Boys Love Dinosaurs


My family and I have been hiking up the storm recently.  This time we went up to Millard Canyon Falls which was also nestled in the mountains behind the city of Altadena.  We got our son some Timberland hiking shoes to wear this time, as our previous experiences taught us that a good pair of shoes goes a long way.  Although summer is approaching here in sunny California, it was breezy the morning of the hike.  I layered E's Dinosaurs shirt over a camouflage long sleeve shirt, that way as the weather gets hotter, we just need to take one layer off.  E loves his Dinosaurs shirt and knows more names of the species than I do.

Here He picked up some flowers again during the hike.  I love it when he tells me "mommy, I have a gift for you" and then hands the flowers to me.  A gift that costs nothing but comes from the one you love is priceless!

 A closer look of the different dinosaurs on his shirt.  I am also loving this cargo pant from Carters with functional draw cord.  When buying pants for toddlers, it is very important that the pant waists are adjustable because not all toddler waists are the same size.  My little guy for example has a very tiny waist that I so envy but he also has relatively normal length legs.


Here is the Timberland Whiteledge hiking boot that is waterproof.  E definitely had a blast running through the streams with these, especially after he heard they are waterproof.  I still had my doubts when E first submerged these shoes into the water, but my worries went away seeing that water just rested on top of the shoes.

For Daddys who want to match shoes with their son's, they have a similar Gore-Tex style in men size.  According to the hubby, they have very good support and is not heavy.  The best thing about these shoes is you can also wear them in the snow during the winter.

And how could I end the post without showing you what I wore?  The hubby bought me these Columbia Trail shoes so I don't slip and fall during hiking.  I honestly didn't really need special shoes for hiking and could just go with my Avia running shoes that I hardly wore.  However, these shoes were super lightweight, had very good traction and was semi-waterproof, which made the hike a bit easier.

Our final destination!

Life Is An Adventure

Hi! It's been awhile since I shared a post on toddler style.  To kick off Spring, I've decided to share some pictures of my little man with his new spring look on the blog.  I also want to share about this really cool Asian fusion restaurant (Kai Kadai Kitchen) we stopped for lunch that day, hope you like it!

How cute is this skate board print top from Target?  The brand is Circo and the material of this shirt is so soft!  E paired his top with a grey skinny pant from Old Navy, another favorite brand of mine.  His shoes are his favorite right now because they have Paw Patrol graphics and are so easy to put on.

He loves collecting flowers and giving them to people, such a sweet little guy.  Getting little flowers that he picks off the ground always makes my day.

After taking a walk we decided to stop by Kai-Kadai Kitchen in Rosemead for lunch.  If you like south Asian food, this place has all of your favorite dishes such as fried rice, noodle soups, pan fried noodles and charbroiled steaks.

 The hubby decided to be adventurous and ordered this Laos Crispy Fried Rice ($9).  This was our first time eating something like this and we have to say it was very good!  I don't know how they cooked the rice but the texture was crispy and crunchy and every bite was full of flavor.  A fried egg on top was a bonus.

I ordered this Tew Chow noodle soup ($8) that had fish cakes, meat and fish balls, slices of pork and shrimp.  I threw in the leeks and the bean sprouts that were provided at the table.  To be honest, it wasn't anything special but it did not taste all that bad.  It tasted as it should a noodle soup.  I found it interesting that they put both egg noodles and rice noodles in there, so you get to try different textures.

E practicing his chop stick skills.  In this picture, he layered his Circo top with a button front cardigan from Old Navy.


 Vanilla ice cream from Fosselman's was free if you check in on Yelp.  Who would say "no" to ice cream, especially when it is free?

Paw Patrol! (Halloween Costume)

A few weeks before Halloween, we brought this little guy a Batman costume and thought we've got it covered.  Who would've known that the day before he was going to wear the costume, it turned out to be too tight on him! Anyhoo, the hubby came to the rescue and took this little guy to Costco to see if they would have any luck in finding something.  And guess what? This little guy found this Paw Patrol costume all on his own! He has been a bit obsessed with this show lately and just want everything Paw Patrol.  We are happy that he found something that he liked and wouldn't mind wearing, score!

 Something else that we really liked about this costume is it came with a backpack.  This backpack was so useful! Instead of a basket, which little ones can sometimes forget and leave behind, this backpack is attached at all times so one less thing to worry about!

It's All About the Layers


One thing I do appreciate about Fall weather in SoCal is that I can dress this little guy in layers.  I don't know why but I think one just look more polished when he wears more than one piece of clothing.  I personally wear a lot of cardigans in my outfits so I thought why not put one on my son.  The end result is? As you can see from the picture... quite stylish I would say!
