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.

it's official...

Pinterest and Etsy have taken over blogging.  

And I'm ok with that!
This is also quickly turning into a baby blog.  That i'm not sure i'm so okay with!  haha.

And number 46

Bam.  

Take that, LA.

Blog entry # 45

This is the first time Dahlia has had a bath in the 'big girl bathtub.'  We wanted to make it fun for her - like she was swimming.  So Ty got in there with her.  dahlia did not really know what to think of it.  At first she wouldn't even bend her little legs to sit down.

We went to the Los Angeles Temple.  It was so pretty, even though it was raining, and cold, and night time.  PS, the visitor's center there is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

I think I'm gonna chop this hair of mine.

And bleach the you-know-what out of it.

And here's Dallie being colorful and cute.  As always =)

a baby, a broken rule, and a quick before and after

Bumbo time with Daddy!

I don't even know why this is a 'rule' of mine... but I usually steer clear of these super flared jeans with vans.  So, I got all crazy one night, and just went for it.  I know, right?!  Living so close to the edge! 

This one's for you, elaine!

And then i was having so much fun with the tripod, that Dallie wanted in.  It took about 5 tries to get a photo of both of us.
