Guess Who's Swimming...

...this little guy!

We're so proud of our splashy EZ boy!

Lovin' the Pool

Now that the weather is so perfect, the kids get in the pool just about everyday. It has been so nice that I got in the water for the first time this season! Here are a few shots of recent pool fun...

Mother's Day at the Bay

We had a great time on Mother's Day. It started with a yummy breakfast at the Broken Yolk and then we were off to Mission Bay for a family bike ride and playtime at the park. Randy bought a baby seat for Emmy and put it on his bike (since I am not the best bike rider out there!). Emers wasn't sure when she first sat in it, but after about 30 seconds of riding she just loved her seat! The boys still talk about the bike ride, and they can't wait to go again. Grandma and Grandpa even came along. It was a lot of fun!

Summer . . . We're Ready!

The weather has been amazing! We are definitely ready for summer! Our recent trip to the pool with Grandma was so much fun. Our pool at home is too cold to swim in right now, so the kids were a bit out of practice. I wasn't sure if Seth would remember how to swim and then he dove right in! With a little coaxing from the rest of the family, Ethan mastered the water slide and Emmy loved the splash pad. We can't wait to go back!

Circus in Town

Randy and the boys took Grandma Diana to the circus as an early Mother's Day celebration. Apparently, it was an adventure...

The boys have been talking about the funny clown ever since!

Tired of the Flu

No, this is not my child!

This picture was going around in a "Swine Flu Source Discovered" email earlier this week. I had to post it because my child (the biggest big bro in the Rockwell family) is in bed with a fever right now! We went to the doctor and are on the road to recovery, but right now sure isn't a good time to have the flu! Everyone asks, "Is it Swine Flu?" Poor boy...

Sea World Field Trip

Seth's class took a field trip to Sea World today. Randy was "Field Trip Dad" so a fun time was had by all. Of all the pictures he took, my favorite is the one of the kids taking off! It looks like they are trying to escape, but, in fact, they were only having a skipping race!

Taking Shape

The front entry is starting to come together. Randy finished the flagstone at the front door in addition to building the wall and starting the patio pavers. After the pavers are in, it will be time to put the ledger on the wall and face the columns.

In time, this little place is going to look great! Randy is certainly on a mission here!

Twins!

Emmy had so much fun playing in the mirror in the boys' room. She was smiling and laughing while looking at her reflection. Now I know where to look when Em gets tired of the boys and needs a little girl to play with!

Demo Day

We have been in this house for a year and four months. We did a lot to the interior before moving in, and now it is time to work on the exterior, starting with the front yard. Randy and Ethan started the sidewalk and existing plant demolition today...

It's got to look worse before it looks better!

The Knights and Orcs Team up to Battle the Ponies

While Dad and Ethan were outside working, Seth set up a game of Battleground. Emmy wouldn't be left out, so the game had to be changed to Knights and Orcs versus the Ponies! Emmy just loves Seth. She wants to do whatever he does. She was so cute, actually throwing the discs and knocking down Seth's troops!

As predicted...Seth was the winner!

The Green is Gone!

We are officially off and running with the front yard project. It all started with repainting the house. The green is gone! Woohoo!

How do you like it?

Mower Man and Puffy Clouds

I went out to take pictures of the kids and couldn't resist taking a picture of the beautiful clouds overhead. Under the clouds, Ethan convinced Dad to allow him to practice driving the lawn mover on his own. He was so proud of himself!
