A visit with Auntie...

">

Lairen came to visit us last weekend and the kids had so much fun with her. She was a ton of help to me too. My favorite part was at night when the kids were in bed and we got to talk and watch old movies, and SNL of course. Dad also stopped by earlier in the week and came over and saw us.

Livin'

Im lovin'n my time with my little girls!! Its so cute to see Tori w/o her brother and sister here. Her little personality cracks me up! Sydney and Steven are doing well with school and adjusting well....thank goodness! Reese is now 5 months.....man its going by too fast.....I think I will have another...hahaha jk! :(

Back to School, Back to School......

Sydney started school on August 18th. Mom and Dad happened to be here for business so Syndey was extra excited to have Grandpa and I take her to her first day of 1st grade. This is her first time going full days and has 2 teachers (morning & afternoon). Steven had his orientation on this day too for an hour. He was really excited to go to kindergarten, but he wouldnt start until today. He is going to go full days, Mon. Wed. and every other Friday (a little nervous for him to be gone so long, but I make sure Im super positive about it). So I dropped them off with their lunches packed up and ready for school today with no Steve since he had to fly to Seattle for training for one day. It is really nice having Sydney there with him and to help him and not be scared. I have to admit its going to be sooo nice having them both at school for full days, not excited about all the nasty stuff they are going to be introduced to though. Sydney is a little too observant and it FREAKS me OUT what she tells me!! Its going to be great just the little girls and me....wow! Im might even get a nap.......well we'll see what Tori has planned..

Steve and My Birthdays

For Steve's Bday we took him to the park. He had a blast! On the merry-go-round & teeter toter and swings! LOL! Well the kids had fun too. They always have to go to "Gook"(Goot)park went we go to the grandparents. We had dinner at Steves moms and got to see his bro and sister. Afterwards he played a little one on one with his bro and new B-ROYS!

For My Bday we went to lunch at Red Robin of course. Then Steve took me downtown Vancouver to this new Cupcake Store called Treats. They had some really good cupcakes. Lately, Ive been having fun watching Cupcake Wars. Then katie and the kids came over for cake and ice cream.

Also on my Bday we got to Skype Leif and Rachel and see their cute sweet little babies!!!!! I was sooo excited to see them! They are beautiful! It was fun to talk to Leif and Rachel too!

My Birthday gift from Steve was this necklace I really wanted with all the kids names on it. Now I just need to get one more charm with his name >

Beach Bums/ Stevens Bday

So we took off to the beach with mom and dad. We had a great time. We did a LOT of swimming and playing. We went on the beach, went for walks, worked out (well Steve did....lol), went on go karts(which Steven didnt want to so Steve and I ended up taking the girls), got candy, and went on rides.

We stayed at the Worldmark resort. It was so nice!

Grandma watched Reese a lot so I could go swimming with Steve and the kids.
Steve took Tori to go see the whale bones.


Long Beach, Wa

Steven had fun digging.

Grandma and Grandpa helped out a ton with the kids. It was so nice!!

We left the beach on Wednesday (Stevens birthday) but before we left Grandpa took him and the kids out to go on some rides before we left.

We celebrated his Bday more at mom and dads later on with the rest of the family.
