up to speed

So, as we know, i am officially the worst blogger on the planet! on a side note i'm also horrible at journal keeping, scrap booking (a skill i have no desire of improving!), and family history. if i even look at the family history website, things start getting messed up! but anyways...

here is one photo per month since i last posted.  or maybe more, if i can't help it.

One of Dahlia's favorite things...

is Photobooth.  She could take pictures for hours (hours in baby time is more than 10 minutes)!  She loves waving, and saying hi to her 'baby friend' (aka, herself).  She even says cheese at the right time!

oh yeah, and i cut my hair ;)

(as if that's not really what this post is about!)

Photo a Day Challenge Part 1

So I decided it would be fun to do this photo a day challenge.  Here are the first 8 photos.

Feb 1.  Your view.  

Dahlia took a 2 hour nap ( a 2 hour nap!!!!!!), so I made use of the time by relaxing, and doing a little bit of nothing.  

It was pure awesome.

Feb 2. Words

We are learning some big words in our house.  In fact, here is a list of some of our favorite words:

owl, hi, hello, boo, momma, daddy, teddy, cow, truck, moon, uh-oh, and bird.

And when I say our, I really mean Dallie's.

Feb 3. Hands

Dahlia's handprint from December 2011.

Feb 4. A Stranger

I don't know that dude.  He looks like he's having a good time.

@Corona Del Mar Beach.

Feb 5.  10am

We were at church.  We can almost make it all the way through Sacrament Meeting without leaving the room.

Almost =)

Feb 6.  Dinner

It was all over the place.

Feb 7. Button

I call this look granny chic.

Or just granny.  Whatever.

Feb 8.  Sun

We love LA in February.  Sunny every day.  And 70 degrees averages.

I get so excited for rainy days.

Can't wait for the next week of pictures!  Woohoo!

it's been awhile...

 we went to the san diego zoo wild animal park not long ago.

and a real blogpost/update is coming soon. 

soon-ish.

probably!

five blogposts in one

So, i decided to save some time and make one HUGE blogpost instead of several (5) mini blogposts. i'm awesome like that.

number 1.  too cute not to photograph.  

She was working it.

 Number 2.  blonde again.

i had to go to maine to get it done. 

California has let me down.  big time.
yes, that is my shower curtain in the background.
yes, i am sitting on the tub.  not in. on.

Number 3. like mother like daughter. 

This is Dahlia wearing the brett t-shirt.  

photos of brett wearing the brett t-shirt coming soon to a blog near you (aka, this one).

Number 4.  Sisters.  

we affectionately refer to each other as 'cc'.  

if you shorten sister to sissy, and then say it like it has two ee's instead of an i (seesy),

then you get it! 

we are wearing stripes.

those are both my shirts.  until i gave that one to brooke. 

now she is wearing her shirt and i am wearing mine.

Number 5.  LA zoo fun.  i am pretty sure that hippo (in the left picture) 

was Dahlia's favorite part of the trip.  mine was the hot dog AND hamburger AND french fries. tyson helped me.

soapbox

children are our future.  anyone who thinks otherwise, is afraid of them, or has chosen to not have anything to do with them, is kidding themselves.

love

our

kids!

the end.
