Total Dorks

We got to go miniature golfing, it was so fun! We were kinda in a silly mood, and were taking a bunch of pictures with our camera phone. It was a really fun night.



P.S. Mike won. I stunk. (as you can tell by the look of distress on my face in one of these pics, that was only the 1st hole)

Happy Homemaker


These pictures make me feel like a wife from the 50's. I must admit I feel pretty cool picking lemons from my OWN backyard...and you know what, I am a really happy homemaker, maybe not a good one, but definitely happy!

Chloe at 15 months

I know, not a huge milestone, but here are her stats anyways.


19.6 lbs - 5th percentile
29 1/2 in - 25th percentile
She is still tiny as can be. Mike is still concerned she's got dwarfism :)

Words she knows:
no
uh-oh
hi
daddy
goggy (doggy)
all duh (all done)
I - eee (Riley)
da do (thank you)

Our Camping Trip

We were invited to crash our friends annual family camping trip over Memorial Day Weekend. We had a great time, of course!
Here are just some of the things we did:
sat around the fire
hiked
found 13 banana slugs {which our family was too wimpy to touch}
made smores
went to the beach
skipped rocks on the water
saw HUGE trees
watched a squirrel fall from a 30ish ft. tree - twice
ate tons and tons of yummy food
rode the scooters around and around and around...
froze our tushes off just a little
caught a disgustingly huge spider {well, this was more the husbands, but we had fun watching}
surprisingly slept good
watched our kids get sooo dirty, and not even care because they are having so much fun
Loved the entire trip!

My itty bitty garden

I'm so proud that my garden has actually begun to flourish. I planted zucchini, tomatoes, onions, basil & cilantro. Come summer, we'll see it it actually provides some fruits!
Now here's a trivia question for any 'green thumbs' out there:
What on earth is this blossom??
(its growing on a tree in my backyard, I have no clue, although I think its pretty)


Pink butterflies

Riley's never had her face painted before.
She loved it.
I loved it.
Don't you love it?

Beating the Heat

We miss our pool at the apt. But we definitely had a good time in this little pool too! We need to have some friends over next time!

Cute moments

I snapped some pics of my girls yesterday, thought they really captured their little personalities!

Our little pest!


Our neighbors have a orange tree, and everyday we find orange peels in our backyard. We were pretty sure the wind wasn't blowing them, and for a while I thought maybe we had some rude neighbors that were eating, then throwing the peels over the fence.

Well, today we found the culprit. I swear, if they get in my garden, they're toast.
