Wow, it's been awhile since I last posted! Seems like since we got the puppy, I've either been out in the yard waiting for him to do his business, or I've been too exhausted to do anything by the time we get the girls in bed. (I've also gotten a little addicted to Facebook, and have been spending a little time browsing around on there!)
Mia and Claire both have birthdays in July. First Mia's ---
Mia chose to do Diego again this year, and picked these Diego muffin cups and red Valentine hearts. Once she saw that I had made cupcakes, she said "Where's my cake? I wanted cake." Oh well, maybe she'll understand a little better next year.
And then Claire's birthday 8 days later ---
Claire made and decorated her Tinkerbell cake herself - the yellow sprinkles are supposed to be fairy dust. It was delicious - especially with Birthday Cake ice cream - I love that stuff!
The weekend in between we went over to Aunt Jan and Uncle Dino's house and got together with the girls' cousins, Jordan and Payton. They are the same ages as Claire and Mia, but we had never met them. The kids had so much fun!
Playing in the jetted tub.
Dino took them out in the boat and pulled them in the tube -
Mia and Uncle Joey.
Jordan and Claire catching air.
(We also made beaded watches and necklaces. I could do that for hours!)
And then Aunt Jan gave the girls a big birthday Luau!
They are all so cute.
Hula dancing with Uncle Dino.
Claire and Jordan became BFFs.
I bet Aunt Jan took a LONG nap after we all left!

A few random photos
Here are a few photos from the last week. I stayed home with the dog a lot this weekend, and we just had a big ol' mutual admiration fest! Since I give him the most attention and affection, I am his person, and that's okay with me! I even got to read a little, as he slept under my lawn chair. I thought it would be cute to take some pictures of him in one of Claire's old wagons, but could not get him to stay in.
The girls made some chocolate chip cookies, and they were yummy. They gave most of them away to the neighbors, whose puppy is sick.
I came home from work one day last week to find Mia napping on the porch - ouch! This doesn't look too comfortable!

FFF - A few favorites
Well, the Favorite Foto Friday theme for today is supposed to be Red, White & Blue, but I forgot my camera, and didn't take any pictures of the girls on the 4th :-(, so I thought I'd just post a few of my favorites from this past week. The ones of Mia and me were taken by Claire, our budding photographer. And, of course, I had to throw in some of Andy. I'm totally smitten by this puppy, even though he's a LOT of work. Boy, I hope he finishes this potty training soon. I can't wait to hold him on my lap in the evenings, and just spend relaxing time with him in the house, but he's not too trustworthy yet and we do a lot of running outside with him - and we've still cleaned up many accidents! (We should have bought stock in the Bounty Paper Towel company!) But he's doing really well once he gets out there, and pretty much always goes, so I think he's starting to get the idea.
Not great of me or Mia, but Andy was posing cutely!
This white patch on her cheek is driving me crazy - anyone know of something that will help take these away? I read about them on Guatadopt, but I can't remember the name of the cream that some said was really good...

Have a good weekend!
