Happy 4th

We had a fun evening in Ladera to see the amazing fire works show there! So fun. We have come every year since we moved from Ladera 4 years ago. Its too good to miss out. We hung out on the grass with our blankets and chairs while the kids ran around and danced to music until it was dark enough to start the fire works. The boys loved laying on the blankets looking up at the huge, booming fire works. Gwen feel asleep, but she would have loved them. We had a fun evening celebrating our country. Happy 4th!

Sawyer & Izzy:

Oh my gosh, Sawyer had the biggest obbession with Izzy the whole weekend! He had to be with Izzy every second, and if he wasn't he was asking where she was so he could run and be with her. She was such a good sport about having her little 2 year old cousin want to be by her side every second. He said to Jono & I, "I like Izzy's face"! Meaning he thinks she is pretty. (: Pretty cute.

So happy to be with Izzy(Isabel)

Family Fun

A couple Sundays ago, we went to Mema & Papa's place in Dana Point and had sunday dinner and then went down to the sidewalk over looking the beach. The kids had fun playing on the grass and of course eating yummy pie and ice cream! We had a fun evening with our family!

Precious

Can you say gorgeous, precious, sweet, adorable?! Natalie is just too cute for words! These were too cute to not post. My sister took Natalie to get her pics taken by her friend Judy. She did an amazing job at capturing sweet little Natalie!

Meeting baby Natalie!

My little niece Natalie Marie Miller made her debut on June 16th at 12:13pm.

She weighed 7lbs 15oz. Gwen and I were able to make the drive up to see little Natalie! Oh my, she is one cute little thing. I loved holding her and getting my fix of a tiny little baby. It is so fun that my sister now has a little girl. I passed down all of Gwen's clothes and accessories to her, it has been so fun to see Natalie wearing them, and just seeing my sister getting into the girly things after having two boys. Yes, we both have two boys and a girl, and they are all pretty much the same age. Its so fun! Gwen now has a girl cousin (on my side) to play with. Gwen loved Natalie! We miss her and can't wait to see her again!

Natalie Marie Miller!

Movie Night

Carter.Ella.Sawyer: Movie Night

Ella.Carter.Sawyer: wanted to pose in front of the movie

Ella: Carter took this pic.

Sawyer: The kids got a hold of the camera

Carter wanted Shark Boy hair: Ella took this

of course you have to have a pic of the popcorn.(:

Carter and Sawyer got to have their friend Ella come over for dinner and a movie night. They had so much fun eating popcorn, and otter pops while watching The Squequal: Alvin and the Chipmunks. I loved watching them have fun together all snuggled up watching the movie. Reminds me of being a kid.

Gwen Lately~15 mon.

Gwen trying to brush her teeth, but didnt quit make in her mouth

being so serious about what she is doing

Gettin' some toothpaste

cute Gwen

screaming cause she's happy

Gwen loves to go in the kids bathroom, open up the stool (where the kids keep their tooth brush and tooth paste), sit down on the stool and act like she is putting tooth paste on the tooth brush. She is obsessed with doing this. If she has run off somewhere, I know to look in the bathroom, and find her sitting there like this (above) quietly "brushing her teeth". Pretty cute!

Gwen is such a sweetie mixed with a little spunk.

She knows exactly what she wants, and screams at the top of her lungs to let you know what she wants while pointing her finger.

She loves her brothers and loves to play with them, but not afraid to fight back when in need

She is hilarious, and knows how to be cute, funny, coy at the right times.

She loves her pink soft blankie

Sucks her thumb while holding her blankie up to her nose and sniffs it breathing really loud. (Sawyer does the same thing- their blankies must smell good to them)

Still holds on to my hair when Im holding her.

Now goes up to our dog and holds her tail while sucking her thumb

Twirls her own hair while sucking her thumb if she doesnt have my hair in hand.

loves doing wheels on the bus, and itzy bitzy spider. You never know when she is going to break out with her hand motions, and wants you to sing along

Gives sweetest Kisses

So friendly with other people, waves and says hi to everyone in the store

Finally got ear tubes about a month ago, and has done wonders for her. She is sleeping through the night again, now that she doesnt have to deal with those horrible ear infections!! Yeah!

Always wakes up with a bug smile, and ready to go have some fun

loves her babies/her white bear
