Summer Catch Up on Pics

Lots of playing at the park.

We enjoyed a few trips to the Irvine Park.

Many crafts were made.

We enjoy looking at the beautiful sunsets.

We made a few visits to see daddy at work.

Happy 3rd Birthday Savi!
July 28, 2012

When I asked Savi what her favorite part about her birthday was she said her 3 candle with jewels.
We glued each jewel and pearl on to make it 'nice and pretty.'

Yosemite with the Diersing clan.

Savi and Rylee

Lucas loved our day of fun in the creek.

Paul, Jon, Tony, Mike

My sisters threw a little shower luncheon to welcome our little Reese.
All the details were so sweet and adorable.

Happy 60th Birthday Grandaddy!

Savi mastered her letters in no time and we're now working on the sounds.

Yummy! What a special treat from Aunty Ann and Great Grandma Diersing...
The Baskin Robbins gift card for her birthday was much enjoyed.

They love playing in grandaddy's surf mobile.

A field trip to Rancho thanks to Kara.

Mommy, I found out how to open the snack container...yummmm

Irvine Park to ride the train.

Our silly Lukey keeps us laughing. 

Pretzels and juice.
I love this picture of my little man.

Our last night walk before sweet Reese joined our family.
Of course we enjoyed the beautiful sunset too.

Sweet Reese Marie

Reese Marie
October 5, 2012

Our newest little angel. What a memorable day!
 She is so sweet and loves to be cuddled just like the minute she was born.

Savannah's baby doll has come to life! She was
so happy it was a girl.

Lucas kissed her on the head, but was more happy to see mommy :)

My sis in law-so sweet took a little photo shoot of
Miss Reese when she was two days old.

September

Still having picture problems, but I need to an update to feel caught up! I'm coming to an end of my pregnancy, and we are getting excited to meet the newest edition to our family. We are officially in the 'mini van' stage of our lives. The kids love running around it and I'm loving the space compared to my 4 door car. Three car seats are strapped in and we are almost party of 5! :)

The kids are excited to meet their new brother or sister. Savi says it's her baby sissy because she already has a brother, and Lucas just says beebee (baby) in such a cute voice when we ask him what's in mommy's tummy. They are truly such joys and add so much to our lives. They keep us busy, laughing, on our toes and the list goes on. I just look at them sometimes and wonder how God was so good to us. They are so precious and the absolute loves of our lives. Lucas wants to do everything and some that big sissy is doing. They are really having a fun time playing together lately. Trust me, they have their moments, but most of the time they are pure entertainment for one another.

Hopefully I'll post some pictures soon...

August Catch Up

Our photo program on our computer isn't working, so I'm not caught up on posting my pictures. I'll just write a bit so that I feel a little updated.

Well the search for a new house continues...we are grateful to have the house that we're in right now, and the kids have so much fun playing with the other little ones in the neighborhood. As soon as they hear them playing outside they want to run out there and ride all around in their little cars with them. Lucas keeps up with the big kids with no problem.

We went to Yosemite at the end of July/beginning of August. We actually drove up there on Savannah's 3rd birthday. I feel bad that none of her birthday pictures are posted yet...but soon enough they'll be uploaded. She had such a blast at her ballerina party. A few of her little friends came to dance and twirl with the birthday girl. She truly loved doing all of the little crafty things with me the weeks prior. She pays such attention to detail, as she always has, and loved little things like gluing jewels on and putting ribbon on everything. She is so sweet and still talks about her party. Yosemite was such a blast! The kids and all of us were filthy, but we enjoyed the true tent camping experience. We all took turns cooking and serving meals. Family trips are always fun-and the kids just ran all around collecting rocks, sticks and whatever else they could find. Bike rides were a hit, and hiking was fun too. The trees and views were beautiful-again, pictures soon...

Oh Mr. Luke is such a little love. His personality is really coming out. He knows how to make people laugh, and keeps going once he has your attention. He is still so cuddly and attached, I love every minute of it. His hair is officially white from the summer fun in the sun. He learned how to kick and blow bubbles during swim lessons this summer, and practices in the bath while he watches himself in the little mirror in the tub. He is adventurous, yet doesn't wander too far.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and all is going great! We are getting excited to meet our newest addition. He/she is moving all around, ready to play with big brother and sister. Bags are packed for the kids and Mike and I, so we are ready for the big day!

Mike is keeping busy at work...I admire the man is has become. He works so hard, yet comes home and is such an amazing and devoted daddy. The kids love to wrestle around with him, but also love to get 'cozy' as Savannah says with him when they cuddle.

This summer we've enjoyed...

14 Months. Loves his bath time.

Papa's company picnic. 

My happy little boy.
The back of Daddy's truck is always a fun spot for the kids to run around. 

My little perfectionist. She has been having so much fun helping with the details for her ballerina princess 3rd birthday party. We are having a couple of her little 'besties' come over and twirl around to celebrate. Almost every day she comes into my room and wants to look at the pile of things I have gathered for her party. She's so girly, and so detailed, I love it.

And then there's my boy. He is on a football field right in his element. We went to Temecula last minute for a festival and firework show. The second Luke saw the field he gravitated to the ball of course, and had so much fun running around with his cousins and daddy. He is all boy, it brings such joy to see him so happy and free spirited.

Still a little gatherer.
She has her babies, purse and all the accessories... 

Cousin time. A fun play day with Rylee.
In the evening we visited Daddy and got to take a little tour of the engine. 

Another play date.
We went to Aiden's pool to splash around. The kids had so much fun eating snacks, running around,
and being little monkeys.

Lake Havasu. Check out that hair!

Daddy teaching Savi how to drive the boat. Big stuff!

More crafts for her party.

We had a celebration party for the guys who have been on the department for 10 years.
What a fun family day!

Celebrating our 5 year anniversary.
 I am the luckiest girl. Mike is an amazing husband and daddy.
He works so hard to provide for us, and keeps us silly and striving to be better. He is the glue to our family.

Yeee haaaa! Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney.
7 months pregnant, the baby loved the concert too!

Yes, daddy gave Luke his first hair cut! I had to keep feeding him to try to
get him to stay still. It was pretty comical.

More cousin time.
Happy 4th of July.
Teri was a great hostess as usual. The kids had a blast. We ended the
night with fireworks and popcorn.

Savi's first hair cut too!

Big girl at the salon. She thought she was pretty big stuff!

Our tough little Savi.
She surprised us, but survived getting stitches. It didn't
stop her from having a great time at the lake.

My loves!

Nana time.

We've had busy days, lazy days, fun-filled days, park days, family days, and it's all been so much fun! We love getting the kids out and about, but also love our days just relaxing at home. We are so blessed to have our babies and love making memories for them and us.
