We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Lincoln Meets Santa

Lincoln's school invited Santa to visit last week. He called each kid up to sit in his lap and gave them a little gift. Lincoln was so excited to see Santa; he could hardly wait for his turn. It was a fun day!!! (check out Santa's glasses, lol!)

Here and There

Just some fun pics from this past month!

Gavin's Christmas program

On December 10, Gavin's school hosted a Christmas program where 190 three and four year olds gathered on stage to tell the tale of Christmas. They sang & danced their hearts out. Gavin was such a ham. He did well remembering the words and hand motions. He got really into the songs and closed his eyes several times; it was funny! His favorite part was the fancy clothes. We were lucky to have his all his grandparents join us.

Sienna's first Thanksgiving

We are so thankful for this little cutie

A Magical Weekend

Are we spoiled or what?!? We went to Disneyland recently with my parents. It was such a great vacation!! First they treated us to breakfast with the characters. The kids loved it!

 

Then we checked into the Paradise Pier Hotel. We had a great day at the pool. They let us pool hop over to the Disneyland Hotel that has 4 water slides for adults and kids. Dusty and I had so much fun riding the water slides with the boys.

 

 Sienna relaxed with Poppy and Grammy.

 

The next day we went to California Adventure. The boys loved all the rides! Especially Cars Land.

8 months

At eight months old, Sienna is a BUSY girl. She is crawling and standing (when holding on). She is into everything including our fireplace and her brothers toys. She says Dada, claps, and is starting to sign 'more'. I think I've heard the begining of "Ma" here and there when she cries. She is the perfect adition to our family. We all adore her!

Happy 8 months Sienna Bear

Fun with Friends

I am way behind on my blog posts, so today I'm catching up.

 

We spent Labor Day with our friends. We always have fun with these awesome people!

 

 

The kids started a dance party on the ledge of the pool. It was hilarious!

The Endless Summer

One of the best Christmas gifts we have received was a trip to the Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach. We stayed there for 2 nights at the end of August just before the kids went back to school. We had a blast to say the least. Who wouldn't at this beautiful resort. We had a beach front room, great weather, and our family. Dustin and Lincoln paddled around on the surfboard most of the time while Gavin and I played in the sand. We also had fun swimming in the pool and walking to nearby restaurants. I hope we will get to go back very soon! 

 

Swinging

makes her happy!

Seven Months

This first year is flying by. Sienna is loving her baby food (sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, pears, and squash). She can sit up, army crawl, and is super smiley. She loves toys and pits them all in her mouth. She is teething a little and not sleeping through the night consistently but otherwise she is a DOLL!!

Sunday Funday

We borrowed my parents boat on Sunday and took the kids to Lake Silverwood. We had a blast! The boys loved driving the boat. I think we will go back again soon!

Lincoln's favorite new toy

Lincoln's latest creation: He is towing his "boat". Elmo is along for the ride!

When you have big brothers....

Six Months

Sienna is six months old and just as sweet as can be. She weighs 15.1 lbs and is 25 inches. She recently started sleeping in her own room and is sleeping through the night (about 10-11 hours) most nights. She started baby food and seems to like it. She still needs a little practice swallowing and not swinging at the spoon. She wants to grab everything in sight. She can sit up independently and is working on the army scoot. It looks like her wave is emerging too! We love this little girl and have so much fun with her. The perfect addition to our family!!

Happy half birthday little lady. Now please stop growing up so fast!!

Lake Mead

We took a trip to Lake Mead with my family and the Millers a couple weeks ago. We stayed in a funky town called Meadview. The kids had so much fun! It has been a couple years since the boys have been and this was Sienna first trip. Gavin loved swimming and playing on the sandy beach. Lincoln loved driving and riding in the boat. Sienna loved being in the water too!
