LUKE!!!! 
He was the most uncooperative baby. 
Pulled off all his spots.
Screamed every time I tried to put on his sign.
And scowled at his cow ears.
So, he was my little white cow...

The Ferocious Dixie Dog

Dixie tries to be ferocious with her deep, rumbling dog bark, and her proud, defensive stance...
But we know she's nothing but a big softie.
It's been a year since we've had Dixie and if I could go back I wouldn't change a thing.
We love her SOOO much!
While I got started on Maggie's hair this morning, Rachel decided to give Dixie a hair-do.
I heard endless and quite  hysterical laughing coming from downstairs and decided to check it out....

Luke wants in on the action and is pretty territorial about Dixie! haha!
"Get off her! She's mine!"
We love you Dixie dog!
Now come here Miss Rachel and let me do YOUR hair! :)

America the Beautiful!

So growing up I had two favorite holidays... wait three... Christmas, Easter, and The Fourth of July (with the Fourth of July being the front runner)
There's just so many things about it! First of all it's in my birthday month!!! 
July is the best. That's it and that's all.
Second it's the summer. Hot. Pools. Watermelon. Root Beer. Ain't nothin better.
And now that I'm a Mom it's my favorite because it's no STRESS.
Ahhhh sweet no stress holidays! haha!

We had visitors for this fourth of July! 
Jacob, Itzel, Elijah, and Ila came to see us!!!
Oh how the kids were in heaven.
So much cousin love.
Just look at those tu-tu girls!

Slides are the bomb diggity.

Maggie was being a stinker and wouldn't give me a smile, so I took one of her backside instead.
heehee... cutest little toosh ever!

My water baby did this the whole entire time we were there and insisted to have someone watch her 
every time. Thankfully we had lots of fans with us that day.
This is my favorite by far!!!

She almost made it all the way across! 
She'll definitely get it next time!

Maggie's busted lip cracks me up! 
She got it wrestling Dixie.

My brave boy loved holding the sparklers!

He also gave them a good scowl the entire time he was holding them.
haha! 
Baby scowls are the best.
