the scene of the crime...........

bling received this little squirrel for vday from aunt tely. when we gave her the package with the little squirrel inside, she tore through it to get the squirrel out. she played with that squirrel all night like she was a little puppy again. it was a blast to watch her frolic around the house carrying her new little friend.

the next day when we got home i walked into our bedroom and saw this beautiful beam of sunlight shining on the poor dead squirrel. in true bling fashion..... she extracted the squeaker and then pull the stuffing out. it lay on our bed in the most beautiful beam of sunset light.

the end.

they have so much fun together!

lorin shows milo how to build a table:

as you can see milo was totally into it.


he was squatting next to lorin saying, "i help daddy".... "daddy working"...... and making the noise the drill makes.


then he decided..................


he'd take over!!!!

& he did!


lorin made an awesome workbench for our garage. i'm pretty impressed........ he's pretty impressed and i think it has somehow completed his "manhood" having a workbench. where he can........ um....... work on "stuff."

our trip to visit our family in la la land! we had so much fun visiting with everyone. we all gathered at scottie and victoria's house for lunch and to just hang out. milo loves to see his bubby! scottie pulled out a great big box of old photos and we all enjoyed going through them. it was really cool to watch bubby go through all the old photos..... it was a long trip down memory lane.

milo helped scottie and victoria see what kinda of baby proofing they're gonna be needing in a few months. he was into everything.. as usual! i loved seeing victoria's little belly! she's just started to pop and we're SOOOOO excited they're having a BOY!!!!! one thing that was really funny is a chalk board in their kitchen with possible baby names...... there's some of the funniest names you've ever seen on the board..... homer, hannibel and all sorts of super hilarious combinations! the board is jammed full! i can't wait to see what they really name their little one.

the cute road to their house

beautiful house in the hills. milo loves the koi pond by their front door.

bubby saying hi from memory lane.

victoria & milo :)

milo blowing a horn that bubby brought for him.

he wakes up from his naps FULL of mischief.

playing at the park with tiffany. milo's catching up..... he's finally getting to the age where he can keep up with kids that are a little bit older than him. that's partly from playing with his older cousins every week.

a busy little life. off to play class then over to his buddy logan's house so mommy can go work for awhile.
