Splashy surprise.

My little buddy Eli is getting so big! He loves bathtime because he can splash his feet in the water. He just kicks away and is surprised everytime by the splashing and noise created! (see picture to right!!) No, he isn't that pale...I just overexposed for fun. I think it makes his eyes look neato.

sister, sister.

I am going to have 2 more siblings come November! My dad called me today to tell me that my stepmother Angie is pregnant with twins. Due 12/19/08 but twins are usually about 4 weeks early....so Berlin and Eli are going to have more Aunts or Uncles. A little different but yay for babies. :D

New Do.

SO, I dyed my hair. This is the first time I've dyed it with something other than washout temporary dye. I was so nervous! Anyway, I went with a brighter red and some blonde. I wanted a little more blonde than what I got, so next time I'll be adding a bit more... AND since I was taking a picture of myself, I took a couple of Eli too!

I love it!
Happy boy!
The top one is his 'pensive look'...what do you think?

Dog Days.

Well, I've been dealing with dog issues all day today. Got almost no sleep last night and in a pretty crap mood right now. But, I was babysitting earlier and got a few cute pictures and the past few days Berlin has been able to play outside because of nice weather. Went for a walk at ForMar nature preserve yesterday...I actually got a sunburn. Here are a couple pictures:

Berlin and Eva coloring with chalk.

Come on guys!

67 and sunny!

Later in the afternoon I took Berlin outside to play with her chalk and ride her Barbie tricycle on this gorgeous day! I know that the rest of the week isn't supposed to be as nice so I enjoyed it while I could. Here are a few:

talking with her monkey.
vroom. she was singing the whole time she was riding.
drawing the sunshine.
half covered in chalk but happy :D
Thank you God for a beautiful day!

Me!

Smiles Part Deux.

And these are not to be judged photographically! Ha ha. I was making silly faces and trying to get him to laugh. These are from last week.

I must be pretty silly.

I love my kids.

Ah, my lovely Berlin. She keeps me on my toes! Today she wanted to play with my umbrella so I broke out my camera to get a couple shots in and then I couldn't put it down! After actually breaking my umbrella, she proceeded to organize Eli's stuffed animals in a row...lined up on either side of his head. Hilarious! AND of course, when I tried to take his picture...she was not having that. You'll see below the in my face shot. :D Gotta love her!!

Ms. Attitude.

NO, take my picture!

She moved the animals and had to lay down next to him :D
Entertaining. Eli has a silly sister.


Awwww. He is holding himself up pretty good.
:D
I will probably get comments that this is creepy...but i like it.
