Because it is funny

The Doctor is IN
Dr Frank... paging Dr Frank....
I haven't been feeling well today so Frank took it upon himself to help me feel better. First, he did a verbal evaluation.
"Are you still sleepy?" he asked.
"No, I am just resting. Mommy has headache." I answered.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked.
"Not yet."
"Are you going to get up?" he continued.
"Maybe a little later." I said
"hmmm..." he retorted and left the room. As I continued to lay there I heard him go into his room. I figured the third degree was over. A few minutes later he came back into my room with his doctor's kit declaring he was going to check me out and make me better. Thank goodness. Dr Frank clambered onto the bed and began our exam.
First he pulled out his stethescope and listened to my heart (which resides in my rib cage below my chest area.) and my stomach. He informed me that he could hear my heart beat and my dinner digesting.
He took my blood pressure, which he said was perfect and proceeded to dig in his bag for his next tool... "a shot".
"Oh no," I said, "is it going to hurt?"
"yes," he grinned "but only for a little bit."
Using the toy syringe he proceeded to give a shot in every limb and in my bootie. After my fake crying subsided we continued. Frank took my temperature with a very loud beeping sound, alerting us that I had a temperature of 102! Yikes! When we realized that I had such a high temperature the next natural step was to check my eyes, ears, nose and throat with the odascope. This was actually the scariest part of the whole process. You try letting a four year old wave a semi-pokey object right in front of your eyes and not flinch!
After all was said and done Dr Wattson said I was better and free. I don't know what he ment by free but it didn't matter because officer Oliver came up to the side of my bed and announced that I was not free and that I was under arrest. Dang!
The world is a big place
Recently Ollie has realized that we live somewhere. We don't just live "here", we live in the city of Lakeside. He also learned that we live in the state of California and that we live on Earth. These are important facts to know and ones that need to be explored.
He figured out the whole planet issue when he asked me if we could go to Earth. I told him that is where we were. "No," he laughed "where WALL-E lives!" I explained to him that the earth WALL-E lived on was make believe. He accepted that.
A couple weeks back Erin, Frank, Ollie, and I were shopping at Vons. The checker and the bagging girl started cooing over the boys. Their blonde hair makes it impossible NOT to notice them. When we were almost done checking out Ollie looks up at the bagger and says "Do you live with us... in California?" (imagine him saying California like the Govenator) She laughed and confirmed her residency. "Oh." Ollie replied. He almost looked confused like "how can you and my family BOTH live in California?"
Discovering the world is bigger than your backyard is an intense thing! I hope he is up for that:)
Anyone can be a model
All you need is the proper motivation. I was doing a preggers shoot with my sister recently at my Mom's house. She looked amazing by the way. During one of her wardrobe changes my boys came in and asked me to take some pictures of them. Here is what I got.
Get in the picture
Being a photographer I am the worst at getting in family pictures! I am always the one behind the camera taking pictures of my adorable kids and watching my husband play. For Jesse's birthday this year we spent it with his Mom up in Carlsbad. I turned my camera on auto and went to play with my family. My mother in law is by no means a professional but she did a great job catching some of our fun on camera. The moral of the story: pass the camera off every once in a while and go enjoy yourself.

The Future of our Family
My family is destine to be famous... well not really but we usually put on a good show. We all went to the zoo and I got to give my new lens a test drive. It performed rather well. Unfortunately we had a cloudy day. Not the good cloudy, even over cast cloudy either. It was the " I can't decide wether I want to let the sun shine through a little, a lot, or just bust up my gray cover" cloudy. Yes, in my world, clouds do talk and they upset me sometimes with their indecisive ways. Anyway, near the end of our visit we went to the Sea Lion Show. Frankie really wanted to be picked as a volunteer and didn't. He was bummed but got over it. As we left the show we saw some acrobats, two young men and one young woman, setting up for a performance. The zoo is currently running their summer theme "Zoo Night Life: Art, Acrobats, Animals". Eventhough we were about to leave we decided to stick around and watch it and got a great spot right up front. One of the performers was handing out martigra beads. Frankie starts jumping up and down, waving his hand, trying to get her attention. She ran out of beads right before she got over to where we were standing. Talk about bum luck! The boys did their act and no I didn't get any pictures because I had put my camera in my bag. After they were done they asked for a volunteer. Frankie, once again, jumped up and down, waved his hand, hoping to be picked... and he did get picked! Of course I busted out my camera for that one!
Frankie was pretty excited to be picked but once he got up there he was so stoic. It was too cute. He was very good at following directions and the girl gave him beads and a monkey for being such a good volunteer. Patience is a virtue:) After Frankie came back to me they started looking for another volunteer. They were looking for someone big. They pointed straight past me and ended up picking Jesse. Haha! Two participants in one show. Take that Sea Lion Show:)
Summa, Summa, Summatime!
Since summer began so much has happened. Frankie and Ollie have taken to the water like fish first and formost. Frank is most impressive. He is already working on his butterfly and deep water diving... no kidding!
Ollie is still Mr Evil Canevil! Here are some recent pictures.
We had many UFO sightings: Unstoppable Flying Ollie
Can you believe this boy is going to Kindergarten this year??
Sword Fights are really fun with these noodle swords. I have to say at one point it got pretty violent.
