Wedding Date!

On 6/9/12 I was a bridesmaid in my good friend Rhonda's wedding. She looked super pretty last night, and I'm honored I got to standup with her. Charles looked super cute too! HE was a little party animal and refused to go to sleep! We closed the place down at 11, dancing The night away!

I'm Continued to be Amazed...

My Sister sent me this picture as a reminder...
Hits home at just the right time!

A Pirate Peanut Party!

Charles had his first birthday yesterday, May 19. We had a Pirate themed party with a Pirate Ship cake, pirate food, and even dressed as Pirates. We played with bubbles, and had a few other games ready to play... Which we forgot about because all of the little Pirate guests were having such a blast playing T/ball and running in the grass. Charles massacred his cake, and really enjoyed opening his gifts. Thank You to all of our friends who came out to share his special day with us!

The Best Gift a Mom Could Ask for!

I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with my family this year for Mother's Day! We were all able to be outside in the sunshine and take in some of the gorgeous scenery and flowers! Charles of course loved the grass and the nature... Without being in his stroller! He truly is the best Mother's Day gift I could have ever imagined getting. Even with all of our struggles this past year, the starting over, the ups and downs, the friends I have lost, and the people who I have realized have made there mark on my life and it's okay to move on without them... I have the BEST little boy who truly shows me why I am here, with all of his love and his kisses!

Standing!

Big Day today! Charles is spending more time standing alone without support. Someone has to be close to him and it's less than a minute he's up for, but he's making progress! I imagine he will be walking soon!

The Peanut is CrackerJacks!

I took Charles to our first baseball game of the season last night! We went with out friends Pat & Rhonda! He was super good- despite the cold Seattle air. We arrived in time for batting practice and everyone thought he was just super cute! We even "caught" a ball! Such a fun day off together! Had his first over-priced stadium burger too! I would say over-all he is a fan!

My Little Peanut Cotton-tail

Charles first Easter was pretty relaxing :) We just hung out together at home. Went for a walk outside, cooked "dinner" together... He loves guacamole- but Not Avocado! Such a little sweetheart!
