HELP! rugs....

So the top picture is my formal living room thus far. I really want to add a color possibly yellow since my other room is also this same blue color. ( I know I love it a little too much). How do I go about adding the color? If I added yellow pillows what rug should I get? I CLEARLY need HELP!

Shopping decisions....

WOOD or Plastic Kitchen set??
What would you get your little girls?
The plastic one has cool electronic features while the wood ones are just so pretty!

Manhattan how we love thee

It's been a month since we have moved ! We are starting to feel more settled and are really feeling like this was a great move for our family. We love everything about our new house and everyday it seems I like something more about this house. It has been a learning experience to pick furniture and slowly add things to our house to make it our own. I have loved shopping on Overstock.com. and online in general. Makes things so much easier and I can see why it's addicting! Getting the real thing in the mail is exciting! We got Kiera a play set and have tried to set time aside to put it together but we have been soo slow!
We also have liked getting to know this area although I still get lost all the time. My sense of direction is terrible!
Getting to know people all over again takes a while and makes me miss our old ward but I have been so grateful to how people are so nice to us in this new ward and they have sooo many talented moms who are willing to share their talents. We have free dance class, music class, soccer camp, adventure days and beach days every week! Pretty amazing! Kiera was quite the little dancer today and can really follow all the moves pretty well! I loved watching her learn and get excited. We have also been busy with Mommy and Me yoga. The picture is of her in the class. It's been definitely an interesting experience.  Summer is just so fun! We are heading to spend time with my side of the family for two weeks and we get to go on a cruise too! The only downside is that daddy has to stay and work. We will really miss him on this trip but are glad that he is willing to let us get away :D.

Guess What!

 

Guess What?

 

Torrance has been good

Two more nights in our Torrance home. Having all those mixed emotions. This is the house where Kiera was brought home to. Where she tripled the size she once was. This was our first non-school adventure together as husband and wife. Our first family ward together. I think we will miss the ward the most. It takes so long to get to know people so it is sad to not see them on every Sunday again.  We met so many great people. People who I admire and who made us feel so at home. At least we aren't moving very far away. I think I will also miss the walks/ bike rides around this torrance home. We could reach quite a few locations by foot. The gym/ mall/ farmers market/ Grocery store and the Korean store. Yet I am excited. It will be nice to be in a home where all the furniture is ours. Chosen by us. It will be nice to really organize and have space to create and play. I think kiera and I will diff love the backyard feature. I am also really excited about our new pantry. And also being able to talk/ listen to music in our office so we don't wake up our light sleeper. 

I'll keep you posted on our new ward and maybe even post some pics of our new home! 

Almost a year and a half. This age is so fun.There are so many things that she does that just cracks me up. Her little personality is starting to come through. Some of the favorite things I love that she does is ...that she will say please for other kids to give her the toy she wants. She pats my back when I cough. She gives me random hugs. I make all her owies go away. She blows kisses to strangers . She shrugs her shoulder. She loves to get attention from strangers. I love it when she plays peek a boos.  I love watching her get super duper excited at fish or when she plays with other kids. I love it when she tries to jump. She is starting to become a really good dancer. It's cute when she wakes up at night and she stands in her crib with her head leaning on the side of the crib. I love that she loves food. I love it when she talks. She loves to go brush her teeth. I love watching her really take care of her doll. I think it's hilarious when she calls me Chelsea and daddy honey. I love seeing those lips just pout. She says xie xie for thank you in Chinese all day long when I give her things. And pretends to pray for only 5 sec and sometimes will even mutter something when she folds her arms and puts her head down. She is my best buddy ( after daddy of course :P). Never knew I could become best buddies with someone so little :D.

I love these two!
