Kiddo's In the Mist!

Spring is here, and you know what that means - Kiddo's in the Mist!

Charlie & Maggie In The Tunnel!

Charlie taught Maggie how to hide from Dada.  Not a good skill for Maggie!

Charlie and Maggie Chowing Down

Dada brought Charlie and Mags to the museum to give Mama a day off (She deserved it).

These two love to eat!

The Swings @ Grays House

Grtay has awesome swings at his house. 

Here's Charlie pushing Maggie!

You can predict how this ended -

Charlie Scores!

Charlie hasnt been to sports class in a long time since we've been traveling so much.  But when he got back it was HOCKEY TIME.  In Free-play Charlie must have scored 8 goals!

Here's a few -

With their teacher as a goalie!

Maggie is going to the beach!

Maggie knows the important words, like BEACH! and POOL!

Tractor time with Avery!

There's always a fun toy or two at Oval Park!

Maggie & Adelaide

This is Maggie's little friend Adelaide.  She's a little younger than Maggie, and they were being so cute yesterday at the park!

Charlie at the Carnival

Charlie and Mama went to the carnival (Maggie was sleepy, so Dada drove her around for an hour while they played!)

Charlie rode the teacups all by himself!

And the pirate ship (tea cup thing)

AND - somehow he got 3 for 3 in some dart-throwing game and won a prize.  He chose this!  He's pretty psyched!

Baby Goats

Every year this little farm near us has baby goat day where we get to play with baby goats!  Hooray!

Charlie's Pride

Charlie loves building legos.  This one is his pride and joy right now - R2D2.  It's 2000 pieces and intended for *adults* 16 and older.  He built it all by himself (with occasional help finding pieces).

So awesome.

Maggie Knows Her Animals!

And she does them all so cute!!

Marbles (5/4)!

We went to Marbles AGAIN

Marbles (4/4)

This is it from our Marbles trip a few weeks ago!

Maggie playing in the water table

She's a little chicken nugget!

And a helicopter pilot.  One day Maggie!

Marbles (3/4)

They have some GIANT versions of kids games at Marbles. Here's one called "Kerplunk", which Charlie loves to play with while Maggie was napping




Charlie demanded a Caesar Salad for lunch...

And Maggie demanded we go back to the water table after lunch!

Marbles (2/4)

Charlie and Maggie had so much fun in the morning at Marbles.  Here they are driving a car!

After a while at Marbles, Maggie fell asleep in the ergo  (so cute)

But this makes it hard to play with Charlie!  Luckily there are all sorts of Marbles people around who love to entertain kids while a sibling is sleeping.  Charlie wore out 3 of them!  They were all so much fun.  Charlie had a blast even during Maggie's nap-time!

Marbles (1/4)

I am getting ready for my family to come home so soon.  I miss them!  I realized I don't think I posted these pics from a few weeks ago when I took the kids to Marbles - here's a few shots.

First we had to go get bagles, and a nice older couple thought we were so adorable they took a picture!

I knew Maggie would learn hot to surf.  I didn't know how young she would be!

Playing in the water table!

Maggie driving the ambulance

Maggie's going to be an engineer!

Careers in Nano Technology!

That's my girl!

Charlie & Maggie love a Buffet

Especially a free one at a fancy Casino!  The family is in Reno to see our friend Carlos, and staying at a fancy Casino where Susie gets free stuff for some reason. 

Here are Charlie and Maggie dining on some stupendous cupcakes!

Cookie & Poppy & the Kids

Charlie loves his legos so much, he even got Grandma Cookie involved!

And Charlie's new favorite board game is (obviously) HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS.  (There was a time when noone was allowed to even touch the pool table.  Those days are over :) )

Maggie is hanging out under the pool table, too!  She's always in the mix.

Building Legos With the Big Kids

Here's Charlie hanging out with his cousins from Bre's Mom's Brother's Kid's Kids!

A Pre-School Picture

I don't get to see Charlie and Maggie when they're in California - but they put awesome pics up on Charlie's pre-school page.

Here's a great one!

Lego Land (2/2)

Susie kicking Charlie's bottom!  Oh my gosh.

Here we are stopping for snack!

Chilling out on mommy

Daddy "won" some toys for the kids.  (I spent enough money that they gave me the tiger)

Lego Land (1/2)

Charlie LOVES LEGO's. So what better place to go than LegoLand!  It's an amusement park geared towards kids under 12.  It's awesome.  Charlie can do a bunch of fun rides. 

First, you have to wake up early!

Then get in the car!

Sometimes Maggie gets sleepy

But she's ready for her plane ride!  (Actually, she did not enjoy this!)
