Little Scientist

Charlie has "school" on Thursdays... this week the theme was "little scientists" They has a lot of fun activities for the kids, but Charlie was VERY interested into pipetting colored water into "test tubes"... so interested, he didn't want to try any other activities... but i mean look at the focus and determination... {he gets his skills from his mama}

Hey Mom.... i'm pipetting here... enough with the pictures!

Stroller Strides

The boys and I have been going to a mommy fitness group called "stroller strides" It has been a lot of fun at local parks and playgrounds. The two little guys have really been good thus far!

Eat At Chili's

We get excited every year when Chili's has a night where 100% of the proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital! This year... there was a Chili's very close to us... so of course we had to go!

Charlie 18 Months with the Gund Bear

Charlie is 18 Months OLD!!! A year... and a half... it is crazy that our little err middle peanut is getting so BIG! If you cant tell from pictures, charlie tends to be the "life of the party" He is VERY social, and ohhh so silly. He loves to talk, and while most of the time we joke that he is "cajun" or "Farmer Fran" because he just talks without clear diction... he actually can say a lot of words. He loves to tell everyone Bye-bye, and pretend to be on the phone. Charlie is such a bundle of energy, he loves to play "oww-side" with daddy and Frank5. He is VERY interested in playing with balls and his brother's bike. He loves cars, trucks and trains too! Charlie is starting to become a better eater, we have cut out a lot of snacking... and he now really likes eggs, peanut butter, cheese, and apples {and of course all carbs}. He loves to talk to any and everyone in the iPhone/iPad... where ever there is an audience!

Soccer!

Tonight was Frank's first night of soccer! The Youth Center is having soccer for the kids and Frank was excited {and nervous} to start soccer. He looked super adorable in his soccer gear... we got there a little early, and Frank walked right up to his Coach and said, "My name is Frank... and I am here to play soccer" It was so cute!
