Four Months Old

There is just something so sweet about these girls. I see them being the best of friends one day.

Her body is so juicy these days I just love her! We all can't stop kissing her. She even squints when we get near her. She knows somethings coming!

Daddy loved her piggy's. They weren't in for very long so I'm so glad he got this one of her.

I love every one of those rolls and know them by heart.

She's captivating, this little one. There's just something about her.

Full of life, our little Lilah Dahl. Makes me want to go wake her now and kiss that soft skin of hers.

Winter Pix of 2008

This was actually a very funny moment for me. We had planned the night before to practice with Bella on bike riding. This is kinda a problem because she really has no interest. Sofia was 3 and quite the rock star on the bike and Bella is 5. I know we shouldn't compare but its definitely a comparison.

So this is the funny part. Daddy walking back because Bella rather dust of the rusty screws on the bike. She looks at the trees, notices the leaves have fallen. Her helmet bothers her and shes getting thirsty. He's done for the day and Sofia is just lacing up her skates. I'm still laughing...

So much fun watching the girls smile and laugh. The best part is how excited they are for each other. We kept saying, "go open yours" and "what did you get?" It was so cute.

Christmas Morning we waited for our sleepy girls to wake up.

My favorite part of the season is the girls running out to greet our mailman, Sam, and asking him for the Christmas cards. Its so sad the day I take them down. I can't seem to actually throw them away. I put them on the counter and I think Jeff ended up doing it.

These notes are so sweet! The thought and team work that went into it was precious.

Rubi was more excited over the passy that Santa left for Lilah to use for her baby dolls.

Date with Daddy at home. Homemade and messy, there's no better way!

First rainy day of school and they girls are thrilled. So excited to take umbrella's to school.

One of the girls favorite things to do during Christmas is to go caroling and check out all the lights. My grandma, G.G., gave Sofia her antique caroling book which Sofia cherish's. I didn't go this year because of the little ones but Jeff and some neighbors took the kids and they had a great time. Next year I plan to make it a big deal for them since it has been a sweet little tradition.

A fun night at the mall ended with Santa. Rubi was very excited unlike the previous years with Sofia and Bella. Even this year, Bella had to dig deep for the courage not to be scared. We were so proud of her!

Seems forever ago...

but just over four months ago I was pregnant for the very last time, ever! Its very fun to share these pictures because it was so much fun and so generous of some of the great friends I have.

I was having the girl and Tiffany was having a boy, little Cash.

Jen, top right in brown, was so sweet and offered her home and talents. I am forever grateful for the memories. These girls prayed over our sweet babies and showered us with beautiful gifts.

Sprinkles Cupcakes, yummy!!!! I think I snuck a bit from everyone. They knew how excited I was about these!

A walk at the park

Sofia couldn't just ride on the trail, she takes the hard road. I
think that might be the season for her these days. We're working on
it. She sure loves that bike!

Love this Jogger

I didn't know I would be using this for 3 of our children. All were
asleep and peace and quiet was awesome.

Beach in January?

This was after a long fun day of water, sand and sun.

We left right at sunset. We said it together, going, going, gone!

So happy, this little one. Only a mommy knows what kind of energy the beach brings to our kids. Its unexplainable.

Lilah fell asleep looking perfect as ever. She just goes with the flow. Thank you God for that!

No complaints here! Bella just needing a moment to soak up the sun.

Playtime

Growin' Girl

As you can see in her eyes, Lilah just woke up. By the look of that
chin, I think she gained a few pounds last night. Wow, more kissable
than ever!

Our little visitor.

We had such a fun time after school when a suprise visitor came over.
We fed her, chased her and even tried to catch her. She left and the
girls were so sad. Please come again little friend.

I was so excited when I opened my door today to find a little treat on
my door. It was my Holiday Scones from Heidi Fox. Although you might
think scones are just scones, these are special. Besides the amazing
taste of white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, maybe a hint of
almond and some type of sweet smooth glaze finished with silvered
almonds, these scones are going to a good cause. She has a few
charities that they money will be going to. Give her a call or email
her and get some soon!

Sweet

Something so sweet about them tonight. The babies are asleep and we're
living it up. Its magical here at the mall, especially at Pottery
Barn Kids. So fun!

Returning

Celebrating Bella Eve on her 5th birthday.

Burnin' up the New Years Eve night in the desert with some of our great friends.

Precious Lilah Dahl getting sweeter with each day. We are so IN LOVE!

Attempting a picture at Fashion Island. The girls were in awe, the tree was spectacular.

What do I say after returning from a 3 month vacation to journal (blogging)? Our newest angel is complete heaven and I am sad I haven't wrote down some special times. Time is going by so fast and I already miss her sleeping on my chest for hours. Now, its down to bed like clock work, get used to the naps and routine, here we go. Love the upcoming winter days and cozy outfits but anxious for our beach days this summer. I wish I could post every picture of our sweet Lilah Dahl or the girls smooching on her but that would just take hours. Here are a few from the past couple months.
