Thanks to my sister and dad for taking care of Rookes teeth and to me for giving him a major sweet tooth, but luckily no cavities yet!! He was so good for his first dentist appointment.

Day at the Zoo

Rooke loved the zoo with his cousins. He is always talking about it and since we live so close now I guess I need to take him back soon :)

What we have been up to...

Our last minute Cali trip was SO much fun! Last fall we were supposed to go to lake powell but the forecast wasnt looking so good so we made it a Rooke vacation instead...and LOVED every second of it. We spent a few days in San Diego at a sweet hotel on the harbor. Sea World was great, Rooke was glued to the Shamu show( he still does the SHAM SLAM around the house). The pic of the hotel is a beautiful hotel on Coronado island which we love Coronado and want to live there some day :).We spent a day at Coronado Beach just playing in the sand and finding sand dollars (I had never seen one before).Spent a couple of days at Disney Land and California Aventures which i havent been to since i was younger and wasnt sure how much fun we would have but loved it of course. It really is "The happiest place on earth!"

4th of July

My whole fam went up to my parents cabin in IP for the fourth. It was so much fun!

I made a festive cake that was so good. This was the first time I had the cake with the jello set up inside of it. Loved it!

Rooke wanted to wear his patriotic jammies the night of the 4th, so I let him :) He was so wired that night and while we were all trying to watch a movie he kept doing swan dives on Josh's stomach and cracking himself up. Sorry josh.

Old Whitey

My dad has this old white 67 Ford truck that Dusty loves to take out and "excercise". He polishes it up and takes it on drives around the farm. Now Rooke also loves to go exercise old whitey and he's got the arm hanging out the window down and everything. SO CUTE!

Rooke had a fever of 104 the night of his party so he wasn't his
wild self. He ended up having Roseola but once we found out that's what he had it was done.
