our visit with tely & joe in the treeeeeeeeeeees

what a wonderful magical house!  we took a journey to another world where the view is amazing and the air is fresh fresh fresh.  the front of the cute cozy 1970s treehouse cottage faces the ocean from way way up and the back faces the canyon.  we had a lovely evening hanging out and exploring their new nest.

a shoulder ride!

tosh is such a cute little peanut!

the birthday boy Avrum!  his mommy had to wake him from his nap to get him back to partying.  

mr.  rowan!  happy little man!  i can't believe all of these adorable little guys it's so fun to watch them grow!

on our way to the next party..... the boss needs his rest!

his HAIR!

so a few weeks ago i gave milo a bad bang trim. i was trying to take just a tiny bit off the ends...... but...... i cut too much and too crooked. lorin was not pleased with my "art". i know you may be thinking i should just take the poor child for a real haircut but we love that his hair is just free and does what it wants. lol! it makes us smile.

this is the morning after the cut, after daddy told him i messed his hair up.


trying to capture the front


the back is all mother nature... we call it "birds nest" and it looks especially lovely when he wakes up in the morning.


little poser!


his personal stylist....... moi!


this is how he wakes up in the morning. it's so cute when i go get him from his crib and he's standing up with his hair all crazy and he's smiling....... awwwww..... melt my heart!

a baby shower and a horse.....

milo got to meet a horse at our friends baby shower. he was so excited and was even doing his little horse sound.



he was brave and reached out and touched the horse on it's nose.


he rode on a tire swing pony and loved it!



& of course had a blast in the bounce house with a slide!

now we're just waiting on the news for our friends baby to arrive....... "it's a BOY"...... of course....... right?

train rides!

we had so much fun doing the train rides with auntie tia, ada and calvin! milo has named auntie christina "tia" it's so cute how he says and it i think it's gonna stick! we even waited in line again and went with julian...... but the second time around was not as much fun cause milo kept trying to jump ship! ha ha!

we took a walk on a drizzly day and this is what happened.






when we got home i caught milo peacefully munching on bling blings dog food like it was a bowl of gold fish crackers. i had to take a picture....... and then i took the bowl away.
