Before.....

These are the before pictures of our yard! We have always wanted to extend our driveway, so here we go!!! These are pictures of the back patio...we HATE our back patio.
It is way to small and you cant fit anything on it! So we wanted to make it larger. We wanted to make a deck, but we haven't won the lottery yet. :)
We wanted a large outside area to allow our family to spend time outside when it is nice!

So check back tomorrow for the new pictures and see how it looks! :)

Daddy's gone fishing!

Romeo & his buddies chartered a boat and went fishing out in the sound! They had a great time and beautiful weather. Not to many fish were caught, but the boys had fun!

This is Chris and Romeo...they love fishing! CrAzY boys!

Beautiful Kaya.....

Can someone please tell me how we have a 10 year old! I am not sure when she grew up... I wanted to take a minute an BRAG about her since she already knows how to walk, she has no cast, and accidents are no more; so she doesnt get lots of posts here. But we love her and are very proud of her. She is at a play in Seattle with her Choir; Lion King!

Our baby "kitty"

Sierra started out playing next to the couch and as the sun moved so did she. It was so cute. She loves sitting in the afternoon sun to play. She is taking her sweet time to crawl...so she taught her self how to scoot on her behind. So cute!
Maybe we need to visit AZ for some real sun? ;)

No wonder the playroom is a mess!

I found the reason of why the playroom looks like a tornado came through.....Bella. She was playing and making LOTS of noise, so when it stopped i went to check in with her. This is what i found..... I found ALL the toys on the floor and Bella so tired from making the mess, she had to nap on it! :) She is my crazy tornado!
When she saw me she didnt care, she laid back down to rest!!!!! Funny girl!
NOW CLEAN UP!!!

Sierra's Photo Shoot

Times are getting tough in the Rachi's house hold so i am doing my part to save money! I love getting the girls' pictures taken for their milestone ages and Sierra is now 9 months old. And we just dont have the extra cash right now to get them done...so i did it myself!I think they turned out pretty cute. I did figure out that i need an assistant for these pictures if i want her to smile! Otherwise i am shaking a toy over my head and balancing the camera...kinda funny to watch i am sure! Cutie Girl! She has such big blue eyes!
She was having fun for a little while! :) I had 3 more outfits that i wanted to have her wear but....
...Sierra was not having it! So maybe the next sunny day we will try again!

Big girl underware

Bella got a package in the mail last week and it was from Mimi (Grandma James). Bella was so excited to see what was in it...since she never gets mail she thought this was so cool! So one handed she opened up the package to find Minnie Mouse big girl underware! She was so excited! She wanted it open right away...but i needed a picture of it with the note.
The note is so cute (sorry the picture is sideways). Bella carried the note around for a few days after the package arrived.
Romeo laughed at me when i took this picture of her cute little tush in the big girl underware...but i just had to! She is doing such a great job!
Bella has only had 1 accident and that was MY FAULT! How is that possible you ask? Well she was past due on her nap and i put her to bed in her underware! OOPS...lets just say i will not let that happen again! I paid the price :)
