My First Halloween...

today is halloween, a day that i personally don't celebrate. but now as a daddy to haley, cherie encourages me to take haley out to explore. so today before daylight disappears, we took haley out for the first time in her halloween costume given by one of her uncle, uncle ted and auntie june.

haley is sooo adorable in this bumble bee costume.

here's haley doing her "Oh-Nooooo" gesture.

Quick Shots of Haley

here are some quick photos of haley that was shot by me using our Canon Powershot SD750 point and shoot camera. who would've thought with a bit of editing, the photos would come out that great.

here are some photos of haley playing in the sunflower field next to some pumpkins...

Haley's First Pumpkin Patch

it's been a while since i last posted. i've been lazy.. and i can totally see my blog starting to collect cob webs, which i suppose is ok, since it's nearing halloween.

here are some photos of haley's first visit to a pumpkin patch. in case if ya'll don't know what a pumpkin patch is... well, it's basically a pumpkin farm. every year before halloween comes around, the farm will open up to the public for everyone to come and enjoy. it's kind of like thanksgiving, where the tradition is, after the thanksgiving lunch, the whole family will go out afterwards to pick up a christmas tree.

similar to that, you can bring kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out different types, colors and sizes of pumpkin to take home and carve into a jack-o-lantern. we had a lot of fun that day, because it was also the first time for cherie to visit the pumpkin patch as well. it was a very fun day with the family and my canon 30D. the only complaint was that we didn't bring enough cash to bring home a pumpkin and the weather was just too hot. at least we brought just enough money for parking, which was $3. thank God! otherwise, it would have been horrible trying to back out of the parking lot, when there's tons of cars waiting behind us.

2nd day after haley turns 14 month old.. her first photo with pumpkins. she's such a happy baby!


it got too hot, so cherie gave haley her hat to wear. see how haley is trying to steal that pumpkin?
doesn't haley look like a pirate!! AUGRRRR~~


ah... more pumpkins to pick and choose from. see that small pumpkin on the right side in the middle of the hay field? well, that's the pumpkin she took from another isle and now leaving it there to take others. haha..


here's the two beautiful ladies in my life... haley and her mommy, cherie.

Tennis runs in the family...

recently, my doctor told me that my cholesterol is too high. more like 235 to be exact. so besides trying to eat more healthy and walking 30mins daily during lunch, i am also trying to do some exercise.

i come from a family that plays tennis, dad is a great tennis player, mom use to play before her knee injury. i use to play tennis a lot like crazy back when i was in high school. but then again, there wasn't much to do in Houston, besides tennis, fishing or watching TV. so i a tennis freak. since then, i rarely picked up a racket or a game or two, just seldom.

starting from last week, i started to play tennis with one of our friends, whom is very much into tennis. this week, we met up for our weekly tennis on sunday and today, cherie and haley came with us to the courts.

while i was playing tennis, haley was having so much fun running into the courts with a tennis ball. she was our offical ball girl.

later on, she went into my bag and start to pick up a racket and swing around. don't forget, this girl is only 13 months and 10 days old.
