Now lets just hope it holds up over night!

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

Saturday, December 18, 2010 | | 0 comments
This street in San Carlos does an amazing job decorating their houses, one time when we went they even had fake snow.  Such a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.  One day our house will look like this!



Now if only I can convince Kyle to take a picture with Santa!

Kyle Quote of the Day

"Be rightttt back...stay there Mama, your having a lot of fun!"

My Precious Son

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 | | 2 comments
Look at that face, so sweet and innocent.........


but come bedtime..N-I-G-H-T-M-A-R-E!!!!

He is so good at naps, practically crawls right into bed around 2 o'clock.  But when nightime comes around we hear "I can't go to sleep!" about seventy two times before he actually hops into his bed.  Last night, which is a typical night went a little something like this...

Mama:  "Ok get in your bed please"
Kyle:  "I can't go to bed"
Mama:  "Why not?"
Kyle:  "um...um..I need five more minutes"
Mama:  "You've had about three five more minutes"
Kyle:  "How bout read a book?"
Mama:  "We've read plenty of books"
Kyle:  "I need Mr. Owl"
Mama:  "OK, here you go"
Kyle:  "I need milk"
Mama:  "You already had milk"
Kyle:  "Juice"
Mama:  "Um no"
Kyle:  "How bout water"
Mama:  "How bout no, close your eyes"

10 seconds goes bye, and he starts to whisper

Kyle:  "The issy bissy spider..."
Mama:  "Kyle please be quiet and close your eyes"
Kyle:  "I can't I'm singing!"
Mama:  "Kyle!"
Kyle:  "I can't go to sleep...I'm too heavy"
Mama:  "Ky...!"
Kyle:  "I'm too big"
Mama:  "Shhh, please roll over and go to bed"
Kyle:  "Mom, I'm talking to youuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Mama:  "I know but its time to sleep!"
Kyle:  "I need your hair"
Mama:  "Good night Kyle, I love you"
Kyle:  "Good night, yuv you!"

20 seconds goes bye...

Kyle:  "A, B, C, D, Eeeeeeeeee..."

And then the cycle starts all over again for a good 30 to 60 minutes.  Its exhausting!

Now you know why Dom and I take turns putting him to bed!

Another Day at the Zoo

Tuesday, November 30, 2010 | | 0 comments
We decided to work off our horrible Thanksgiving Dinner (turkey = barf) by taking a trip to the zoo on Black Friday.  Aside from all of the animals picking at strange places on their bodies (yes I especially mean you Mr. Baboon), it was fun, yet exhausting.  Santas reindeer also made an appearance, and I feel for him, cause they stunk.

Especially 4th of July & Halloween...
This was her on Sunday, either she wanted to dress up as a ghost or she didn't like the decorations she saw on our walk.  Poor thing!

I'm having writers block...

Today Kyles preschool class took their first field trip to Lemos Farm in HMB.  We had perfect weather for train rides, hay rides and some jumpie house fun.  Kyle even picked out his first pumpkin.  It was a great way to kick start our Halloween spirit.

Preschool Update

Thursday, September 16, 2010 | | 0 comments
So remember when I said "not one tear" well I take that back.  He has gone to school this week Tuesday and today, and has cried at both drop offs, but as soon as I  leave the room he stops.  The teachers are great with him, I am just hoping it gets easier, since he tells me all morning "no not school!"  Anywho, when I picked him up Tuesday he was all smiles and kept saying "Mommy your here!!!!!!!"  Here are his first official art projects from preschool....so cool!


First Day of Preschool

Thursday, September 9, 2010 | | 0 comments
Today was Kyle's first day of Preschool at Hope Lutheron.  He was such a champ.  I have been dreading this day for awhile now, but he did way better then Dom and myself.  When it was time to say goodbye he gave us hugs and waved, I tried to hold my composure as I told myself, none of the other parents are teary! I paced for the 2 1/2 hours he was there, waiting for the phone call saying to come get him because he's just not ready for preschool...but it didn't come, phew!  When I walked into the classroom to pick him up I saw him in a teachers arms crying, they said the kids were all doing good until they saw their parents arriving, haha.  Another teacher told me that he did good at first, in the middle kind of lost it, and then when they went on the playground he was fine.  He even went potty on their toilet.  We took him to lunch at Nordys Cafe afterwards and his bff Draven was there....such a good way to end such an exhausting morning for him.  I'm such a proud Mother, I hope next week it gets easier.  Congrats Little Man on your first day!

"Vicci's Going to Kill Me"

Yup, that was one of the first thoughts that came into my head when the ultrasound tech said "looks like a girl!"  Will expand on that later, haha.
I still cannot believe it.  Its going to be a whole new experience, but we are very excited.  I have to admit, I dread the color pink, not because its ugly just because I am picturing it in overload.  But Tia Amanda got the baby her first outfits, which are adorable, so I guess, maybe a little pink will be ok!

Cheating

Uh oh, looks like we have quite the mischevious 3 yr old on our hands. My friend Michelle suggested we make a reward chart to help with Kyles potty training (I call it the Pee-Pee Progress Report). Every time Kyle goes pee in the potty he gets a sticker, when a row fills up he hets to pick a small toy from the toy bag. One day I walked by it and there were a couple more stickers on it then I remember, nice try little guy!

Too HOT!

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 | | 1 comments

Summer finally made an appearance this week, and apparently it was sick of people complaining about the weather so it decided to teach us a lesson for a couple of days...



The house gets unbearable in this weather so what better thing to do then take advantage of living ten minutes away from the beach.  Highway 92 was bumper to bumper so we had to go to Pacifica.  Its not as pretty as HMB but Kyle had no complaints!









Whats wrong with this picture?


Yes that is a skunk!  

Kyle-ism of the day

Kyle:  "Mama I fell on my butt!"
Me:  "Oh no, are you ok?"
Kyle:  "Kiss it Mama...kiss my butt!"

Having Some "Babyitis" Today

Thursday, August 5, 2010 | | 2 comments
Such cute stuff!

"ABC Elmo Sippy Cup"

Wednesday, July 28, 2010 | | 0 comments
These are Kyles sippy cups:

Literally...these are the ONLY sippy cups he will drink out of.  If you try and give him a different one because you CAN'T FIND THE ABC ONES IN ANY STORES NEARBY!!!, he refuses to drink and screams as if you are serving him pureed vegetables.  They have been chewed, thrown, and washed way too many times then allotted.  Well yesterday Kyle wanted some milk, and since all of the ABC Elmo sippy cups were dirty, Dom being his imaginative self thought of a great idea!
Look how creative my husband is...


HAHAHAHAHA

"Baby Lippi"

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 | | 3 comments
Yup, its true.  The cat got out of the bag a bit early so its probably not much of a surprise, but the Filippi Familia is happy to annouce that we are having a baby early next year, a.k.a "Baby Lippi" (Kyle has already picked out the name).  We are so excited but sooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous.  How do people do it with more then one child?!?!?!?!


To my future son/daughter: I saw your first pictures yesterday, I'm still smiling from ear to ear, I am already in love...again, we can't wait to meet you!

To Kyle:  I know you are going to be the best big brother, your so loving and thoughtful, just please...share your toys. ;) 

To the best doggie in the world:  I apologize in advance for anymore tail pulling, kisses and constant hugging too hard, I will try my best to keep this one away...unless of course if its a great photo opportunity!

Love, Mama Filippi

Summer...I love you!

Yes I have a bit of an obsession with ducks.

Thursday, July 15, 2010 | | 0 comments
But after seeing all the poop they are capable of producing, um, no thank you!  
Auntie Margie took us to a duck park near her house in Hayward. 
 It was the perfect weather for a stroll around the pond.


Kyles great at his duck imitation!


The ducklings were soooooooooooo adorable.




They followed us around the entire pond.



And then there were the geese.  I must say it was pretty scary seeing so many coming at you at once!


They were very friendly though.  I wanted to take this one home...but then...


I saw some more poop.



"Yo Quiero Taco Bell"  Sorry, could'nt help myself.  Auntie Margies dog Annie is adorable too!
