Not So Bad

I have been thinking a lot about this brother of mine. You know he used to just pester me all the time, but now I'm thinking maybe he isn't so bad after all.


He takes me and my baby for rides when I ask him too...


He taught me how to jump in mud puddles and drive mommy crazy...


He always lets me play in forts with him, and I really like that...


I get to watch TV with him in his boat...


We take fun rides in the wagon together, but when he is pulling me he does always try to jerk me so I fall and bump my head, I don't really like that...


He even let me wear his knight in shinning armor stuff, that was really cool...


It took me a while to get used to it cause it was kind of hard to see,


But I think I caught on pretty quick.


I love this video of me and my big brother. I think he is trying to talk like I do, I think he sounds pretty silly and that makes me laugh.

Overall, I would say that I am pretty lucky to have such a great big brother, but really that could change at any given moment. So for now,
I Love You Dillon!
Love, Charlee

Do You Like My Hat?

Our little artist is at it again. Her school got to pick 25 students to feature a piece of art in the Young Artists Exhibition. She was among them. All schools in the area were represented and the art was very impressive.

Above is the piece she contributed.
Below are some of my other favorites.




Molly made this hat in art recently, pretty groovy.


We're so proud of our little artist.

Charlie bit my finger

A friend was telling me about this hilarious video she found on YouTube. I had to post it after watching it. There is something about the British accent that makes it even funnier.

Highlights of a Great Easter

The true meaning of Easter. It's easy to get wrapped up in the hype of Easter traditions, you will see below that I am certainly on the guilty side of that, but we know and teach our children what Easter is really about. We love our Savior, Jesus Christ. We acknowledge His presence in everything we do. Our family thrives on this knowledge, and the knowledge of just how much he loves us in return.


Take One. . .


Take Two.

Party On

Molly welcomed in 6 years of life with a Scooby Doo/Build A Bear SLUMBER party.
Here are some highlights from a super fun party.


The cake I ended up going with. It really was easy to do considering I had Giant Eagle do it for me. It sure was good.


I highly recommend a party at Build a Bear. They really did a great job.


We got Molly the Wizard of Oz Build a Bear outfit collection for her b-day. The girls all dressed up their animals in one of the outfits and tried to put on a play. Zoe was our fearless director.


Scooby Doo attire, a must for every party.


I slept on the couch next to the girls, and believe it or not, they were all asleep by 12:30 and no one woke up until 6:00am. Not to shabby.

Lots Of Fun

I know I haven't blogged in a while, nor have I viewed others blogs for the most part. Do you ever get bogged down with something and loose all desire to do anything else? I have been a bit of a stranger to this poor computer and I am trying to end the neglect. Not to mention I am getting SOOO sick of this celebrity post I could puke. So I decided to grace you all with some wonderful pictures of my carpal tunnel syndrome surgery.... I got the left hand done a month ago and the right one done on Tuesday. Enjoy.
