{beautiful ladies}

i got to spend some time with my sweet friend and snap some pix of her and her beautiful girl.

  

she was wearing one of my favorite colors and I'm totally jealous of thrilled for her that she has these gorgeous shoes!  ;D

 

such a pretty little lady!  the no-teeth stage is so momentous-one to look back at in a few years and cherish.  

 

{'round the neighborhood}

i just can't stop talking about spring!  now that it's here, we have of course been spending more time outside.  while  outside with the kids a couple days ago, i took note of some of the happenin's in our hood.

this mama bird's camping out on our front porch keepin' an eye on us, and away from her babies.  love her beautiful aqua colorings.

these guys are also keepin' an eye on the hood.  they remind me of those old guys on the muppet show theatre.   so they make me smile.

what's happenin' in your hood?

{spring break}

it's spring break around here.  and that makes me think about the vacation that my hubby and i just got back from.

and how i would still like to be there. 

 

 on the beach.  chillin under palm trees.  checking out the wildlife.

 thankful for that time and thankful for pictures to remind me. :D

{pets}

whew!  the weather has changed since the last time i posted and i am loving it!

so...we enjoyed the weather, hopped in the car and drove a few hours to go see my parents over the weekend.  since we're all grown and out of the house, they now have those of the "furry variety" at home to care for.  i love to take pictures of pets, so i whipped my camera out and snapped a few. 

joan didn't care if i had a camera in her face, as long as i left her to bask in the sun .... away from the 3 children who had invaded her house. 

julie followed me around the yard since she knew i had some snacks for her.  she's just so cute and playful.

mimi is the more "mature" of the bunch.  sweet natured and patient with the 3 children who had just invaded her home.  we got to chillax outside in the nice weather a lot with the kiddos.
