home...

is where our real life takes place! So here is the summary, as of late!


Sienna thinks Grandma is around just to read to her!

We spend plenty of time on the lovesac-- Mikey causes the most trouble on it!


Playdough is a new favorite!!


Sienna loves to unload the toy basket onto the ottoman


and my cute baby always seems to be in the pink stroller-- and his dad can be thanked for the mis-matched outfit!



Mac is the kid that breaks and eats pretty much everything he touches-- yes that is the chair legs on the floor behind him!!



Sienna has adopted James' spiderman slippers and will not give up her towel after baths, even being dressed-- this girl KNOWS what she wants!




Malachi sporting his new Chargers' jersey from Grandma Maria and getting all around doing his cute little army crawl!


Here is how playing together goes at our house...

everything is mellow when Sienna sees Malachi making his way to mommy!



so she comes to join the floor love fest




and the loving gets a little more intense


then baby brother is squished to tears-- oh the love!!


for now the lovesac is strategically placed by the stairs for jumping pleasure-- and no not just for the kids!


Here is Sienna spider busting a move!



and Mac loves to be a part of the action!


Here is Sienna propping her doll up, telling her say cheese, all while sporting her dad's vans!!


Mac says BYE BYE on command!!

Go USA!!!

My great friend Dawn, from San Diego, came to our neck of the woods for the big US qualifier soccer game. She made some connections and scored Omar a free ticket in one of the first few rows and she even got one of his soccer balls signed by the US players!
Omar and Dawn

Doesn't he look stoked about his great seat!


Dawn with someone cool (she is going to die that I do not know who he is!)!


Omar was close but Dawn got this close :)
THANKS DAWN!!

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

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!
