Pootsie photoshoot

Sidney & Nora had a photoshoot at Dana's house for her new clothing line.

The following demonstrates how hard it is to capture a 15 month & 11 month old on camera.

(smiling & sitting nicely - MY REAR) lol

could have been cute - but it's blurry.

 ESCAPEES!

 always on the go

And our little princess.



Napper take 2

Lets not forget this day, when Prestyn fell asleep half way on the couch.

Doesn't look too comfy huh?

But George & Horsey look comfy. LOL

THIS BOY:

he's been fighting naptime.

He's between that stage of NEEDING a nap & ready for no nap.

But the days he doesn't take a nap he MELTS DOWN at like 5pm.

This is how I found him the other night!

Fishin'

We went out fishing with some friends the other night.

Had a picnic dinner & just hung out.

It was so wonderful to just relax & hang with friends.

The kids had a ball.

Cayden likes to pose for pictures & this was his choice.

Sidney did NOT want to pose for a picture so I made her sit on a rock so she couldn't escape the camera.

Daddy was showing Sidney a worm.

Lets just say the worm ended up in more than 1 piece after being rolled between her fingers & walked around with for awhile. 

She thought it was great!

Wondering if she should eat it?

These 3 goofballs thought it was fun to climb the rocks & jump off.

Silly boys.

Our little cuties!

Just sharing a cute picture of the kids from Sunday!

Cayden is in KINDERGARTEN!!

THIS sweet "baby" of mine.....

Just went to his very FIRST day of KINDERGARTEN!!!

He was so excited this morning, especially when he got "smiley" pancakes.

He was really excited for his Transformers t-shirt & backpack.

He humored me for all the "first day" pictures.

He chatted with is teacher - Mrs. Montoya, and even posed with her for a picture.

It just blows my mind how quickly these little people are growing & changing.

We left after he gave Sidney & Prestyn each a hug.

Then he gave me an extra hug & a kiss and told me he loved me. 

Awe...such a sweetie.

Papa & Grammie and Papa & Nana THIS is for you, per Cayden's request.

He wanted me to "blog it" so you could all see.

Pirate Party for Prestyn's 3rd Birthday

Our little man turned 3, and to celebrate we had a pirate birthday party.

It's hard to believe that THIS little boy is now 3 years old.

He LOVED his pirate cake, and his pirate cookies on a stick & treasure map cookies.

All courtesy of Sugar Mamas!

All the kids got to "walk the plank"

 Pin the patch on the pirate

 And of course eat YUMMY cake & cookies.

 Mr. Pirate himself.

 Pirate cookie bouquet

 Goodie bags for all the kids. 

They included pirate stickers, pirate tatoos, a telescope, gold coins, eye patch, earring, and a compass. 

 Treasure Map cookies

 Kael, Cayden and Prestyn

 Charlie got ahold of my camera.

 he's a goober (and I LOVE YOU CHARLIE - I know you mom will show you this...and all your girlfriends too) LOL

All the kids (minus the "big boys" and a baby)

 CAKE TIME...he was a little shy when it came time to sing Happy Birthday to him.

 and he LOVED getting to blow out his candle.  He'd been asking to eat the cake all day.

 Sidney decided she needed to polish off all the leftover cake.

 And my little pirate...well, he's got a style all his own.

 Sidney is now climbing on EVERYTHING.

 And she LOVES her big cousin Charlie.  :)

 The "littles" sitting at the big table.

 and the "big" kids.  (afraid of a wasp as I snapped this picture - teehee)
