These Two Cuties

These two.
I just love them!
Naturally as siblings are, they love each other and like to push each others buttons. 

But, they are so cute when they hold hands.

They really do love to be together.
 

They ask me where the other one is a lot. 


They sit by each other when they watch movies 


and when we take our dog to the vet. 
 

Miles will always be up for cuddling.
Always.
Andie, not so much, 
So when I walked in to see he had held her and cuddled her sleep I almost cried.
It was darling.
 

Andie will copy every thing Miles does and this includes grocery shopping just like him.


They try to wake up their daddy together 
and read side by side.

They both shared a special Christmas eve together finding out that they have a baby brother coming to join their party.

It doesn't matter if they have had a great day or a rough day,
they ALWAYS end the night with a BIG hug goodnight.


I am so grateful they have one another.
And I'm excited for them to have another
buddy to add to their circle.
The more the merrier.
(...right???)

Snow in Southern California

 We had some pretty cold days here in Southern California this past winter. 
It wasn't much but we got two separate days of SNOW that fell from the sky!
AND there was one night it actually stuck to the ground.
It made waking up for school so easy and so exciting!!!
I've never seen Miles move so fast.

 He marched around making foot prints...

Once Andie woke up we rushed her outside too so she could make footprints... 


He was so excited he wanted to skip breakfast...

 and she found a way to eat breakfast and not skip the snow...

 He was so happy!
 (I felt guilty sending him to school on such a fun morning)

So, we quickly made a tiny tiny snowman before our carpool buddies picked him up....


And this was what remained by the time Miles got home from school.


 It was a pretty magical morning.

Joshua Tree


February 12th we had the day off of school and decided to go play at Joshua Tree with our close friends the Tangs.
IT WAS FREEZING all morning!
The wind was strong and the chill was... CHILLED.

But once the sun came out later in the day it was a lot better (for me)...
The kids just love climbing on all the jumbo rocks and being outside.
We have little hikers on our hands.


They didn't care how cold it was....they were just happy.


(daddy and Andie playing airplane never gets old)

Miles and Tyson ran around and around the same boulder countless times!


And Romney and Jason watched their boys run around and around...


We had a GREAT day and have discovered that our family likes this particular national park.

 
A LOT!

Happy Birthday Miles


January 24th Mr. Miles turned 6!!

Two little hands to show his age.
I cant believe it.
His two little hands love getting into any gum he can find.
His two little  hands love taking pictures with our mini camera.
His two little hands are always writing on post it notes.
His two little hands always have tiny toys in them.
His two little hands are constantly trying to tickle us during dinner.
His two little hands make great monster claws when he chases Andie.
His two little hands are ALWAYS germ free--bless his heart.
Though he is getting older his two little hands still want to hold mine every night while he falls asleep.
Miles, I hope your little hands grow to be strong hands to help others, open doors for girls, use them to pray, and wave people into your circle of friends.  
I love you my boy.


We had fun celebrating this cute kid.
Every year he picks the funnest party themes.
This year: SPIDERS.

We played a few Spider games and 
made Spider cookies


He opened his presents


which consisted of a lot of monster trucks and squishy/stretchy toys.
Both things speak to his heart.

We ended the party with Miles pick of a Chocolate Spider cake.


 


Happy Birthday Buddy!!!!!
