Hello again...

Happy belated Halloween. I don't know what possessed me, but I was looking through this old blog and I missed it. I simply just missed it. So I decided to dust it off and post. I hope you are sitting down. We had some glorious rain this morning, I was hoping it would continue all day long but that didn't happen.

Here are some photos that I love for reasons you will understand.

Charlie requested the Purple Dinosaur when he was in pre-school. Look at him holding his hands up out of nervousness and look at Audrey below doing almost the same thing.

My mom added some purple grosgrain ribbon at the tail, which made it easy to carry and a flowery patch on the tail from when Charlie wore it and it dragged on the ground. Simple and easy and as good as new!
"The brothers", as Audrey calls them were thrilled to go watch her little Halloween parade. So were Grammie, Papa and auntie.


Happy November!

Easter

Hope you had a lovely Easter.

Legoland!

We went to Legoland yesterday with some families from our school group. One of the moms in the group called Legoland, and I don't know how she did it but she finagled a great price for us. It was busy, it is spring break, after all. Despite that, you know we had a good time. Even with the crowds, the sun that would pop up peridically and the long, long lines. We cannot or will not be deterred! Here are some photos. I can only take credit for the ones that Robert is not in, otherwise they were all taken by him. The park closed at six and by then, it really was time to go. We had dinner in downtown Carlsbad at a great Mexican restaurant and a nice drive home that wasn't filled with traffic. All in all, a very good day.

Welcome! Of course it is made entirely of Legos.

A little preview of the much anticipated, Star Wars Miniland...

Audrey's first ride!

Every bit as cool as it looked...

Oh Chewie...

Don't let that smile fool you. She didn't know whether to be scared or not. Either way, she LOVED it.

Everyone loved this one...

Yay for Bob the Builder!

Aquazone fun...

Mapping out our next adventure...

True love...

Good acting boys, I'm sure everyone will believe it is cold...

CA history day

Hello! Still here, I just like to keep you guessing. :) Just kidding. We had a great December and a really nice January too. Maybe I will get on the ball and post some pics. from last month. After all, it was a big deal around here. Audrey turned 3! And in December, Harrison turned 10! Double digits. We had a lot of fun on his birthday, we took a tour of a local airport with his friends. But for now, I am posting pictures from yesterday. We went out to Orange to the Irvine Ranch Park. It was a beautiful day, I am glad it was yesterday and not today. Today it is raining lightly. The park put on a California History Day for 4th graders complete with a train ride, a gold mine, panning for gold and a visit to a miner's camp. We all went and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We met up with a few families from our school group and went on our tour with them. Here are some photos. Enjoy!

flop

Well that December daily(ish) business sure was a flop, wasn't it? I had great intentions, yes I did. I have a computer full of photos just waiting for captions. So what happened? I wish I knew.

But today was definitely worthy of a post. Not just because it is 1/11/11, well that and it happens to be my parent's anniversary. :)Happy anniversary mom and dad.
