WaHooo !!!

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. I had planned a trip to DC to see the cherry blossoms, but the weather sucked. The weather in VA is so crazy. In a week, the weather can be in the 80s. Then, the next day its in the 40s. All week, the weather was great, then the weekend ended up being cold and rainy. Why ?


Anyways, we had a good time for hubby's b-day. The best part was baby MJ started walking. I was happy that I was able to catch it on video. I knew it was going to be anyday now, but I couldn't believe that he waited for hubby's b-day to decide to walk. We went in a circle and he walked to everyone. This is great b/c I was hoping that he would be walking by his b-day. I'm so proud of my baby !!

Baby Mj's 1st Birrthday

Right now, I'm trying to plan both my hubby's b-day and baby MJ's 1st birthday. It's so hard because MJ and Chloe's birthday are so close together. ((MJ 4/10:: Chloe 4/13)) So... we're thinking about doing a joint birthday party. The problem is where to do it. I have like 2 weeks left and I'm going crazy thinking about the guest list, theme, food, location. Aaaahhhh ! I should have planned this months ago.

For hubby's b-day, I'm thinking about going to Washington DC and seeing the Cherry Blossoms. He's never seen them. Also, going on a tour and visiting random places. Hubby is a real big history buff.

Easter Egg Hunt

My family had such a blast on Easter. We ate so much food that my mom prepared. Also, my sister-in-law and I made an easter egg hunt for my niece Chloe and baby MJ. It was so cute watching them as they ran in their pretty Easter clothes-- Chloe in a pretty dress and MJ in a suit. We placed 24 eggs around the front lawn. MJ only got 6 and Chloe got the rest. After that we gave their Easter baskets, and Chloe was just interested in her eggs rather than the toys that she got. I think that this will be a new family tradition.

Easter Bunny


Today, we brought MJ to Yankee Candle Factory to visit with the Easter Bunny. At first, he was so scared and just clung to my husband. Finally, he sat in the Easter Bunny's lap, but you can tell in his picture that he is scared. It was so cute !

Learning to Walk...


My little baby is learning to walk right now. He just turned 11 months, but I thought that he would be walking by now. Before I thought that he would never crawl, but go straight to walking. Then, he decided one day that he wanted to. Last week, we purchased him a Little Tikes Walker so that he can walk around the house because right now all he does is hold onto the furniture. It has helped him tremendously. I think the only thing that is stopping him is that he walks on his tippy toes. Does anyone have some advice on how to get him off his tippy toes?

Ski Trip







Sorry, it took so long to write about the ski trip. It was very beautiful and we had a great cabin. It felt like we had our own house. It was so big. Full kitchen, sauna, jacuzzi tub, high ceilings, 2 floors, and a fire place. I didn't get to experience everything that I wanted to because we didn't have someone to watch baby MJ-- like going snow tubing down the 900-ft hill. I did, however,get to try skiing and my hubby tried snowboarding. It is so hard ! I didn't know how to stop. I kept screaming down the hill "I can't stop ! Help!" and my hubby would catch me at the bottom of the hill. My body was so sore the next day ! My husband loved snowboarding so much he wants to go again soon. If we go back, I'll definitely try snow tubing. Here are some pictures from our trip....
