OUR FAMILY: Happy First Birthday

Happy First Birthday

Happy first birthday Lyla! I had so much fun planning her party. Lyla wore her hanbok (korean dress) and we made a doljabi board which is where 4 items were set out and Lyla chooses one item which predicts her path in life. The pig represents wealth, the pencil represents education, thread represents long life, and a microphone representing an entertainer. Lyla chose the thread and I guess will be living a long life, I was kind of hoping for wealth but whatever. Lots of cake and lots of goodies.

It is crazy how fast time flies by and how big my baby girl is getting. Life gets so busy I feel like I don't realize how quickly my kids are changing. It's kind of fun having Lyla's birthday on the first day of the year, I get to make new resolutions of what I can do better as a mother. Really, I can think of something I could do better just about everyday. I am looking forward to new beginnings and for my kids to continue growing. The interesting things they do and say everyday keep me entertained.

Happy Birthday and Happy New year!

Whatcha doin?

3/17/11 Lyla's words: Baby, Bah Bah, Momma, Dadda, Meme (not sure how to spell it, its korean), uh oh, Thank You (this is more of a noise rather than the words but I know what she means when she says it).
1/26/11 Cache asked me today why he couldn't make his chocolate milk move in half. What? You know, he says, so people can go through it. What? I am so confused. He runs to his room to find his little bible book and asks why he can't make his milk move apart like in the story in his book. Oh, I get it now. I told him you have to have special powers from God to be able to do that. Now he thinks God is some kind of superhero...ooops!
1/21/11 Lyla, you are such a copy cat. You mimic everything. I read you a couple of books last night and the entire time while I was reading you kept yelling, "dah dah dah dah" like you were also reading, except very loudly. Today you walked over to the shelf where all the books were and you started yelling, "dah dah dah" really loudly again. Pretty funny.
1/21/11 Lyla has started walking everywhere. She loves her new found freedom!
1/21/11 I asked cache if that was his friend brody we saw in the restroom? He said yes and then said, "well actually his name is beiber." I said beiber? And he replies, "yeah, justin beiber." What? I laughed so hard, how in the world do these boys know who Justin Beiber is?
10/16/10 Lyla has started clapping her hands.
10/16/10 Cache has started telling white lies and I am trying to teach him what a lie is and what telling the truth is. Today he kept asking me a question but I didn't understand what he was saying. Then he says to me, "mom, tell me, tell me, tell me the truth!"
10/15/10 We were getting ready to go out to dinner and I was doing Cache's hair when he looked at me and said, "mommy you look really pretty." Oh you better believe that kid got a big ice cream cone that night!
10/13/10 Cache is on this why kick. Why this, why that? We watched the babies documentary and the ENTIRE movie was why are they doing that, why do they have this, why, why, why!!!!
10/13/10 Lyla will turn to you when you call her name. Today I called her name, she looked at me, and then I said what's in your mouth? And she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. Such a smart girl!
10-03-10 Cache told me he would put soap in my mouth if I said stupid again. I never told him stupid was one of those worthy soap in the mouth words (I save that for the naughty words) it is really hard to not say stupid, but I feel like I shouldn't be saying it. Oh how the tables have turned.
10-30-10 Three teeth! Two on the bottom and one up top. Three! No wonder you have been so whiny these past few weeks.
9-07-10 My baby is crawling...everywhere! Bittersweet.
7-06-10 Cache was looking at a Book of Mormon picture book and asked why they all had swords. I tried to explain that at that time there was a lot of fighting. So he asked if when him and Lyla get older they can fight all the time with their swords. I gave up trying to explain that wouldn't be nice and just said sure. Just deal with it then!
7-06-10 I love it how cache always calls Lyla, sweet girl. So adorable!
