Silly Little Peeps

Preston thought this was hilarious... he couldn't move in dad's boots.. but he tried n tried.

And Adrian and his "gwassies" so he calls them ;) He's pretty obsessed with them and wore them most of the day (grdma honey gave em to him and took out the lenses)

It's always something.. these boys crackin us up!

Christmas 2009!!

Oh' Tis the Season... it was a wonderful but super busy holiday this year, we made the rounds and had many Christmas dinners in a span of 6 days and my little people got off their schedules (eating, napping, sleeping) and I have 15 loads of laundry, toys all over the place and a dirty house ;) But it was all well worth it!! This is what this time of year is all about... Families, quality time and loved ones. I think we all appreciate this time we have.. more and more as we get older. The kids received a toy overload but loved it... I think that each year will just get better and better with our boys, as they start to really get the Christmas concept!

Our family Christmas pic - once again Adrian is doing his own thing.. HAha

Here's P sporting a camo do-rag.. this was one of grandma Julia's random exchange gifts... love her... cracked us up!!

"Kino" the cutest lil puppy! Jeff and Amy's new addition to the fam! The kids LOVED him, they all just wore each other out! I can't wait to get the boys a dog someday!

Aunt Mikki letting P taste a little caffeine... lol

We went to cousin Kasie's for a play date with her 4 little cutiepatootie's.. we brought a little testosterone to her house that day.

Us vs. Cold

All bundled up for a doc appointment. It wasn't even thaaaat cold out this day. The next day felt like 20 degrees colder. Burrrrr oh burr! Let us hibernate all winter!

Green Eggs

Ok, so I know these don't look that appealing but they are actually pretty yummy and very healthy (I overdid the spinach a tad on these ones). I'm trying different ways to get the kids to eat healthy foods, soooo John bought me the book Deceptively Delicious - by Jerry Sienfelds wife. (good book!)
So I tried the Scrambled Eggs n Spinach & the kids LOVE them.

how to:

• wilt hand full or two of baby spinach in a sauce pan with a couple tbsp's of butter -saute
  
• after wilted add a little milk and cook until evaporated
• puree it up
• add to your scrambled eggs and cook em like normal
  
• I also added cheese to ours
  

Just because he's sooo cute! Here's Kellen as a Candycane ;)
John thinks I'm getting a little too girly with him. But with 3 boys....?! sorry Kellen!

John's getting old-er ;)

Happy Birthday John!

31 years ago today... my perfect match was born! (thanks Terri and John Craig ;)
To an outstanding father and husband.. hope you have a great birthday and MANY MORE!
We love you!

Some pics of John... as a little man, so cute!!

looking ornery with his sister

Awe.. and my favorite pic of him... in his college band days

Anticipating what his future will hold here on grad day... i bet he wasn't thinking 3 kids at this moment.. HA ;)

Our Christmas Trio!

Happy Holidays... Love, the Siladie Boys!

So after 50 + pics taken... I got one great one! We couldn't get Preston to keep his hat on tho and I had to give them tree ornaments to keep them occupied for about 5 seconds. I added the "sketch" photoshop option to the pic to make it a little more artsy.
In love with our 3 little amigos!!

Thanksgiving 2009

Preston's Turn!

It's Preston's turn for some one on one time with mom, so he's doing the gymnastics thing right now. He loved it.. he was so cute! Although when we first got there, he didn't really know what to do with himself... here he is taking it all in.

checking out some artwork ;) lol

He loved running back and forth.. bouncing on the long trampoline.

Kellen Video

Not so sure about this food stuff??

Maybe?

Yummmmy!

About 5 min. after his first taste of rice... he decided he didn't like it and back up it came.

At least we tried ;)

And here he is talking for the camera. Took about 5 tries to get this. Everytime I'd hold the camera up, he'd get all stiff and quiet for some reason and just stare deap into the lense.

Ornery x 2

It's so great how well Adrian and Preston play together, especially now that Preston is getting older. They just have a blast together. But double the fun is double the trouble for sure! Of course Preston imitates just about everything his big brother does... the good and mostly the BAD ;) We keep thinking.. how much trouble we'll be in when Kellen is up and running next year!

See... they just look ornery!

Bathtime is absolutely their favorite!! We need a bigger tub!

xoxo Kellen!

Adrian decorating the tree ;)

Yes, ok so I jumped the gun and decorated for Christmas already! Ah, in hopes of getting my spirits raised as we head into our 2nd winter in Ohio. Of course we grew up with this... but after being in FL for so many years, it's hard.. and I swear it's way colder than I remember!

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treating with the little people ;)

We made it to about 5 or 6 houses before melt downs

and run away toddlers.

Look how sweet our little Leopard, Giraffe and Dragon are!

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch on a field trip with Adrian's pre-school class last week and took Preston along. The kids loved it.. we got lucky and the weather was awesome for it too.

I love these tunnel pics... they turned out so cool!

Kellen didn't get to go with us, but the peanut needed a little cameo ;)

Love that face!

Scooter ride

Miss Courtney took this pic of Adrian at school a couple weeks ago.
What a Happy Man!!

Happy Birthday ADRIAN!!

Can't believe our baby boy turned 3 today! He was looking mighty handsome for his birthday. I can usually get a good smiley pic from him.. but not today. All he wanted to do was eat his sucker and not cooperate with me. That's okay tho.. cause it's his birthday!

Such a strong willed little person he is.
Happy Birthday sweetie! XOXO

With his wonderful and patient ;) teachers... Cheryl and Courtney.

Joseph Palermo Sr.

This past Wednesday our grandmother Julia Grosjean's... love and companion of over 10 years, Joe Palermo passed away. He is now resting in peace and will be missed by many! <3

Mini Family Reunion

This past weekend we had a mini reunion with our Kansas fam. It was nice finally introducing all the 2nd cousins to each other. Allll those little boys!
Cousin Bridey and her husband BJ have two beautiful little boys,
Avery and Carter.
That makes a total of 5 little great grandsons for Grandma Julia.. so far.

We don't have the opportunity to see our out of state family that often, so it was great to catch up and have them around.

Hangin out at Aunt Mikki and Tom's

Bridey and Avery

Aunt Bonnie's got her arms full! Preston counting Kellen's fingers?

The boys had so much fun playing in the rocks. As Adrian and Avery shovel the stones and make a mess... Preston was there to sweep it up ;)

Ha.. Preston sneaking in a lil pebble snack.

The boys took an adventure up to the top of the hill.
