Orange County Choppers

On Sunday we took a drive to O.C.C. (remember the 3 knuckle heads from the reality show on TLC that make awesome bikes), Charlie and Will loved it. We actually got to see Pauly Senior working on a bike in the shop behind some blacked out glass. It seemed a little weird. All these people looking at him and him not being able to see us. They claim they do that to minimize distractions and possible injuries...whatever. It was neat. There was an overabundance of merchandise, but the motorcycles were very cool to see.Here is the front of the building. Charlie by the bikes that aren't just for show, but for purchasing if you've got close to $40k in your pocket.

Charlie liked this really cool looking green spider bike

911 bike

Charlie's Winter Breakfast at School

Charlie's pre-school put on the cutest little Winter Breakfast for the kids. We ate some yummy bagels and had some delicious treats and had a super duper dance party.

Charlie was a little nervous at first, but Luke wasn't. Then Frosty the Snowman came for a visit and Lukas was obsessed, Charlie was even more nervous than before. Luke couldn't stand waiting his turn to see him.

Then we did some more dancing.

Lukas really fit in with the bunch.

He also found another Mickey friend.

Lukas had a blast.

And once Frosty left, so did Charlie!

Later that night, the boys vegged out watching some Mater and Lightning Mcqueen cartoons on Youtube (yes I know they are a little young for Youtube, but look at them).

Here are some cute and funny videos of the boys dancing.

And some video of Charlie dancing.

Look doing his version of the YMCA.

M.I.A.

So I've started this crazy accelerated winter course.....It goes MTWTh from 6-8ish for 3 weeks, I have 4 papers to write (1 down, 3 to go). It's possible I will be missing in action, glued to my computer, letting my kids watch whatever garbage they want to watch on TV, eat whatever snacks they want all day long, and play with whatever electronics they want so I can get through this course. And then on to more exciting things starting January 29th...working on my Thesis, blah. Anyway here are a couple cute pictures of the boys. Lukas loves Charlie's new magnifying glass, so he walks all over the house with his face glued to it, it's hilarious to watch. And the last 2 are some spontaneous cuddling of the boys. I walked past the living room one day and they were like that, so cute.

Charlie and his new Leapster video game

This kid cracks us up when he plays this thing. He is constantly kicking, spinning, and moving his arms all over the place. At least he's moving!

Happy New Year!

On New Year's Eve we were so lucky to have Grandma stay with the boys so we could go to Marc and Danielle's wedding. We stayed over at the hotel (first time ever, away from the boys). It was a lot of fun, but we were eager to get home to the boys in the morning. Danielle was a beautiful bride We couldn't see or hear too much of the ceremony because we were pretty far back and there was probably about 150 people there.

Anthony and Will during cocktail hour after a few cocktails.

Matt acting like Anthony, who was caught taking a picture of himself all alone. So this is him making fun.

Leah, Denise, and I.

Will and I at the reception.

A little later...

Marc and Danielle coming through the tunnel.

Their first dance.

You can't really see her because she is so tiny, but that is Danielle up in the chair.

Marc up in the chair being crazy.

After midnight, after a few drinks, getting my groove on.

More dancing fun!

Dave's girlfriend (who's name I can't remember for the life of me) and I.
