have a "superhero" costume until now. He wasn't even allowed PJ's (I was so afraid he would scream and cry and I would have to take him in public with them on, so I just avoided that problem). I am getting better...one step at a time.

Lyla loves her walker. She can keep up with everyone and isn't stuck on the dirty ground. It makes me laugh because she reminds me of the toy on toy story that only has a head and a walker for a body.
