Kiddos

This one's for Auntie Amy...we love the "The Ryde" shirts!

Potty training in the great outdoors!

Elias enjoying the backyard in his hand-me-down Bumbo seat.
Poor boy...he has lots of pink items...I'm into recycling.
No worries though...no hand-me-down clothing from big sis...that's where I draw the line.

Noey loves her dolls.

Noelle loves playing with Elias.

He's a happy boy.

Just a Taste

We have been busy little bees this summer. Sorry I have gotten behind on the blog. I am going to try to catch up, but for now...here is just a taste of what we have been up to.

Our 5 year Anniversary.

Our first House!!
Praise the Lord!!!
Which means...lots of housework.

Fun trip to Sac for Mother's Day.

Trying to potty train...key word..TRYING!

Yosemite with the Bradley & Allen Families...super fun...and beautiful.

Lauren's College Graduation at UCSD

Our little fireman. (3 months)

Trip to Adam's firehouse.
Auntie Nan & Cousin Tyler came down for a visit.
Adam gave us a ride in the fire engine, and the kids got to play in and around all of the fire equipment. Daddy has a fun job.

Fun with Photo Booth

Happy 2nd Bithday Noelle!

We celebrated Noelle's Birthday both on her birthday (Friday, the 9th) as well as Saturday because Adam was working on her actual birthday. I tried to make it a fun day for her.

Happy Birthday...

DAY 1

Favorite breakfast...French toast with butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar.

Ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Yum-ee

Opening presents with Grammie and Bompa via Skype. They also sang her "Happy Birthday" and had a cake with candles for her to blow out. She loved it.

She loves to "go-go" (go fast). Our new fun outing is roller blading with the stroller. She loves it, Izzy loves it, and Elias enjoys taking his nap in motion.

DAY 2Donut for breakfast!!!

She loves playing peek-a-boo.

Blowing out the candles.

She loved opening presents.

Pretty shoes & dress from Auntie Nan & Uncle Dave.

Party People

Just an extra cute picture of Noelle at Mimi's house.
One of her favorite activites is playing with water in the sink.
