July 4th

This 4th we celebrated with family with dinner at Joy house. It was so nice to be with loved one.  Sadly, the three cousins do not get together so often but when they do, they have so much fun. I love these memories which I was able to caputire. Look at the pure joy as these kids play and run in the water.

Christmas Tree 2014

Time to set up the tree. Always such a fun time and Charlotte really enjoys it. We started our day by having cinnamon rolls for breakfast. 

Seems Corbin really enjoyed them.

This year we added a "Pencil Tree" to our collection. It fits perfectly in the back room, and takes up little space. I actually enjoy it more than the large tree. 

Since, we had to move some furniture around to make room for the tree, we placed to chairs next to the window. This has become Charlotte's favorite spot.

Easter 2010

Here is a video from Easter I just had to post.

Memorial Weekend 2010

***Updated with video***

This weekend definitely was not one we were expecting. We had made plans to drive to Ephraim to go to the Scandinavian Festival, and help out Grandpa Johnson. Once Charlotte had gone to bed, I got everything ready, got the house picked up and was off to bed. After 2 hours of tossing, I finally fell asleep, and then woken up not long after by a crying baby. This puts us at 0145. Poor thing had a fever of 101.0. After some cuddles and rocking in the chair she was back to bed. This puts us at 300am. Then she was back up at 545. After a night like that and a fever that was not going to go away, we ended up staying home. After looking at all her symptoms we have come to the conclusion that miss things Molars have decided to make their appearance.

Sunday night was no treat either. She had me up at 400am and that was it. No going back to sleep for any of us. After many attempts to get her to nap , and listening to her cry and scream from her bed, I stopped trying. She has refused to eat anything other than applesauce and only wants milk. I am okay with this since she is getting some nutrition. After some time we played outside and near 200pm FINALLY a nap was taken.

Monday was glorious.

Charlotte and myself finally slept all night, and after breakfast the three of us went to Liberty Park and visited Tracy Aviary. Charlotte of course was more interested in the gravel paths, rocks , and the hanging doorways more so than the birds

What a difference

After the Aviary we walked around the park and Charlotte took a ride on the carousal.


The rest of the afternoon was spent at home playing in the yard, just hanging out with each other and relaxing.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY !

Easter 2010

This year for Easter we all gathered at Grandma Jean's for lunch. I had plans to get Charlotte all dolled up, but she had not been feeling well the last few days, and I thought just an Easter shirt would be more comfortable for her than a dress. Non the less she looked cute.

She loved having cousin Brayden there to play with, and grandma had bought some toys, so there were some new things to keep her attention.This child would not hold still at all this afternoon. She was from here to there. There was no sitting still for pictures, not stopping and smiling at the camera.













What a spoiled little girl. She got 2 Easter baskets this year. She got a Care Bears movie, a Chocolate bunny, a stuffed bunny and a cute outfit, and of course some eggs filled with goodies.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Christmas 2009

Charlotte was so excited to see what Santa left for her. Just look at the smile.

This has to be her favorite gift of the day. She has been playing with it non-stop.


Nothing says Merry Christmas like COACH.

After doing gifts at home we ventured over to Grandma Jeanie's for more Christmas fun. Here is Charlotte showing off her walker.



Grandma and Charlotte giving loves, and thanks to Grandma for all the clothes. Charlotte now has so many clothes. I will not have to buy her anything until fall.
We had such a wonderful Christmas and are lucky to have such a great family. This was a Christmas to remember.

Christmas Eve

This year Christmas Eve was a little different for our family. Missing family members, Change of location and 2 babies. What a fun and busy night. We had an awesome dinner, but like always I tend to fill up on the snacks, and then when dinner is ready I am full, but of course I still ate some.After dinner was a Wii playoff, where Lexi won. Brayden was content just lying under the Christmas tree staring at the lights, while Charlotte was all over the place. Later in the evening it was time for Christmas eve gifts where Charlotte received her first baby's Christmas ornament and new Christmas pj's
