(Just had to capture that little red polka dot onesie.)

st.bernard puppies

Uncle Ryan keeps scoring major points for my girls while we are here in California. His buddy from work, Dave, and his girlfriend helped rescure two abandoned St. Bernard dogs they found in a foreclosed house in their neighborhood. The dogs are male and female and they thought they had kept them apart during the female's fertile days of the month...but alas, she became pregnant and had eight tiny puppies! Ryan scheduled a visit for the girls and it was just the funnest little scene! (Those puppies are light! Lots of fluff, but they weighed barely anything).

I can't pass a thrift store and not go in. And Stockton has got, like, ten different ones! I'm terrible, like Murial. It's too much fun to find tutus and costume stuff for the girls' dress up chest. This last trip I found Myka a full cheetah body suit- she loves to be a cheetah these days- and it cost me a whopping $1.97 (insert wildcat growl here).

12pm @ the sacramento airport

(waiting....waiting...)



There he is! At 12pm this past Wednesday, my little brother, Jeff, descended the escalator at the Sacramento Airport and came home safe and sound from his LDS mission to Canada.




















Yay! Uncle Jeff is finally home!

baby & mamma

Josy is 11 months old. She likes to stand by herself and to crawl after her big sisters, wherever they may go. Her soft baby skin is so wonderful to kiss and squeeze- especially her many rolls. I am grateful for this little chub chub in our lives!

sunday best

There is something that I love about getting all dressed up on Sunday morning to attend church. It is traditional and perhaps old fashioned but I really like seeing my girls all shiny clean and in their dresses. And then after church they are all set for pictures...perfect!
