 I had to post this picture because... really, Kellen is such an easy baby! My children would have never just fallen asleep while playing.

This summer, I've had the opportunity to watch my nephews, Brayden and Kellen.  I absolutely love having them over.  I've gotta get a bigger vehicle though because we are confined to our house unless we wanna walk the 1.7 miles to the local sprayground.  Yep... I've walked it once while pulling three kids in the wagon and holding the fourth ones hand and we all made it home safe after stopping for icecream.  If you are wondering why we've only been there once so far... it's cause there's only been one day warm enough to really play in water.  Oh how I love the PNW.

Moving Up Ceremony

 She did it. Caitlyn completed her first year of preschool.  The year went by super fast and it's amazing how much she has learned... and grown... seriously, they measured her on the first and last day of school and she grew two inches.

 These pictures were taken by my photographer friend, Jaime. She's also the mom of the only other girl in the class, Audrey.

One last picture of Caitlyn with Miss Julie.

Next year, Caitlyn gets to wear the cute cap and gown.

We are so proud of her!

Handsome Haircut

Lately everyone has commented on how Ashley and Ashton are basically twins because of their curly hair. Well, Ashley went and buzzed off all his curls for the summer so...

 guess who else got his curls buzzed?!?!

 Thats' right... my little man!

 His mohawk of curls just killed me.

 uh oh... he must have finished his popsicle.

 seriously... I love love love his curly hair.

The end result.

We moved from popsicles to dum dums.

Since this day we have began growing his curls back out.

Love him... and his curls!

Caitlyn Horiuchi?!?

Watch out, Grant Horiuchi... and all of my other photography friends...

Cause, Caitlyn Leigh has taken an interest in photography

 ...and CLEARLY... she's good.

 She has practically mastered the self timer function on my camera.

She knows just how to make her subjects smile.

We spend many minutes a day posing and listening to the beeps. 

Did I say minutes... I meant hours a day.

Love her!

ugh...

that's how I'm feeling right now.  I want to have time to post more... I'll try to post something soon.  Really I just wanted to do a short post cause I swear I've gained a few pounds just looking at that stupid picture of my lemon bread. 
... to be continued.
