The Zoo!

We had a blast with the Marshall's this weekend...we started the weekend with a trip to the petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano. It was so much fun as you can see by the pictures.

On the kiddie train ride that would not end!

With Uncle Vibes

Charlee says, "I love goats!"...

"But my daddy, not so much!"

Downtown Disney with the Harmons

We had a great time meeting the Harmons at Downtown Disney for dinner and shopping. They are in town from Connecticut for the summer. Here are some shots.

Charlee is so regal!

Poker Face

Charlee Marie's favorite song is "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. Everytime it comes on the radio in the car she starts singing and dancing. Here is a short video I caught of her groovin to the tunes!

Shake-in and a Quake-in!

As many of you know we have been hit by two small-ish earthquakes over the last few days...hopefully this is the worst of it! Well Charlee does not seem to know the difference and keeps on being adorable. This afternoon she was taking her baby and giving it kisses and trying to give it her binkie...such a good sharer! She is also really excited about her fish tank and waves to them all the time. We are loving Norm almost done with school and have had such a treat with him home the last few nights. He has class tonight but then it is almost over! Here are some cute shots of Charlee.

Cousin Bonding

The best part of our weekend up North for me was seeing Gracie and Charlee bonding. As soon as we got there they were buddies. They are going to grow up so close together it is so fabulous! Here are some pictures of Mothers Day heading home.

This was a super cute game they played...Charlee would sit in the baby doll stroller and Gracie would push and then they would switch. So funny!

Pops is carrying on the car tradition by introducing Gracie to the wonderful world of Hot Wheels!

Charlee was such a ham at the airport. Our flight was delayed but Charlee did not care...this just gave her more time to wave at arriving passangers and make friends. It was so cute...she was the hit of the Southwest terminal!
All that partying and waving plum wore her out. She sacked out in the plane...ahhhhh

Gracie Turns 2!

Anya, Pops, Charlee and I headed up to San Jose last week to celebrate Gracie's 2nd birthday! I can't believe she is two...what a wonderful and amazing kid she is. I will let the pictures speak for themselves on how much fun Gracie's party was. These are pics from Anya's camera...there were 150 to choose from!

The bouncy house was a huge hit...even Pops got in on the action

Charlee loved the bouncy house too...so fun!

Charlee spent a ridiculous amount of time in the little baby pool-- dress and all! Her hair got all curly and was so cute...made her look even more like Norm!

We were lucky enough to have Amy, Larrs, Ethan, Aiden and Aunt Deb drive up for the big event...it was cousin-mania! Toward the end of the party day and still going in their matching dresses...dirt and water are the favorite accessory

Washing the day away in the bath

After Charlee went to sleep I got some serious Aiden snuggle time...Ethan came over for a visit. Jim and I had a fishing tourney using Amy and Larrs' i-Phone's. I kicked his toosh! Ethan is helping me decide which bait to use :O)

Cutie Pie

I don't think anyone ever told Charlee there is a law against texting and driving! Our baby girl is doing new tricks everyday. Lately she loves to push Girdie's bed over to the couch so she can climb on up. She loves opening and shutting doors...who knew that could be so much fun?! She also has figured out how to stand on her tippy toes and reach the door handle and open it herself...we are in trouble!
