Cienna - 5 Years, 1 Month... Kaylee - 2 Years, 8 Months!

So Cienna turned FIVE... that happened!  Shortly after the beginning of the Natal visit we had Cienna's 5th birthday party which ended in time to watch the 49ers make it to the Super Bowl.  On her Birthday we all took the day off of work and went to Disneyland thanks again to the Natal's visit, celebrating both Cienna and June's soon to be 3rd Birthday!  That was the girls first trip there and I'd say they had just a wee bit of a good time.  This was just the beginning of the Birthday parties in our future.  We snuck in a mellow trip to the zoo with the Geithmans before another Birthday weekend for both Grace and Jocelyn's parties.  The next weekend, despite the 49ers best effort we still had the perfect time routing them on with a small group of fellow fans!  We'll be back next year.  Moving on we had a magnificent family day at the Great Park with the girls first tethered Hot Air Balloon Ride, and more fun at the carousel, Farmer's Market, and Food and Farm exhibit.  More family time was spent at the zoo with Daddy's second time, unfortunately he still has yet to go on the train as it was closed for maintenance.

Mommy got to spend half a day with Kaylee on their own with daycare/mommy taking an extra day off and Mommy and Daddy got to split the next Presidents day "holiday" spending half/half time with the girls!  This is the time of our lives!

Cienna's creativity is accelerating faster than we can help her (observance is a current, and I'm sure a continuing, strong trait)  She is accelerating in sight words and as always loves to read.... both by memory/sounding out and now recognizing the words.  She had another "Celebration of life" at Pre-school.  She is now an older student who is very helpful with the younger friends!  It is unbelievable that we are doing Kindergarten tours starting next week.

When she is not joking, Kaylee knows pretty much all her colors, and has quite a few letters stored in her knowledge bank.  Her motor skills have advanced quite a bit and when we ask her to draw a shape she will do it..... if she wants to : ).  She has been weeks without diapers at nap time and most bedtime diapers are dry.  Most of all she has made us all laugh every day with her creativity!

I know many of you have been through these years, some of you may not have,..... they are amazing!

ENJOY!

Cienna - 18 Years 7 Months Old! ... Kaylee - 16 Years 2 Months Old!

Had the cool crew over for world cup to start off the month. Big work week for mom but enjoyed having Oakley to play with us and Roaklee : )...
