Enzo loves him some Snoopy and Knotts

"Watch the road, Mr. Truckdriver!"

LOVES honking that squeezie horn.


One of his favorites is riding the real steam engine train. Here he is, kicking back, enjoying the staffer's not-so-original-or-witty commentary.

... and then hypnotized by staring at the tracks.

He is now a pro on the good 'ol Huff N Puff. Looking at this pic, I can soo see him as a teenage driver. Oye.

My pep-talk, encouraging Enzo to enter the enormous Snoopy bouncy house with, get this, OTHER KIDS!!!

Although he stayed pretty much to the sides of the bounce house, where it wasn't much fun, it was a big step for him to have the courage to try it out. He traversed the entire diameter to see Dada, who snapped this pic.

He's not so sure about this one. Solo. Caged in. Without Mama and Dada.

What a mom will do for her child: Post a completely unflattering picture of herself to show the pure F.U.N. this kid is having.

From baby to little girl

All of a sudden, Gianna is a little girl. Sunglasses...

Rides at Knott's...

Cotton candy...

Bike rides...

Ear piercings...

(!!! ouch !!!)...

Ponytails...

More sunglasses...

And "the look."

Happy St. Paddy's Day

After receiving an adorbs St. Patty's Day card from the Klaus kids (that depicted their green festive hair), Enzo insisted his hair turn green for the holiday. So, off we went to Party City for green hair spray and I threw in some face paint just cause I'm a cool mom. Here, the excitement was barely containable as we tested it out yesterday.

The joy. I think this was even before I pulled out the mirror.

He preferred battle stripes as opposed to full green-face. (And I'll tell you I'm glad since scrubbing that little face was hard to do.)

My little leprechaun! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Play dates

Hangin out in the front yard with Gianna's friend and neighbor, Kyrsten.

Location two: Kyrsten and Kylan's house with mom Kathy.

Cousin Lukas cooking up some dinner for everyone.

Climbing and bouncing and balancing with Nana.

Enzo demands to be pushed, but will not push in return. Divo. At least Lukas is fueling himself up.

"I want to be autonomously mobile!!" (Yeah, she knows "autonomously.")

Baby Cousin Jules at her first playdate.

Testing out the new wagon.

And good fun with Jonathan and Carissa in San Gabriel. Bridgette needs to teach me how to make my own playdoh! (I didn't know I'd feel inadequate for buying it at the store. Hers was so moist and it had glitter in it!!!) And the kids decorated it with plastic eyeballs, legs, hats, etc.! Genius!

Enzo's first stop outside at their house is always their dope playhouse.

Gianna likes playdates.

And, Little Miss Artist Carissa is soo talented! She made this realistic bird out of playdoh. All by herself. I watched it with my own eyes.

Living room madness -- trampolines, horses, jumping and rocking!

Trikes and bikes (and trailers)

Gianna's first bike trailer ride!

"Go faster, Dada!"

Hookin it up, and inspecting the safety.

"Let's roll!"

Snow day

The sun's been out and the snow's been melting, but since we could still spot the powder (or ice) on the local mountians, we headed straight for em. Jackets on. Air was chilly. The kids are not used to either.

Gianna's just not sure.

The maiden voyage of our brand new sled. And Dad scoping the landscape.

Mister cool guy. So nonchalant.

And once we returned, Enzo was so pleased with himself that he brought home some snow. And an eye infection.
