Just Run

Image
For Father's Day I ordered a cake from a local Vietnamese baker and told them on the phone that I want it to say "We Love You Daddy" When we got our cake, they somehow made a mistake and wrote We Love YOUR Daddy. haha We definitely had a good laugh! Apparently they love him too! On Saturday I ran an 8k race to support the CHKD and it was such an invigorating feeling to cross the finish line with the pace of 9:46 per mile. I finished 51 out of 171 finishers in my age group! My body felt so renewed and refreshed and can't wait do another race. Documenting the race through my iphone Kaylee was super excited for her first 8K! Before the race After the race, we are still smiling! Couldn't have done it without my coworker who helped me trained for the 5 miles! Me being cool ha ha If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you'be been running for twenty tears. There is

Life's a beach, so we play in the sand

Image
Spending time with my little sister and her bff at the beach while they were in town; being in a place where sand and sun are involved is invigorating. Coming to the beach can definitely brighten up your mood and make you happy. (Look at how happy Kaylee is!!) She is enjoying the sunshine and being with her two aunties on a beautiful day. Super duper excited about running an 8K race(5 miles) this weekend! I have been training for it so hopefully I will do well, wish me luck! I was featured on my company's blog this week on my diy stuff. Happy Thursday!

Photography:: Alluring and Luminous

The sun, luminous and alluring, created the perfect lighting. Her relaxed waves and long, billowy skirt were perfectly tuned; romantic blissfulness. Brilliant color blocking- radiant blush and soft, demure turquoise- captured the rapturing sunset and illuminated her kind features. Beautiful photo shoot. Melissa was a pleasure to shoot, a natural for one thing, but also open for suggestions and guidance. She traveled over 1,400 miles from Sioux Falls, SD, to visit my precious baby K, along with my younger sister Lena, so a photo shoot? I couldn't resist. An avid fashion enthusiast, Melissa styled the shoot herself, sticking to romantic textures and bold color combinations. Her top was thrifted at a local shop for under two dollars; her skirt, Forever 21. Pulling the entire look together, beautifully and alluring.

Kaylee at 15 Months!

Image
Little Miss K is walking like a boss now, constantly on the go and we have to be more watchful than ever to keep her from bumping into things. She is starting to throw some tantrums but I guess tantrums are inevitable for a 15 months baby? Her bedtime has been pretty consistent, in her crib by 9:30! Woo-Hoo! I love her so much but I also love it when she's sleeping peacefully in her crib. We met up with a college friend of mine last weekend at the beach and we were able to see Miranda Lambert in concert through the balcony. Too bad I was too busy chasing after Kaylee, she can not sit still!!! My friend's baby is only 8 months and she is too adorable for words!!! Kaylee can't stop touching her small cute fingers. Busy busy week for me, my sister and her friend are in town so I'll be busy showing them around. It would be great if I can get rid of this cold I am having too! Happy Thursday!
