Fun times!

Well, let's wrap up the past week. The weather was nice, so we loved being outside last week. Well, we did a ton so I will be as brief as possible.

We went on lots of stroller rides to the park, Starbucks, the farmers' market and the bookstore! We really love our neighborhood!

We got this really cool sand and water table. Good for hours of building, digging and exploration. We also like to get really wet so mom bought us each 2 swimsuits so we can play!

James's favorite hangout....the Museum of Transportation! Coolest place around for kids (big and little) who love trains.

We did plenty of eating outside. Our goal was to eat near the tracks so we could see a train pass by. We went to Dr. Jazz- no train....We went to Route 66 and as we were eating outside on the patio we heard choo choo. A train passed by and Ben walked across the street with James and the boys were maybe 5 feet from the train!

The Magic house is always fun. We especially like the new outside exhibits!

A Messy Mother's Day

We sure did have fun making this painting! The kids were covered from head to toe in paint and the floor was so slippery that everyone was sliding all over the place. Now I have a wonderful painting, done on Mother's Day, that I can display and always remember this time together.

James cracks himself (and Sammy) up!

James and Sammy are good buds as anyone can tell. James has learned that making this nasty noise really cracks people up!

Sock monkey and a morning at the park

Alex and I had fun swinging at this cool park in Fenton. We met our friends Brooke, Nash and Margot also.

Do you like my new do? Piggytails!!

Don't let these sweet piggytails fool you. I am about to dump this milk all over the floor, then smear it with my hands.....

"Cheese!!!"

This sock monkey is my new buddy. He is now wearing a diaper and I like to put a bib on him when he "eats"

Crawfish Boil!!

We went to a crawfish boil today at Brooke and Rays. There were a bunch of people there and a ton of kids. We had a blast! Check out the videos.



"Look Nash, crawfish!"



Kiki isn't quite sure if she should eat this...

James found a new friend....

Thanks for mom for making this shirt. It was a hit!

And now the videos!!

Brooke is brave....

"You suck!!!!!"

Kiki walks with chair

Kiki loves to use her chair as a walker. She goes all over the room, sometimes James will join in on the fun and race her or walk side by side. See for yourself, so cute!

Soccer player

Future soccer player, perhaps? James and Ben love to kick the ball back and forth and play soccer. Her is James practicing before the big game, unfortunately he was a bit distracted be "Charlie", the neighbor's dog....

Popo tells a joke....

Silly kids

Peek a boo!

Wow, a picture of Kiki and me....thanks Grandma!

Moo, Baa, LaLaLa!
