Finishing projects...

Now that Lucy is starting to entertain herself a little more, I have been trying to catch up on some unfinished projects. This is a Transformers scrub shirt I made for Spencer a few years ago!!!, but just hadn't hemmed the sleeves and the bottom. So quick and easy, and so silly to not have finished. But now it's done, just in time for him to start working once a week on his off weeks in the ICU at the hospital here. He's trying to keep up on his hospital skills.

I got an awesome new camera for our anniversary, but the small pictures still show up as fuzzy on here. Anyone know why? If you click on the pictures, they show up crisp. Weird!

Sienna's Soccer game

Sienna is also playing soccer this year, probably for the last time. She just doesn't enjoy it enough and it's not where her talents lie, which is completely fine. As long as she gets out there and tries her best is all we care about. We are so proud of her and her effort.

Aidan's 1st soccer game

Aidan is playing soccer for the first time this year. He's actually doing very well. He's out there, running hard, chasing down the ball. He's actually a pretty good goalie too, (just like his Daddy!). He runs right up there and snatches up the ball. I love seeing my children have these opportunities that I didn't have as a child, especially when they end up loving it.

The Awesome Eagles

Trying to ride a bike...

Poor Aidan. He is such a sweet, tender-hearted child, but he is also very scared of new things. One fear is riding a bike. He has been trying to learn for a couple of years now, off and on, and is still struggling. Spencer has gotten out there with him for hours at a time and he's still just so scared. The sad thing is, he can do it; Spence has let go and he'll be fine until he realizes Spence isn't holding him up and he will literally lift his legs, and try to turn and grab at him. Someday...

Now Madelyn is doing very well on her little bike. She is great at peddling with her short little legs, churning as fast as they can. I so love these little people and all the individual things that make them who they are!

Lucy's Toes

One of the very first things I noticed about Lucy when she was born was she got her Daddy's toes. They are  very long. It's fun to see how she is using them right now as she is almost crawling, and how she pushes off of those long, strong toes and uses them to help her get around. I love seeing these amazing little people as they grow and develop right in front of my eyes. It is such a miracle and I am so blessed to have the privilege of watching them.

Hat Baby

My dear friend, Joan, sent Lucy this hat from China and we love it. Isn't she a cutie! Thank you Joan! We miss you!

Lucy's funny attempt at crawling!

Sienna turned 12!

I cannot believe my little baby girl has turned 12! Where has the time gone? Sienna was able to have her 4 closest friends over for a sleep-over. I gave them mini pedicures, they watched 'The Man Who Knew Too Little', ate Sienna's favorite; pineapple upside-down cake, and had a blast! I know she had a great time and we are so glad she did. We are so lucky to be your parents, Si, and we love you so very much!

Sweet Luce

Lucy started sitting up in early July. 

And, she looks so sweet when she sleeps. Love that cute bum! It kills me!

Playing at Poipu

We went to Poipu with our friend, Taylor, and her children. It ended up being a little cloudy and sprinkling there, but that doesn't phase us! Mad wouldn't even come out of the rain and sit under the umbrella while the rain passed. Our children love playing in the sand and making sand castles.
