4th of July weekend

4th of July weekend was super fun this year! My friend Amber inspired us to go pick some berries at Martin's Berry Patch. I've always, always wanted to go since it's only 5 mintues away from my parents' house. Charlie loved it!! As you can see below, he didn't waste anytime popping those berries into his mouth.

And he's off!

He didn't find any blackberries so we headed for the blueberries.

I am OBSESSED with this picture of Charlie and my Papa! PRECIOUS!!

There was a plethora of yummy blueberries

Papa Jess taught Bear which berries to pick

Daddy had fun too

Beautiful flowers (That's for you, Amber)

We got to the farm at 8:30am and by 10am it was WAY too hot... but look at our jackpot!

YUMM-O!!

We went swimming at a friends' house too!

So, do you think he had fun?? :) We have a little fish on our hands that has no fear of water.

Sweet cousins, Izzie and Charlie

I mean, seriously had a blast! I love that sweet booger!

My mom made matching outfits for Izzie and Charlie. Aren't they adorable?!?!

Charlie tried to bail on the picture

Sweet story time with Papa Jess

Joshua and Laura... looking like they just rolled in from Hawaii

Me and my big brother

Mom A and Papa came to visit too. It only took a book, a cookie, and some trains to bribe Bear to take a picture. Too funny!

Charlie and me before church

He still loves to play in the waterhose!

And with bubbles too!

When we came back from Marshall, we headed to watch the fireworks with our sweet friends, the Proctors!

We saw lots of friends at Colonial too! Natalie, Katie and me

The boys, Justus, Carson and Jake

I love these sweet pictures of Charlie talking about the "boom boom" that's about to happen... sporting his cute 4th outfit!

Apparently, Wyatt thought Charlie needed some CPR

As you can tell, the boys LOVED it!! They never cried and they both talked about the "boom boom" for days!!

Sorry for the delay in posts this summer... we've been having too much fun!!

June 2011

I can't believe June has already come and gone. One word for June=HOT!! The first weekend, I went with 3 girlfriends to Canton. We had so much fun!

Me, Jessica, Joyelle and Hilary

We came back at met up with the hubbies and our babies for a yummy cookout! Luke and Charlie are growing up too fast.

Beautiful Vivian enjoying the baby pool

Surprise! It's a bear in the playhouse!

We went swimming with some friends at Colonial to try and stay cool. Poor Charlie got sunscreen in his eyes and was not a happy camper.

Charlie's May report from daycare:

We were also the featured family of June!! (p.s. I wrote this in December!) I would change it from visiting the museum to visiting the zoo! The rest is the same.

Our friends just moved to Minnesota, but before they left we had a going away party for them and a sip and see for their new baby. Below are some of us at the baby shower. Kat, Esther, Whitney with Livy Anne, me and Emily

We will truly miss you, Sara Beth!!!!!!!!

Charlie's artwork from June

Bear still has an obsession with trains. My mom bought him this set of Thomas books and he hoards them all to himself! He loves to look at the pictures and then take them in and out of the box over and over! Here he is in his room organizing those dead gum books!

Charlie is quite the fan of the iPad too!

more artwork from daycare

Check out those blue eyes!!!!!!!

Playing outside in the pool with Copper. Trying to stay cool!

Love that booger

He's getting pretty good! :)

We still have Charlie drinking goat milk, but his tummy can tolerate cheese and little bit of yogurt. We found out recently that he LOVES cheese!! He goes up to the fridge and says "Mama, cheese please" all the time.

Cute picture he painted at school for Carson for Father's day

What have you been doing to stay cool??
