Pool Party!

We went to our friend's parents house (Niki Taylor's family) to celebrate Niki & Maury's son, Maury's 2nd birthday. Super hot in Ramona - hate it. House so beautiful, like something you'd see in a magazine. Stunning backyard, awesome pool. Great way to cool off and have fun with friends. Love the action shots I caught.

Wrestlemania ~ Roed Kid Version

Throughout the summer Chad (Derek's youngest brother who is 10), and our niece, Jonnie (Tara's daughter) love to come over to our house to play and likewise, Bobby cant wait to play with them either. (...And the kids soak up our a/c and stare at the boob tube because 99% of the time if our t.v. is on we are watching cartoons) For whatever reason they decided to play rough with each other and wrestle and jump around on our bed. Oh what's that you ask, is this unusual? Nope its not. And then when the big camera came out they went even crazier.

I'm really impressed with the camera and the action shots it caught. The kids couldn't wait to see the pictures on our (big) computer screen and it was amazing how lively it looked. Lousy description but you get the idea.

10 month mugshot

Miss Brooklyn has 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom), waving bye bye/hi, shaking head "no" when she's had enough, walks when you hold her hands (she is still afraid to let go), can stand for a few seconds alone, can drink from a straw (found that out today!), is on a prescription for FLOVENT due to severe allergies to grass, animal dander and one other thing I that I cant remember right now. We go back to the allergist in 2 weeks to follow up and see how she is doing which, I can say, I don't hear her wheezing throughout the day on a "healthy" day like I used too.

Life is moving right along, and I'm trying to keep up!

Never

looking in the same

direction!!!!!
