Easter Hunt 2010

It is so hard to wait until I can go and get those eggs. 3 minutes is such a long time!
Emily just waiting oh so patiently.
Lots of kids. Lots of eggs1
Sitting on our buckets.



The city every year puts on an Eggstravaganza. Eggs spread out on the soccer field in age groups. This year the aquatic center had a splash and dash but it was still a little to cold even for a heated pool. Tons of eggs filled with toys, candy and prize tickets. It starts at 10am and is done by 10:03 literally. They just woke up from nap and now it is time to decorate eggs and make cute little egg cakes. Ok let the mess, (I mean FUN) begin.

Christmas Pics 2009

Things never change. Always falling on big brother Chris.

Same sly look on his face. He is up to no good. Thats our KJ.

She picked out her dress this year. She loves beautiful dresses and being the center of attention.

Our family with great-grandpa. 4 generations here without my parents whom opted out of this one.

A more civilized bunch. Big brother says thank you! Merry Christmas to all.

Rose Parade Floats

We went to the viewing of the Rose Parade Floats and it is amazing to see all the work that went into these floats. All the little details covered with plants, seeds and all sorts of things.

The kids were more interested in the cotton candy and quickly became tired of walking.

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY

Way Back Wednesday....halloween 2008 Minnie and Mickey Mouse

Halloween 2006 dorothy and the cowardly lion

Halloween 2007 Raggedy Ann and Andy.......

Halloween 2009 was Woody and Jessie pictures to come later. This may be the last year I can put them as duo's for halloween. They are developing their own ideas and they usually dont coincide with each other......it was fun and cute while it lasted!!!

Halloween

She really wanted to be a princess or a fairy and this is probably the last year I will get to dress them up how I want.

Pumpkin Patch

Looking at Pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. It is so hard to believe that a year has gone by already.

Kings of the mountain and Chris with his oddly shaped pumpkin.

Our traditional yearly picture in the same place and same time.....doing the same thing.

Neighborhood Kids

Recently some kids have moved in and now the twins have friends their age. KJ's boy friend is exactly one year older, they have the same birthday. And Mimi's girl friend is a ouple of months older. It is so funny to see girls interact with each other. They literally run to each other and give big hugs when they see each other. It is very funny. Mimi likes to say I love you to everyone and she told our neighbor Troy the other day and she kept saying it and he didnt respond and finally after the 5th time he says to Mimi.......Im only 5 years old. It was pretty funny!

Magic Mountain

Our summer trip to Magic Mountian. We had free tickets so why not. Could I get one of these for my house? Can I lock them up in a cage? Probably not huh!
Chris was ready to go at this point but he did have fun too!

They have this looney tunes ball house. There are these foam balls that you can vaccum up and they fall from big machines. You can shoot them. It is really cool they spent most of their time in there.

Carosel always a big hit.

How many balls can I carry at once?

Summer Pictures!

We had a good summer together doing different things. We went to family functions.

Had a fashion show with great grandma's purses and hats.

Yes, even KJ, actually he is the one that started.

We went to a birthday party or two.

We went swimming, to Magic Mountain, and lots of trips to the park and the local bounce house.

Im glad to have spent the summer with them. Next year they will be entering kindergarten. I am ready to go back to work while grandma has fun with them again.

More Science Center Pics!

They have a kids place with fishing poles and magnets.

An area with setting up dominoes. This is where Christian spent most of his time.

A little room with computers. They all love and know how to use the computers.

This little house is where you added the rubber pieces like your building a house. KJ's favorite.

The old style telephone or at least it looks like it. One at each end YELLING at each other.

Science Center

Out in the parking lot they have a real truck attatched to a scale with different points. You can actually pull the rope to see at which point your effort pulls the truckup. You can see here they are at the middle point. The truck did move with some effort.

Great Grandpa and Emily trying at the hardest point.

You can see they "arent" pulling just looking cute.

Christian and his scientific theories on how to pull the rope.

My little popeye and his strenght determined to pull the truck up!!!

Well I thought for sure that over the summer, when I wasnt working I would be able to keep up on my blog here. Well that hasnt happened so Ill do it ALL on my last official day of summer vacation.

We took my grandpa to the science center and it is such a great place and all you have to do is pay to park.
