Picture Perfect

Michael's birthday party / swimming at Margie's parents (which I don't have a picture of them together!?!... or a family picture of the Petri's and their 4 kids.. how.. what...I...why...), sword fighting, goofing around, a new bike, a killer new deck, touring the police sation, sitting in Uncle Mike's cruiser, checking out a SWAT van and trying on some gear-- all wrapped up in a bundle of pictures that hold the bestest memories. 

I can't stop critiquing and wondering what I was doing wrong here & there, lighting etc.  I will keep practicing.

 This girl loves to read and F A S T!

 Have I mentioned yet that she speaks as much spanish as Dora?

 No spanish for her...yet.

 This kid is SO his father, LOL!!!

Any time, any place... I read.

 Rachel hits the ball and Samuel is just hanging there on the mailbox (base). He caught on after a few hits.

 Grandma hanging out with all of her grandkids, her dream come true

Rachel let Marti & I ride her bike and we didn't break it.

The visit to Mike's work!

Rachel got to spend the day with a Detective at Mike's work, awesome.

 Entering... the S.W.A.T. van....

 Totally cute, they had this look several times.. kind of in awe.

 Playing with the buttons, sirens, lights and all~

One heavy bullet proof vest!

 Breakfast competition

 Playing Wii

 The new big boy toy

I'm not sure if Eddy was getting too close to Samuel's cake, which was the size of Texas thanks to "Uncle Eddy"

Hugs goodbye

 Don't mess with her!

Buh Bye!  See you soon!
