Family dinner!



My little darlings before church!



My brother and my Dad.


She loves to play with Caleb.

Love family dinners!
Sunday was a fabulous day! We had a great morning at church. Paili helped me in the 2's and 3's class. She said she liked helping in Sky's age group more. I don't blame her. I do too! I think probably just because of Sky though. We had family dinner on Sunday afternoon. Lee, Jenny, and her 3 came and ate too. Mom made a fantastic dinner. It was so good. Thanks Mom!

Saturday was sweet Evolets first birthday! I can't believe she's 1 already! We had so much fun enjoying her first birthday party. I hated that we weren't able to stay for the whole evening but we had planned to go to the Garmans. Paola and I are getting better at communicating. She's only been in the US for just over a year and has made tremendous improvements in learning English. We still use a lot of gestures to communicate but it works for us. I've watched Junior grow up into such a wonderful Daddy and husband. I'm proud of them for working so hard on their marriage. Nobody ever said marriage was easy!

The girls put her in the play cradle. 
                                                                 Out! Video.

She said Maddy for the 1st time!

Auntie Erin is crazy about this girl.

Good job Auntie Erin!

I love this!
I'll be honest, I'm so behind on this. I can't remember what all fitness I did. But, I did it. Lets be real. You're not here to read anyway...you're here to see my gorgeous girls. My girls are precious. I love them. I love their Daddy. I'm one blessed chick.

Lego's, bike tricks, and Finding Nemo!

These 2 are so sweet!

                                                 Paili dancing like Stevie Wonder. Video.

Monday was a holiday so we all got to be home. Paili woke up and pretty much the first thing she said was, "Can I go play with Payton?" I told her we'd wait a little bit and then ask. We watched The Lorax and ate breakfast. (Yes, we watch it all the time!) Kellie texted about them bringing the treadmill over around 12. I told her that would be great and asked if Payton was ready to play. She said he'd be doing about the same thing as Pai since first thing that morning. Payton and Paili played all day. We got a surprise visit from Erin and the kids. I love surprise visits!! We had a really great day full of fun times with friends. I love days like this. Again I will say...I am so thankful for the people that are in our lives. I really do love my life.

Beautiful Sunday

Hannah--driving the Barbie car.
Buddies!
Pretty girl.
Hannah hanging out in the stroller.
Precious girls playing.
Seriously funny little dude.
Love this girl! Thankful for her presence in my life.
Sky loves to jump up in Sissy's bed and try to go to sleep.
Sweet babies.
The girls and I got up and went to church. Paili went with me to help in the little kids area. We ended up in Skylar's age group, but not in her class. Needless to say, when she saw us, she had to be moved in our room. Paili had so much fun playing with the kids. I know they were loving it too. For the next service, I took Paili down to her classroom and I went to hear the sermon.

Daren and Damon delivered my treadmill. It fits perfectly behind the couch! It will be so awesome in the winter!

Our sweet neighbors came over that evening for dinner. Justin made ribs and sides,  Kellie made some sides, and I even made dessert. It was a fantastic dinner. The kids were having a blast. I feel like the most blessed girl on the planet to have such amazing neighbors. It's so nice to know you have people so close that have your back. The kids were not done playing when it was time to go and they decided they HAD to play the next day too. Thankfully neither of us had anything going so they were excited.
