Bob the Builder

This last weekend we took the girls and "Ma" up to Fresno to the Fresno Metropolitan Museum to check out the "Bob the Builder" exhibit. What a time we had!!! Maddie was in hog heaven! There was so much to play with and experiment with and it was all age appropriate. They had beach balls suspended in the air by an air current, vacuums that shot balls up to the top of a Plinko board and she watched the balls trickle down. She also played with a spinning wheel, an air pump and a whole bunch of other stuff. Again, she was loving life! Afterward we went to a restaurant called Sweet Tomatoes (think Soup Plantation) and she enjoyed some yummy food and chocolate ice cream... which ended up on her shirt... check out the last pic.

Summer Visitors

This summer we were lucky enough to host my family (minus "Gandad") and here are some of the pictures. Heath and Thais came first... actually let me restate that. Heath and "Wendy" came to visit at the end of July. On one of our drives we were watching the Incredibles and Maddie asked "Ah her name?" and Courtney, thinking she was talking about someone on the movie simply stated "Wendy". Little did we know that Maddie was talking about Thais. So for the rest of the trip Thais was known as Wendy. Even when we tried to correct her she would just get upset... so we stuck with it. We went swimming and walked to the park and just enjoyed each others company.

Then the following weekend Nana and "Aunt Mackensey" came. I always call my sister "Mac" but Maddie was having none of that and would refuse to call her anything but Mackensey. We had a ton of fun doing Nana and Mac things including looking at the stars and playing in the backyard. We also celebrated Maddie's birthday early with Nana and Mac.

What a blast! Enjoy the pics!

Going Way Back...

Alright gang, so its been awhile since the last post and I have grown tired of trying to explain why I suck at prompt posting. Suffice it to say that two little girls, family visits, and job stress make blogging a somewhat low priority.

So here are some pictures for your enjoyment. You can see that Miss Eva is growing like a weed. She loves to stand with Mom and Dad's help and spends much of her time drooling, babbling, nursing, and smiling. She is a very happy baby but has some serious drool issues.

This is Maddie's ice cream chair...

The Following Pics are from my best buddy Eric's wedding. Though Maddie wasn't a flower girl, I think she secretly wanted to be.

The following pics are from our neighbor Julia's 2nd birthday. Yeah, they had ponies.

Yeah, the horse dude was kinda freaky... think Peter Pettigrew from the Harry Potter movies.
