KINO IS HERE!!

My sister is a trooper!

She went through blood, sweat, and tears...literally to get this

little boy here! Her whole birth plan got turned flip upside down.

I will let you hear the whole story on her blog.

The whole pregnancy my kids have been so excited!

Reagan would say

Is that your Kino?

Where is your Kino?

So now I always ask her if her Kino is coming to see us!

Seeing this picture makes me feel like they were greeting a friend that they already

knew in Heaven. They must have been best of friends.

He was getting a little fussy so Carter stuck his hand in his mouth. He calmed down.

Good job Carter.

He is so adorable. Kendra said it looks like he is shooting laser beams out of his eyes in this pic.

Reagan didn't much like pretending she was a little baby. I thought it was funny though.

So sweet!

The entertainment

After we had a good visit we went out to eat.

Chris was so nice to entertain Regs. She loves to play with him!!

Congrats guys!!!

Your Kino is perfect in every way!

First Day of School 2010

Summer went by WAY to fast.

I love these kids more than words can express.

They each have their own special talents and quirks.

It is so fun as parents to learn about what makes them each unique.

Grandma drove out clear from Newport Beach to be there bright and early for
their first day of school. She is such a fantastic Grandma and as a result
my kids ALWAYS ask for her. If two days go by and they haven't
seen my parents they start asking constantly about them.

It is going to be a fantastic year!

Family Fun Day at the Stable

Once a year the Stable where my Mom has her horse stable at they have

a Family Fun Day. My kids love it there so we went.

I forgot to take pictures of the event, but here

are some of us playing with Zipper after.

He is such a sweet horse. He lets the kids run around him and stays clam as can be.

Getting Carrots for Zipper

Giving Zip a bath.

Mixing up a treat for zipper.

Birthday Crepes

My big boy turned 8!

We had a small party this year because we threw a big one for his baptism!!

I am going to do a special post on that!

Happy Birthday big boy!

We love you so much and are so very proud of you!!!!

All my kids ever want are CREPES.

They take forever to make so I don't make them that often.

When I asked Cooper what he wanted for breakfast on his birthday and

he of course he said crepes.

I was happy to fill this birthday wish.

Silly Faces

Cooper LOVES to take pictures!

Here are a few of my silly boys having fun with the camera.

Reagan's Birthday

This little Pinkalicious princess is our cherry on top.

I can't even explain to you how special she is to us.

Some of her favorites:

PINK PINK PINK

Pink dresses

Pink shoes

Pink bracelets

Pink everything

Her room is mostly Pink

Beauty and the Beast

Tinkerbell

Bike riding

Ella Lowry and Brynna Scott

snuggles at bed time

She LOVES fruit
crepes
ice cream
Chicken
One of my favorite things to do with her is lay down with her to get her to sleep at nap time.
I sing You are my Sunshine to her
Tickle her arm, face and back and hair.
She always has to have her binky and her softie pink blanket.
I love that she loves her blanket.

Happy Birthday pretty girl!

We love you more than you will ever know!

Summer Nights

During the summer we are ALWAYS at the beach.

My kids love it and so do I.

Roasting marshmallows was also another fav!
