Hello Littlest.

We're adding to our boy party!!!

These two are going to be the best big brothers to their

littlest brother. They are thrilled. And they want to name him Donnigan. 

We can't wait to meet you, littlest.

We can't wait to be the family of boys.

We can't wait for that to be our thing.

And who wouldn't want to hitch their horse to this wagon of crazy?

Family of 5 here we come. April 2015.

Best in the West 2014

The stars are just like us...They go to the Kern County Fair. 

They wait for pig races.

BAMBI!!

Never again. Never again.

Someone got brave this year and shocked us all.

Seriously, jaws dropped.

"Take Me Out to the Ballgame". 

Nailed it. 3 times.

S

Butterfly kisses on butterfly kisses.

Brother explorers.

Thanks KCF. You're a pretty great tradition.

Little Pumpkins.

These are my pumpkins.

And they just don't get any cuter. 

Checking out the new pumpkin family...

Graham found a "pumpkin for the baby, Donnigan."

I tried to tack it on at the end and he moved it to be in "mommy's tummy".

He's getting into his big brother roll this time around.

First, and forever, pumpkin.

Cheesy and out.

Summer Lingers.

Mustard, ketchup, sister, and I rented a boat. 
We didn't go far. It was hilarious. And we survived. 

This one loves 'dideing'.

Waldo's a sneaky guy.

"Ah b-A-ket ball."

This one time Jill and Phil were engaged and they hired Erin and Meghan to take their pictures. Aaaaand they were pretty incredible. Nice work Erin. And love birds.

Happy place. Matching boys. Crazy hair.

When you're going on a family Caribbean cruise, you have to camp out at the post office for documents. And then you have to entertain toddlers while you wait your turn. 
But in the end: First time passport holders!

And first time Pump It Up birthday parties!
Eventually Graham went down the blow ups alone...but until then, we were pretty active adults. 

Oh Santa Barbara. You were so good to us. 
We dined, we laughed, we lounged, and we explored.
Thank you Aunt Cait for watching our boys so we could get away. Spoiled.

Happy 5 years, Sweet Pea.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa! 
Thanks for saving the "big holes" for G-unit.
"I am so happy!"

A key summer memory...drumrolllll...
Graham's first Happy Meal!!!
I wish this came with audio because it was the sweetest expression of joy I've ever seen. And neither of us could stop smiling. Sorry Whole 30. 
Sometimes a little indulgence and giddiness is worth the McDonald-ness. 

And to wrap up the memories...
It's a lovely evening when you can putt around with your brother...

He is risen, indeed.

Indeed it is October. 

And indeed I realized I never documented our Easter extravaganza at the Bell's! 

So here's a looksy. For memories sake.

.

Hostess with the mostest. 

 

Pearseys + Underwoods + Bells = Easter Togetherness!!!

Remember that Easter when Jill had purple hair? 

And Kirsten was giving Phil the look or maybe questioning his alertness?

Zach. Saying the Easter blessing.

Adult table!

Egg hunt for all! What a handsome.

Because I couldn't decide between the excited smile and pressed lips smile.

Easter family photo. Boom. It'll do.

We loved this family mash up. Praise the Lord for His power and grace.

He is risen, indeed.

Okay, back to fall.

Maybe I'll carve a bunny in my pumpkin.
