This was just this past weekend at a friend's daughter's birthday...Zoey is STILL wearing that hat.

Aww...holding Milo (or choking Milo) in the chair.

Playing in Zoey's bed before bath or was it before getting dressed in the morning...regardless...two of the toughest times of my day.  LOL  Below is more of the Trike...all is great with the scenario pictured below until Zoey goes fast and Milo doesn't let go. 
 

 
Zoey and Ever waiting patiently while Allison and I pick up our race packets for the Camarillo Half Marathon.
 Sprinkler time.

And the pics below were taken on Mother's Day...see caption in the "Milo Pics" in the following post.
  

She's found that sense of independance that only riding your first bike can bring...we've actually put MILES on this thing and wouldn't it be funny to put her in a kids "splash/pedal and dash" with a trike! 

 

       
For some reason I didn't have the camera out much this month...guess I've been running, swimming and biking too much...selfish Mommy.  Maybe I should give the camera to Lidia.  The pics above I took on Mother's Day (aka: the same as every other day).  We went to an early family dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant and maybe that second glass of wine made me camera happy.  The pic of Milo with the pink bucket on his head and the purple beads makes me think of Mardi Gras...looks like he's ready to party already.  But I don't want to think about that just yet.

    

  
Who doesn't love a picture of a chocolate covered baby? 

  
Playing in the pillows before bathtime.

   
Heading out to the pool...
  
At El Parque de Lopez and just a cute pic of Milo...so proud to be walking.

  
These are for Aunt Kristin and Uncle Kevin!  Go Brewers!!
   
Hanging out before bathtime...Milo's response to "How big is Milo?"

  
Babies playing with the water...Zoey giving instruction.  All was good until the slimey's (aka worms) started coming out of the ground to find air.  I have to admit it was really creepy to see.

Pledge of Allegiance...my multi-tasking little Patriot

How Big is Milo?


Milo walking.


Tap dancing Zoey...before a trial dance class with her friend Ever.


Twinkle Little Star with Charlie.

Not to make all you Midwest folks jealous...
 January  February March  April...naked kids running through the sprinkler already?  Geez, the Easter Bunny hasn't even been here yet!

 Waiting to start...it was very cold!

  
My first Triathlon.

Running with the guys...I knew I was doing good because I kept hearing spectators say "where are all the women in this event?"
 
 
My new hair do...an anniversary present for Vince since he's been wanting me to cut my hair short for 10 years!

 
Rather than do a bunch of toys and stuff Zoey woke up to balloons.  Happy Birthday Day!! "I'm a 3 Cake" is what she called it.
   
Then off to the "Farm" for pony rides, bouncy house, petting zoo, hay pyramids...with Charlie and his family.  Zoey and Charlie were born exactly 4 hours apart.

   
And now it's cake time!!
 
Blowing out candles.Zoey's 3rd birthday.  Video below.  WARNINGS: My singing is very bad and it's pretty much most of what you hear.  I always forget that I'd doing video when I use my regular camera so I turned it sideways for a bit thinking I'd get a better frame, DUH!  And trigger happy, I pressed the "take picture button thinking I could also get a still picture but instead it stopped recording at a key moment.  Oops!

This was supposed to be just Milo's appointment but Zoey HAD to play with the props, HAD to get naked...and later I did a few pictures for fun too.

   
 

      

Of course I'm referring to the Chinese New Year.  It's the year of the Ox.
