P.A.R.T.Y

Wow has the definition of that word changed a lot in the last few years!!! Last weekend we played and played. Friday we went to a special flag display for 9/11, there was a flag for each person that died-- it was very surreal!!

cousin LOVE

and then the tackle (yes that is Sienna under James)



After the flags we went to the mall to ride the carousel.

Sienna ate her yummy pb&h



Mac was patriotic



I enjoyed having O with us!!

Malachi loved his first carousel ride with Aunt Anna

and Sienna watched-- no we are not mean, she was too chicken to ride!!



Saturday we took the troops bowling!

or dancing-- I felt like I was in a little people club!

my happy boy!

Sienna finally gave in and tried pizza-- she took one bite and then wiped down!

Sienna, backpack Elmo and Abby dancing

super dad!

and this cute little scene went on for a while!!

Thanks Grandma Vawdrey!!

My sweet grandma gave the 4 grand kids new pajamas the other night... and here are how things unfolded as we tried to get a good picture of the 4 of them!

at first Sienna would not stand by the older 2-- but during this picture she was off getting her own chair



so we think we are on a roll-- they are all in



that lasted 1 second until Sienna was DONE!



so James took a seat




as soon as James sat in HER chair she was back with a vengeance- notice Maddie is oblivious to it all!!

she got her chair back and there was hope!





until James started bugging poor Malachi



and he got MAD!!




James got wild, Malachi was throwing a mini-tantrum and the girls just watched!



and Sienna took her turn hitting!



so mom interfered and Sienna pulled out that devil smile!!

SO WE QUIT!!!

Better luck in 10 years!

HEY!

I can stand now!

oh and I LOVE dogs,

unlike my sister who is totally scared of them!

BUT...

our little sleepy baby at the end of the night!

What I mean when I say busy!!

I know I always say I am busy, but this cute little munchkin really has been keeping me even more busy lately! He has had chronic ear infections since the spring so we have gotten to go to the pediatrician and urgent care more than anyone should, so finally it is time for tubes. He saw the ENT and is scheduled for his little surgery next week. This poor kid has also starting starving himself because of food allergies!! We just saw an allergist this week, we already knew he is allergic to milk and eggs but they are doing more extensive testing to figure out what else is on his allergy list. He has started to refuse soy formula so we are now trying Nutramigen but things are not going well so I am sure we are soon onto a more expensive formula!! I just want my poor little baby to feel good!!

WE LOVE...

stuffing (who taught her that??)

mom's deodorant
(she really takes it everywhere)

dora tights
(I had to hide them so she does not wear them everyday and night!)

being big enough for the wagon


the kitchen floor and pretend cell phones

and we LOVE to chill!!!
