Kellen cuts his hair :(

Kellen cut a huge chunk of his hair off, right in the front of his head. The only solution was to get a buzz cut. I have always wondered what the boys would look like with a buzz cut (they are so easy). Not my favorite, but it is what it is!

A Quick Poll

I am honestly asking your advice out there. I just can't decide how I like Brennen's hair best-please leave a comment to let me know your opinion. Short...


or long?

Sorry folks, the Dean's have arrived and there is no more room...

We have been enjoying fabulous weather these past few days, 70's+. We are spending every second we can outside! This is just a little park down the street and we kind of take it over...

No swings left for anyone else!

My daredevil, jumping out of her swing!

Playing a little basketball.

Being a good big sister!

Brennen, I don't understand this fashion statement!

I came down from putting Charlotta down for nap and this is what I found...


"Look mama, Mickey ears!" (why are they on your back?)

Oh, Charlotta!

We were just filling up the bathtub and Charlotta could not wait to get into the tub! We went into the hallway to get Brennen undressed and she slipped right in, boots and all! She was not getting out (so I could take off her clothes) or missing her bath time for anything.

More nice weather

Since the weather was so nice today, everybody was outside. Our front door was a revolving door of friends. Here is a snapshot of just a few who were here today!

Friends, paella, and nice wether!

Skylar and her best friend, Jessica playing games during their sleepover (James always wants to play along).


Charlotta is crazy about being outside. She just runs around on the deck for hours. She screams at the door to go outside! So, finally some really nice weather for her to play outside in. She is so happy!

Brennen decides to join her...



Another of Charlotta's favorites--the dogs! She just loves dogs. Getting kisses...

Giving nice touches...

Happy as can be.

When Papa is home, he loves to cook nice meals for us. Tonight, I asked for one of my favorites-paella. It was delicious and all of the kids agreed--even Jessica!


Kellen thought the mussels were top notch!

Must have more...

Even baby girl loved it!
