Daddy & Maggie @ Marbles

Charlie was a little under the weather this weekend, so Daddy and Maggie went for a Daddy/Daughter day!

It was splendid.  Started out right with a full breakfast!



Maggie collected a LOT of tokens.

You have to climb HIGH to put them in the machine!

We worked up a bit of an appetite


Time to drive the school bus!


And then a short commute back home!

Maggie & Elmo

Maggie has a great new Elmo doll she fell in love with...



She even shared it with another baby!!!  Elmo had to give this little baby a kiss!

A New Bath Shot

We keep some pics of the kids in the bath hanging on the wall of the bathroom, but we never got a good one of the two of them together. 

Maybe this will be the one!

Cookie Snuggles

Maggie LOVES snuggling wit Cookie on Cookie's big comfy chair!  And Maggie is learning to play solitaire!

Some More Pics from the Pier!

Santa Monica Pier

Going to the Santa Monica Pier was on Poppy's bucket list, so... they went IN STYLE

Ordering food with poppy!

Cuddling & Watching UP

Look at this family all watching UP!




Charlie's arm around Maggie :)

A Day At Kidzu

Before Mommy and the kids left for California, Daddy took the kids to... KIDZU.  We hadn't been there in a long time.  It was fun!

Maggie found some fun stuff to play with!


Swinging so fast she got blurry!



And Charlie being Charlie

There's Some Fun in Sacramento!

Looks like Charlie & Maggie are having a blast in Sacramento!

I can't wait for them to come home and have fun with me!

Folsom Lake / Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland!

There's something so "Lord of the Flies" about this picture of Charlie on a deserted beach holding a stick attached to a paper plate...

Maggie don't care!

The Most Popular Toy At The Beach

Ice-Cream Cones!

I'm not kidding.  Bre got these Ice-Cream cone beach toys, and she made sure to get 3, and we're all very grateful she did.  I think every kid made 100 ice-cream cones.  Mostly for Kenny.

Maggie Stepping in a Bucket

Makes Kenny Laugh!

Collecting Shells!

These two kids had so much fun playing on the beach and collecting shells!

Evening Stroll

Bre loves to go on little evening walks on the beach with Charlie & the kids.  This time Mabel joined them!

Our Little Surfer Girl!

She's following in Mommy's footprints!

Mermaid Photo Shoot!

Samantha got Maggie a wonderful Mermaid outfit for a beach photo shoot!



Here's Maggie & Mabel:

A Wonderful Time at the Beach

We had a wonderful time @ the beach!

We even got a family photo.  (That's a sticker on Charlie's forehead)




Charlie insisted that Kenny get in on our family photo too!

Beach Bound!

I may be slow to update the blog for a few days as we're hitting the road. 

In the mean-time, here's some adorableness from a farm that Charlie and Avery and Maggie went to!  These kids are so... CORNY!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Our little girl turned 2 yesterday!  We had a wonderful party with lots of good friends.  And in the morning we had a special trip to get donuts and then to the museum for a train ride!

Maggie and her new mermaid from Nana T!
