Doesn't Happen Often

This weekend all of my siblings were in town!  It seems the older we get the further spread out we become, so we like to go all out when we are all together in one place at the same time.  We started by going to Fairy-tale town on Friday morning while we waited for Sam and Bubba to make their way to Sacramento.  I loved that for the most part the cousins didn't really miss a beat with each other and were quick friends.


After a quick nap for Sienna we headed of to Bounce U in Roseville.   It took Sienna awhile to fully wake up and put her brave face on, but by the end of the afternoon she was going down slides by herself and having a great time


We ended Friday with pizza at the Bacchus house and cupcakes to celebrate Charles's upcoming birthday.  
On Saturday after lunch we headed to Elk Grove for some swimming.  I was so proud of Sienna!  She let me put floaties on her for the first time and jumped off the side over and over and even tried swimming a little bit.  We missed Daddy, but have big plans to show off her new skills when we get to Idaho next week!
 

After swimming we went to the Gibson house for a fiesta themed dinner and even tried, for Grandma, to get a picture of all of the grandkids together...this is as good as it gets...sorry Grandma. :)
 


We even took a picture of the six of us.  My picture was photobombed by Chad's foot, but Andi's picture was the best with her youngest poking up a little behind Katie...he had just gotten hurt right before we took the picture.
 

We finished the night with the kids roasting marshmallows for smores and the grown ups enjoying brownies and ice cream.  It was such a fun weekend and went by much too fast!

A day in the life...

My last day working for the Bacchus's was on Thursday and so I took picture so that I could remember what Sienna and I's everyday life looked like.  
After everyone got dressed the three oldest would go and play with each other and since we don't have an I Pad this particular day we played on Aunt Tracy's.

William  does this...about one billion times...

but we are friends anyway...

We eat lunch

Then, magic happens.  The three littles all nap...at the same time!



Charles and I do art, his workbook and play games during this time

Then we play outside because that's way more fun then being stuck inside all day.

 We also stop for snacks now and then.


Before we know it, mom and dad are home and Sienna and I head back to our home, where because Grandma is awesome, dinner is waiting for us!

Splash Park Play Date

When Sienna and I aren't packing by our house for the move we are trying to find ways to entertain ourselves while Daddy is away.  We miss him like crazy and can't wait until it's our turn to "zoom off to Idaho" as Sienna would say.  Today we went to the nearby splash park with some friends and had a great time!



We are going to miss our play group friends!
