Rory, professional tricycle rider

Rory finally got the knack of riding his tricycle! He spent a good chunk of afternoon just peddling around the drive and I wanted to share the moment.

More pictures...

I finally had some free time and decided to take some pictures. The boys could care less about having their picture taken time and again, So I made Rebecca the guinea pig. She seems to LOVE IT! So here are some pictures of our little girl.
I think she was watching the cat...

what a happy girl!

She LOVES having her picture taken. This is the very first shot I took.

She was reaching for her rattle...

Rub-a-dub, it's Rebecca in the tub!

Rebecca is quite a little splasher already!

she got surprised by the flash....Rebecca watching Rory celebrate going potty!

Rebecca's room, at last!

I have been hearing about it for some time now, "when do we get to see pictures of Rebecca's room finished?" Well, I fully intended to put hers in when I posted pictures of the boys rooms...but then forgot. So here it is, Rebecca's nursery.

A pool for the summer

Fuad went out this weekend and got the kids a small pool for the backyard. We joined the YMCA, but there are only certain hours that they offer child watch. So on the days where me taking 3 kids to a pool by myself is out of the question, we now have an alternative. So far Dakota is as happy as can be. While Rory loves the water, but seems to have a harder time tolerating the water temp.( it is a little cold since we just recently filled it.) Summer is now in full swing!

an updated picture of our herb garden. So far, so good.

Fun with stickers

Rory definitely approves of his room!

I only did an accent wall, rather then go all the way around. I didn't want it to be overwhelming.

This is a shot of what we got done so far in Dakota's solar system... we only have a little bit more to do. Please note how cluttered the bottom half is. That was all Dakota's doing! But hey, it is his room.

This one is for Denise! The boys both love their swim trunks. The picture was of them playing in the sprinkler during last weekend.

Keep on rollin'...

Today while I was taking pictures of Rebecca, she decided to roll over! I cannot believe that she will be 3 months already! They grow up much to fast!
I got new frames!!!

this is once she rolled onto her back, from her tummy. I thought she was going to cry for sure... she looked scared!

No Doubt concert

Fuad and I went to see Paramore and No Doubt in concert last night, it was great! They both performed awesome and No doubt seems as if they never missed a beat in the 7 yrs. they took apart! We had a good time, and it was wonderful to get some time to ourselves. I included a few pictures from the show, enjoy!
Fuad and I before the show started.

Paramore did really good!

Me enjoying my beer!

Closeup of Paramore. Everyone went nuts when they played the song they wrote for the Twilight movie!

No Doubt coming on stage

One of my few action shots that is not too blurry. They NEVER stopped moving!

Tried to get as much of the band as we could.

Lazy days of summer

Smiley girl!

Rory the firefighter. He is trying to figure out how to get his arm back in the sleeve.
