My Mollie

Mollie, with Zachary

Our Basset Hound, Mollie, is 4 years old. In her 4 years, she has eaten MORE than her fair share of items in our household. Her past has included eating a Costco pack of brownie bites, the arm of our couch, several pacifiers, and of course- a pair of knee high boots. Most recently, she destroyed our last pacifier for our 6 month old and our 3 year old's Stegosaurus. I decided that from now on, I'm going to take pictures of her destruction- and post them.

Does anyone else's dog do this, or just mine??

Memories

Looking at photos this weekend, I realized that while I told myself that I would be really great about remembering to print/sort my photos... I haven't exactly been 'great' about it. I have a few albums full of pictures from our first born. But my absolute favorite memory of him is our first 4th of July together... when he was not even one year old. We stuck him in the stroller (we were camping) and walked down to the beach to watch fireworks. He wasn't really awake, but when he heard the first POP- he looked up and smiled, and snuggled in closer. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he felt safe with me. That just says volumes about our relationship to me, and he was so young!!

I hope I can get better about printing/sorting pictures of our second son, but I doubt it. Hopefully, we'll be making wonderful memories together- just like that 4th of July, 2009...

Are you good about printing pictures, or have you found other methods that work better for you?

About myself

I'm Keri. I'm 31, a wife and a working mother of two wonderful boys. I was born in New Jersey, and moved out to Orange County as I was entering high school. After I lost my Jersey accent, and stopped wearing the middle school uniform (Thanks, Dad!) I eventually earned some California credibility. If only New Jersey was trendy back then... maybe it would have gone more smoothly! It was in high school that I met my husband. So much has changed since then- college, grad school, jobs, marriage, kids, dogs, LIFE. We ended up in Ladera Ranch, and we love it! Our oldest son is in pre-school, and our younger son is 2. I feel like our house is going to explode, we couldn't possibly fit any more in it. And then my husband tells me that he wants a jellyfish aquarium. Honestly.

I'd prefer to wear flip flops all day, every day. I don't particularly enjoy cooking, but I find great satisfaction in cleaning. Too bad for me, I don't have much 'extra' time to clean! I am pretty sure that I used to be a Type A, until I moved in with my husband. Somehow, someway, he mellowed me out. We plan to have more children, someday. We have lots of fun, some of it planned. But as my mother always says, "There is never a dull moment" in the Bullock house!
