July 2012

Charlie is getting so creative!! He brought all of his cars into the bathroom, lined them up and put them through his "car wash!"  A video of this cute process is at the bottom of this post!
Charlie and I made some summer butterflies with his feet and thumb prints!
Fireworks from the 4th at Colonial with our friends
Just us (Charlie was in Kerrville)
Charlie had his first (of many) push pops at the pool with Wyatt!
Charlie enjoying his sucker from Shelby on our way back to Fort Worth!!
Playing at the park with his buddy, Hank
Charlie's old lion (on the left) took a bath in the washing machine after he had a tummy bug in Kerrville.  Well, Mommy wasn't thinking when I gave him a bath because he came out as "Crazy Lion" per Charlie with a matted afro!!  Charlie still twirls the lion's hair as he goes to sleep but couldn't twirl Crazy Lion's hair because it was all matted... which upset him.  My sweet friend, Emily, gave us one of her boys' stuffed animals.  Charlie named him "Dolpho" (on the right) and he has quickly because a part of our family!  Dolpho has been to the grocery store, he has to pee and brush his teeth every night with Charlie and most importantly, he has a great mane for twirling!!
Charlie filled up the stickers again on his food chart and picked out a bobcat at the store for his prize!
Staying cool with popsicles this summer

Charlie's cute crown he made at church!
And with his long hair sticking out the top!!
Bath time with his sweet friend, Vivian
Going in for the kiss!!
Charlie screamed and cried like crazy after his first two swimming lessons.  He was just not comfortable with going under water.  After the third lesson, we couldn't get him out of the water!!  We had six lessons total and well worth it!  (videos to come soon)  This picture below cracks me up because it was after his second lesson where he just cried and cried... happy to play in the baby pool!
Charlie and I went to visit my friend Ashley!!  Charlie got in her chicken pen to feed them and collect the eggs.  He loved it!
Ashley held a chicken so Charlie could pet it
Charlie meeting the donkeys
Kissing the donkey
I think Charlie has a new best friend
And we got to ride in the golf cart!  Thanks Ashley for a fun day!!  We love you!
Charlie got a new guinea pig in his classroom!  The class decided to name her Brownie.
My sweet friends threw me a belated birthday get together.  We all met up at Central Market for ice cream and wine :)  Here with one of my oldest friends, Courtney.  We go way, way back.  I love this girl and I'm so glad she's in FW!
Vivian, Debbie (holding Huck), Hilary, Katie, me, Courtney.  (Ashley was taking the picture and Esther is not pictured)  Thanks Emily for putting my birthday celebration together!  Wished you were there!!
Charlie with the Texas Tech bottle opener.  Get your guns up!!!!!!

Charlie talking about his first swimming lessons:
Charlie introducing you to all of his stuffed animals and showing you how he twirls his mane.  He's telling you what all of them eat too! (apparently the lions like to eat dirt... per Charlie)

Weekend with Parker

We went to Marshall for the weekend to see my parents but also to play with Charlie's second cousin, Parker!!  Parker and Shannon came over Saturday morning and we played hard!!

First in the bounce house
Then on the tire swing
Oh wait I think they see something else to play
Then in the pool
Then we put pennies on the train tracks
And while we were waiting we took a picture with Shannon and Parker in front of the "No Trespassing" sign :)
Then some more fun in the pool
After nap we headed over for dinner with Mom A and Papa in Carthage
Papa and his two great grandsons
A little collage of our boys
A video of just how much fun these two had together:
Swinging on the tire:
We loved seeing everyone and love each of you so much!!

I forgot to post one of my favorite videos from this summer.  I took this June 17th on our bed.  He is so creative and loves to play little piggies (well, he really just likes to be tickled):



Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!!
