Sunday bike ride

We live a short walk from the Peace Gardens, and it is the ideal spot for the kids to get some bike time in, jammies and all! Sienna is really into her bike and Malachi tires quickly but someday he'll get there :-) 

our 4th

We had a such a fun, relaxing night of barbecuing and street fireworks with the Anderson's!

Sienna and Parker

I love these tramp pics

do you love the awkward picture?

It was so cute, Parker was trying to teach Sienna how to do a cartwheel

good thing Micaela had the camera!

Malachi LOVED the cake



Oh Omar!!

Malachi was in heaven with the sparklers and fireworks!

Micaela and Parker



Sienna and O

Sienna thought the fireworks were fine until we got a crazy dud firework that shot at us- Malachi didn't flinch and Sienna bit through a glowstick, then in the bathroom getting cleaned up heard more fireworks and thought they were killing those of us outside, poor girl!!

me and my baby-- how will I ever stop calling him that?!

Malachi idolizing Garner once again!

the Eddington's in Utah!

Oh the Eddingtons!! They are one of my absolute favorite families in this world! I got to help them out with their kiddos and live with them the year I met Omar, they are family to me! It was fun to spend a day with them in Park City-- nothing like 3 cute babysitters loving on your kiddos while you relax on a lounge chair catching up with a dear friend!!

time we had!!

my kiddos at the zoo

all of our kids- Aisley, Sienna, Malachi, Parker, Laney, and Garner

Me and Micaela- we are the worst at taking pictures together, I am glad we remembered once this trip!

Malachi and Parker- Malachi LOVED having big boys around!

especially Garner, I am pretty sure Malachi would adopt him as a big brother if he could!

Malachi and his wannabe brother, Garner!

We did a lot of fun things and these are the pictures I remembered to take!

We wanted to do something fun to tell the kids the gender of the baby, so of course I turned to Pinterest and here is what we decided on!

the kids excitedly waiting

and posing

Sienna telling me she thinks she caught a peek!

IT'S A BOY!!

Malachi was so excited, Sienna was almost confused!

After the initial shock, Sienna realized she was not getting a sister!

 Daddy made her feel better!!

and the party continued

the kids loved the balloons

the Anderson's were there that night all the way from Arizona!
