Helping Brother

Charlie'sbig brother Ryan is in town for a four day weekend. For days Charlie said he didn't want his brother to visit but the from the second he walked in the door Charlie was excited and talking up a Storm. Ryan needed to work on his school work and Charlie just wouldn't leave him alone and needed to read with brother.

ZOO

Yesterday was a beautiful day, so we joined Molly and Norah for a wonderful day at the Zoo. We did have a melt down , plus at times Charlie was poky, wanting to pick up every stick he saw and didn't see into seeing the animals...but that is what happens when you have a toddler. OH and he found some great puddles to jump in!!
Oh and it was very cute when Charlie walked up to the man at the Train Station and out of the blue said "My name is Charlie"

Jump!!!

I swear the kid is gonna be a skydiver!

Daddy's Birthday/Superbowl

Last minute Daddy decided to have a little Superbowl get together, we had a Crave Case from White Castle fallowed by a Cookies and Cream cake from Culver's.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Today is Chaz's birthday.... we are going to have lunch with Grandma Nancy the watch the Superbowl this evening.

I think I need some help!!

Here is it January 31st and I am looking at some of the picture's from the last month and I just realized we are one month into 2009 and I have already taken 1298 pictures...please do not tell Chaz. He told me when I went digital he would never complain about how many pictures I took but he seemed unhappy about how many I took last year... said I took like an average of 33 picture's a day or something like that. But I just don't want to forget a second of Charlie growing up. I think when I was pregnant with him he robbed me of my memory because I cannot seem to remember things like before I was pregnant. Plus it really bums me out that almost all the picture's from my childhood were lost in a couple of fire's. All the copies my grandparents had burned with their house and then my parents all burnt up in a shed fire. I know it isn't rational at all!! Plus I just love taking picture's!!! Getting that great shot that just makes all the thoughts and feelings of a moment in time come rushing back to you. I may need help but I really do not want help... so maybe Chaz will learn or just pretend to understand that I have an addiction to photography.


Well here are few picture's from today....

Museum of Transportation

We joined our friends for a visit at the Museum of Transportation today, this was Charlie and my first visit. Daddy and I had talked about going last summer but we never made it. Today we were going to visit their Creation Station which is a room with all kinds of fun things for kids to play with all with the theme of transportation. I did not realize we would be able to walk around and look at/go in some of the trains or I would of wore a thicker jacket and made sure Charlie had gloves. So a little chilled we walked around and check out the trains which Charlie loved!! He did not want to leave and he did not really want to go to the creation station but enjoyed it once he got inside. We look foreword to returning with daddy on a warmer day!!

My Little Monkey

Everyone knows I call Charlie a monkey well here is the proof...now I fear he will be a mountain climber! On a side note...Guess I did a pretty good job installing the curtain since it held him.

Me shovel!!

I needed to go to the bank today so I thought I would/could sneak out and do some shoveling while Charlie watched Curious George. Well this worked for a little while but I was busted sneaking a peek to make sure he was still in the living room at which point we had a melt down... crying that "me shovel with you" and "I want to dig" Moppy really need a break so I persuaded Charlie to finish watching George and after that we would go outside. That worked and the second George was over Charlie was over putting his boots on saying "we go outside now George done" Well that was the deal so we got bundled up and head out for a while. I did get the drive done but no thanks to Charlie who thought it was fun to knock all the snow from the piles back onto the driveway! Then I promised we would go out again after nap time. I really got to stop promising such things! Because right after nap Charlie was ready... I was able hold him off for a bit and back out we went at 2:30.

Well I got two hands...

so I need a sucker for each hand!

and heck why not another one just for good measure....

SNOW!!

Take a slide ride with Charlie

"No, I want go to doctor"

This is what Charlie was crying as we went into the Hairy Elephant to get his hair cut today. I cannot believe he much ratters go to the doctor where he last got a shot then get a haircut. I knew he was not going to go easy since when we talked about it this morning he said "no hair cut".
my not so happy boy
