Fabulous Fridays
Well lets start off by stating that IT IS FRIDAY! What isn't fabulous about that???
My new furniture comes in TWO DAYS. I can't wait. I'm seriously counting down the days. Official dork. I'll be posting a blog about it after it arrives and I'll do a before and after, so you can see what a hot mess my living room was before. So look for it and check it out!!
Easter egg hunt tomorrow....pending weather. Can't wait! Sydni LOVES it.
Jimmy got paid today. Who doesn't love a little money in the bank? I do!!!!
Happy Friday!

Fabulous Fridays
I got my Thiry-One Order Today! I love it, and if I had more money I'd buy everything!!
Finally some warm weather. It might not seem like much, but it sure does make the day better.
A happy baby. Seriously. A crabby baby makes things not so fabulous.
My house is CLEAN. It's the small things in life that make me so happy. With a sick baby last week, that is a huge accomplishment and it makes me feel so much more relaxed.
Fabulous Week!
My Favorite Things: March
1. Elf Facial Whip - LOVE IT. It can used as a shimmer for whatever. I use it on my eyes for a primer, and sometimes I wear it by itself.
2. Sally Hansen Nail Polish - Color choice: White! I'm obsessed. I also use a nail art pen to decorate!
3. Moby Wrap - My giant of a son (20lbs80z as of a week ago and 5 months old) doesn't fit in his bjorn anymore and this wrap is AMAZING. Doesn't hurt my back and he loves it! It's a win win! (and look I found a picture of an Asian lady with an Asian baby!!!)
4. Tangled - One of my new favorite movies!!!!! And that Chameleon is so freaking cute! Enough said.
5. Opinion Outpost aka survey site - I love this survey sight and it's legit! I've already made $16.50 and I've only been doing it for around a month. Give it a try if you want. Click here!
6. Words With Friends - So what I'm obsessed. If you're a wwf addict, too, please let's just start a game together. Jkmarshall911

Liam is 5 Months Old!
BIG LIAM!
-Liam weighs 20lbs 8oz (as of March 31st)!! Let's just say my arms are in Tip.Top.Shape.
-He is still sleeping 10-12 hours a night except for recently since he's been sick. Hopefully he will go right back into routine when he starts to feel better.
-He's still obsessed with rolling over. His new thing is to do it while he's sleeping. He either ends up waking himself up or giving me a heart attack because he will just sleep ON his face. EEEK!
- He is still eating 7 oz at each feeding. He eats cereal 3 times a day and fruits twice a day. He now eats 2.5oz of fruit twice a day. and cereal twice a day. He still is only eating apples and pears since bananas hinder his ability to go to the bathroom!
-He loves facing outward when you carry him. He loves the bjorn, but he's 4 pounds away from being too big for it. I have no idea what I'm going to do without it!
-He is "talking" all the time!
-He loves looking at himself in the mirror. He starts smiling and laughing and then he throws his head in the other direction like he's embarrassed!
-He still laughs at all sorts of silly things...noises, faces, anything really!
-He's grasping EVERYTHING, and everything has to go in his mouth.
-He's found his feet!! And he figured out how to get them in his mouth, too!
-He still takes 2 naps a day. His favorite place to nap is on our bed with my body boppy pillow has the cushion. He will sleep for HOURS. Don't worry, I stay with him the whole time he's napping! :-)
-He's scooting around....and by that I mean when he's on his belly and facing one way, before we know it, he's turned himself all the way around. He also shoves his knees under his belly and pushes his butt in the air and kind of tries to hop. He'll be moving in no time!
-He is wearing 18-24 month clothes. Shirts I buy bigger sometimes, like 2t or 3t...one because they shrink a little and two, they are shirts so it's okay if they are a little big because then they will fit longer!
-He wears a size 4 diaper.
-He still chews his fingers CONSTANTLY. If he isn't doing that, normally a binkie is in his mouth.
- He's learning to sit up!
-No shots this month!! YAY!

25 things you might not know about me
Ummm so basically I'm a thief...I stole this from a friends blog, too!! 25 (how old I am) things you might not know about me. Let's begin!!
25. When I was little (and still now, too actually) I wanted to me a hair stylist. I dreamed of moving to LA, going to hair school there and doing celebrity hair! Ahhh what a dream. Well, at least I can live vicariously through on of my bffs who got to do that exact thing!!!!
24. My life plan when I was younger was to go to college, get married when I was 26 and have kids when I was 27/28. Well that turned out a little backwards didn't it? Had a baby at 18, got married at 19, graduated college at 23, and had my second child at 24! WHOO HOO!!!!
23. For those of you who haven't read my descriptions on my blog, I'm Korean. Not Chinese, Japanese, there are no dirty knees. JUST KOREAN.
22. I was adopted when I was 4 1/2 months old and lived in Hawaii until I was 2. Lucky lady I am.
21. I am secretly and have been since I was like 10-12 obsessed with Hanson. Yes the music group that has easily been confused with a group of girls. LOVE THEM.
20. I don't nor will I ever speak "asian" so don't try speaking "asian" to me when I'm out. It's annoying and rude. This mostly goes out to the people under 15 and the over 60.
19. I L.O.V.E Hello Kitty. LOVE LOVE LOVE. You name it, I probably have it....unless it costs over $100....then probably not. Hair dryer? Yes. Sandwich maker? Yes. Jewelry, shirts, contact case, belly button ring, blankets, license plate frame, underwear....EVERYTHING.
18. Dr. Pepper is my water. Seriously. I drink it like it's the only thing keeping me alive. When I was pregnant I didn't drink it.....so I'm making up for lost time.
17. When I was younger, black girls used to come up to me and feel my hair. As a 5 year old it was quite frightening. They were confused about why our hair looked the same, but felt different.
16. I have a phobia of rashes or anything resembling a rash. For example....you lay your leg on weird textured carpet, and you get up and look at your leg. YUCK. I will literally throw up. The inside of a tomato as you cut it. BARF. I once had hives in May and wore pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Enough said.
15. I can't leave the house without make up on. Doesn't matter if it's just my eyebrows (yes I fill them in), or just lipgloss. It's just weird.
14. I'm a superstar at Guitar Hero. That's right. Expert is right up my alley. I might also add that I can totally kick Jimmy's butt in NBA Live 2010.
13. I am an Apple NUT. Not the fruit, but the company. Apple Iphone, CHECK. Apple computer CHECK. Apple Macbook CHECK. Apple Ipod 1st gen, nano, itouch, CHECK. And yes I do have an Apple sticker on the back of my car thank you very much.
12. Favorite show of all time. F*R*I*E*N*D*S. Favorite character Chandler. I can tell you every episode, many lines, all characters, guest characters, pretty much everything. And yes I do watch one episode at least once a day.
11. My last meal in prison would be Stone Crab, filet, a giant Dr. Pepper and Tres Leches Cake. MMMMMMMMMMMM.
10. I'm left handed.....and so is Jimmy, Sydni, and both of my parents. I am wondering if Liam will be, too.
9. I am in a Ford family, so we ALL drive Fords!
8. I was the captain of the cheerleading squad in high school. For those who know me personally that totally fits right?
7. My top 3 favorite movies of all time are The Notebook, Romeo and Juliet (Baz Luhrmann version), and Moulin Rouge.
6. I'm a chronic Facebook checker. I stalk, but in the best and nicest way. Sounds creepy, but I swear it's not. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Too late.
5. I sleep with my own blanket. Wait,scratch that, my own comforter. That's how selfish I am. I won't share my blanket.
4. I wish I had double lids, aka, regular caucasian eyelids. Instead I have monolids. Oh well. I'll just live vicariously through my daughter....who has perfect beautiful eyes!!!!
3. I have one tattoo. It's on my lower back (yeah yeah tramp stamp) and it's a butterfly that I designed myself, which is secretly Jimmy's first two initials. Clever huh? Oh and I got it in high school. Way to think long term.
2. I wear contacts. I have glasses, too but I hardly ever wear them because they give me a headache. I've had glasses since I was in 2nd grade. My vision is AWFUL. Like -8.5 and -7.5 I think. Yeah, I'm blind.
1. I have 6 piercings. 2 in each ear (used to have 3 and 4 but they got infected, and my upper cartilage I just stopped wearing), my nose and my belly button.

I stole this from another blog.
Thanks Kodi! I took this from her blog and thought I'd do it, too.....one because I like things like this, and two because sometimes I get bored.
B. Bed size: Queen. I don't think our room would hold a King...but if it did we'd definitely have one!! A California King!!!! Even though Jimmy is way bigger than me (6'5"), I am the bigger bed hog, so a larger bed would be great.
C. Chore you dislike: Dishes! Sponges FREAK.ME.OUT! So.....Jimmy does them so I don't have to!!!! Chore I dislike that I actually do? Probably laundry.
D. Dogs: Two. Gracie: Basenji/German Shepherd mix. Shadow: Rottweiler/German Shepherd Mix. We are in the middle of figuring out what to do with them.....we have NO time for them and think they deserve better. :-(
E. Essential to start the day: Sleeping in. Thank you Jimmy.
F. Favorite color: Pink!
G. Gold or silver: How about White Gold?
H. Height: 5′ 2 1/2" Yes. The half is very important.
I. Instruments you play(ed): Piano since I was probably 8? Clarinet since I was in middle school. I still play the piano though....ya know in my spare time. I have a violin that I've yet to learn how to play....I just thought all asians should know how to play a stringed instrument right???
J. Job title: Cleaner/cook/nurse/therapist/.....wait, MOM! Professionally if you want a Teacher, but I've yet to find a job in that category.
K. Kids: Sydni Jade 6. Liam James 4 1/2 months
L. Live for ______: Love, whatever your definition is, you interpret.
M. Most embarrassing moment: Just one? Walking after school to subway before a football game in my cheerleading outfit with the girls....crossed the icy street, slipped.fell.traffic.laughing.embarrassed.
N. Nicknames: in High school, Heck, Heckster (goes with my maiden name). Now, momma-zay (Syd makes up some weird stuff), Kimbo, Kim (Jimmy started that and it stuck....I think it's because when people can't remember my name they assume it's Kim....because apparently every asian person is named Kim. Thanks stereotyping).
O. Overnight hospital stays: two children's births
P. Pet peeves: LIARS! People who put their nose into business that isn't theirs. People who can't talk.....it's not supposebbbbbbly......it's a D!!!!!! And it's probably not prolly. Please people, please.
Q. Quote from a movie: Wow. You should live in my house because there are probably 100000000000000000 movie quotes thrown around every day and used in conversation like it belongs.....so if you walk in on a conversation, you will more than likely feel LOST because it's not like, "dinner was so good...oh remember that line in the movie that was...." It's more like, "dinner was so good she was a ho- fooooooor sho!" Yeah I know. So how about this quote.....
A. Age: 25. I feel old.
B. Bed size: Queen. I don't think our room would hold a King...but if it did we'd definitely have one!! A California King!!!! Even though Jimmy is way bigger than me (6'5"), I am the bigger bed hog, so a larger bed would be great.

All right. Latrice on the manjay."S. Siblings: Only Child!
