Get us out of the HEAT! 2 moms and 4 kids headed to Big Bear, California! Yes, we were out numbered! BUT we had a plan! 70 degree highs and 'sleeping with the windows open' lows! Lots of hiking, biking, and fresh air ought to get them tired......so we thought! The first night the kids were up LATE, but thankfully each night after they went to bed earlier and earlier. Dinners were a breeze too, we rode bikes for an hour before and even the pickiest of our eaters couldn't help but lick the plate clean (well almost anyway). A fun vacation with our friends, the Danners, looking forward to doing it again soon!

Charlie turned "2" on July 2nd!

Our little two year old is FAST! He is CLEVER, and QUICK! He is a two armed HUGGER, and a RASPBERRY  blower. He wears hats, well maybe just ONE, and loves his RAIN BOOTS. He already wants to be a SOCCER player, and his brother's BEST FRIEND. His favorite foods include GRAPES, BANANAS, and CHEESE, but NOT Zucchini. He only eats TOMATOES from our garden, and if someone is opening a snack, YOU better SHARE! He doesn't sit thru a story but loves to read books. He is fond of the SOFT and CUDDLY, and startled by things that are LOUD. I am proud to be your mama and happy you are my #2, because HOLY MOLEY, if I had met you first........we might have stayed a family of 3! LOL Love you Char Char!

Daddy made you a yummy apple spice Soccer Ball cake!
