Tramp-o-daddy

Granna and Poppa and my daddyrabbit took me out to eat for my birthday. Yes - I turned 30! on the 30th (of May)! Afterwards they came back to the house and boy did my kids wear their grand-daddy rabbit out on the trampoline. Here they are tackling him.
Here they are getting some serious air.

Discovering Rides!

We went ahead and bought season passes to Discovery Kingdom and here are the photos of our first trip there. I'll try not to bore you throughout the summer with endless photos of our trips, but here are some cute ones :)
Jason and Oli waiting in line to ride Thomas the Tank Engine.
Oli enjoying his Zebra ride.
Me and the two eldest riding the Carosel.
Say Hi! We're on Harold the Helicopter!
Aurelia with Sir Topham Hatt.

We discovered that there are LOTS of fun rides for the kids, but we didn't take too many photos this day. It was cold and windy and we were not prepared (clothing-wise) but we made the best of the day and kids had a GREAT time!

A Fair Day

We went to the fair! First we visited the shark exhibit. Here's Lily, Ezra and Aurelia.
The two "little" guys. Isaac and Oliver.
The Clown, with Mima and Aurelia.
The gang (except me and Oli) watching the Animal Follies show.
The BIG SLIDE. Not only did we get into the fair FREE, but we also got BOGO unlimited rides wristbands. Pretty awesome. So here's Aunty Kitty with Aurelia.

Then came Ezra.
Last, with ARMS UP, is Lily.


Here's Oli enjoying some snacks while the rest ride the Carosel.Here's Ezra totally enjoying the motorcycles!
Here's Aurelia in the kids' section inside the skating rink building. It was so nice to come inside out of the heat and play. There was SO much for the kids to do. We stayed for over an hour and still didn't play with everything! Aurelia put these together, by the way. The rocket and the airplane.

Oli's making some music; drumming like his daddy -- and LOVING it!

Ezra. So proud of his creations. I love that smile!

It was a good day!

Playing Dress-Up

Oliver as Hitler . . .
Aurelia as the beautiful bride I'm sure she'll one day be (that's my veil and those are my gloves!)
Ezra in drag -- but isn't he pretty!

Laugh Out Loud!

I love you , Oli! Here he is laughing at some fish he saw on TV.

Second Child Syndrome

Maybe it's because I haven't worked as hard with him. Maybe it's because he's a boy. Maybe it's because he's easily distracted . . . did I catch a number 4 in there? It's hilarious. Enjoy.

Ezra loves to Play(dough)

I didn't realize how much Ezra loves playdough until we pulled some out the other morning.
