our bed!!

These are common sights at this house!!

backyard bbq

We have been working on our backyard this summer... it was originally a weed patch and my hard-working husband with some help (Sione, Mike, and friends) installed sprinklers, layed sod, put up a shed, built gates, and knocked down a wall around the porch. I wish we had before pictures but we don't so you can just see us all enjoying it now! Now all we have to do next summer is a higher fence on the one side of the yard. Hooray for our progress!!

Silly Sienna!

Momma's Boy!!

Saying this boy is a Momma's boy is an understatement!! If I go in another room he will come running saying MOMMY MOMMY!

He is losing his baby look :(

Sunday Dinner

Almost every Sunday we have family dinner together. This past Sunday we were at Grandma RuAn's. I am trying out my new camera since I lost my last new one... where has my brain gone??

Basically Sienna gets her sugar for the week at Sunday dinner and that is about all she eats... and after 1 o'clock church and no naps mom does not care!!

Uncle Monkey and Aunt Heather chillin with my baby!

happy kids!!

Girls Night IN!

I serve with the greatest girls in the Primary presidency... last Friday we realized all of our husbands had to work that night so we planned a girls night IN at my house! So we got pizza, fed the kids and then let them all loose in my house and we hid out in the kitchen and worked on crafts until midnight!! We ALL had so much fun!

the dance party

movie time

I forgot to take pictures of the crafters... oops!

silly boy, silly girl

My kids are silly... that is a fact!!

"Mom give me that camera!"

Could there be a more BOY picture??

Besides the hand... I love this picture because it shows Mac's LOVE for his blankies!

soap mustache... who taught her that?? Seriously!!!



My little poser!!

and another pose...

and another!!

Oh these kids!! Gotta LOVE them!!!

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 :-)
