snowflakes

No, it’s not snowing in August here. In fact, I don’t think it ever snows here, so titles about snow will probably not mean anything unless we visit UT (which we may for Thanksgiving, but don’t anyone get their hopes up!!)

We just got a letter stating that Russ has been found “not guilty” for a traffic ticket he got back in March. Which means we’re getting back the $200 bail from the ticket that we had to pay – hooray!

So I guess it’s really money that we had spent anyway, so in reality we’re not getting any NEW money, but since we figured that we had already spent the money, this is like extra cash! Hooray! So I’m pretty sure we’re going to buy a camera with some of it. Not a super nice DSLR, probably just a little point and shoot like the one we had.

 

And I’m getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday morning… wish me luck!

Army Ball - June 13, 2009

This was our first night out after Joseline was born. We went to the Army Ball. It was fabulous. Mostly it was just really fun to dress up. The food was great, too! I have to admit, I think Russ’ hair is a little short in this picture. He looks better with a little more hair, but we just cut his hair that night, so it hadn’t had a chance to grow in a little more. We splurged and bought pictures. Just the 5x7 and some wallets. It sure was fun!

I borrowed the dress from a friend since I was missing the top to the only modest formal I own 8-o

The Powers watched our kids! Hooray! Joseline did well, but apparently didn't want to take her bottle. The little stinker! She eventually took one of their bottles, so she didn't starve. But she is a little stinker.

We have agreed that we should do things like this more often.

Getting Stronger

Here is a quick update of Joseline. She’s getting SO big. And we are SO busy, so keeping the blog updated has been a bit of a trial. Even now I’m not supposed to be blogging, I’m only on the computer to get a FHE lesson ready 8-o

Anyway, here are some pics:

She rolls over from her back to her belly pretty consistently, but doesn’t really know how to go back the other way. She’s starting to push herself up more on her hands when she’s on her belly, kind of doing a little cobra asana. She loves to see what’s going on and will wiggle around to get a better view. And she loves to grab things and put them in her mouth.

She also laughs and laughs and laughs at us. She loves Vince and “flirts” with him when they are in their car seats. On the way home from Church yesterday, Vince was just cracking up at her because she was burying her face in the side of her car seat and peeking out at him, grinning like a doll! She is so adorable, and has made our lives crazy! In the best way possible, of course.
