5 years + 10 months...and 2 years + 9 months!

we recently spent a nice long weekend up in Washington to visit abuelo and abuela.  the kids, as usual, had such an amazing trip spending lots of quality time with their grandparents.  the kids and i also got introduced to what life is like in a minivan with a dvd player, and let me tell you, it is pretty amazing.  and i think john is starting to think so too. =)

our youngest 

little miss sassy pants

she's a feisty one!

an inauthentic silly pose

you can tell livi is just not into it!

i sometimes call them six year olds...

and they always correct me...
"we're five and three quarters"

time to disassemble our playroom bunk bed

and reassemble up in the kids' room!

so far so good!

all four of our kids in one room!

daddy-daughter date to the stanford game

aren't they cute?!

gooooo stanford!!

did someone say ice cream??

post-football game tradition before the long drive home

that's our liv...scoring a goal!

spectating is hard work

family walk to support homeless pets

lyla and herbie even got to meet a piggie!

meet the pellegrinis

hiking at the dog park

striking their silly poses

this was right before the girls showed me their bums

"no hands!" on a hill...not a great idea

herbie visited the dentist, and had a LOT of work done,
including 4 extractions and 2 "amputations"...and the
doc has 2 more teeth to pull!

poor guy had a rough day of recovery but bounced back pretty quickly

testing out halloween costumes!

someone likes grandma vivi

his favorite seat in the car

the perfect height to enjoy some fresh air

me and herbie hiking in the marin headlands

john and herbie playing an early morning game of fetch

still smiles after a pretty rough fall

snacks...yum!

a ray of sunshine

painting time!!

our little artista (under sheila's guidance...
john and i sadly never do these types of projects)

taking her baby for a walk

abuelo and abuela introduced us to a great new
children's museum in bellevue

i have to admit i did love the kids ropes course

lyla at the water pump

a quick trip to the hospital to see
abuelo's portrait hanging on the wall

one of the best museum's i've ever been to!

fly like a rocket!

off to explore the many exhibits

lyla got to sit in many different cockpits

she looks like a natural!

rocket launchers

the three amigos

there were so many huge airplanes to explore

the girls found a special friend

not sure whether melba and pancho were relieved
or sad when lyla gave her goodbye hugs

the flight went smoothly and back to reality we went

we unpacked while this one took a little break
