FEM*A & Other Life Lessons

In case y'all were wondering where we were this last weekend, Fo and I did pretty much the most spontaneous thing we've done collectively as a couple. (I know what you're thinking...we're pretty much the epitomy of spontaneity already, practically combusting during our spur-of-the-moment trips to Home Depot and Triple B aka Bed, Bath and Beyond...).

Anyways, back to this weekend, we decided on Thursday to head up to Portland to hang out with my sis - Son, my BOL - Kev, my all-grown-up-going-to-school-it's-almost-time-when-his-head-will-finally-be-in-proportion-to-the-rest-of-his-body nephew - Caleb, and my mini-me-my-daugther-is-almost-her-size-and-she's-two-years-younger-cutest-thing-to-ever-walk-the-earth-next-to-Alyssa niece - Casey! Honestly, my fondest memories in life have been just hanging out with the fam in the Northwest, so to say we were looking forward to this weekend would probably be an understatement...

Now, I understand you don't read this to listen to any of my ramblings, so on to the picture show that was our weekend...



Life Lesson #1 - FEM*A

There is one life truth that one must remember above all, even above happy wife = happy life and don't ever leave the toilet seat up... Force Equals Mass * Acceleration. My Casey bear unfortunately learned this message the hard way.


We were just hanging out at Portland church (where apparently almost every family in the whole church is protesting China's One Child law by having 6 kids each), watching the kids on various wheel based instruments (e.g. rollerblades, skateboards, bikes, scooters, etc..). It was almost like a druken Nascar event, with little blurs heading every which way as far as the eye could see. Along comes Casey, meandering along, when a kid comes around the corner on a bike at Mach 2 and bowls into her! Now, usually, one throws their arms out in an effort to break their fall. Alas, Casey has yet to learn this critical lesson, choosing to stop her fall with her forehead. The aftermath is:



Simple Physics, you say? I would agree.

Life Lesson #2 - Don't Send Girls Shopping Alone

Using the con of "You guys stay home and watch football while we go out shopping" to spend some "quality" time together, Fo and Son embarked on Sunday to go shopping. Usually, I expect Fo to come back from her trips with little bobbles from her expedition. However, this time, she got SangMi a $42 coat that was made out of recycled 2-liter Coke bottles or something?!? Apparently, Son and Fo are double-handedly trying their darndest to keep our economy afloat during these rough times. That being said, SangMi is pretty damn cute in the coat, if I do so say so myself...

Life Lesson #3 - There Really Is Nothing Better Than Hangin' Out with Family...

Random Pics...

My daughter worried about the anorexic state of Hollywood...Ironic, no?

Kev is Saesim's padawan when it comes to Jedi Master of Meat Grilling. Tasty? Believe dat...

My nephew and niece rockin out (Caleb playing Slow Ride on practice mode at the slowest speed is about the funniest 40 minutes of your life...Let's just say he gets his rhythm from Kev...)...

Check out the Wizard of Oz shoes and the facial expression...I really want to just bite her, I do...

The Kids. One happy, one indifferent, and one that's just kinda ehhh... No pressure, Brian, Linda, Grace...Just sayin'....

Fo is FIRED!

Ok folks...It's been awhile. While you may expect great things since it's been a minute since Felicia's last post, take solace in knowing that I have fired her from blogging. From this point forward, I will be assuming all duties and responsibilities as Head Blogger and CEI (Chief of External Information) to our faithful audience of two.

More to come shortly...

She survived 100 Days!!

June 11th was Alyssa's 100th day. On Sunday (father's day) we had a nice little dinner for her. I can't believe how time has flown by. It feels like it was just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. She was so tiny, I didn't know what to do with her. Oh how she's grown. She's a chubby little one. You wouldn't have known she was only 5lbs 5oz when she was born.

Wow.. SHe's so yellow (how did we not know then??)It's so fun being around her right now. She's starting to smile and 'talk' a little more each day. I can't imagine my life without her. I lOve you Alyssa. Happy 100th day!!
