Cienna - 3 Years, 8 Months... Kaylee - 1 Year, 3 Months!

This month was started by preparing for a road trip.  We headed up to SR for a very full long weekend.  At the Marty's we got a full day of fun hangin' with Nana, Poppa, The Marty Family, and even Cousin Erik came from Michigan to play!  We then all headed out to Nana and Poppa's house for fun in the sun where we were joined by the Payne's and Whalen's!  It was great to see everybody again and to meet Charley.  We got to stop by and see the amazing progress at the Melita McFarland house!  That afternoon mommy went to a beautiful bridal shower to begin celebrating Vera and Toby.  While at the shower the girls already continued the party at Grammy's and Grandpa's with a visit from The Natal's (soon to be family of 4) and the "newer" McFarlands (soon to be family of 3).  The girls and Porter were fantastic travelers!

Once we were home for the rest of the month we had many outings including the beach, parks, and trips to the Santa Ana Zoo (which we are now proud members).  While Daddy flew back up north we went to a Kalina's, and then Janice's Birthday Parties.  We ended last month with the first birthday of Haiden Snow including a visit from Uncle Joe!

Cienna decided that Pinatas are a good time and they have helped with her baseball skills as well!  She is really starting to throw and catch pretty well.  She has gotten even more control and confidence over her movements, attempting and succeeding large climbing rocks and her monkey bars with just a light spot!  She still enjoys clothes and fashion and has convinced Daddy to do pony tails in the morning for school (french braids are next).  Grandma Judes continues to help with this fun!  She loves to draw the whole family, including Porter, along with butterflies and flowers of course.

Kaylee's personality has been a main source of entertainment around here.  Her expressions and crazy antics are abundant!  You will find her climbing on, over, in, and under anything she finds suitable.  Simply walking was just the beginning, now she must challenge herself even as far as making herself dizzy by spinning in circles just to see if she can stay on her feet.  Some of the bigger slides at the park are now in her tool belt as well.  She now says "plzz" to go along with her "tank u", and is getting more interested in books that have pictures of the words she knows!

Dance parties are still a regular event at our house.  The girls (Cienna) are really enjoying that there are more activities that they can do together including playing with Porter who is really been a great addition to the family.  The girls now feed Porter together as one of there "chores".

Till next month... Enjoy the Pictures by clicking the Photo below!
