Sonoma Train Town

We had the fun opportunity to go to the Sonoma Train Town yesterday with our friends the Elliots. Kenadee and Oslo had a great time playing with each other and were both very facinated by the trains. We also took them on a carousel ride. After the train town we went to eat some Mexican food and then played in the park at the city square. It was a hot day in Sonoma, so we tried to stay hidden in the shade. Oslo and Kena enjoyed running around, chasing each other, putting leaves in the fountain and hugging! What a cute little duo.

Look Who's Smiling

Jumpin Monkeys

This is Kena with her best friend MaKenzie. They both are only allowed to have their binkies in their cribs, so occasionally they want to be in the crib to play.

Laundry Basket Fun

Need I say more??

1 Month

Our little man is one month today! We are loving life with him. He is sleeping better and better which is very appreciated. He is also surviving his sister quite well! :0
This picture shows off his cute double chin!

Super Baby

From birth this kid has been strong! Here he is displaying his talents.

A look back

So prior to Benson's arrival I was very lazy with blogging and failed to get very many graduation pictures posted. I am hence making up for that with several pictures. We were lucky to have great support from Ben's family. His mom, sister, brother and sister-in-law, and sister and brother-in-law were all able to come out for the event. We had a great time hanging out with them. The girls got pampered and the boys played golf. We were also able to go out and eat lots of yummy food!
This next picture is of us with the McDonoughs and the Ences. These two couples saved us through school. We were extremely blessed to become such great friends with these couples! They are all absolutely amazing!!

These are Ben's "dental school parents", Jim and Debbie Ence. The next picture is of Ben with Dean Ferillo, his brother David and brother-in-law Eric.

The banquet dinner was wonderful! At the graduation ceremony, Kena got bored in her seat, so we went out in the hall to play with her best buddy Ryder Ence. She of course had to give him lots of kisses. Boy do we miss him!!

Disney Princess

I saw this on my friend Cara's blog and thought it was funny.

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?"

Wonderful Mama

My mom is fabulous! She was kind enough to come help out when Kena was born and is a saint to have come to help out when Benson arrived! She is amazing, full of love for my little ones, and filled with fun ideas. Kenadee and Benson are so lucky to have her for a grandma! I am grateful for her advice and for her listening ear. I am also so grateful for her patience with a cranky new mom of two. Seriously, when I don't get great sleep I am not a pleasant person to say the least, but my mom was thoughtful and patient despite that. Mom, you really are amazing! Thanks for all you do for me!!
While my mom was here she made everything into a hat. This was Kena's favorite thing to have on her head! :)
