No Doubt!!!!!!!!!!!

My mother's day was amazing. I got to sleep in and Landon served me heart shaped pancakes in bed. I love him sooo much. Another great thing was that I got to pick out a gift for myself. I always love every gift Landon surprises me with. He's a really great gift giver, but I kinda wanted to pick something out this time. I chose No Doubt tickets. Best decision ever!!!!! I saw them about five years ago and they were awesome. Because they're my favorite band of all time, I couldn't pass up pit tickets this time. We were literally three feet from Gwen at one point. (I love her, but she really cakes on that makeup.) The night just plain ROCKED! The Sounds were great and Paramore was even better than the last time we saw them. I don't even know that I have words to describe how incredible No Doubt was. They even closed with my favorite song. It was hands down the best concert I've ever been to and I've been to quite a few. Thank you No Doubt for rocking my world!

We weren't able to get any good pics of Tony. :(

Water Baby!

Because it's been a million degrees outside, I though it would be fun for Rory to play outside in some agua. Also, my mom bought her the cutest bathing suit and I wanted to put her in it. Landon was awesome enough to blow up the hippo pool we got her. It was the cutest day ever!!! She loves water and loves being outside, so naturally she had way too much fun. It was a bit of work getting her in the suit, lathered up in sunscreen, getting the pool ready, and then undoing it all, but it was soooo worth it. I can't wait to do it again.

This is my favorite.

She was so giddy!

She was checking herself out in the mirror after.

The Bear

So Rory is getting to an age where she is becoming a terror. I really don't know what I would do if I was working full time. Most likely I would be tearing my hair out. Don't get me wrong, she is cuter than cute, but I just can't keep up. She's crawling (super fast... like lightning speed) and she gets bored super quick so I have to constantly be thinking of new activities for her in order to keep her out of cupboards and drawers (we're a little behind on baby proofing). Despite the non stop curiosity and occasional tearless yet not soundless fit she is still the most amazing thing EVER!! I love everything about her - even the stuff that makes her a terror. It cracks me up. Maybe not always in the moment, but always after. So for those who don't get to enjoy her company often, here is a tribute to Rory...
