the old man is older...

29 to be exact! For O's birthday this year he got a BIG gift, I saved and family pitched in,

and he got an ipad (he was shocked)!!



We spoiled him all day from french toast to mini golf and skating with the kiddos, to an overnight minus kiddos!

The next day at our family dinner he got his cake!

Agnes (the mother of these darling little kiddos) was my roommate, what feels like yesterday but was actually about 11 years ago. After years of living in different states we are happy to live close again! We have been playing a lot and our kiddos love each other! This day we played all day from my house to the children's museum to the zoo-- guess we still like to party!!

All the kids minus baby Penelope. Mara, Sienna, Ruby, Ella, Ezra and Malachi.



Checking out the seals and sea lions

Me and Agnes

Nothing like child photographers, just glad we got a picture!

You gotta love pouty Malchi in the background!!

Finally he got what he wanted!

the crazy 3 yr old buddies- Malachi and Ruby!



celebrating the daddy!

I absolutely LOVE days we celebrate Omar, he is so fun to spoil!

My attempt to copy a pinterest idea-- never turns out perfect but Omar loved his new picture for his desk!

Going in to start the spoiling!

I love the bedheads!!

little surgery

Malachi was the unlucky kid who had to have his tubes removed surgically instead of them falling out on their own! The morning of surgery Omar had a big test and we had to be there SO early so I decided to just take Sienna with me. When we got there they told me I could not go into recovery with Malachi because only one person is allowed and I  had Sienna. The pregnancy hormones hit and I was a wreck!! I think I scared them, they fast tracked him out of recovery to a room I could be with him!! Everything went as smooth as possible! It made me so thankful for healthy kids!!!

He DID it!!

Leave it to Omar to not train and to just go run a half marathon!! It was really exciting being at the finish line waiting for him!!

waiting!

 and there he is!



Malachi stealing his medal



and wearing it with pride!

Daddy and all his biggest fans!



how cute are they?!?!

I feel like I rarely get a picture with both kids genuinely smiling and looking at the camera-- this is one of those RARE pictures and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

the everydays at home in June

 Here dad, hold my chipmunks! (do you love the leotard and goggles?)

Found this one night-- she snuck in our room and put her chipmunks to bed next to her, she is a good mommy!

 camping out in the backyard

oh boys!! They all just laid there and colored their bellies with chalk!

Giving those stinky dolls a bath!

This girl keeps sneaking in our room early in the morning-- I am thinking it is because daddy is such a comfy pillow!!

This kid LOVES daddy's desk, I find him here a few times a day just sitting-- hoping that means he wants to be just like his daddy!!
