Summer Fun

This summer we were able to do quite a few fun stuff! My family (Pao's) was able to come out and visit. My sister came for almost 3 weeks!!! And as a lot of you may already know.... it was awesome for me since Chauncey is gone ALL day and I had some company!!! It was fun, but this summer went by waaaaaay too fast... Now all that's left to do is take in as much sunlight as possible to get ready for the cold, and look forward to Lucia and my 1 month stay in Miami, Florida.... where the sun shines year-round! yay!

At the fair with daddy (titi, Chauncey, and I were able to go to the rodeo that night... fun stuff)

Lucia didn't like the wind blowing on her face.

The Birthday Party!!

Lucia turned 1 on August 12. That means she has blessed our life for a year now (13 months now... just a late post). She has brought a lot of fun laughs and sweet moments to our little family. We REALLY love her. We always talk about how 'in love' we are with our baby girl. She has a mind of her own... and I have to admit... a bit of a controlling personality! She is extremely social! She absolutely loves other kids! And if you're a grown-up and pay just a bit of attention to her... she's all yours too!!! She's a dancer, a singer, and a climber! Absolutely loves music! I don't know if to blame the love of dance to my Hispanic background or to the Tucker's love for dances! I think it's a tie :P

Anyway here are some of Lucia's birthday pics:

Blowing out the candle (well... we had to do it for her)

Licking the candle

Trying to have her dig in... but she's too gentle :P

Yummy!!!
