Disney Cruise

I've been a terrible blogger lately, but we've been so busy! Our latest adventure was a Disney Cruise. The kids had so much fun and didn't want to come home! They travled like pros and didn't even mention the movement of the boat. Ellis loved taking pictures of herself with everything so most of the pics are of her. She LOVED meeting the princesses and being treated like one by the cruise staff. She even set still long enough to get her hair braided! Charlie loved all the cars stuff all over the boat and the movies that were playing continuously on the tv in our cabin. We will definitely do it again (hopefully really soon)! Enjoy the pictures!

The ketchup mickey mouse they made every night for Ellis. She loved it!

The one and only family picture from the trip.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ellis and I made green pancakes this morning to celebrate St. Pat's Day-thanks for the idea G. She LOVED it, but she kept asking if they were going to taste the same and no matter how many times I told her yes-she didn't really believe me until she tried them for herself. And they were delicious...

Hope no one gets pinched today-wear your green!

Charlie wasn't awake yet-so he didn't get to help. But not to worry, he'll have a cool "green project" later today and I'll post pics...stay tuned!

Charlie's Check Up

Sorry I'm just now updating from Charlie's 3 year check up. I've been a terrible blogger lately! Charlie is right on target for a healthy 3 year old boy- just a bit on the small side. He weighs 28 pounds (15%) and is 35 inches tall (10%). Unfortunatley, genetics are not on his side on this one! He is extremely happy and starting to be quite the troublemaker! No one expects it of him-so he usually gets away with it. But, he has this little devilish grin and you know he's been up to no good! He is still a big momma's boy and shows no interest in the potty! Please pray for that! I think he'd be content to wear a diaper forever!!! He LOVES his big sister and often asks for her when she's not around.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! You are the best son your daddy and I could ever have! We are so blessed to have your in our lives! We love you!!

Life is slowly returning to normal after a week of the "icky bug" at our house. Everyone has had it-so hopefully we are done!! I'm looking forward to some warm and sunny weather so we can get outside and play.

Charlie is 3!!!

Mom and Dad with the birthday boy!

I can't believe my baby is 3! It really seems like just yesterday that we brought him home. He is such a joy and such a good little brother! We go to the doctor later this week for his check up, so I'll post his stats then.

He is such a party boy! He had two parties yesterday and he loved them both!! Here are some pictures from his "friend" party. He had his requested "John Deere" cake! He also got LOTS of cool trucks and toys! Thanks everyone!

Blowing out the candles.

Ripping into his presents!

Ellis and her boyfriend Jake. This could be trouble (for him)-although we love her choice in boys!

Playing with his buddies.

Almost 3!

In honor of Charlie's upcoming 3rd birthday- we had to switch the background to cars...

Valentine's Day

Ellis had her Valentine's Party today at school and she got to bring the petit fours. Lucky girl!

Yum!

Happy Valentine's Day!

(Charlie's class didn't have a "party"-but they did get goodies to take home. So, don't feel sorry for him!)
