update!

halle is the BEST baby ever!!!! we LOVE her and her perfect natured personality....she is always always happy. two days before she turned 6 months she got her two bottom teeth AND two days ago....6 1/2 months, i put her on her tummy and she rolled to her side and sat up all on her own! she was a little pro at it today and is so balanced and steady.....i better watch out...she is going to be an early walker!!

jake loves going to the pool and playing in the backyard with all his trucks... he loves to 'help' his dad in the yard and water the plants and trim the trees :)
his dad is still his best friend!!

i am playing tennis 2-3 days a week, going to the pool a lot and busy with the kids....

john is only 14 months away from completing his ortho residency!!!! he has been contacting dr.s who will be selling their practices in the next year.... he is working hard and is known at school for making scorpion retainers for his patients! (pic at the top)

cali again!

the end of april we went to cali for our third time in six weeks. john had an orthodontic meeting there so who can say no to a free trip?! the rep gave us his credit card one night and told us to go where ever we wanted....we managed to spend $120 for just two of us :)

halle and jake were angels

i don't know what i would do without jake's i pod touch

yes these people are in their undies.... and sea world of all places.... i couldn't believe it! we were laughing so hard!

this sea lion looks like mr. mudd.....kiss kiss muddly
