hello again!

Wow time is flying by! I lost my NEW camera and finally pulled out my old one... in that overlap we missed pictures of our AZ trip to see my dad, my sweet grandpa's funeral and just tons of the daily fun! So here are a few of the latest dailies!

Today I was making dinner and I saw Sienna go in the family room and get a pillow and blanket, a few minutes later I found her in her room laying on the floor with her baby doll and Malachi. She told me this is our family and she was calling Mac, daddy-- she is so funny!!

Yesterday things got quiet and I found the kids in Sienna's closet in her dress up bin!

As the kids get bigger they play so cute together and I am happy Mac is so willing to be Sienna's prince, husband, animal, monster or even Swiper (from Dora). They play so cute and nothing makes this momma happier-- now if the fighting could stop :-)

heaven... I mean Midway, Utah

This past weekend we spent a fun family weekend in the mountains! It was so nice to be away and be together!

summer = pool

Last year my kids were like little fish all summer but this summer has been absolutely crazy so far... we are glad we have finally declared it summer, officially!

Sienna in her old age has become a little more timid of the water

but not this kid!

check out Mac splashing himself in the face... that kid!

aren't they too young to lay out???

Our 4th this year was mellow, BBQ at G & G Vawdrey's on Saturday night and then church and quiet family time on th 4th.

Sienna loved celebrating America's birthday and wearing her red white and blue!

PROUD TO BE AMERICANS AND FABIANS!

Best Friends!

My best friend, Micaela, came to Utah for a family reunion and we stole her for a little of the time! While they were here we took the kids to the splash pad near my house to play and here are the only pictures I took while they were here .

free(?) entertainment

One truth of motherhood is that you are constantly entertained!!

Mac attacking during a diaper change!


With my mom moving Mac has learned to enjoy playing in boxes... and now shoe size bins- good thing the kid has tiny buns!

and loves to pose!

dress ups is a fav at our house!


This is how we found Sienna sleeping the other night.

the other day Mac used all his strength to hoist the stroller onto the ottoman and then climbed up and pushed the stroller around the ottoman.
