Lovin' Liam

After our beach trip, we got to see baby Liam at Nana & Papa's.

We were there for just a few hours,

but got in plenty of snuggles and smooches.

 

Sweet baby Liam,

already 3 months old!

 

 No longer the baby in the family,

Holden shows us what a BIG boy he is becoming.

(Sigh.)

 Hazel had to share some LOVE with her baby brother too.

...On the road again...

Lovin' Liam takes a lot out of these Garner boys.

Rockaway Beach - Spring Break 2013

The Petrjanos family,

Jake, Angela, Ryan & Madeline,

were so very kind to invite us on their beach trip!

 

We were amazed at the OCEANFRONT views.

The weather was wonderful,

and the time with friends was fanstastic.

 

The five kids all mingled well.

Hazel especially LOVED playing big sis to Maddie.

Henley especially LOVED playing lil bro to Ryan.

Holden LOVED trying to track the kids all over the house.

 

Nothing like a beach snooze.

While the boys napped,

Hazel snuck away for some special daddy (and mommy) time.

Hazel's pride and JOY,

her shell and rock collection.



Male bonding over Star Wars.

Female bonding over Disney Princesses.

Holdie says, "Wait for me!"

The little mommy with her two babies.

High 5's exchanged between the curly reds.

Adore this one of Maddie and mama.

Beautiful morning at the beach.

Buddies.

"Peace"

Sillies.

Hazel and her mini-me.

Walkin' with a mission.

THANK YOU

Petrjanos Family!

Thanks again to this blog,

my way to TRY and keep track,

when these kids continue growing so very FAST!



Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Holden turns 18 months...

...in California!

 

Holden and I took off on a quick trip last weekend.

He was great in the airplane,

and LOVED having two doting little mothers in Chloe and Lexi.

 

Here are some pictures of our trip to visit the Hall Family.

 



Easter Bunny decorating.

Lexi had a heavy hand with the frosting,

my kind of girl!

Chloe was so precise and careful with her friendly bunny.

Joanne and I had to make sure the cookie was edible,

therefore our bunnies only got their heads decorated.

YUM.

Trampoline time with tummy tumblers.

"BALL!"

Happy Holdie.

Interesting contraption he found.

Trying to catch the sunshine and take home with us to Oregon.

Holden LOVES oranges.

He loves them even more after our trip.

The Halls have a tree that grows the MOST delicious oranges.

Super YUM!

Sillies.

Shocker, Holden has a BALL.

Lexi shows off her skills.

Quick learner, picking his own fruit.

Getting a bit wet with...

a BALL of course.

(See a theme?)

 

 LOVE this profile....especially the tummy.

(Full of oranges.)

 Sweet Chloe, hard to believe she will be 11 this summer.

 Tuckered out after a full day of fun.

 Funny games on the ipad.

 My happy traveler and I.

Next time I hope to bring his siblings,

but for this weekend it was nice to shower him with attention.

Thanks to Joanne, Kris, Chloe and Lexi for a fantastic visit.

LOVE you guys!
