Pod Casts & Strollers

Charlie is super into a Pod-Cast called "But Why?" - it's a science pod-cast for kids.  Here's how he likes to listen to it on long walks with Mama!

Real Recognize Real

From Pre-School

Charlie's Sports Class

Charlie is awesome at sports class - the coach often takes Charlie and has him demonstrate what the kids should all do!  Here they are - all not moving for a brief moment.

Digging for Dino Bones

We didn't find any bones, but we sure got muddy!

Maggie and the Walking Stick

At the museum they had the walking sticks out and about, and you could give one a high-five!  Maggie was so brave and wanted to play with it!  (Charlie was not interested)

Maggie the Ham

I think this girl has a future on stage - she is such a ham!  Here she is at Notasium singing and dancing!

Pig Tails

Sometimes you gotta have pig-tails for dinner time!



Charlie too!

A Cute Family Photo?

At least we're all looking at the camera!

Meeting the Characters!

Like I said, Maggie loves to meet the characters!  She really loves WildStyle!

No Fun And Games

On the Roller Coasters it's all fun and games.  But on Ninjago it's all SERIOUS BUSINESS as we all try and get the high-score.  (Mama always wins though!)

By Far Maggie's Favorite Ride

This is by far Maggie's favorite ride.  She calls it "the little boats" and you go around and there are lego versions of a bunch of fairy-tale's.  And Maggie makes you tell her the stories.... 1,000 times.

Roller Coaster Faces

Daddy is a sucker for getting the day-pass for photos at lego-land.  Because... ITS AWESOME.


We always try to make funny faces on the roller coasters!

Skim Boarding Videos

Charlie legitimately got going a few times!

Maggie too!

Learning to Skim Board

Both Charlie and Maggie tried to skim board on this trip!  Videos soon!

Aunt Kristen @ The Beach

Chilling at the beach is great... but what's even better?  Chilling with Aunt Kristen! (The other aunt kristen!)

These tattoos lasted forever

Aunt Kristen & Van Pelt Beach

The Van Pelt's came with us for a quick beach weekend - checkout our kids being cute together!

Another Beach Trip!?

You Betcha!

This was back a few months ago, but the weather was splendid!

In case you thought I was kidding about the Bananas

They even got Wolverine Involved!

Some Pics of Mags at Pre-School

She is a student athlete!

Cleaning Bananas?

For some reason, Avery and Charlie are obsessed with cleaning whenever Avery comes over to play.  I mean, there are worse things!

But they insist on cleaning the Banana's with Maggie wipes...

Play Date!

Charlie and Maggie love there friends.

Here's Charlie holding Adelaide's hand -



And Mabel pushing Maggie!

Little Drummer Girl

They have a drumming exercise class for little kids at the Y.  Maggie hasn't been, but I think she'd fit right in - she loves to bang on any instrument and SING!

A little serious time

Just kidding!

But this is what these kids look like when they try and give us the grumps.

Meeting the Characters

Maggie gets so excited to meet lego characters.  Charlie could not care less.  But Maggie gets WAY into it - here she is with miscellaneous lego princess #7.  But Mags is psyched.

You are not allowed to stand up in the Lego boats

Maggie did not know that.  And this picture came out adorable even if it was illegal!

Flying with Mags

Maggie loves this little helicopter ride at LegoLand - these pics are still from California, but we just got back from LegoLand Florida!  More pics of that soon.  First, future Hot-Shot Maggie!

ZIP LINE

Charlie is such a good brother - he is so careful with Maggie and helps her do the ZIP line at Nana and Gaga's house!

Some Lego Characters!

The kids are pretty into posing with Lego Characters!  Especially Maggie, who has to hug them all!

Maggie looking Stylish!

I love this photo of Maggie!

Snacks with Nana

That's right where Maggie wants to be!

Another Kids Museum

If these museums do their job, we're going to have the smartest kids on the planet!

Touching sharks!

I don't think I would have touched these sharks... but the kids are braver than their Daddy!
