Funny story

Charlie, the dog, is GIGANTIC. He weighs about 100lbs and is still only 1 1/2 yrs old. In most people's eyes, he is a crazed lunatic but when he is home with just us, he is great. He is so gentle with little Cameron. Here Cameron is on his little mat with Charlie visiting. See the progression of the events. Owen and Gizmo join the crowd so I removed Cam from the Owen/Charlie pairing and look what happened.

Reading time!

Photo time!

We had a great visit with the Mastrantuono family who were out for a nice vacation. Cameron got some great love from the boys. The rest of the pictures are from a little photo shoot on the bed one morning. We had a lot of fun...you may recognize the setting as that of the photo on Cam's birth announcement.

Fourth of July Weekend

Fourth of July weekend was amazing. We were lucky enough to have my sister and her beautiful family out for a few days AND a visit from our neighbors from Maricopa, the Pembertons. It was great! On Friday, Sarah, Paul and I took the kids to La Jolla Shores for some playtime at the beach. Other than the HORRIBLE parking situation, the trip was a huge success. The boys had so much fun digging holes and playing in the water. Owen and Lukas had us cracking up because they were silently wrestling forever!!! They got so covered in sand!! On Saturday, we went over to Lake Murray (near our home), set up blankets and chairs and watched the fireworks. It was PERFECT...the kind of holidays you dream of. We were joined by the Germs, the Pembertons, Bill Homan, & the Sweeneys. I loved it and got really emotional during the fireworks as I looked around at my wonderful family and friends. I am blessed...truly blessed.

My true loves #2, #3, & #4.....Eddie is #1.

A Trip to the Zoo!

I was a brave woman today and took all three kidlets to the zoo! I only planned to go for a few hours but...well, THAT didn't happen. At 7:30pm I pushed a stroller with two tired kids and carried one tired infant in a sling, back to the car that was lost in the endless parking lot. Then, WHAM!, I got stung by a bee on my right foot! I was trying to be brave and not scream & cry because I didn't want my kids to be scared of bees but.....OUCH!!!!
