for Mama C! - Sept. 19, 2011

 Rocky & Tesi!  Such good friends!

(Remember when Tes didn't even want to touch him?!)

 Dalia's "Rose" dress!  She picked it out herself.  I picked out the blue striped "Rose"socks for Tes.  But today Dalia insisted on wearing the Rose socks with her Rose dress.  She also has some cute dark purple dress shoes that would look Adorable with this dress, but again, she insisted that she wear her white tennis shoes!  She loved her outfit!  She really was happy, even though she doesn't really look so in the picture.

 Brian's Birthday!! 

Girl Sleepover at Papa's house!  We had a dance party right before this.  Dalia taught us all the "Chickie Dance!"  The little girls performed their dance for all the adults and the baby boys after dinner the next day!

Sorry i missed your call last night mom!

Brian's birthday 2011

So I found this post in my Draft folder.  I just needed to finish a few things so i am posting it now, only 1 1/2 years later.  Happy Birthday to Brian!!

Brian's Birthday - September 15, 2011

Dalia, Rock, & Brian at Mukilteo Beach

Every year on Brian's birthday he likes to go swimming in a natural body of water.  This year he went to work on his birthday and we met him at Mukilteo Beach afterwards to watch him go "swimming!"  

Brian & Rock wading in the Puget Sound

Dalia on the beach ready to watch Dad swim.

It was not a warm day.  Tesila was cold!

Bye Bye!  Have fun swimming Brian.

He made it in!

Swimming back to shore.

Dalia & Tes - Brian's cheerleaders!

Rock & Britni

After Brian's swim we went out to dinner at Red Robin.

And Red Robin was there!!!  Tes & Dalia were so excited!

Happy Birthday to Brian!

Back at home Brian opened his presents!

He got clothes (not what he wants, but I have fun going shopping for him).  He got pictures of his Cadillac!  I cleaned up the Cadillac a little bit and took some pictures that i put in a frame for Brian to but on his desk at work. 

Brian, Britni, & baby Rock

Cake time!!  We were all so full from dinner we didn't want to eat anymore.  but we needed to sing Happy Birthday and blow out candles!  So we put some frosting on the plastic top of the cheesecake lid and stuck the candles in that (Brian's idea!) 

H. family tradition.  You must light your own birthday candles!

Whoa!  It looks like a torch!  

Happy Happy Birthday Brian!  I am glad we got to celebrate you!!  I like you a lot!

The girls got dad a Whoopie Cushion!  They are so funny!

Camping in September - Sept. 3, 2011

The last weekend of summer we went camping!  I decided that i was sad that we hadn't been camping this summer.  We made the short drive to Cascade park with our friends the L's and camped for a night! 

 Rock was a good camper!  He enjoyed sitting in the bumbo chair!  He slept the entire night!  But he woke up early about 6am and didn't go back to sleep.  And it was so COLD at night!  I should have brought more blankets!

 The next day was hot!  Cascade Park had a big slip-n-slide!  We were not prepared with swim suits, but that didn't stop Dalia.  She loved going down the slide all by herself and with her daddy and her friend Preston!

 The kids had fun playing on the playgrounds! 

 Britni and Rock by the fire in the morning getting warm before the sun came up.

When it was dark we got the kids in their pajamas and they watched a movie on the ipad.  In the blue is our friend Preston who we went camping with. 

I'm glad that we were able to go camping the summer of 2011!
