It's been so long since my last post that I totally forgot the password to WordPress! Could that be a sign of aging?

I've been up to my eyeballs with projects around here. And I can say that I'm DONE, as in D!O!N!E, put a fork in me kind of done, with my "home improvement" projects. I'll post the before and after pics in another post.

This post is about my baby, my happy-go-lucky guy, my chubby guy, my pride and joy, my Parker. There's going to be lots of bragging here folks, so if you're not a parent or you've heard it here before...just kindly go straight to the gratuitous pictures.

It would have been less of a headache and faster to buy a cake at the store and leave it to the professional. But when your adorable little girl asks for a "Hello Kitty" cake, your first thought is to try your hand at baking (that's the easy part, thanks to Mr. Duncan Hines), the hardest part is decorating and making sure Hello Kitty doesn't look like a scary drag queen.

"I think you should dye your hair"

I said as my husband gave me the quizzical look as if to say 'what are you smokin' this time!'

"No really, your hair is all gray and you're not even 40 yet! When we go out people might think that you're my dad!"

After he dusted himself off of the floor from laughing hysterically,

he said "nah, people will think you're my trophy wife!"

That's the reason why I married him folks, he certainly knows what to say.

I had to dust off my laptop and rack my brain for the password to log into WordPress to write this post. Today is very special since Trent is officially five years old!! Here he was enjoying a party with his classmates and cousins this past weekend at one of those germ-infested indoor playgrounds.

Trent has come a long way from the Early Intervention kid to quite a chatter bug overnight! The things that escape his mouth is pretty amusing. There was this one time where Sophia (2 years his junior) was telling him what to do in a very demanding tone (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, that's for sure!), and he said to her "you're not my boss Sophia!!".

One of the best part of being married to someone outside your ethnic group is that you're introduced to that person's culture. This weekend, we went to NJ to celebrate Parker's 100 days with his Korean paternal grandparents.

Although Parker's not exactly 100 days old yet but we celebrated it anyway since the kids are going back to school and making a trip to NJ would be harder in a few weeks. We did have his Vietnamese 30-day celebration already. Any excuse for a get together with friends and eat is fine with me.
