Two Peas

We went to the park and I had to bribe our children for these two pictures...which I think turned out rather nice.  Boy the things you can get with chocolate!!  Amy and I each have our favorites.  I like the one of Ace with a happy smile and Talitha's sillyness where Amy prefers the other because she thinks it shows more of Ace's personality right now.

Really -  They're both cute!!

Our Dourgarian Family

 Amy and the kids came to visit last week.  Tommy had a business trip up here and stopped by for a night too.  We had so much fun!  Here are just a few from their visit.

Summer Rain

We have had many HOT days this summer.  Then all a sudden last week it finally cooled off for a few days and we even got some much needed rain.  Our family decided to take an evening walk after dinner to see if we could do any puddle stomping!  Sorry, I didn't get any good pictures of me or Noe.....I rarely do.  I'm always so caught up in my kids...I often forget about us. 

Just a couple of cuties~

 This is my SUPER FAVORITE picture of Noemi!  I love how this one turned out~

Cousins from Walla Walla came for a visit!

 I love this one.  First time I've ever got the two of them both looking at me and smiling at the same time!!

 Maritza and Noemi

 Little cousin Damien

 Best Buds....Make your best pirate face~

 Super Cute!

 Woo Hoo!

 The second day here Maritza broke her leg on Talitha's scooter.  Poor thing couldn't do much the rest of their trip here! 

 I don't know why it never fails.  We always wait until the last day early in the morning - no make up - barely awake - to decide to take family pictures!

Family Photo Fun

I set up my camera and lights in our back yard today for some self portraits.  Here is a couple.  I'm not so happy with the results because the girls insisted on wearing their white dresses and they are a little washed out.  I'm planning on some retakes later this afternoon after naps.  Keep a watch in the mail for the final product.  I'll be sending some out soon!   Love You All!!

Front Yard Fun

 LOOK! At all the strawberries we have!! We have 2 more huge pots ~ Yummy I can't wait!!

The girls found a rolly polly!
