Who can resist??

This cute Brownie selling cookies outside of the local Vons on a rainy Sunday afternoon?? Um, only lame rude people, I guess. Didn't dissuade our Jbird.. She was a stellar salesperson shouting after those weirdos who ignored her "THANKS!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!"

I hope this doesn't mean she'll be ringing the Salvation Army bell at Christmas.. I'm thinking chanelling that energy into making millions selling ... whatever her little heart desires... right now, her long term goal is working at an ice cream shop.. and she keeps telling everyone "My dad got fired by giving away free scoops, so you can come visit me, but I can't give you anything for free"

You say you need help filing, Dad?

No problem

Little Leprechaun

another great vintage Joe Benz get-up in honor of St. Patty's day. Happy big 3-0, Auntie Stever, too!

Before the rain..

we were treated to some gorgeous spring-like weather in P-town... We really missed Jbird.. C was getting some exercise looking all over for her as he pulled the empty wagon around..."Jaaaaayeeeee"


chilly as it was, I could only sneak the Elmer Fudd fur hat on whilst he slept..

Ready for our walk.

Campbell loves Uncle Joe

what's not to love? card-playing, lift off to the ceiling, billows, grateful dead... the list is endless..

All grown up

Hard to believe we're the moms now... I am so lucky to have such a great group of High School girl friends.. I only wish we lived closer so our kids could all play sports together like we did (ok, I was totally in it for the road trips and snacks..)

Campbell got to catch up with a few of his Portland buddies on our weekend jaunt home to see Nana B and Big Poppi

Molly's pretty O'Neill ladies, Lily and Ella
The newest addition to the Valley Girls' babies, Owen O! Such an angel.
Campbell and buddy, Kyle... Nancy's handsome little devil. These guys were not super happy with us for dragging them out in the freezing rain to do a jog...there were crocodile tears, cries for MOOOOMMMMMAAAA and arching backs to get out of the stroller.

Softball Season!

No more T-ball for Jbird here! Full-on Softball this season.. girls pitching and all (yes, you can imagine the long games). J is trying her hand at all positions on the PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS (look out!) and loving all of the running around...


of course Campbell is trying to get in on the act... um, ya.. not quite getting the apparatus right just yet...

Non stop

seems that someone is way too busy being a BOY to care about posing for some cute shots for me...

A day in the life of an on-the- go toddler... this last one scared the crap out of me.. literally.. sorry, but god forbid I go tinkle and believe he would stay in the other room and play nicely.. no, Dad forgot to put the gate up at the top of the stairs and someone thought he'd follow Jadyn to school (in a helmet and jammies) slithering down ALL of the stairs without a sound... little sneaker!!!!

Seriously??

Someone here is obsessed... I mean crazy about.. helmets.. and skateboards.. and anything with wheels. I swear, inately born into boys. Campbell refuses to get in the car (or do anything) once we set foot out of the house..without running around with one of Jadyn's helmets on (LIKE THIS.. half on backwards, so he cannot even see) in and around our overflowing (or over-floated as Olivia says) garage.
