River Weekend with the Smith Family

We had such a fun and relaxing weekend at the river with the Smiths and Grandma and Grandpa Schwarz and Aunt Cristin.  Connor and Brady are only a couple months apart and so are Siena and Delaney so it's fun to watch them grow up together and they play so well together!  Connor is into all the same things Braydon is.  They both love Toy Story, Superheroes and wrestling.

Connor is potty trained so we all teamed together to work on getting Brady potty trained as well.  He did a great job with only a few accidents.  Delaney is crawling and is full of smiles.  Siena can sit up on her own for long periods of time now and ate her very first solids.  The little girls loved the water and Brady and Connor swam around with their daddy's and fished at dusk.

Here are a few photos of our two little lights of our life.

Legoland and fun weekend with the Winzens and Mathis Family

The Mathis family and Jason and Lindsay Winzen came down on a Friday and Saturday to hangout.  We all went to Legoland on Friday and had a big sleepover on Friday night.  Brady LOVES Max and Caprice!  They all play so well together.  And Uncle Jay went on a ton of rides with Brady since Siena and I couldn't go on a lot of them because Siena isn't tall enough ;)  When we got back we ordered pizza and the kids played in the bouncy house.

Siena is 5 months old!!

STATS:

13 pounds 6 ounces (15th percentile)
24.5 inches (36th percentile)

Siena is such a sweetheart.  She is super active and alert.  She rolls over, sits up with support, grabs objects and plays with them, smiles and laughs.  She is REALLY strong and kicks her little feet all the time.  Braydon loves her so much and plays with her a ton.  He makes her giggle.

Trip to Sebastopol

I haven't been home in a while so I decided to take the kids up to Mimi and Grampy's for a couple weeks.  Brady is 2 years and 7 months old now and Siena is 4 months.  We flew a small propellor plane directly to Sonoma County and the kids were great on the plane.  Braydon LOVES going on airplanes.  He is talking so much now and in nearly clear sentences.  Siena is sitting up with support and grabs at everything.  She shrieks and yells and makes all kinds of noises non stop.  She loves to hear her voice.  We think she may be a talk show host in her future.

Braydon was in love with Mimi and Grampy's yard.  There was a playhouse, a treehouse, a swing and tons of trees and property to run around on.  His favorite was the pond where he would feed the fish and the fake snakes that he would "kill" with his Ninja sword.  There was also the neighbor's cat that would come over every once in a while and Brady would feed him milk and talk to him.

The Sonoma County Fair was going on while we were there and we went 4 or 5 times.  Cousin Mishy and Reid (3) and Sidra (9 months) came with us twice :)  Reid and Braydon play so well together, Braydon called him his Best Friend.  And Sidra and Siena would just hangout in their strollers.  Braydon got to ride a horse and saw every farm animal there is to see, goats, pigs, deer, cows, etc.  He was in heaven!

Brady was Grampy's little side kick, they went fishing together, while Siena and I watched and Grampy's friend Chuck helped too.  Brady caught two Trout!  And we cooked them and ate them for breakfast.

Jake and Jesse came to visit too and they played Ninjas with Braydon in the backyard.  It was such a fun time!!

4th of July

We spent the holiday at Grandma & Grandpa Schwarzs, or as Brady says "Granpa and Granpa".  It was a great time!  They have the perfect pool and from the second he woke up Braydon was playing around in it.  There were these electronic fake fish we put in the pool that were a huge hit.  A little later in the day the Winzen and Mathis families came over.  Brady loved playing with Max and Caprice.  We BBQed and had delicious stuffed burgers.

HAHAHAHA!

Braydon got stitches

                                             
Poor little guy had to get three stitches in his head today :(  Brady was playing in Mommy's car while Daddy was cleaning it out.  Daddy tried to tell Braydon to get out but he didn't want to, he wanted to keep playing.  So Daddy went in the garage to do a few things and heard Brady screaming and crying so he ran over to find Brady on the floor of the car covered in blood.  Apparently he was in the front and dropped his blanket in the back, when he bent to try to get it fell and hit his head on the metal brackets in the back.  Daddy ran him inside and told Mommy to help clean him up.  Mommy nearly had a heart attack when she saw her baby boy covered in blood.  We swooped up Siena and loaded the whole family in the car to head to Urgent Care where our brave little boy got three stitches in his head.  Brady called them ropes.
