Haas (and other babies)

Here he is. Whatta cutie pie. He looks like a little papoose, all swaddled up. His eyes are blue, not brown (yet) like his older sisters.

Shoot, for some reason, this picture didn't rotate. He's got lots of dark hair, and so far possesses a laid back disposition his mother is hoping he keeps. On his first night home, he slept for 7 hours straight!

Another baby we're enjoying. Anni (ah-nee), we call her. Just look at all those curls!

Two boy cousins. Their coloring could not be more different!

The two newest boys in the Bev and Dale grandchildren book, Haas and Cutler (5 months).

Lots of babies to love on!

Granchild #10 has arrived

Haas Michael, son of Jocelyn and Mike made his appearance late last night. He weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds and 15 ounces!

His "future girlfriend" Brooklyn Kate was born 6 hours or so later, daughter to Katie and Brian. I stopped by the hospital to see both of them today, and they sure are adorable!

My name was Deeta

but now it's turning into Deesta. I love how kids pronounce things!

Playing catch-up once again

Summer's busyness really cramped my blogging style. I'm back on for a bit to give you a little peek into the last few weeks.

Our St Johns trek up Cliff Drive...

there was a great view from the top, and good convo the whole hike.

Fast forward a couple weeks. Fourth of July weekend was good times- went wakeboarding and camping. One night of camping might not sound worth it to some, but it was perfect. We only brought essentials, and hardly needed our tent. After swimming and chillin' (it was 11 girls and 3 guys), we slept under the stars.

Sara working hard, chopping wood. We got caught by the park ranger shortly after, but not before our efforts yielded some firewood.

Amy, Hannah, and Kayla relaxing.

Since the Fourth, work has picked up. Here's a $200 casket spray I did. It was actually hard to find enough flowers and design with that much money! Fun though :) Tomorrow I get to make a $300 one.

In other news, there isn't any news yet. Joce (and the rest of us) is impatiently waiting for her little one to arrive. I moved from the country to their house in town to help with Viv when he does make an appearance. Also, Nat and the kids are officially in MN and took over the basement at Grandma and Grandpa's, where my bedroom happened to be. It is fun to finally have them around!

I did another wedding on my own, one I had agreed to before I got my flower shop job. Stay tuned for pictures, although Jen will probably beat me to it :)
