Addicted to Noggin

Tagged:

Noggin is a channel for toddlers/preschool aged kids on TV. It will pretty much melt an adults brain after about an hour of watching it, but Chloe and Claire love it. When their favorite shows come on (Blue's Clues, Jack's Big Music Show, The Wonderpets, etc) they are glued to the TV.

Their favorite part is in-between shows when this cartoon Moose guy comes on and sings songs. They dance around and try to sing along.

The heat is on

Tagged:

As I type this, the temperature outside is 104 degrees. Ah sweet sweet Fresno. Since it is pretty much too hot to go out and do anything (for fear that the stroller wheels might melt) we have been dividing our time between the air conditioned house and swimming pool.

Jamie picked up a pair of life jackets for the girls to sport when they are in the pool. They do their job, which is to keep the girls afloat and on their back, but playing with them on is kind of tough. Like if they just want to stand on the step and play, they can't because they just float away like a buoy. I think that Chloe and Claire like their little floating cars the best so far.

Aside from pool time we have just been rolling around on the floor playing peek-a-boo and generally having an awesome weekend.

A wedding weekend

Tagged:

We headed over to Santa Maria last weekend for Markie and Stacy's wedding.  The wedding was great and the reception was a ton of fun. The girls did great, both during the drive and at the wedding. At first it seemed like they might have a melt down, but once the Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, etc. etc. stepped up to help out Chloe and Claire got into a happy groove.

I'm glad I'm not a professional photographer. I think there were around 500 pictures on my memory card when I got home and not really any photos to write home about. In my defense, I think Jamie snapped a lot of them (hehe). Anyway, I still have much to learn when it comes to taking great photos, especially outdoors. I'm sure it can be fixed by buying more gear though... *hides from Jamie*

Claire and Chloe's First Birthday

Tagged:

Claire and Chloe had their first birthday party yesterday and it was a great time! We had great food, a lot of family and friends, cake, presents, the works. It is still hard for me to believe that my girls are a year old now. It seems like just yesterday that I was posting this entry.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the party!

Girls playing in the hall

Tagged:

The girls were playing in the hallway a few nights ago. They are both walking around like champs now, except for the part at the end of the video where Claire slams into the wall.

A weekend at the lake

Tagged:

We headed up to the lake on Saturday. The girls got their first overnight camping experience and Sammie got some much deserved swim time.
