Charlie is 3

My oldest, dear Charlie turned 3 on Monday. In so many ways she is just like me.....quick to pout, stubborn, opinionated, and emotional and so much like her dad at the same time.....quick to forgive, always ready for a hug and always up for some fun. Oh time has flown by, it's so hard to believe she was born 3 years ago already. Our life and family has changed so much in that short time.

Helping me make frosting for her birthday cake. It was yummy!

My girl insisted on tractors for her cake. We compromised with a toy tractor. And we make a field and rows of hay to be baled with the frosting.

She couldn't quite get the candles blown out on her own. Daddy jumped in and helped her out.

She was having too much fun playing with cousins that she only opened 2 gifts and went back to playing. She finally went through and opened everything after everyone left. She received lots of new summer clothes. Her favorites were some legos from grandpa Mark and grandma Gretchen and flashy pink flip flops from grandpa Joe and grandma LuAnn.

 

Last week, we were in town to pick up a few more plants for the garden. As I was checking out, Charlie tells the cashier "I have underwear on!" The cashier didn't miss a beat and told her "Good job!", then looked at me and says "She must be 3."

She would follow her daddy anywhere!

Happy Birthday Charlie! We love you!

God bless!

Where I share fun stuff.....

Have you missed me? I feel like I haven't blogged much lately.

I even missed a Multitude Monday post this week.

I have a good excuse. At least I think it is a good excuse.

We are expecting baby #3! And this little one is making me TIRED!

It probably isn't helping my energy-level that Cori is still nursing and not sleeping through the night.

Heck, Charlie doesn't sleep through the night either.

What to see the scary part?

This is me today.....7 weeks pregnant with our 3rd little blessing.

What to see something even scarier?

This is me last year.....12 weeks pregnant with Cori.

I may just be huge by December when this little one is scheduled to arrive.

Which seems like a very long time from now.

So, here's praying for a healthy, uneventful pregnancy.

I'll be back to more regular blogging when I am feeling better.....

in another 6 weeks!

God bless!

My thoughtful hubby bringing home beautiful flowers on a gloomy day!

Head over to Jenny's blog for more Sixty Seconds on Tuesday.

Early Mother's Day Celebration

Thanks Abby for the photos! We got together at mom's on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day. The cousins always have such a good time together. When you look at our girls and Aaron and Abby's boys, its hard to believe that the kids are so close in age. Our girls seem so little compared to their cousins.

Avery, Charlie, Cori, Asher, and Abigail

Charlie and her cousin, Abigail.

They are looking forward to spending some time together this summer.

I see zoo trips in my future.

God bless!
