Pictures

I am totally slacking in this department. I need to take a lot more pictures and upload them to the blog more often. Poor second child, I guess what everyone says is true because I want to say he has 1/100 of the pictures we had of Kalia at this age. It doesn't mean we love you any less Vili, how could we? Look how adorable you are! I wish I could kiss those little cheeks all day.

He is such a smiley guy!

We can't forget the best big sister ever! I straightened her hair the other day and she thought she was pretty hot stuff!

Don't mind the "fro". These two cannot get enough of each other. They always seem to crack each other up.

The Steelers fans. The poor kids don't have a choice in the matter, but I do and that's why I'm not in the picture! :)

Seriously don't you want to squish and kiss on him!

Thanks for the cute outfit Heidi and Ryan! I should have taken the picture before he drooled all over it.

Hopefully I will get some more pictures up before Vili turns a year old, but I'm not making any promises.

He's Here!

Wow I have so much to catch up on, but that will all have to wait. Here are some pics of our sweet baby boy.

Dress Up

One of my sisters roommates and life long friends Marci dressed Ella up the other when we were over there visiting. Ella thought she looked so cool. I thought she looked adorable, and too grown up.

Thanksgiving Point

One of Ella's very favorite things to do is ride horses, so they day before her birthday we took her to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. We have been there numerous times but it is always a big hit!

Happy 3rd Birthday Ella!

Ella turned 3 on July 18th. We kept it simple with cake and ice cream with family and friends over at Aunt Nikki's house.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland and Newport Beach back in the beginning of June with all the Given side of my family. Ella has talked about it literally EVERY day since. The highlight of the trip for Ella was definitely the Princesses. Other favorites were the Tea Cups and It's a Small World. Sita enjoyed Tower of Terror and body surfing at the beach. My favorite part was spending time with family and relaxing.

Given Family Reunion

Our little family, with the one on the way!

Lots of waiting in line (Sita sticks out like a sore thumb in my short family hahaha)

It's a Small World. Everyone had enough after one ride. Ella and I went 4 or 5 times. :)

I thought she would be scared. She LOVED it! She giggled the whole time.

Bugs Life 3D. Poor thing...I have never seen her so scared in her entire life.

I Got Bored

I need to remember to think before I act when I'm bored. I decided to cut Ella some bangs one day. While they look as cute as can be, I should have thought about this a little more before I did it. With her super natural curly hair it wasn't my brightest idea. When she started to get hot and sweaty they curled right up and looked silly. We have been growing them out ever since.
