today i got antibiotics...

hella stoked!!!! ive been enduring this double ear infection for far too long now...it all started last week when i slammed my own head into the corner of my car doing simply getting in. (my poor equilibrium) i mean SlAMMED it!! like..i had half an egg on my forehead for 3 days. and that didnt make my already excruciating headache any better..anyways..ive been "off" to say the least...but not for long!!!

i like wine and cheese

thank goodness for lame still life photo projects...what a fabulous excuse to sit down and eat cheese for dinner!







this is right after brandon tackled the huge shrub in the front yard. dude! he was so manly out there with his saw chopping everything down and hacking away at roots..drinking his beer...but it will be intersting to see what happens to the front yard now.
and this is avery peeing in the garden...after running off with a pear.
and then we went downtown for ice cream!!!!

first day of soccer

Juniper had a blast. she has changed so much since last year its incredible.she has gotten so brave! (well..brave for juniper means she didnt watch the entire time)

this was averys first real activity.. and i thought he was going to be STOKED about soccer...but he wasnt. he was more into his bagel and cream cheese. we left early. the little turd. but we will go again next week and see...

note the ballerina kicking pose. man...shes such a girly girl.




"ok..i kicked it..can i go eat my bagel now??" which..by the way..was his second breakfast...

first rain of the year...

last week it rained. it was awesome. i wonder if avery even remembers the rain from last year...by the look on his face, and his excitement, i think he had forgotten.

a book

im reading this in 5 minute intervals about 4 times a day.(No, for reals). but it amazes me how my brain just picks up where i left off. anyways...its beautiful. thanks jules.

card board sliding!!!

a beautiful day out on the farm....with a little help from photoshop! my new class is cool for stuff like this...but its also really weird for me to change stuff on pictures. its like..thats totally not the picture you took...so its not really photography at all. but its still cool. i just changed the colors on this...it looks like a claratin add to me.


good ol fashioned fun... i grew up doing shit like this all day long.

1st day of school

this week juniper started preschool again. aden is in her class . yay! It was so cute, they were sitting there on the rug at "circle time" and the teacher said
"The letter of the week is A! does anyone have the letter A in their name?"
Aden raised his hand,
"I have an A in my name!"
juniper looks over at aden....
"I dont have an A in my name"
He puts her arm around her, leans in ..
"its Ok Junie, i love you"

she HAD to wear her purple dress and leopard shoes. it was so funny! But i didnt say a word..

big guy jumped in at the last minute! ms. maureen!!



avery hugging juniper goodbye. "bye bye junie"



aden's crew. what a lucky dude.

all i have to say is....

its been day 3 of no pee pee or poo poo in da pants!!! Uh, averys pants that is.




i went to the courthouse in oakland today to get a copy of averys birth certificate so he can do the little kids program at the preschool. (gingersnaps)
He gets so sad when he has to leave juniper at school. he wants to stay so bad. its so cute..until i have to pick him up and carry him flailing and screaming all the way to the parking lot. man...hes a stubborn little dude.
