Random pictures from the weekend...

Happy Birthday Brianna!! Notice Presto is far from the cake...last b-day party he blew out the birthday girl's candles for her:)

 We had an awesome weekend.  Saturday we spent a few hours at Nana/Nonno's.  They made the kids lunch and we all walked to the park at the end of their block(very convenient!).  The boys headed home for a nap and Phia and I took off to get our toes painted! We then went out to sushi and ice cream with the P's which the kids always love! Sunday we went to our brand new Scooter's Jungle for Brianna's b-day party.  It wore the kids out...and Daddy too!! He must've climbed the slide 15 times! We love that it's so new which means it's clean:)!! Perfect weekend...just wish it lasted longer. 

Presto...enjoying juice.  Since he never gets it at home...he really makes up for it on special occasions

Phi Phi loved this thing

The best Daddy in the world!! I told Phia last night...when she gets older, she'll realize how truly amazing he is(not that she doesn't already know that!)

Daddy took bear on the huge slide a million times...he loved it!

Ally and Mommy joining in on the fun!

A very blurry picture of Phia on the zipline.  None of the other kids would go so our brave girl did it first and all by herself!!

The mayhem at the zipline

I look at this picture in awe.  What a beautiful young lady she's become.  Seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.  Thank you for teaching us everything we know Phia Lil!!

After sushi dinner and ice-cream dessert with the P's Presto was strolling along the mall, picked up this cone, put it on his head and kept on movin'.  He's a crackup...one of the MANY reason you are the coolest kid on the planet Presto!!

MELT...the kiddos fave ice cream spot

Mommy and Phia getting pampered.  She was so excited.  She made sure to tell the lady to not touch the owie on her toe! Of course the ladies all loved her...how can you not?

We love the park near Nana's house.  It's the park I grew up at and now the kiddies get to enjoy it as much as I did.

Oh our sweet sweet bear was feeling so much better Saturday.  He had a blast at he park and cries when we leave!

Reptiles show at school!

Room 1 and 2 saw the show together which made it awesome for mommy!

 They had a reptile show this week at the kids school and I was lucky enough to attend.  The get sooooo excited(literally their faces light up) when we attend their school functions so I'm proud to say we  haven't missed one!!  This one was particularly hard for mommy b/c there were(disgusting) reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions...bleck but the kids seemed really into it! Phia was chosen first to demonstrate and she wasn't scared at all! She got a cute little green lizard and was beaming from ear to ear in front of her classmates.  Presto was chosen next(ironically) and he got to hold the lizard on it's back.  He's hands weren't very steady so I was so paranoid he'd drop it but he did really well! He's learning to sit on his bum(he's got a way to go as it's only his 2nd week in school) however, during this demonstration it was nearly impossible for him to sit...he was so into it!!

Look at our sweet Phia!

And little Presto too.  It's pictures like these that remind us how tiny he still is:)

Note: Presto on his knee...just couldn't sit!

I love her face...this was a very slimy toad

Phia and Tess...Tess got freaked(couldn't blame her) so she sat down before the lizard even came out

(don't mind Riley's skirt)...so Riley was chosen to come up and replace her.  LOVE Phia's face in this one!

And she had no problem touching him:)

Meeting her little friend face to face

And it was Presto's turn next! He was over the moon!

Yay!!! He did so well!!

Careful buddy!

Christmas with the other Tees family!

Dapper boys:)

 We celebrated late this year because Auntie Sarah was with her family during Christmas.  We had a very casual celebration and also celebrated Uncle Frank's birthday with cake and ice cream.  The cousins love seeing each other and I can't get enough of watching them play...such great memories they're making.

Din din time!!

Uncle Frank and Presto...Preston's new thing is he loves to help make coffee so Uncle Frank was supervising;)

Auntie Sarah and Miss Phia

And a birthday kiss from Miss Phia

Make a wish!

Always a princess...

The boys playing ball in the garage:)

Bentley's 15 month stats!

Bentley's first haircut! We kept his hair...it's super fine, soft, and curly wirly! He was super sick here from his shots but still as handsome as ever!

Oh how our bear is growing! He's so very very tall:)  He did not feel well at all after his shots but is back to his normal happy self now...phew! He loves giving big open mouth kisses(mommy and daddy's favorite) and is such a sweet soul.  We love you BEAR!! This week we managed to wean him off both the bottle and the binky...such a big boy.  Here are his stats:

Weight: 24lbs 8oz(50th percentile...such a slender boy)

Height: 32 1/4"(81 percentile...TALL BOY)

Head: 49.5(95th percentile!!! Smart boy)

Our sleepy cuddly bear

Some mornings after taking the kids to school I'm able to come home and walk around the neighborhood with bear...I cherish these mornings!

Look at me mama...I like milk in a sippy now!!

Ohhh the diapy...how mama loves the diapy!

More weekend fun...

Breanna, Logan, and Presto enjoying dinner!

After the zoo we had the Malyszek's over for dinner/drinks/dessert! We bbq'd chicken asada and the brought cupcakes from Skiff's.  Their son Logan is in Phia's class and they have another little girl Brianna and have a newborn Hailey so they have their hands full just like us!  The kids bounced in bounce house and watched Madegasgar while the adults got to visit.  Such a relaxing night!

Daddy holding sweet Hailey...brushing up on his newborn skills for our new angel to arrive!

I love Bentley's staticky hair...ha!

All 3 of our munchkins

Mommy still does airplane with the kids at 5 months pregnant...probably not the smartest thing!

But they love it sooooo much!!

Presto kept saying "To infinity and beyond!!!"

LA Zoo Day!

The two musketeers

Our darling littlest bear loved walking around

We have an annual pass to the LA Zoo and we haven't used it in a while! The secret of the LA Zoo is to get there right when the doors open, head straight to the playground(that's empty b/c it's early) and then only stay for 2 hours before the crazy crowds flood in.  We went with our neighbors to celebrate a birthday and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. The kids loved it! They also put in a brand new carousel right near the elephant exibit.  Again, since it was so early we were the only ones on it!

Mama and bear...funny how the older kids don't mind being in the stroller now!

Flamingos!

Can't seem to get them all smiling but at least they're all in the same spot!

We were a little surprised there were no belts on the animals...thankfully we both stood near the kiddies

Presto insisted on having "Marty"(from Madegasgar)

Bentley's first carousel ride

Phia really wanted the unicorn but settled for a horsey to be near her brothers...

Yay!! They even offered to take a family picture of us...now that's service

Our monkey checking out the elephants

He had such a good time!

when we arrived at the playground it was empty...my kind of playground!
