every boy needs a dog...

...and every dog needs a boy.

Dennis: "Bruno, hold still... you have a big spot on your back. Let me check it out."

Bruno: "oh, this is heaven... you'd better continue checking it out."

I got a new way to...

Walk -(walk walk).

stair master

Dennis's babysitter has some carpeted stairs that Dennis has learned to go up and down. Now this is all he does at her house. Up and down... over and over again. So, he turns around backwards now to go down anything-very shallow hills, 2 inch step, down off of my pillow...etc. its pretty cute. Here he is trying out the back steps. They are a new challenge because they are extra long and not carpeted.

Ouch

Dennis is poppin out some more teeth. It must hurt because we don't see this cute smile as often as we usually do. In fact, he has been quite grumpy the past couple of days and we couldn't seem to find anything that would make him happy. Well, ALL mysteries solved when I saw something white coming out of his top gum. The peculiar thing about it is that it is on the side... I'm wondering if he is working on all 4 front top teeth at the same time. OUCH. In this picture, Dennis tried to eat the cheerio like the dogs (face plant on the table) only to get it stuck on his nose. :)

FOREVER

is how long my family will be together. When we are married, we are married in the Temple of the Lord-where we are sealed together for time and all eternity. I don't know super details about the next life but I do know that I will be with my sweet husband and baby. There is nothing that I want more than that. If you would like more information on eternal marriage or about our church go to www.mormon.org.
This past Saturday my auntie Starr and uncle Lee were sealed in the Nauvoo Temple! It was such a wonderful experience to see them make their marriage stretch beyond this life. They are soooo happy! Here is my mom with her sister.
Here are my brothers with the newly sealed. :) Aren't they handsome.

Congratulations! We love you!

Harvest

So, we picked a lot of our green beans today and ended up throwing them out because we had waited too long and they were going to seed... but we picked them in hopes of getting a few more out of our crop. Dennis was playing with some of them and we thought nothing of it until after he was in bed and we were cleaning up the kitchen did we find the stash that he put away for later.

He is quite the kid.

smarties

I think he takes after his dad... what do you think?

those smarties are so sweet. :)
