Chuck E. Cheese

I worked on Thursday night so Uncle Aaron and Grandma Kitty took Ruby, Lucy and Auggie to Chuck E. Cheese.

Ruby and the head of the Sponge Bob Squarepants fan club, Lucy.

Let me outta here!!

Uncle Aaron and Grandma Kitty brought this odd little man home with them.

Ruby, Lucy and Grandma Kitty left Friday morning after three days of solid fun.  I'm pooped.  We can't wait until Ruby and Lucy come and visit again.

Build-A-Bear

Grandma Kitty and I took Auggie and the girls to Build-A-Bear (is Grandma Kitty awesome or what?!).  This was Auggie's first experience at B.A.B.  We picked out the coolest animal (a dinosaur) for him which was actually Auggie's birthday present from his girlfriend Michaya.  I supplied the necessary motorcycle to accompany the dino and Grandma Kitty was in charge of wardrobe.

Here's a photo of the aftermath...all that animal building wore the kids out.  Note Auggie is cuddling his motorcycle, not his dinosaur whom we named, "Francis Rex Toynton".

Ruby giving some love to her brand new wolf, Bido.

Lucy cuddling with Butterscotch the kitty.  Note Butterscotch is wearing lovely pink jammies!

Francis, the dino, looking a mix tough and collegiate...a well-balanced dinosaur.

Climbing With Cousins

Auggie, Lucy and Ruby climbing on the play equipment next to the pools.

Lucy was very vigilant of Auggie.  Here she is making sure that Auggie makes it down the slide alright.

Auggie deep in concentration in the sand area.

Swimming With Cousins Part II

My mom brought Auggie's cousins, Ruby and Lucy, to visit us in Brookfield.  We had a lot of fun and kept ourselves very busy.  Here are the first set of photos.  We took Auggie and the girls to Wirth Park to swim, eat ice cream cones, climb and play in the sand.

Hey, is that bashful Grandma Kitty hiding behind Auggie?!

Gymnastics!

Niccoli and I are shopping around for a new gymnastics class for the boys.  Auggie is still attending his gymnastics class in Cedarburg but since the move the drive there is too much to take.  Today we took the boys to Swiss Turners Gym in West Allis.

Auggie is in love with his own reflection-healthy sense of self esteem.

Coming out the end of the tunnel.

Our Olympian.

Ultimately Niccoli and I decided Swiss Turners had a few too many rules for our little guys to follow.  There were several very "serious" little gymnasts who were less than patient with our boys antics.

Swimming With Cousins

Auggie and I met Auntie Michelle, Kendall and Addison at Wirth Park this afternoon.  I think Auggie is sprouting gils on the side of his head.

Auntie Michelle, Addison, Auggie and Kendall...too cute!

First Dinner Guests

We had our first guests over for dinner at our new house, the Andersons!  As always, Auggie and Gordy had a blast.  Here are a few photos of the boys exploring the outdoors.

The boys had fun taking turns driving each other around on the trusty tractor.

Mathew lends a helping hand to the boys.

Auggie enjoys mixing his sports and creating new ones.
