the Pooch

Maka is now 5 months old and we recently took him to the doggy beach on Hickam Air Force Base for the first time.  It's a great place for doggies and toddlers.  He and Rieley had a blast (as you saw in the previous post).  Maka is getting to be a big boy.  He's about the same weight and height (when he stands on his hind legs) as Rieley is and uses that to his advantage when he plays with her.  He's always knocking her over and playing Mr. Tough Guy, but we all know that deep down, he's just a real chicken!  When he's at the dog park with the bigger dogs, he surrenders to them without a fight.  Haha.  He's got quite the terrier personality from the Airdale part...so hyper, but at the same time he's got a laziness to him and the most text book puppy dog face I've ever seen.  He's also got beautiful light brown eyes that I love to look into.  We all like to rile him up and he gives it right back to us.  Check out our playful little pup and his big floppy ears below.

Rieley-Eden is going to be 3!

Hello Family & Friends,

As you may or may not realize, 2010 is speeding right along and we are already almost a third of the way through the year.  That means, that it is spring and what happens during spring?  Flowers bloom.  Our flower bloomed in April 2007 and continues to grow big and strong!  : )  Lil Miss Rieley-Eden will be three this year and I am already beginning the party planning process.  One of the first steps to that is doing an invitation and so far I've put pictures on each party invite.  This year, since I have my monster camera, I decided to venture out and do my own portraits for her 3rd year of celebration.  I hope you like them.  I snuck in some pictures of her with her daddy and our pooch, Maka!

Enjoy! ~ Steph

P.S. As you can tell, I can't figure out which ones are my faves...there are too many...even though I need a little work on using the light source better and more editing lessons.
