Here are some random pictures that I recently took of the kids

Pinkalicious

A couple of weeks ago Olivia and I had a "girl" day with my sister-in-law Michelle and my niece Melanie. We had so much fun. We had lunch and went to the "Pinkalicious" play the Hopkins Children's Theater. On the way home we stopped for ice cream :)

Here are some pictures

Ready to go...


At the play...





and ice cream...








It was a very cute play and we had a fantastic time.
Thank you Melanie and Michelle for the great day!!

Backfire!!



You know when you say things as a parent and they totally backfire on you?
Well that happened to me tonight with Olivia!!

I always tell Olivia that I want her to stop growing and that I want her to stay little forever. She is just growing up way too fast. So tonight she asked me why she has to go to bed now and why Jesse and I get to stay up late. I told her because we are big and she is little and that when you sleep you grow. I went on to say that mom and dad don't need to get any bigger so we don't need as much sleep. So, of course, our Olivia said "well mom, you know how you always tell me you don't want me to get bigger? Just let me stay up and I will stay little then."

What a little stinker; however, I do have to give her credit for thinking of that =)

Uh-Oh and so much more!!

Charlie has been a very busy boy the last couple of weeks. He is so much fun :)
He has learned so many new tricks. He has started to take steps. He isn't really walking yet, but will take 3 or 4 steps before falling to a crawl (just because he can get there so much faster that way).

He has also started talking A LOT!! He no longer has a 2-word vocabulary (it was just mama and dada for about 2 months) and he tries to repeat everything! His favorite thing to say is "Jack." He talks about Jack all day long. He really enjoys dropping everything on the floor and saying "Uh-Oh." He also has to say "Kala" every time we pull up to Karla's, our daycare providers house. His new word in the last couple of days is "Ovia" which is "Olivia." He LOVES his big sister =)

His latest trick is climbing out of the exersaucer. The other day I put him in the Exersaucer so I could run down stairs and help Olivia pick up her Barbies. He hasn't been a very big fan of the thing for the past couple of weeks, but I usually can convince him to stay in their with some noisy toys. So as I was downstairs, I was listening to him talk to himself like crazy. Assuming that he was just fine because I could hear him and I knew I had put him in there, I just kept helping Olivia pick up. After about 5 minutes, I came up stairs to NO Charlie. I was panicking and I was looking everywhere for the little turkey. Here he was playing in his bedroom. I, of course, doubted myself putting him in the thing for about 10 minutes. So I put him in it again, and sure enough within 10 seconds he was out again...What a STINKER!!! For those of you non-Facebook users, here is the video that I posted a couple of days ago. It is hilarious.
