Tree Climbing

This morning the boys and I met some friends in the park for a little tree climbing.
Grayson was excited to join in and quickly scampered up the tree.

Cole couldn't get that high, but he seemed content to check out the leaves and sticks.
However, after a few minutes, it was obvious he was going to get filthy.
What mother could let her baby get that dirty...

...without getting a picture of it.

firetruck birthday

Nothing goes together better than kids and firetrucks. This birthday party was no exception. The kids had a great time with Nana and Grandpa riding a converted firetruck and doing some target practice with fire extinguishers.

Disneyland 5k

Does getting up at 5:30 am to run 3.25 miles sound like your idea of fun? It does if you are Emily and you are running through Disneyland with all the characters cheering you on. Here she shows off her fine running form.

Here she shows off her winning smile and finisher's medal.
Go Dobbles Go!

Pretend City

This week we decided to check out a new kid museum called Pretend City.
We started out in the grocery store.
Emily served up some yummy sandwiches at the deli counter.

Grayson took a cruise around the city streets in his hot rod. Good thing he was wearing his orange safety vest so everyone would see him coming.

We decided to slow things down a bit and do a little gardening.

Next, it was time for Cole's checkup at the health center.
He looked pretty calm as he played in the waiting room.

Then he met Dr. Dobbles and he wasn't so sure he was ready for this doctor visit.

He decided to make a run for it. Run Cole Run!
