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!

Easter (Pt. 1) Morning @ Home!

In the morning on Easter, Bre makes a big scavenger hunt, and at the end of the hunt... there's the kids Easter baskets!

Then we have an Easter egg hunt in the front yard!

Washing the Car

Maggie is such a big helper - here she is helping to wash the car!

Easter Projects

The kids got some adorable cards from Nana T, and we got to do some amazing crafts for Easter!

Maggie's new Song

Maggie and Charlie love to be bad guys. Maggie made up a song about it.  We sing it ALL THE TIME.

I Bad-Gu-u-u-u-u-y!

I Tha-No-o-o-o-o-s!

I Hulk Sma-a-a-a-a-a-sh!

Etc.

Charlie, Maggie and Avery got Alexa up to Volume 10

While listening to their favorite song!

Mountain Biking!

A few weeks ago I brought Charlie to a little dirt track where he could ride his bike.  He was SO good at at!  These big kids got interested, and Charlie was happy to share his bike with them, but they loved watching Charlie!

Under the Sea!

Riding the Submarine is Maggie's other favorite thing to do at LegoLand... You get this cool picture if you... pay for the photo day pass which is AWESOME!
