Sienna

My sister likes to dress my kids up...
she put her clothes on Sienna...she looked like ET
Asleep in her high chair

She loves to take a tub....

Kisses........
All I could do was grab the camera so I didn't get mad.....


Sienna makes me laugh everyday. I am so grateful for her. She brings so much to our family.
My sister Rachel says she is my BFF (Sienna) she really is.
I love this age and this time I get to have with her. I don't want her to grow up!
The other day I went in her room and she had decided to line all her animals/dolls up...I thought it was funny.....she is just a really fun little personality.
She loves her dad and her brothers. She has a special bond with Cooper. He is very very sweet and patient with her. Sometimes she will only go to him.
She also loves her Aunt Rachel. She cries every time Rachel has to leave....I mean she really cries. It is sad. Rachel has a special relationship with all of my kids. I am also grateful for her.

Hunter is a TEENAGER!! September 12th, 2007

Hunter's 13th Birthday Party


Hunter turned 13! Do I really have a child this old? He is now getting taller than me.
(I know....that isn't hard to do...)
So Hunter wants to have a sleep over. Did I forget the lack of sleep I got with Cooper's?
I guess I think well they are older....I don't care if they stay up all night.
So I think this is the last sleep over we will have for a while. (I know I said that with Cooper but this time I really mean it)
You know it wouldn't be so bad if they just stayed in the basement and watched movies or played games but no they were running all around the house all night long.
They woke up Sienna, they were going out on the trampoline at 4:00 AM...I am sure my neighbors loved that one. Two of them kept running around going doorbell ditching....oh my!
For days after the sleep over I couldn't find my Costco size peanut butter....none of the boys could find it.
I didn't think to look in the down stairs shower for it!!!! Don't even ask!

The Beach....

The Outer Banks...North Carolina
Jackson
Sienna and Conwey



Sienna took her nap everyday at the beach...
Can you tell she has three brothers.....

She can't get to the water fast enough!
Dancing to her favorite song....beautiful girls.....
Football on the beach......
Cooper getting instructions on the next play..
Twins aren't they........
Jackson

Sienna....


Hunter.....

Coop and Sienna....

Okay these are going in a backwards order but oh well....
In August we went to the beach. My favorite place on earth.
It was our first trip to the beach with just our family. Our first vacation anywhere with out one of my sisters...we usually go to the beach with Conwey's family or our friends.
It was a good bonding time for our family this year.....hopefully the boys will have good memories of the fun we had as a family and not think...man it was a lot more fun when all our cousins are here with us.
I think it is good to have both kinds of vacations!
We almost didn't go this summer and I am so glad we did. It was so fun to watch Sienna and see her eyes light up when she would see the ocean. She spent countless hours looking for seashells. She couldn't run into the ocean fast enough everyday.
The boys were all really cute with her too. They would make her little sand pools everyday.
It was a great trip.

Cooper's 10th Birthday- August 1, 2007

Cooper wanted a sleepover party for his Birthday......what was I thinking when I said yes?
He had about 12 boys over for his party. Pizza, football, movies....well the pizza and football went over well. When it came time to calm down and watch a movie at 11:00 pm well lets just say it didn't go to well....they didn't go to sleep all night long. I think I went down 20 times to turn off the lights and quiet them down.....the second I walked upstairs the lights went on and the games began. The basement looked like a tornado had hit.
Morning couldn't come soon enough!
When their parents got there in the morning we couldn't get some of them to wake up...
I guess that is the fun of a sleep over though. I just didn't realize it would take me three days to recover!

Recap

Hunter at Divisionals........

A Saturday Morning Meet at TRC
See we really do sleep there!


They have some serious team spirit!


Okay I am going to do a little recap of our summer and early fall since I just started the blog. Mostly for me to be able to remember and have the memories.
Swim Team....
All three boys swim on the swim team. It is our life in the summer. Our second home, second family....we have decided to stay at Tuckahoe even though we have three great pools right here in my neighborhood. All of my friends here in Ashburn think I am crazy to drive 20 minutes everyday down there...hey I am not alone in my craziness....Kory Brown goes down to Tuckahoe everyday too. You would think we could get on a good car pooling schedule...
We love Tuckahoe though what can I say. The boys have their friends (me too) and cousins. I am on the Board of Directors there. We will stay forever......
