When we got back from Marshall, Charlie headed to Noni and Boppa's for a couple of days... ALL BY HIMSELF!! We have designated this as Kamp Kerrville!! Here are a few of his activities with the grandparents:
Upon arrival, he went straight for the trains!
Noni's swimming pool
His John Deer gator backed up to the sandbox
Sitting on Major (apparently Major liked Charlie because he shared his snacks with him)
Playing in the tent
(While Charlie was at Kamp Kerrville Mommy & Daddy got a lot done around the house... including changing Charlie's bed from a toddler bed into a big boy bed!!)
Grocery shopping with Noni and Boppa at HEB
Playing in Bear Creek Crossing
Then Carson and I headed down for the weekend... more "pool" time with Daddy with all of the Anderson's old toys that Noni found in the attic
Charlie chilling with Toby kitty
I really missed that sweet face!
Since we missed the fireworks in Kerrville we had our own little sparkler party... I guess you could say it was part of the "closing ceremony" at Kamp Kerrville!!
Kamp Counselor, Boppa
Silly Uncle Andrew
Happy 4th of July!!
These two are like kindred spirits. Charlie always gets SUPER excited to see his Uncle Andrew!!
Playing in the water hose
Overall, Kamp Kerrville was a great success!! Can't wait for next summer!!
Again, this month is going to be a modge podge of pictures in all kinds of crazy order :)
Charlie didn't go to school on the day of his class picture so I was able to witness how two photographers can capture the attention of 13 kids (2 not pictured) and 2 teachers. If you click on this picture it will enlarge. Charlie has the cutest little smirk on his face (bottom left). The trick? The photographer blew some bubbles and then popped them on his nose while the other photographer snapped the picture! Genius.
Charlie received this super cute lion card in the mail from his JJ and Aunt Line.
The inside:
Charlie has decided over the past couple of months that he doesn't like to eat food. Awesome. Don't worry about giving us advice because trust me, we've tried it ALL!!!! For a little while this food chart worked. He got a sticker when he ate his whole meal and then when it was full we took him to the toy store to get a prize. As I said, it worked for a little while and then he figured us out and quit eating again. Next month I'll show you what we tried next.
This is how he ate his donut... smart boy!!
Charlie talking about the beach at school
During the summer at Charlie's school he has splash day (Thursday this year) where he plays outside in the water in the morning and then gets to pick a treat from the ice cream truck in the afternoon. His teacher said he always chose the red, white and blue bomb pop... every time. He's a creature of habit (kinda like his Papa Jess). In June, Charlie was also really starting to notice all the different makes of cars (as you can see below). He would often argue with his mommy and daddy, proving that he was correct. He knows the make of all his family members cars (grandparents, aunts and uncles too) and most of my friends' cars too!! Such a boy...
We had a little lunch get together with our mom's group to celebrate baby Max's arrival.
Luke enjoying some chips
Charlie and Vivian in the sprinkler. How cute is that face?
Big brother Hank got a gift too. His very own Hank the train!!
Vivian and Emme Cate
Most of the mommies and kids in our group. We missed you, Esther, Kate, Emery, William & Joyelle!
Birthday buddies didn't not want their picture taken. (Max and Hudson were born on the same day!)

He plays best in the nude :)

This was his first prize for his food chart... he chose an excavator and dump truck!!
Very excited about them!!
This was posted at his school...
Happy to feed the ducks!
We took Charlie to see Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. I won some movie tickets at work so it was free. I would not recommend seeing it... pretty lame.
Charlie took his lion with him to the movie
With Daddy
And Mommy
We went to the Pfaffs for dinner and swimming before heading to Lake Grapevine for the fireworks!
Charlie and Haley are about 4 weeks apart in age and couldn't be any cuter!!
Shelby showing off mad swimming skills (she's only 4 and can swim across the pool, piece of cake)
Our family at the lake
Charlie was a little overwhelmed by the loud fireworks, but overall had fun. Thanks Pfaffs for a fun night!!
He looks thrilled
