Calling for Bosco

Lily just learned how to call for Bosco to come to her. It's adorable. She gets a little confused sometimes though. She wanted Bo to come help her with something today and started patting her legs and making the kissing sound. She's so funny!

Lily's red petti

The pettiskirts I ordered came this morning. So, I took Lily outside to try one out. She didn't like it first. It's so poofy, she didn't know what to think. Once we got outside, she forgot all about the skirt. She LOVES to go outside. I can't wait to try out the rest of the pettiskirts. They're so fun!!!

Look what I caught her doing...

Lily has turned into a monkey lately. She is getting into everything and wanting to climb on everything too. She's been trying, but hasn't been able to climb the boys' bunk bed ladder....until today. When she gets to the top, she jumps on it too. Man, she is so busy! I've got to watch her like a hawk.

My new lens!

Yay! My new lens came in the mail today. I was dying to try it out. But, as usual the boys were giving grief. They said they would only lend me 1 minute of their precious time. Even then, they wouldn't wipe the irritated looks off their faces. Not even for 60 seconds! Oh well, at least I got a preview of what my toy is capable of.

Bosco

This is our beloved dog Bosco. He is such a good dog. He rarely barks or whines. He never digs or chews on stuff. And he always comes when you call him. He's so good with the kids too. What more could we ask for? So, what are we gonna do when he dies? We've gotta have a dog. But I think any other dog might drive us crazy after being spoiled with Bosco. The poor guy is getting up there in age though. He is 7 years old and is starting to get gray hair & cataracts. So sad! We love you Buddy!!!

Chasing Lily

This little girl is so busy. She can't sit still for 2 seconds for her mother to get some good shots of her. She is so cute and funny right now that I want to capture every funny face she makes & every cute thing she does. I think I'm gonna have to get used to chasing her around for a while.

Lucky Girl

Lily is so lucky to have two big brothers. I always wanted a brother. Never got one though. Mason & Bo are so good to her. They never tease her or get mad at her for getting into their stuff. They just love her. Bo & Lily get to hang out a lot because he only has 1/2 a day of school. She'll sure miss him next year when he goes to 1st grade.

Easter

I know Easter was last month. But I didn't have a blog last month. So, I'm catching up on the the posts I would've posted had I had one. I've got a lot of posts already, I know. It's getting a bit out of hand. Anyways, we had a fun Easter. The kids went on three different hunts. They love a good egg hunt! Even Lily got in on the fun.

Her 1st piggies!

After having two boys, I was sooooooooooooo excited to have a little girl. Well, when the day came that Lily's hair was long enough for pigtails, I was ECSTATIC! Yay, I can finally do cute stuff with her hair. She's not too happy about it though. I have to practically wrestler her down to be able to get a dang rubber band in it. But, it's worth it.

Kissing papa?

We have a big poster of Ross playing football in our office. It's almost life size. Lily will go into the office point to it and say "PAAAAH PAAAAAH!" I found her in there a few days ago giving it kisses & hugs. How stinkin sweet is that?!

Papa's girl

Lily loves her papa so much. She gets so excited to see him when he gets home from work or is the one to rescue her from her crib. She knows it's playtime whenever her pop is home. She has a picture of him on the memory board in her room. Whenever we go into her room, she wants me to get the picture down for her so she can give it a kiss. How cute is that! I love watching the two of them together.

So messy!!!

Oh, the all too popular spaghetti face pictures. We've all got one don't we? But I just couldn't resist capturing her in all her cute messiness.

Bo is 6!

Bo & I went downtown for his 6 year photoshoot. He wasn't too excited about that. But he was a pretty good sport about it. I was surprised when I uploaded the pictures to my computer and he looked like such a big kid. I had a flash forward of what he might look like as a teenager. It's so sad that he's growing up.

Bo's birthday

Bo has such a silly personality. This is such a classic shot of the little goofball.

Sneaking a couple in

Mason really hates me to take his picture lately. He has such a cute little face, I can't help but sneak a few in every now & then.

The fight

It started out so fun...

but there was only one "good" sled
and Bo didn't want to share. So, he
attacked Mason.
That didn't make Mason too happy.
And...guess who won.

NO MORE PICTURES!

I got a new camera for Christmas this year. It's much more complicated than my old point & shoot. I need lots of practice playing with it cause you know what they say about practice practice practice................. Well my kids don't like that saying very much. Especially Bo. He now wants me pay him to sit & be nice for a photo shoot. They are all so sick of being the target of my lens. Hopefully they'll thank me one day!

Our family

October 2007

Ross & Laura

I can't believe we've been married for almost 9 years! Isn't he a handsome devil!

Mason Ross

Mason is our oldest. He is 8 years old & in 2nd grade. He has always been such a good kid. He is helpful & kind to everyone. We're lucky to have him around. His favorite thing to do in his free time is count, organize, & even draw pokemon cards. I don't get it.

Bowen Rockwell

Bo is our six year old. He's super funny & silly and makes us laugh all the time. His favorites things are football, soccer & get this.....cuddling with mama. Yep.

Lily Noelle

Last but not least is Miss Lily. She is 15 months old. She is so much fun and VERY spoiled by her big brothers. She can do no wrong at the moment. Pretty much everything she does & says is cute. Even when she's being naughty she's cute!

Giving it a whirl!

I've wanted to set up a blog for a while. It just seems like there is never enough time in the day to do the extra stuff. But, I finally managed to get it done. There is a lot of catching up to do, so there will probably be lots of posts this month! Thanks for stopping by.
