3 Bear Acres (Pt. 4 - On the Boat)

This photo is so cute - Maggie is always psyched to have a snack!

3 Bear Acres (Pt. 3 - One Good Slide Shot)

This is the best one from the whole slide series, in my opinion!

Look - they're having so much fun!

3 Bear Acres (Pt.2 - Pipes)

Rolling in a pipe?  I guess this is what passes for fun down on the farm :)

3 Bear Acres (Pt 1 - The Slide)

There's this amazing slide @ 3 Bear Acres - it's truly awesome.  The kids love it.  Here is a series of shots - Maggie terrified, then eventually going alone, and then holding onto brother!

Charlie's Last Day of Pre-School

This was a real tear-jerker for us.  Charlie is officially done with pre-school!  OMG!

His teachers are going to miss him SO MUCH.  Kindergarten, here we come!

Maggie's Last Day

She gives her teachers such BIG HUGS!

Maggie will miss them, but she'll be back next year!

Flowers in Her Hair

Gotta Be NC Fest (Pt 3)

Charlie had so much fun.... we went back with Maggie!

This ride made us all nauseous.


They won some awesome balloons!


Riding the motorcycle!  Maggie had more fun that this makes it look.


Riding some tractors!

Gotta Be NC Fest (Pt 2)

Charlie winning toys!

And riding a tractor!

Gotta Be NC Fest (Pt 1)

Mommy and Charlie went to the Gotta Be NC Fair.  It's kind of like the NC State Fair, but smaller, and cuter.

This kid may end up loving NASCAR.  You never know.

This is the trick pony!

All sales are Finale!

Construction

They're doing a bunch of construction outside Maggie & Charlie's pre-school (the main street near our house is closed!)

Here are Charlie and Maggie looking forlorn at the new construction.  Don't worry guys - it will be done... in... November?!

New Grill means... Spaceship!

We got a new grill, and somehow the kids... got a Spaceship out of the deal!? I'm confused.  But Bre made this awesome spaceship for the kids out of the (huge) box the grill came in!

Dress Up with Avery

Avery loves to play Dress Up. It must have been 85 degrees in our house this day, but Avery had to wear the Dinosaur PJ's!




Charlie got in on some boot action (these are Mama's new boots!)

Sit' n Spin!

Charlie and Avery making the most of a Sit n Spin!

Maggie in the Mist

Both of our kids have always loved the Mist at the Museum of Life & Science.  Bre got these amazing shots of Maggie last time they went!

Partners in Crime

The kids who eat together....





Play Mario Kart Wii together!!!

Beach in Florida

Lars and Sarah brought us to an awesome beach with the kids!  And the kids always look so good at the beach!

Pirate Show

When we were at LegoLand, Maggie loved to go watch the pirate show!  It's actually pretty cool, with speedboats and waterskis!

Here's how excited she is!




She even got to meet the star!

Waller Family Farm (Pt 2)

I think the main reason Bre brings the kids strawberry picking is for... the PHOTOS!

Waller Family Farm (Pt 1)

At the Strawberry Picking Farm!

Of course they have a strawberry for photos!

Some Special Ice Pop Treats

These kids should hold a sign that says "will work for high fructose corn syrup"!

Yogurt Time!

On special occasions, the kids get Frozen Yogurt (When we need to bribe them)!

Easter (Pt. 2)

The Y has a big easter egg hunt for the kids.  We usually meet Avery there - here we all are!  Avery brought this bunny, which became a popular and much shared toy!
