Gingerbread House

We got a Gingerbread kit from Tyler's Union Hall at their Christmas Party.

Tyler and the kids had SO much fun putting it together.
I think we will make this a tradition.

And it was Super Yummy!

I couldn't help but post this picture of Sirena in Alaina's first Christmas dress.

She and Alaina couldn't look more alike...it's CrAzY!

We hope you have a great Christmas and a Super Happy New YEAR!

We LOVE YOU!!!

Tonsils, Pink Eye & First Tooth

The only healthy, happy one! ALAINA KAY!

She was playing around in my Down Comforter.

She was fluffing it up and then falling in it...it looked like FUN!

Milloy waiting at the front window for Dad to come home from a meeting.

He had all his "Friends" waiting and watching for Dad.

Here is Milloy when we got home from his surgery.

He is still high on Demerol.

His new "friend" is his Beaver. His name is...

BEAVER! When Milloy would get Croup, he would tell us there was a beaver in his throat. So that is how we explained to him that he needed to have his tonsils out. (It was Tyler's Idea) We said..."The Dr said we needed to take the Beaver out. And then it won't hurt you anymore."

Tyler went online and ordered a stuffed beaver and we gave it to him after he

woke up from the surgery. He and Beaver have been inseparable since.

He even showed it to Alaina's Bus Driver this morning!

This is the result of having a child in Kindergarten and another in Preschool. They bring home FUN stuff for you! Ahhh....I just LOVE these Priceless Gifts!

And then there is Tickie! That's one of her nicknames. Because she is SO Tickle-ish!

Sirena is getting her first tooth! WTH(eck!) Alaina and Milloy were 9 months old when they got theirs....this little monkey is only 6 months! WHY IS SHE DOING THINGS SO EARLY???

Do you like how I let her chew on the Tylenol Bottle? I'm such a great Mother!

Milloy's Field Trip

Milloy's Preschool took a Field Trip to the LA ZOO.

This is his class...yep there is 25 kids in his class...Mrs Martin and her aide are saints!

Mom, Sirena and Milloy on the field trip.

Milloy and his best bud, Ian. What these two don't know is that they were

born only 14 hours apart from each other.
Ian is the older one!

Milloy was the first one to the Zebra's. They are his Fav's!

Mine too!

Baby Food & Bumbo Heads

Sirena got to have her first baby food.

Sirena says..."You lookin' at me?"
Yummy Squash!



Do you like it all over her eye?

Bumbo Boy!

Bumbo Girl!

They look like helmets.

Guppies Halloween

We went with "The Little Mermaid" theme this year.

Alaina is Arial, Milloy is Prince Eric, and Sirena was one of the Frogs

in the "Kiss the Girl" song that goes..."Sha-la-la-la".

For the Preschool party Milloy was Buzz because

Prince Eric just isn't right without Arial.

Alaina has been DYING to be Arial for a LONG time! I just couldn't find a costume that was modest enough to do it. Then we had her dance recital and this was her costume for the tap routine. I had to add the bottom part to the leotard so that it would work as Arial.

She won the "Best Character Costume" at her school.

The next day was a baby blessing for my nephew, Jason Meyring.

(He is Chad & Cathy's baby)

We had SO much fun getting to see our family in Camarillo.

Can you tell?

OK...which one is Alaina and which one is Sirena? and why?

Milloy's Workout

No words needed. This is what happens when we work out.

Before you know it, Sirena will be doing the same.

Busy Week

Alaina all dressed up for the Fall Fashion Show at Nordstroms.

Handsome Pants! He was actually excited to be in the show.

I LOVE my kids!

Alaina, Milloy & Karissa at the fashion show.

The announcer had issues with how to pronounce Milloy...she called him
Mylow....????????????

Addison talking to Sirena.

I think they will be good friends when they are older.

Sassy Sissa! That's my girl!

Our visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.

This Sea Lion was positioning itself on a rock to go upside down and wave to the kids.

It was SO cute. He would look at the kids nose to nose.

Sushi Alaina!

Black Tip Shark

These crabs were about as big as my kids!!!

I saw them and said....UMmmmm!

The very friendly Sea Lion again!

Group of Guppies

The Rays

Of course Tyler, Alaina & Milloy LOVED touching the rays and leopard sharks.

The kids wanted a picture in front of this fountain. We ate at Bubba Gump's that was on the other side of the street from the Aquarium. It was good eatin'!

We had a great day even though Alaina was home sick from school. At least she had fun and we all got to spend time together and go to the Temple. The kids brought home snails from Dama & Papa's house. They died already. I guess the desert is like salt for them. ; )

Above-

Sirena's first roll over...and she will be 16 weeks old tomorrow. When I was preggers with her, Tyler said she was going to be our child that did things before the norm. and before the other two. Well, as usual, he is RIGHT!

Below- One of the Sea Lions playing with a Rock...quite entertaining.
