Just like his Daddy

Steve has had this ongoing battle about Charlie liking Mommy more than Daddy. Well, I have noticed lately that Charlie is really starting to cling to Daddy, and I LOVE seeing it! He is a spitting image of Steve and it makes my heart swell watching the two of them together. I don't know how Steve is going to be able to split him time if this next one is a boy!

Shoveling after the first big snow

I asked for a smile instead of just saying, "Say Cheese!" I love the smile better!

This was the "Say Cheese" picture. Charlie wanted to have popcorn for snack and then said, "I want to watch football with Daddy." So they did!

Saying goodnight and a quick cuddle with Daddy before bedtime! So cute!

Big News!

Yup, you read that right. Charlie is going to be a big brother! We are past the scary part this time around and had our ultrasound this past week. Everything is on track with the little one and it is comfy in my belly. We didn't find out what we are having and it's driving Steve nuts! He REALLY wants to know! But I laid down the law and said no! So we have a little surprise coming to us around May 25th!

Helicopter sighting!

We had an auction at our church for our new building and there was a helicopter ride that was won by a few couples. I thought it would be a fun thing for Charlie to watch so we met at the church when it came time to pick up the couples. He loved it!! He was laughing and pointing, but he definitely didn't want to sit in it!! It was a fun day for all!

THERE IT IS!!

Kids learn quick

At the cottage this year, Candy Bars were a huge hit! The kids went crazy when we took them out. I was trying to get a good picture of all the cousins and I got a few. Then Janna said,

"Who wants a candy bar?"

This was the next picture. Kids crack me up!
(I personally thought Charlie's face was the best, but that's just me :-)

Catching up

So it's been a LONG while since I've gotten on here and posted! Sorry about that, I'll try to be better. Here's a snippet of whats been going on lately.

Charlie had his first black eye. He hit his head while jumping off something (big surprise, I know) and his forehead quickly healed and his black eye appeared.....

We bought a new "family" vehicle. Really, Steve just needed a new truck and the ranger didn't fit us all. So we considered this and upgrade. :-)

The "August Birthday Girls" and our hubbys went on our annual birthday dinner to the Melting Pot. It was good and Fondue was better than I thought! It was a fun night!
Dinner!

I promise I'm going to try to keep up on the blog! Don't give up on me yet!

SLACKER!

I have been seriously slacking in the blogging department....

Here's a few pics from camping at the end of June!

Running down the beach with Daddy

Making a monkey face for mommy!

Sitting by the pool.....

Jumping in the pool, this kid has no fear!

More to come!

And there he was

Charlie had been climbing out of his crib for about a month now but we have refused to change his crib over to a toddler bed, just cause most times he does stay in. Well, last night he decided to climb out repeatedly, 9 TIMES!! So I finally told him if he comes out again, he gets a spanking. He didn't come out of the room, but I knew he was out of his crib. I just let him be and finally didn't hear any noise coming from his room. When I went to bed, I checked on him. Sure enough, he wasn't in his crib. I looked all over and found him under the chair fast asleep.

I guess we are converting the bed today, so he doesn't break his neck!
