First Trip To Chuck E Cheese

I have lots of fond memories of Chuck E. when I was a kid. I think it actually started out as Showbiz Pizza and later converted. It is funny how not that much has changed since I was there last. You still get tokens, see the animatronics Chuck E. and friends, play skeeball, basketball and whack a mole and eat pizza. The one difference is the ticket counters are all automated and make a funny chomping noise as you feed the tickets in. Although, after the 400th ticket, the chomping can get to be a little annoying. So, Aubrey had a good time, and enjoyed the ride with Chuck E. as well as the big yellow school bus that bounced around. The pizza was surprisingly good, and for $20 a good time was had by all. I even got to spend a few tokens.

Look I have a toy on my head

During the hot summer days, we would go outside and play in the pool or with the new water toys. Sometimes the water toys found their way inside and onto people's heads, as was the case today.

Great Grandma Marge has fun

We asked great grandma Marge to take care of the kids for the afternoon, so that all the adults could go out and have some fun. Look.... everyone is smiling go great grandma Marge, we'll see you later!

I better catch up

So I know it has been a while since the last post. I need to catch up and I intend to do so. I left off with Aubrey and tortellini, so we return to the action with our heroine still soaking up the late summer sun. As you all know, we LOVE Hawaii, so we wanted to make sure our Aubrey is prepared for the vacations in Maui. This looks like a pretty cute start...

Let's hope this works

Let's Eat Some Tortellini!

Tortellini is another fun thing to eat when you are a baby. It makes a great mess and even greater pictures. Notice the sauce in the ear/hair area of picture number 1. :)

Let's Eat

One of the joys of having children is making them eat their vegetables, just like your parents made you. So, with Aubrey, we have followed all the recommendations of the parenting books and magazines, making Aubrey try things 10-12 times before giving up on foods. Not 10-12 times in one sitting mind you, but maybe a couple. Here is Aubrey giving some peas a try. Sometimes we feed her, but this time she was really adamant about feeding herself. As a parent you have to know when to let go....
