Cabining

We went cabining last week.
(More on that soon!!)
It was soooo wonderful.
Here's a little something I brought for each group.

I can't take credit.
It was a Pinterest steal.
I.HEART.PINTEREST.

Brusha, Brusha, Brusha...

It looks like the tooth fairy will be making a visit to our house tonight!!

Whew - thank goodness that tooth is out.

It has been hangin' (TMI) by a thread for weeks.

GROSS!

We've been wanting this tooth out.

But I for sure can't pull it.

(I've got teeth/mouth issues and it literally makes me gag.)

Brady had an appointment today for sealants.

I was planning to ask the dentist to just pull it since it was hanging.

I picked Brady up for the dentist.

We stopped home so he could brush his teeth.

He brushed.

And, he brushed that tooth right out!

Hee hee!!!

Yay Brades!

p.s. it looks like Brady is making out tonight because the tooth fairy

got cash back at the grocery store...but, never stopped to get smaller bills. Oops!

Guess Who's Walking!!!

Yay, Charlie!!!

Yippee!!!

We are no longer worried about her foot. 

She is stumbling along. 

I think she loves walking.

And, she already fell and got her first bump.

Oops!

Lot's more to come.

More pictures coming soon...

Annual We Wish We Were in San Diego 4th of July

July 4th sucks in Arizona. There is no other way to say it. Well, I guess there is...but, seriously - the 4th stinks!!! It is so darn hot. The ONLY, absolute ONLY thing I feel like doing is staying inside or going on vacation. 

The Babcock's have an annual July 4th party. Although it is hot as heck - we always happily go. We have such a great time and somehow forget (as much as we can) about the heat and just enjoy the people, food, and holiday. This year we were even able to swim in their brand-new pool! What a treat!! It sure is beautiful and soooo refreshing after a day of hotness!

Thanks Babcock's!!

Festive July 4th Strawberries I made for the party. Idea stolen from Pinterest!!

Some ground fireworks. Sshhhh....

Billy and a sparkler. I think he like them more than the kids! Well...I was pretty fond of them, too!

Funny...and Well Said!

So, I'm sure y'all have been seeing this all over Facebook. But...I LOVE it!!

So stinkin' hilarious.

Learning to Walk

Charlie is 13 months. She's not yet walking. I'm not too worried yet because Lily also took awhile. Brady was such an early walker. Lily...she waited until between 13 and 14 months. And, Charlie - well, she's on that same clock as well. 


Charlie is doing pretty good. She'll take about 6-10 steps at a time and then sit down and crawl the rest of the way. She loves holding our hands and walking with us...or with her brother or sister. Although...Lily tries to literally drag her along because she doesn't understand the concept of walking slow. 


A few weeks ago we noticed Charlie turning out her right foot as she walked. (she's definitely NOT pigeoned toed - um, pretty much complete opposite.) It's kind of the cutest thing. Well...when I'm not freaking out about it and ready to call the doctor - I think it's cute. She literally walks with her left foot angled out a bit and the right foot pretty much angled completely out 90 degrees. 


Too funny! 

She's a Lady

Charlie has this stinkin' adorable habit of crossing her ankles.

All.The.Time.

Seriously.

While she's sitting.

In her carseat.

In her high chair.

While sleeping.

Literally, all the time.

She is so dang cute.

She's definitely a little lady.
