In The Summertime

Just some random shots of some random cuteness... and beauty around the house...

 She felt like posing again

 Do I look cute?

 This beauty found it's way onto our lanai... It took me a couple of hours to try to coax it back out to the yard...

So beautiful..

Daddy's Song

Happy Birthday to Rachel's favorite Daddy!  We had a great time celebrating Tommy's birthday at the Italian American Club with my folks, as well a few other friends!

 Rachel & I made a birthday cake at home for Tommy, but we didn't eat it till we came home from the wonderful party at the IAC... since they changed chef's the food there is FABULOUS!

Let's Have a Party

Still can't believe we spent a whole weekend at Chuck-e-Cheese for some birthday parties!  On Saturday, we had our first party and Nana came since it was her "Cancer Buddy" Gloria's granddaughter!

 She was actually trying to "strike a pose" or two... lol..

This was WAY more fun than she expected!

 And the very next day, it was time to celebrate yet again, with Chuck!  

Dora

Dora came to town... or at least a REALLY scary version of Dora!!!  Isn't this the most terrifying Dora you have ever seen????  I'm SO glad my kid wasn't silly enough to fall for this one but she still had a GREAT time! Dora the Explorer needs to explore a new costume shop!

Pulling Teeth

My brave little girl... She needed a "baby root canal" which apparently is very different from a grown up root canal... but she was actually so good about it that the Dr asked if she could do ALL the work needed now instead of splitting it into 2 visits (She needed a couple of fillings too). 

She actually handled it better this visit than she did when they were only taking xrays and cleaning her teeth!

School Days

It's time to get back to school! 

 She's telling Nana all about her day at school!  She is SO happy to be back at Temple Judea for her last year. Won't be long now before she is off to "Big Kid School"...

Judgement Of The Moon And Stars

 Every once in a while, Rach decides she wants to be a showoff in front of the camera. These moments are random acts of silliness... all the more reason to save them for all time!

KI-AI!

             Looking like a little Pin-up girl!

Skin O' My Teeth

My brave little girl... Today was her first ever dental exam.  The only time she cried was when they leaned the chair all the way back!  She was afraid she was going to fall, poor thing!

I almost wanted her Daddy to go with her... I am SUCH a dental WIMP!  But she really did me proud!

The bad news was, she needs a baby root canal.  She has a cavity and it's right next to the nerve... Luckily, a baby root canal is supposed to be nothing like a grown up root canal... and yes, of COURSE I'm going to cry my eyes out!

Scenes From A Coffee House

Just some randomness... It seems I have my own little Coffee House Beat Poet here... she walked into my room after having dressed herself, complete with the sun glasses and informed me that she needed to have her picture taken while she posed...
uh... REALLY??  LOL

 I just told her to do whatever she wanted and to have fun... and these weren't even the funniest!  LOL

 Not a day goes by where I don't look at this cute little monster and laugh till I drop.

The only thing missing was the beret!  She DID tuck her hair into her shirt... for effect, of course!

I'm Only Sleeping

My two best girls sleeping so nice together...
  if only they could figure out which direction they are supposed to be facing!

 Slowly trying to wake up... very slowly...












And the winner of the "Who gets the bed" contest is...

                              

Guess it's about time we all got up anyway...   Glad it wasn't Abbey wanting to share the bed!
