A whole lotta pictures...

So yeah-updating the blog used to be so easy with just one kid. Now it seems I have no time. And when I do have time, I choose to do other things. However if you check out some of my friend's blogs, you might just see what we're up to-like currently and not a month later. ;0

I have a ton of pictures so let's see how far I can get through them.


A recent trip to Edmonds Beach with the kiddos-and by recent I mean sometime in June

Our first swim in the pool

Sydney just loves the pool
Alex loved his first swim-and his faux hawk!

Sydney really really wanted to wear her old jammies she found. They were size 12 months and actually they did fit-the neckline was just way way lower than normal. We decided to cut the feet off so she could still wear them-and my crafty hub made slippers out of the feet. These are her current fave jammies right now.

Swing kids

Each year we do the Susan G. Komen 5k in honor of my mom who lost her battle to breast cancer 13 years ago. This year we had even more family and friends turn out which was awesome!

Here are Trevor, Sydney and Nana
Many of the group
Trevor with our aunts (my mom's sisters) Cheryl and Char. Char is now a 20 year breast cancer survivor. After my mom was diagnosed at age 38 with breast cancer, my aunt Char went to have a mammogram and she was also diagnosed with breast cancer, at age 37. She always credits my mom to saving her life as she would never had gotten a mammogram that early on, especially with no previous family history.
Me and the bro
My little girl and I. I love that Sydney and I do this walk together to honor the grandma she only knows through stories and pictures.

Team Wallene

Most of the group
Sydney with Papa and Nana
And it's just not a family event without some celebrating.
Sydney and her new bff Lindsay. Lindsay is the daughter of my cousin Kristy's friend Mel. Sydney just loved Lindsay and keeps asking me when we're getting together for a playdate with Lindsay.
My little man...cheerio hanging out of his mouth and all
I just can't get enough of those big blue eyes and those cheeks!

Sydney blowing bubbles for Alex
We had the family over to celebrate Trevor's 25th birthday-okay not really-35th actually. He just THINKS he's 25. We also celebrated Father's day.

Sydney really wanted to swing with Trevor

Trevor and his girlfriend Mychelle and Alex
Trevor is totally comfortable with holding a baby-can't you tell?

I took a picture or twelve of the bro with the kids, but didn't take one of my husband with the kids. Nice. Happy Father's day honey!

Sydney is definitely a daddy's girl
