Touch-a-truck March 2010

The city of Glendale does a yearly event called Touch-a-Truck. Here are some pictures from our visit:





Here's the world famous Wienermobile:


I wasn't going to post this one, but then I found the one we took last year and I thought it was too cute not to post them both. You can really tell how much they've grown!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here are some pics from the Valentine's day party at school:







I was so excited because I actually got to go! My school was having parent confernces so I was able to leave work early!

Christmas!

Here are the kids opening their stockings. I love the fact that again this year, the kids were happy with what they got in their stockings and didn't even ask about any other gifts. I know that won't last for too many more years!





Opening some gifts:



Some of their new toys:



Elizabeth and Daddy putting together some toys for the new Diego house:



It's a Spongebob Christmas!!! Besides their SB pjs, they got SB books, puzzles, and James got a SB toothbrush holder! (that's baby James, not Daddy James)

We love reading!

Elizabeth and Joshua just looked so cute reading together I had to take a couple pictures!

The Polar Express

Here are a few pictures from the Polar Express train ride. We all had a really good time. I think the kids were a little young to get the idea that we were going to the North Pole to see Santa, but they loved the train ride and loved seeing Santa. Next year they might put the two together. Add don't mind how cute I look, I was just getting over a stomach bug! :(

Snow!

We took the kids up to Williams, AZ in Dec to take a ride on the Polar Express. When we got to the hotel we first took the kids outside to play in the snow (we didn't travel far, the hotel parking lot will do!)

Nice picture :)

We came outside one day and saw this:

Making a gingerbread house

Making a gingerbread house (Nov. 2009)

Here's Daddy explaining how to carefully put the icing on: (notice Daddy's cute example)


Then Daddy realized that ziplock bags of icing is too hard for the kids so he gave them knives to spread the frosting:





Of course I don't have a finish project to show you (duh mom!). But Daddy put all the pieces together and it was on our dining room table for a month or so. The kids really enjoyed looking at it and dinner time and talking about which side was theirs :)
