Random Good Stuff

We enjoyed the Cubs game and their big (and only) win over the Dbacks while they were in town. We also actually were able to watch the game since the kids stayed home. A nice date at the ballpark for us!

Carson, Doug & Charlie (demonstrating his standing skills)

Playing blocks!

Didn't care about the "name stack" next to him...
just wanted to come get mom and the camera!

Carson proudly displaying his name

Look at my tower! (see his name in there?)

Easter and more...

Carson playing playdough with his new rolling pin from Grandma Mary


Happy Easter!
Hunting eggs on Easter morning

Charlie hunting his own eggs

Having fun finding the eggs..
and finding out what was in 'em!

Easter 2009
Charlie almost 8 months; Carson a month from 3



The Easter bunny left a Cubs hat and glove!

I caught these two reading lego magazines together on the couch

And here comes trouble...
Charlie loves this cupboard which is fine because it is dedicated to miscellaneous containers for tiny fingers to tamper with!

Our little curious Charlie

Our standing Charlie!

He pulled himself up to standing for the first time all by himself on Easter Sunday.

All smiles in my highchair


Carson

"What?! I'm not getting into trouble, I swear!"

Feltes Family Visit

We had a great week with my brother Todd, his family and my parents. They drove all the way from Minnesota to visit Mar. 30 - Apr. 4. I think I was actually the one getting a vacation as we played golf twice at Troon North and Todd and I climbed Camelback Mountain one morning.

Our second day of golfing... Troon North Pinnacle Course

Gorgeous dessert views


This is what a saguaro looks like after it dies

Glad to be golfing and not in the cold...


Me!



One of the best views on the course. Off in the right is Pinnacle Peak.

Doug was able to join up with us on the back 9
