I think we can all agree that I have a pretty hard job. Most of our days are spent at the water park, beach, pool, museum or park. Daddy finally got to see Charlie in action today and he thinks he will quite work and start hanging out with us. And I just realized that I referred to Carson as Daddy...another part of the job is ALWAYS talking in third person. When Charlie was an infant I read in several books and articles that you were to always suppose to do that (I can't remember why), but they failed to mention that you would have a ridiculously hard time trying to talk normal again. Anyway, this was suppose to just be about Charlie's day in the water. This place really makes my job easy. It is the one place that slows Charlie down. And for any of you who have been around her lately, that is not an easy thing to do. We are so close to her swimming on her own. A few more weeks and I think she may have it. This place was well worth the $50 unlimited pass!!!!!!!!

Daddy's little helper!

This proves my point that my child is a perfect mix of girly girl and tomboy!! We went from onesies everyday to mowing the lawn in a smocked dress (her choice)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singing in the rain!

Charlie is a huge fan of playing in the sprinkler...well, more like a huge fan of making me cut it on and then running in it twice and crying when I cut it off. So the other day when it was raining and she wanted to go outside I thought "free water!!" (Don't worry Poppie there was no thunder or lighting in sight) We played outside for half an hour and I highly recomend everyone play in the rain the next time they get a chance!!! Our fun was cut short by the LOUDEST thunder I have ever heard. Charlie was running when it hit and I have never seen her stop in her tracks faster or scream "MOMMY" as loud as she did that day. I have to admit I have never dropped an umbrella faster than that day!! I decided getting struck by lighting would cut our fun short, so we went inside. And for once, Charlie did not argue that we were going inside.
Well, Charlie is up from her nap and we are off to the water park...do you all see a theme in my child's life? My little water baby.

Pictures, pictures and more pictures!

Here a some pictures from Charlie's birthday and her party. I am a little rusty on this, so they are backwards.

Charlie is 2!!!!!

As most of you know, Carson and I have been without a computer for over a week now. What bad timing being Charlie's birhday and all. I have had to sneak a little time on other peoples computers here and there, but I have not had a cnance to get pictures downloaded onto the site. I will work on that so everybody can see all the events the week of Charlie's b-day. Anyway, Charlie had a great week. We took her to see fireworks on the 4th and she like that. Although she prefered them from a far. She called them firetrucks, and we told her they were fireworks, not firetrucks...so for most of the ride home she would say "I see not firetrucks again!" Carson took Thursday off, and we took her to the Aquarium for the first time. She loved it! Fish, fish everywhere. Then on Saturday we had a small family party at the lake and she got lots of fun stuff. One of which was a pink tutu that she wore the rest of the afternoon. Somewhere along the way the girl that I thought would be a tomboy turned into a little girly girl. I am not sure what that is. (She puts more makeup on than I do!!) It was one busy week for our growing little girl. I have always heard that time goes by fast, it is just now that I believe it. Thanks to everyone for making the first two years of her life great ones. She/we are lucky to have so many people who love her.
I will try to get pictures up this week.
