Saela, Jax & Jilly

Saela trying out Daddy's chair and showing us who is in charge.

Jilly in her favorite place - all snuggled into her bed in our room.

Jax, although comfortable, would rather be outside chasing the ball and his sad face is saying, "Mama, take me OUTSIDE PLEASE!?!?!?!"

Wouldn't You...

...like to...
...know what...
...I'm thinking?

Well let's get on the phone and chat about it - maybe I'll tell you my secrets!

Our Little Tadpole

Our neighbors invited us to spend some time in their pool last Saturday. Saela LOVED swimming. We were flirting with her nap time, hence the smile stinginess at the beginning of the adventure - but after awhile she began doling them out for us. She really seemed to enjoy the water - just as she enjoys her bath!

The Buick Open

Before Round 3 on Saturday

After Round 3...
...guess I just needed a nap!

Before Round 4 on Sunday...

...I'm ready to go this time!

Saela experienced her first golf tournament this weekend. We were able to attend the Buick Open for a few hours yesterday and today. She took a few naps and overall behaved beautifully. We stayed at the 17th hole - which is a fairly rowdy hole - so she didn't have to be too quiet. The weather was beautiful both days and it was really nice to be outside. We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend just as much!

TEN MONTHS!!!

Saela and I spent the day hanging out today while Steve cleared out some of our backyard where we will lay sod in the future. I can hardly believe that our baby girl is ten months old today! She is just awesome - no other words to explain how much joy she brings to our lives on a daily basis! Here are some pictures from our day.

Hey Mom, I think I'd like to see what's up here on the table.

This remote control and phone look interesting.

I don't think these will keep me entertained very long though.

I don't know, Mom, what do you think we should do?

Yeah, yeah - let's play pots & pans!

Better Late Than Never...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! (TO ALL DADS)

Okay, I know - I was all over the Mother's Day post and this one may seem a bit late. To my credit (and you'll have to take my word on this), I did try to post last Sunday and Blogger was having an issue with my cookies being enabled/disabled or whatever - so this obviously did not get posted on Father's Day. For the remainder of the week, however, I have no real good excuse for not getting this up sooner. The weeks just fly by and before you know it another has come and gone. We were able to spend Steve's first Father's Day with his parents - which was a nice relaxing time. Saela got Steve a picture for his desk that says "Love you Dad" and a basketball hoop (with my help.) I'm sure many hours will be spent teaching Saela (and me) how to properly shoot a basketball. We had some friends over last night and I was the first one out in the first game of "PIG." Steve of course won - as it should be for the first game on your own hoop. I am sure the basketball hoop will be a gift that keeps on giving - for years to come. If you're in the area - stop on by to check it out!

I See Something...

...I like to chew Jax & Jilly's toys too - but Mom and Dad are too quick - they saved this one from my mouth just in time!
