Celebrating birthdays is always a blast, especially when they’re for this girl. Always laughing when we’re together. Love you Alana!
Demonstrating just how tiny she is compared to her brother in law.
Chatting with Dad.
Gwen loves her Jackson!! And its never a party unless Tupaka is there!
“I love it when you call me Chewbacca!”
Happy Birthday Alana! May your soul be forever young my sweet sister. <3
We visited Tutu Nui’s grave on Halloween day since that was the day she passed. The boys blew the conch shell to the four winds for her.
We miss you Tutu Nui.
Halloween was a blast this year! Gwen was a chicken and I dressed up as a farmer! Enoch was an awesome Spinasaurus and Travis was Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King!
She was the cutest chicken ever!!
Love my little Pumpkin King!
And the coolest Spinasaurus around!
Happy Halloween!
We visit Nick’s Garden once a year to get our pumpkins for Halloween. The kids love it and its relaxing for me to just let them play for a bit. Nick’s always makes the experience so much fun with their bean bag games, hay rides, mazes, and of course washing the pumpkins! We always have a good time.
Gwen loves to push the buggie.
You will see this a few times in this post but this girl is always napping.
Pushing the buggie again. She’s such a good little helper.
I shoot photos at some really great locations!
Napper
Sometimes the kids hang out before school with the ipad.
This is why you never give an almost 2 year old a pudidng cup.
Some people have to be sneaky when they have candy they don’t want their kids to eat. I have to be sneaky with I’m drinking herbal tea that my kids want to drink.
Parent volunteer stuff again! I may this for the book fair, our theme was Sir Readalot!
Travis enjoyed using my left over supplies to make HUGE paper airplanes.
Joe helped out too by drawing the dragon and the knight.
I love play it again sports! When your kid always grows out of his cleats mid season, you can find gently used ones for $14!
She’s such a patient little girl, always letting me experiment with her hair.
Travis taking care of his reading log. He doesn’t like the writing portion but he really enjoys drawing the pictures from his books.
Again with the napping!
Chilling with Dad!
This was her second year wearing this Christmas dress! Its really nice when a kiddo doesn’t grow like a weed and you can get really great use out of their clothes for longer than a month!
Team photos!
That one time Travis got excited to wear a pair of Domo underwear even though they were a size 14!!!!
The kids always end up on me when we watch movies together. They sort of act like a living, breathing, moving human blanket.
Hmm, chicken nuggets!
Stacy watches Gwen for me whenever I have photo sessions. Every now and then I get cute photos like this from her.
It happens all the time. Nap time!
Pollito and Porter!
The City of Aurora came and dug up all of the tree stumps they had left behind when they removed a few of the dead city trees. The boys were fascinated. I should have taken a photo while they were removing the stump from our yard so you could see the amazing saw/truck/thing that removed the stumps. It was pretty neat! The boys loved it!
You don’t wear a bike helmet to floss your teeth with a three foor long piece of dental floss? Safety first!
Such is the life!
The girls! Pollito, Sadie, and Porter.
The boys love playing with the girls outside! Having them in the bucket in the basement got old really fast.
Tubby time!
