today, right now-- Julian messing with an old kodak brownie camera that my dad bought me from a flea market many years ago

I'm not a girly girl when it comes to flowers - I really dont like them at all except orchids, lillies, & one other type, which the name escapes me @ this moment. But as I've gotten older I have come to enjoy fresh flowers (only the 3 kind I like) in our house. However, we arent enjoying their natural aroma, haha. Jer usually buys them for me... It's nice & they look pretty... See... My lillies starting to bloom:

today ju & mommy painted pictures, took a bubble bath & played "vampire & dungeon", which mommy will have to explain to the rest of you later..

I Heart Your Face -- Android/Black and White Series, 6.8.10

I could seriously take photos of my child's face all day long.  Jeremy once said, "Are you going to take pictures of something else besides his head?"  And I thought, "No.. I'm not.  That little head is just too cute." 

He's the most beautiful thing to me in this entire world.  Julian may not have that stereotypical Gerber baby beauty, but he's something to look at I tell you.  He's a nice little mix with great contrast.  Love it... Love him...

Droolian Julian

He was whining about something here.. And he looks like a furry Who, haha.

Jer thinks he looks like a Dust bowl victim...

Field Trip to Library Park, Fremont -- 6.4.10

Teacher Marsha planned a field trip to the library's new park that was still being built.  We had the kids act as if they were building inspectors and check things off that they saw.  After that we had a picnic lunch under the trees and Teacher Marsha read the children a story... Good times!

Teacher Marsha handing out items a building inspector would need - clipboard, binoculars made out of toilet paper rolls, pens and clipboards and a tape measure.

Showing the kids what they should look for -- slides, swings, bench, etc.

Yes, I know my kids' shirt is on backwards.  You learn very quickly when you are the mother of a headstrong 3 year old to pick your battles very carefully.  Let them win the smalls battles, and you'll win the war.

Story time with Teacher Marsha

He should be the poster child for our school

I Heart Your Face -- Horton Hears the Who Series, 6.3.10

In the I heart your face series Julian was acting like he was Horton from Horton Hears the Who and was trying to talk to the Mayor in the flower.... He also kept smelling the flower deeply and going "ahhhhhhh".  It was very cute.

Julian eating a plum from our plum tree...

"Mayor, are you there?  It's me... Horton"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
