CAL' I' FORNI' HERE I COME!

Here we have a new found Charlie enjoying the wooden rocking horse.

Oh yes, Charlie is drooling and no, I did not put oil (or grease)on him.

This is Jonathan, 4 yrs old, the boys didn't know what to do , but Jon, Jon did. He was very sweet to the boys and took brakes from them and did some kid friendly computer games.

We have Logan here, the orange wrench and blue hammer were rarely out of Logan's hands. So now I know what to get him for his birthday.

This is Jonathan driving around at Fun land. It won't be to long before he is behind the wheel.

This is Matthew, he is two weeks older than the boys and talks very well and sings "Twinkle twinkle little star" like a pirate, all the "R's" were fun to hear. If you thought the boys hair was curly!

This reminded me of Blake, I'm not scared, I'm just closing my eyes. -Logan

We had the privilege of riding Thomas The Engine. The boys liked seeing other characters and waving at other people.

Matthew and Dee were driving behind Jonathan saying "I gonna get you"!

Logan liked the Thomas ride much better, no eyes being covered up.

All the boys road Harvey the Helicopter from Thomas the engine shows .

More info on the actual trip. In Oregon we stopped by for a stretch and some lunch at Jason , Lindsay and Gwen's home, we also met up with Gary and Sue there. The boys did pretty well until Charlie pulled Gwen off a toy, she was fine but shocked on how she ended up on the floor so quickly. That was our sign to get back on the road. We stopped for the night in Medford for the trip down and back up, the boys loved the hotel rooms and had to check out every thing.

The meeting with Dee, Jonathan, and Matthew was good and the boys took to their toys quickly. David came home later after work and Charlie warmed up to him first and loved to show him how well he could dance and did so, often. Logan had his moments of behaving very well and other times not so much. He warmed up to Dee the day before leaving, of course. We did manage to get them off the milk bottle all together, cold turkey YEAH!

We had the boys take baths several more times then they usually do and we didn't get any complaints from them, so we were all happy with extra bath time. With them getting their hair cut, the tub was helpful to calm them.

Finally before we knew it, it was time to go back to Washington and head into the rain and clouds greeting us at the boarder.

Easter Time

This is how many eggs Logan was able to get before finding a very long stick.

Charlie on the other hand found one egg then proceeded to play with whatever seemed fun at the time.

Again there are many ways I can go with these pictures, so I'll let you people reading and seeing their pictures come to your own conclusions. ( what is it about boys and sticks?)

Corbin had no problem and did a great job finding the rest of the eggs that the boys left on the ground. ( you can't tell he had fun, huh)

After finding the eggs and playing outside, Grandma let the boys help plant some flowers. They really enjoyed the hand shovel, but were confused about why they needed to put the plants into the planters box.

Get ready, get set, go!

There is no volume, but I'm singing to my momma.

Don't worry mommy I know you did this when you were my age, grandma told me so.

Hey Mom, I'm a cute guy, huh ! (Logan)

Just sitting back and relaxing. ( Charlie)

It's so much fun, I got to do it again.

Logan has found that he can have fun spinning into his old crib-boarder and falling down and doing it again.

Charlie has picked out a basketball a few weeks ago, he loves to play with it until he takes his nap and when he wakes up he's ready to find the ball and play again.

Playtime

We are at the point that getting out of the house is necessary for staying sane. So we packed up the boys and visited some friends down in Oregon. The trip down was nice and we only had to stop once for lunch and stretch out our legs.

Our plan was to go to the Portland zoo or go to the Children's Museum depending on the weather for the next day. The next morning we look out the window and it's snowing? Oh well the Children's Museum it is, the boys did great, Logan really enjoyed the Bob the Builder area and Charlie enjoyed the wandering around with Aaron and they both had fun at the water area even though the water spray was at their face level.

Aaron and I enjoyed talking to adults again and the many mishaps of our kids. We also were introduced to the game Rock Band, for those who don't know what that is I'll try to explain. It's playing fake instruments : guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. The point is to try to hit the keys and play together like a band it's weird but, fun.

Boys just wanna have fun!

What makes two boys this tired at the end of the day, well take a look

It was a great sunny day to visit Grandma Audrey's house, so we played outside for awhile.

At grandmas house there is a old bathtub outside in with her flowers, I don't think Logan cares as long as he gets to steer (shower faucet).

Logan and Charlie went over to check out the vegetable garden and the fencing that was keeping them from pulling out all the wonderful new plants they've never seen.

Charlie thought that all the dirt hills on the ground wasn't right, so he decided to fix the problem.

The boys in the cotton hats was a different day and much colder, but did not stop the boys from having a good time.( Logan in brown, Charlie in green)

Life is a Driveway

Logan in the Burgundy jacket and Charlie is in the bright Red "awesome" Spider man jacket ( I was told by a four yr old boy) in a waiting room, better then a 4o yr old comic guy.

Well the boys are taking advantage of their curious nature and decided that they need to see what all the rocks and brown puddles were for. Charlie took to the rocks first then saw a small puddle to get into, this lasted for about 10Min's.

Logan on the other hand saw the rocks and after being told several times that the rocks are not to be put in his mouth, he thought maybe the rose bushes would be a better idea, I know this does not sound like a good idea, but he didn't get poked once by the thorns, that was a surprise.

So if you have in accident prone child, put him in a room full of needles and he won't be hurt, but put him in a room with everything padded and put up out of reach and he'll hit his head or get hurt some how? I mean really, God must have a sense of humor.
