Lately

Macie has been REALLY fun lately. She's no longer a baby, she's practically a toddler. This age is so fun as her personality is really coming out. She is the sweetest most adorable girl filled with such personality. I am so lucky to be her mom! 

She found the TP. Luckily she hasn't figured out how to put it in the toilet yet.

Macie's first Thanksgiving... Sad it wasn't with family but we had fun with Austin and Natalie. Macie forgot about us though and fell in love with Cooper... Isn't it a little early for that?

I made matching shirts for the kiddos. They looked so cute and these will be perfect blackmail pics when they are older :)

 Her first official "grown up" dinner was Thanksgiving. She's had little foods here and there but this was her first full on meal. She had about 2 bites of everything and then was done. I'll take it!

Wisconsin was COLD!! These are the boots I made her.

Macie and Cooper on their first date to Panchero's. :)

Her dress I FINALLY made. 

Putting up the tree... Macie was a great helper. It's crazy to think that 1 year ago I was putting up the tree with a 7 month belly!

Tyler's been having way too much fun editing pics. This should be an album cover or something.

We stopped at the outlets on the way home from Wisconsin and could pass up this beanie and mittens... 

Spaghetti night

Spaghetti night at the Salima's is more comical than anything. Sayla is entering her independent stage so trying to feed her is more of a chore than just letting her dive into it. Unfortunately, the floor and wall suffered the most. We were laughing so hard at how serious she took her spaghetti. It's so funny how different kids can be. Savea was NEVER this messy...and still isn't.
P.S.-I promise my kids do wear clothes.

Mom and Dad... live T.V.

Go Mom and Dad! This is awesome!

Help needed...

Ok family, I need your help. I need to come up with a name for this little catering job I have going and I would like your suggestions. I was thinking that we could all decide on a name that everyone likes that way if we decide to move forward with this idea and make it a business and/or expand it into the business ideas we've talked about in the past, we all like it. What do you guys think? Honestly?....

Sorry if this is offensive but this movie looks super good. Probably not for the kiddos though.

I want to apologize now for all of the following posts posted by the Salima's. We've just had a lot happening lately and wanted to share. Love ya!!!!!!!

Halloween with the Salima's

Then came halloween. We spent the evening with some friends from Savea's b-ball team. Fun night!

Savea was the white Ninja.

Savea and his buddy Eric from b-ball.

Our little cupcake.

Sayla's b-day pokes...

Sayla will have a 1st b-day she will never forget. not only did she get 3 shots and a finger poke on her b-day, she also got 2 more pokes.

Bet you can't guess where.............??????

(Yes, mom decided to have it done)

I'll post pics of the actual procedure when I get them downloaded. Poor Vea had the hardest time with it. He was crying so hard worried his little sister was getting hurt. I love how protective he is of her and how much he loves her.

Sayla's 1st b-day!

Next we celebated Sayla's 1st b-day. This was a year of BIG b-day's. We spent the day shopping (Sayla decided on EVERYTHING we did that day...hehehe) and returned home for presents.

Brother was Sayla's biggest helper when it came to opening presents.

She loves her little lamb.

Making a wish...

Sayla wasn't all about diving into her b-day cake (cupcake). We got her a "gourmet" cupcake instead of baking a whole cake. She didn't want to eat it.

Savea's 8th b-day!

The Salima household has had quite a bit going on lately. So... I will start with Savea's b-day. Here are a few pics from Savea's b-day. We spent the evening at Chuck e Cheese and at a baseball practice.
