Uncanny resemblance?

Before we welcomed our little brother into the world Grandma M bought sister a Bitty Baby Boy thinking that it would be fun for the both her and I to carry around little boys. Who would have thought that 2 years later the doll and the little boy would resemble each other so closely (sans clothes)??

Weekend hiking

Now that dad isn't constantly working on the house we've had some spare family time on the weekend, and it's been GREAT!! Many of the past few weekends we've hiked to a little spot about a 5 minute drive from our house. It's a short hike but we get away from all the houses and most of the people. Best of all we've found a simi private spot that we can play on the edge of a steam and let the kids get dirty.

Here is little brother doing what he does best, throwing rocks...

Sister finding a big one to contribute
And of course dad doing what he does best, keeping himself busy (building a rock dam)
I'm so grateful to live in a beautiful place where we are able to be in the city and so close to nature at the same time, and great weather that allows us to be outside year round . Pretty perfect if you ask me.

Little brother's first Dodger game

This is the only picture we got to remember the moment. He lasted longer than we thought he would but there definitely came a point where the seats were just too close together for a little boy.

A silly girl for a silly party

Big sister was invited to an April Fools party a few months back. They were asked to dress silly.

It doesn't get more silly than this

My new favorite pictures

A few more great pictures from Grandpa's camera

This might be my favorite picture of little brother of all time
Oh, the power of a good camera (and a good photographer)!!
