11 years (and such)

The kids had a sleepover...I made s'more clusters, one of their favorite desserts. I love how simple they are to make.
The girls: Lexi, Ari and Sasha. These 2 are so funny with their accessories and imaginations.


The boys: Jackson and Kyler. These 2 share all the same interests-Legos, video games and Nerf gun battles. Boys, haha!



As the kids jumped on the trampoline, Ari watched from our window, knocking to get their attention.




A friend of mine started making hair flower clips and headbands. SO cute! Thanks Melissa!



Checking out her pretty flower.


A trip to the coast:

The kids caught so many of these crabs, it was unreal!



Loving her sister.

Zed







She loves putting things on her head-glasses, headbands, hats, etc.








Helping build a sandcastle.




Sleeping on daddy.

It seems the tooth fairy is always visiting our house. Kyler lost another tooth.


For our anniversary weekend, we went to the coast and stayed at a nice hotel. Kids in tow.

The kids loved the jacuzzi.

Ari trying to see what's going on.

The view from our balcony.





Blowing kisses











After a day spent on the beach, in the jacuzzi and at the park, it was nice to have the kids unwind by a fire, with a snack and a movie.



The park view. (Kyler had sand in his eyes)







An early morning walk on the beach.



Our hotel

There were a lot of jellyfish washed up.










11 years!!







A seal passing us by.



Writing on washed up wood.


We have once again been super busy...

Kyler began soccer practice twice a week, which he LOVES. His team is called the Kickerz.

Lexi is registered for dance which starts soon. She turns 7 on Monday.

School begins in a week.

Arilyn has been talking up a storm, saying so many new words it seems daily. She tickles and says "tickle tickle", does itsy bitsy spider with her hands, as well as patty cake. Her 8th tooth broke through recently, 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. She is able to walk, when she wants.

fun times

Our baby girl is now 10 months old! Lexi decided to have a fashion show with their new school clothes. She posed herself, every time. She loved it!







































Kyler was not as enthusiastic as Lexi was, to say the least. But he was a good sport and went along with us.














Playing at the park with her friend Sasha.






Arilyn and I met up with a few friends and their October babies in Salem. We had a great time!

Melissa and Tayla (by the way it was Melissa's birthday!)


Sweet Pea

Ari loved this rocker.

Such adorable, sweet girls!










Peyton, the escape artist, broke through the stroller barricade every time!
