January

Can it seriously be February already? It seems like my life is never going to slow down. Enzo finally turned 4 on the 12 of January. Poor kid felt like he was never going to have a birthday after watching and going to everyone else's. Enzo was grinning ear to ear as soon as he woke up the day of his party. He ran into where I was and started running in circles saying "Mommy Im 4, Mommy Im 4" For his birthday we took him to Round table for pizza. Gino and Shannon and their kids joined us. We let the kids play games and had a lot of fun. After we hurried home for cake and Ice Cream. That Saturday we invited a few of Enzo's friends and cousins over for a Lightning McQueen birthday party. Im glad I had so much help because it was really exhausting. We played throw the bean bag & Frisbee in the tire, Musical Chairs, Pin the Wheel on the Hot Rod and at the end had a pinanta. Seeing Enzo's face made everything worth it. He was so happy to have a day all about him.


Check out this awesome cake made by my sis-in-law Holly.

Kaelyn's birthday and vegas

This year Kaelyns birthday ended up being the week of my friend Lindsay's wedding in Vegas. We tired to make it special because we drove all day on her birthday. That night we went bowling and went to Panda Express. (Her choice) They had so much fun! She lucked out because grandma and grandpa came with us and so they were able to celebrate with us and play too! We had a lot of fun while in Vegas. It was nice to see friends and spend time with my parents! Lindsay was a beautiful bride and hopefully we can all get together again soon!

Kaelyn and Enzo gave each other a high five after each turn. They were so fun to watch.

Little Lucas turns 1

Ok so I have been completely busy and finally have a sec and so I thought I would do a post about our little Lucas! He turned 1 on November 6th and he's growing up so fast. It amazes me how kids can be so different. I love to see our kids personalities show. Lucas has been such a sweet little baby. He loves playing with his siblings, especially with Enzo when Enzo will share his cars. He's saying a few words like thank you, love you, Hello and his favorite Dada. He has recently started standing on his own, so it will be a few more months till he's walking. We had a fun birthday party with Mark and I's family to celebrate him turning 1. We barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs and had Chocolate cake. Of course he didn't want anything to do with the cake. We love our little guy to pieces!!!

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love going all out on their costumes. We had a lot of fun going to my moms ward and ours for games, and trunk or treats on Friday and Sat. Halloween night instead of trick or treating we decorated cookies, made a halloween craft, and ate some yummy desserts! We are getting excited for the fun things coming up in the next few months. Birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Mark is currently home for his month long vacation and we are really enjoying him being home!

First haircut

Our little baby isn't really a baby anymore. He's growing up so fast. A few weeks ago Mark cut his hair and seriously when I first looked at him he looked like a different kid. His light brown hair is gone now. He looks more like his big brother and a big boy. He's been crawling for a while now and he's learned to pull himself up to stand. He has his 2 bottom teeth and is currently working on the top ones. Any day now they will make their appearance! Enzo and Lucas have been playing more and more together and that usually means Enzo gets mad cause Lucas takes his cars. I know this is only the beginning, but I love to see them playing together!


Before




After

Kaelyn is in the 1st grade!

On August 16 Kaelyn started Berenda as a 1st grader. We are so excited for her! Her friends down the street that are in our ward go there and couple other friends from the ward too. She has a great teacher that I love and so does Kaelyn. If you didn't know Mark went to Berenda too so it's nice to walk around and hear his childhood memories and see the teachers that are still there. Kaelyns teacher actually had Nick (Marks brother) as a student. We love that we can walk to the school too. Eventually we plan on riding bikes. Kaelyn just started riding her bike without training wheels! We are so excited to see what this school year will bring and look forward to watching Kaelyn grow!

The Cosentino's first camping trip

Yeah so I never thought we would go camping. Especially not with a 9 month old, but we did and had so much fun considering it was freezing and our tent was right under a tree and the weather was really weird so it sounded like it was raining all night and I couldn't sleep. But yeah we had a blast. Our kids had a lot of fun and got very dirty. It brought back a lot of memories camping as a kid. For some reason it didn't seem as much work back then. We went with friends and it was a lot of fun visiting with them. Here are a few pics. I didn't get really any of us as a family.... it was to cold to think I guess.



The next morning we went to the beach and we were all exhausted. I wish I would of took some pics but I didn't want sand in my camera lens. So I took the picture of the kids off of Stacy's blog.

Look at all these cute kids!


We can't wait for our next camping trip... hopefully we will be more prepared! :)
