Happy Cotton Anniversary

Two years... feels like we've been together forever, but then again, it all flew by.. just like it all does, right? After a long day of work for both of us, we put on our wedding dresses, (Jbird and I) spur of the moment....talk about a few laughs!! um, ya, the dress still has dirt and wine stains from the ACTUAL July 29th... and is a little hard to zip (the seamstress's voice in my ear saying "don't eat another bite, it won't zip!")...and is kind of a different "feeling" with a baby trying to pull the fake boob cutlets out of the top and the rhinestones off of the straps... We had cousin Kaia be the photographer.. and put on the wedding soundtrack..danced around and were silly...and of course told Campbell all about it and everything he (thankfully) missed out on! Justin made "surf and turf" we had some bubbly and a nice celebration with everyone. We were saying we wish we had a big house, could have all of our friends over and celebrate like this every year... maybe one of these July 29ths!




One more month....



..till C is ONE!!!I cannot believe it's 11 months. Campbell is such a little man.. crawling all over.. saying Jadyn.. (day-dun) and the occassional dada and moma.. we swear he will call me Bibif. Happy Birthday to our friend, Kyle Nichols.. exactly one month apart!

Spools o fun


Another strange coincidence.. Campbell was having a BLAST playing with empty ribbon spools as I tried (unsuccessfully) to organize my crafts. When we were babies, Grandma (Dolo) had a big box of wooden spools that we played with as 'toys'... Project Runway here he comes.

Two Toofs

Campbell's always waiting for me when he wakes from a nap, jumping up and down, blaring his baby stereo (that music box thing behind him that plays baby Mozart, Beethoven and something else.. he pushes all the buttons upon waking) showing me his big ol' toothy grin.... Random, I just thought of this little tid bit from our circle of life: these were the first two teeth (in her mouth, of course) that Jadyn lost.

Summer school field trip






We are so lucky to have Palms Ranch in the 'family'... Campbell loves the tractor (as do the girls.. they ride in the back and let the wind blow through their hair.. really believing that the breaks are going to go out and they're going to fly through the hills of avocado and citrus fields on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride) and he loves Copoline, the black lab.. not so sure of Ziggy the (gross fat) pig, the ducks, the chickens or the goats... but Shelby is right at home and loves even the new baby...rats... I declined a view of these buddies.

Felicitations (how do you say en espanol?) Brooke and Micah!

Our favorite juggler (jungler as Jadyn says) and Campbell's first cougar crush finally tied the knot and had a mighty fun backyard fiesta celebration to kick off the wedded bliss!
Another fine vintage look on CGH. Someone asked where this yacht club is that we belong to.. San Marcos-by-the-sea, ever heard of it???

Little man

Pulling up on everything... getting into mischief...our little toe-head...
and ps. why do they call blondes "toe heads" ????
