Layla – 6 Months Old

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Lindsey

Guess what happened while we were in Hawaii?! — Layla turned six months old! So after we got home and unpacked, I whipped out the camera for a quick photo shoot. She was a little tired at the time and I was feeling the holiday rush, but we managed to get some cute shots. Here’s our cutie-patootie.

At six months old Layla has found her voice… and it is LOUD. She is still pretty go-with-the-flow, although she has no problem letting you know what she wants. She loves talking to people and ADORES her big brothers.

Maui 2016

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Lindsey

Wow, we have a ton of fun pictures from our recent trip to Hawaii. I am well aware that I am posting way too many, but I just don’t have the time or cut throat attitude to cull (or even organize) these anymore than I already have. Obviously we had a great time. We were in Hawaii. In December. With a bunch of little kids. We kept it simple and mainly stuck to the pool and the beach. We exhausted the littles each day so they slept deeply at night. We ate a lot of donut holes, sandwiches & fish tacos. We did have one (successful) fancy dinner at Roy’s. So without further ado, here’s what we were up to on our vacation:

My entourage

At the first hotel

We overlapped one day with our friends/neighbors. Here is Avery & Hamza together on Maui.

Silas loved his tatoo!

I don’t know why, but I love her expression here.

Baby piggies

These boys devour Hula Pie like a pack of hungry wolves!

While his friends made snow angels at home…

Kieron loved the waves. I imagine him saying “come and get me!” here.

We love snow cones!

Hide-and-seek

My pokemon!

A little morning reading

Learning how to crack a coconut

We nick-named this bird Captain Ahab (notice his peg leg). He was a regular at the kiddie pool.

“Wow, that was a great trip! Time to catch up on our homework before we get back!”

Thanksgiving 2016

Posted on January 4, 2017 by Lindsey

We had a fun Thanksgiving in Pullman this year. Grammy & Papa spent the majority of Turkey Days in Texas alone, but now that they’re living in Washington again, we all got to be together. Here are all six of the cousins together for the first time:

Layla – Five Months Old

Layla turned five months old in November. I love the how her photos turned out! She is so cute and expressive. As you will see I had a hard time culling the photos!

Bathing beauty loves the tub!

November

Posted on December 21, 2016 by Lindsey

November was another busy month, and on top of that my computer broke. It took us a while to sort everything out and eventually replace it, so I blame being almost two months behind on blogging on this. Expect a flurry of posts in the coming days. Here’s some of what we were up to leading up to Thanksgiving:

These two sweethearts have been joining me at night when I put Layla to bed. They sing songs with me and are becoming quite familiar with The Sound of Music soundtrack! I’m in heaven!
