Tutu feature

What an honor! See... Facebook is good for something. I posted to her Facebook page and in turn, was honored.

My mission, birthday date, pee, Cali and more...

Long overdue at updating. We were in Cali for 12 days so I'll try to catch things up in one post. First my mission~ learn how to blog better and more efficiently. Use the tools better like having captions right under the photos and maybe even those slide show and links to things I talk about. It's a process...

Anyway after Crested Butte, my 39th (I mean 29th) birthday came. Boyd and Ohana were my dates! We had lunch at the Med and walked the Pearl St. Mall in Boulder. It was a lovely day.

We have been playing with potty training Rigel. He had a small success in the right direction. He sat on the potty and peed- now only if the pee would land IN the potty and not all across the bathroom rug- yuck! We did update his potty to have more of a "splash guard" thanks to Ikea!

Which is a great transition in to our Cali trip. We made it to the beach and the mountains. We are lacking photos, but we were there. There is one of a kind of planned outfit matching with my mom. She bought her dress and Ohana's romper and we just happened to have this shirt along for Rigel. Picture perfect.

Whew... probably enough for now... but wait... how could I forget the puppies!!!!!

Pipers pups are 6 weeks old and the cutest darn little doggies you have ever seen. They all seem to have her sweet and yes MELLOW temperament. Yes they play, they are puppies, but really they are so calm and sweet. We are NOT keeping any. But one could be yours! Just call me! They are goldendoodles so shedding will be to a very minimum if at all.

Tongue and Toes

Her latest obsessions are sticking her tongue out pointy and sucking those cute toes!

His long locks

All of you who have seen Rigel know of his beautiful golden curls. They have been getting pretty long in back, so long, that they can be braided and that braid stays for days! I love his hair and have secret dreams of him in baby gap ads. So today I cut the curly tail. I saved it. So for you Kristy it is done. And Vic, I'm sorry we didn't let it go no matter what, but I guess if baby gap discovers him it had to be done. It did hurt me more than him. The last photo is the after, not that you can tell so much.

Crested Butte Highlights

We took the challenge to help our friend Kristy with her girls while she taught tap at Dansummer in CB. The setting was amazing. Many wildflowers and many wild kid moments. All in all we survived, even Ohana's growth spurt of 3 nights eating every 2 hours!!!!! That wasn't fun. But Rigel got his fill of the girls. He loves them so much, sometimes too much!

standin' droolin' buildn' drivin'

A lot going on with the kidlets... Ohana is a drool machine! No teeth since big brother did the same. Just lots o' drool. She also like to go stiff leg so with a little support, she can stand on her own! Rigel is into so much (in a good way) building with his mega blocks and the trains!!!!!! My sister saved all their train stuff (a ton!) and he gets to make Sodor Island (the place where Thomas the train lives) in our living room.

Chasin' Chicks!

Yes Rigel was chasing chicks yesterday! We had the pleasure of spending time with the Dolenc family and four of their new chicks. Dinner was yummy but friends were better!
