huh? blog? I have a blog? oops I forgot

Poor little neglected blog, you look so sad.  We have been doing so much lately and I have been working on our home and blah blah blah this blog is not on fire so it keeps getting moved to the bottom of the to do page.  Here are some random pictures that should have been posted months ago.

For us Summer was:
Cousins
Trips
Sunshine
Extra Sassy

And that is why I am grounded from the computer

I got Charlotte settled on the couch watching a movie.  I thought I had found a window of time to go through pictures and update blogs.

I checked on her a few times all was well. 

Then20 minutes later she came and showed me what she had done:

Layers and layers of BLUE marker

I was surprised when I took her shirt off for the bath and found more art work. 

After a shower and a bath, there is still some blue, hopefully it will fade.  Hopefully when the Easter Bunny comes next week he won't mistake her for an egg and try to hide her.

Real blog update still to come

Spring 2011

Our Little Flower just keeps blooming, more and more every year.

Its official, she's TWO!

 Well the evidence is in the pictures.

Lets just say it is never boring around here.

Tearing apart styrofoam just to throw it all over.

 I have lost more tubes of lipstick then I want to count

Of course markers are fun, and even better when you lick them.

 Climbing into anywhere

 she think she will fit, 

and then screaming

 "hide",

 so I know I am supposed to be finding her.

Climbing on the counter to eat whatever she can find,

her favorite is peanut butter.

And this is the day I knew I was in trouble, 

I was out of the room for two minutes

came back to find her covered in her $15 a jar eczema cream.

All over her face, hair

 and piled so high on her pant 

she would hit it to watch it fly.

( Good thing we have a carpet cleaner on standby)

But this, this will be what goes in the scrapbook.  

I went downstairs to change the laundry, 

she was coloring with color safe makers.

I came back up to find her living life to the fullest.

Karst, in an effort to to keep Charlee busy so we could get something done, he dug out his Star Wars toys.  We are both HUGE Star Wars fans, so it was just a matter of time before she was introduced.

 She loved the lightsabers and her favorite is attacking who was not armed. 

We were actually playing in the dark, but the flash makes it look light.

  I couldn't get a picture in the dark.

 We got out Darth Vader, at fist she didn't know what to think and wouldn't touch it.

After a few minutes she loved pushing the buttons to hear Darth breath or talk.

 Best looking Darth I've seen.

Merry Christmas!!

Sure we thought about doing Christmas Cards, but they were only a dream this year.

Thanks everyone for sending us your cards, 

We wish you and your families all the best this year.

The life

Seriously, who would not love this life? Lying on a her huge tiger, with her favorite blanket, a binky, with her toe sticking out of the blanket, watching UP. My favorite part? The smile.

Another day I always want to remember.

Fun Days

This is why I am now becoming a morning person . . .

this face

We are having way too much fun, with all the sun we are seeing.

Charlee never stops smiling when she is outside.

We are on the hunt for the perfect park one that is close to our home, good swings, good ground, good slides, and lots of fun. We are testing all the parks we can find, its a tough job but someone has to do it.
