cheerleading in our future???

Probably NOT!

Sienna did a little cheer clinic with one of my young women, she was the class clown and almost did not go out for the performance!!

she spent most of the time right there

waiting...

I was recording the dance so these pictures are it!!

My Grandma

Last month when we went to see my grandma I was telling Sienna to tell grandma about her undies and so instead Malachi started taking off his pants to show grandma his diaper!

grandma has a special place in her heart for this boy because he looks like my grandpa and she says he acts like him! Little tease!!

This month when we went An curled Grandma's hair so she would feel a little better!!

train ride

OK train is a total exaggeration... but we told Malachi it was a train!!

Waiting for Trax!

how happy is this kid?


oh the scenery of downtown!




so easily made happy!!

dipping pretzels in ketchup-- o is disappointed it is not hot sauce!

Malachi

Also known as Mac, Macky, Macky poo, Baby, and Baby Brother... this kid has many nicknames and possibly many personalities :) He is definitely 2 and makes sure we all know! He talks so much and melts your heart with his little sly smile. He is slightly too influenced by his big sister and sometimes wears heals, has painted toenails, wears headbands and dresses and plays with barbies. He is the most loyal little guy I have ever seen-- the other day his little friend was here and did something mean to Mac and when his mom grabbed him to discipline him, Mac followed yelling at her "Give me my friend back!" When Sienna gets in trouble, so do I, Malachi will be following me saying, "Stop it, she my sister!" He is a snuggler and a little lover boy, he loves to be naked and is often found nude in his crib in the morning, he loves to build and destroy, he loves all things boy and is quite the little wrestler!! We love this kid!

he loves his sister-- and her shoes!

"creative" building

during his cooking (notice the pot on the floor) he decided to put the strainer on his head as a hat, all while wearing his new shoes that were still connected together-- what???

loving daddy

one of his favorite boys to play with, his cousin J

some gymnastics moves he came up with all on his own!

more proof!

To follow the last post my little mess maker seems to out-do herself, much to my dismay. This is what I found, way past bedtime, the other night-- she is in a church dress, red shoes, a tiara and she is playing in her huge mess of a room!! I am going to think this is funny someday, right?!?

Sienna

I am not sure what to say about this girl, she is a wild and crazy one that always makes you laugh and sometimes makes you want to cry, out of frustration! She is smart and stubborn, sweet and sassy, she keeps me on my toes and draws attention to us everywhere we go!

The other morning Omar was getting ready in the bathroom and Sienna went in and sat on the rug and said to him, " What should we talk about Daddy? Princesses or Jesus?"

Everywhere we go she tells people, "This is my little brother, his name is Malachi, he is awesome!

If I give her two choices, like come sit at the dinner table or go to time out, she will then give me two choices and then say, "Got that?"

I just put a pen behind my ear and she told me I look like Handy Mandy (Manny).

She loves to give nicknames, she calls my brothers dog Nikko, Neeks, and she calls my friend's little boy Griffin, Griffy Grif.

Some of the funny things she says:

movie theodore = movie theatre

what the freaking heck? (oops, bad mom)

Old McDonalds = McDonalds

She tells me she is going to marry her baby(Malachi)

she tells me O is my honey

she calls her underwear, undies

We cleaned her room right before nap and when I went to check on her this is what I found!!!

I always lay out the kids clothes, so I guess now she lays out her dress-ups! Do you love the matching bow and purse?

whenever we have to go potty she opens her stool, sits on it and calls it her potty!



next to dress-ups and barbies the chipmunks are one of her favorite things to play

Love this girl!!
