Getting a picture of all 4 cousins is nearly impossible, this is as good as I could get.


Brother and Sister

Zoë giving her baby brother a kiss.. not sure why she's kissing his eye though.

Mall's Play Area

Lee and I took the kids to this free mall play area today. They had lots of fun, just wish the kids could play a little longer, it's way too structured and only allows them to come play for 30 minutes a day. They have a different section for older kids which I think is a great idea.

Jesse and Jenn are officially married!

It has been a long time coming as Lee's brother was engaged to Jenn before we were engaged. They got married on Saturday and now the festivities are officially over.

We had Lee's extended family and the groomsmen over for dinner before the wedding as it was an appetizer wedding and most of the family was from out of town. We just did a bunch of frozen lasagnas, garlic bread and chicken caesar salad. I didn't get pictures of all the family members that came to our house for dinner, but was able to get this picture of Lee and Jesse with Grandma Stanford on the right and Great Aunt Jessie on the left.

Zoë's New Bike

Pampa and Grandma Sefcik brought Jayden and Zoë to Toys R Us and treated them to a new bike. Zoë had a tricycle before hand so she knows how to use the bicycle, just needs some practice once the weather decides to get nice.

It is crazy to see her on a big bike, time flies. She is now fully potty trained except for at night time, we're slowly working on that. It is nice we just have one kid in diapers now.

Zoë is now really getting into pretend play, she loves to have tea parties and take her bunny Flopsy to the park around the house in her play stroller.

She also loves going on play dates with family that come pick her up once in awhile. It is nice for her to get closer to other family members and Dreyton can have one on one time with me as well.

Dreyton, almost 16 months old

Dreyton is such a toddler and growing up SO quickly. His vocabulary is growing quick, some of his most common words are mama, dada, ooee (Zoë), juice, cheese, ball, bath, shoes, eat, book, uh sairs(upstairs), and dank you (thank you). He can point to body parts on his face if you ask them where they are, as well as lots of animal sounds.

Trying on Pampa's shoes, quite funny seeing him try to walk in those big shoes


His red-headed temper, has a COMPLETE meltdown if anybody says NO to him, shakes his whole body and fists in his tantrum.


We went to fish creek park today, just after he threw up all over Arby's (glad it wasn't in my vehicle).

This was taken the other day in Costco, it is such a RARE occurance for him to sleep while we're out.

Stanford Easter Hunt

We had a Easter egg hunt just before our Turkey dinner at the Stanfords today.

Dreyton getting the eggs while Daddy held the basket

Zoë getting as much as she could (we had each child take 20 eggs so it would be equal in the end)

cousins Tighe and Dominique getting there eggs

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny left some baskets hidden around the house for the kids to find this morning.

Getting ready to open there baskets

Zoë not fully awake, I woke her up as it was already 8:30am and she was still sleeping.

They got more presents then candy as they already got a bunch from other Easter activities.

Jenn's Bridal Party

I had Jenn's (my soon to be sister-in-law) bridal party at my house on Saturday. I didn't plan it but I provided the house, there was about 20 people over and it went very well. Dayna watched the kids for a couple of hours and for the last hour of the bridal party they got dropped off and had lots of fun playing with everyone and eating.

Lots of yummy food

Our contender... who won.

More Science Center pics

This isn't at the science center but I had to put this up. Zoë is very orderly, is always lining up her toys and organizing her food. Yes that is bananas on cucumbers... weird girl.

My astronaut

Zoë going on a bed of nails, she had to show some older boys there was nothing to be scared of, she is a bit of a daredevil.
