My Little Helper

Charlie thought he was so cool at the grocery store. I usually avoid the little carts because they are kind of a pain, but it was just the two of us tonight and he I knew he would love it. He was so serious, except when I had him pose for the picture. Then he said cheese so loud I am sure everyone in the store heard him.

Busy girl...

This month Olivia has been very busy with sports. She has basketball every Saturday and today she had a three hour softball camp. She is loving it :)

Charlie likes the field house, because he can run.

The kids were also pretty excited to see the track records that were posted in the field house too. Jesse still holds the record for the 3200 meter and my aunt Charlene who we visited this summer still holds three track records.

How to spell Jack??

This morning we were on our way to day care and Charlie says, "Hey Mom, I know how to spell Jack, it is T U V W X Y Z."

Love that kid :)

Fun Day!!

Today the kids were so excited. We headed to the Mall of America to go to the American girl store and the Lego store. Olivia has been saving her money for months and months to get another American doll. Today we welcomed Saige to our family. It was the first time Olivia only wanted to be in the store for a few minutes. She knew exactly what she wanted :). Charlie also loved the Lego store. Jesse was excited to put together his Lego set when we got home too. We also went to the ice castle exhibit, which the kids loved.

Christmas :)

As always, I was horrible with pictures, but here are a few. I had to include the one of our Niece Ily in the box because it is so stinking cute :).

All done!!

Charlie is all done with his surgery. Now on to the recovery. He is doing pretty well, but really hates his IV.

Extra prayers...

Tomorrow Charlie goes in to have his tonsils, adenoids, and another tube put in. It is a very routine surgery, but of course, I am a nervous wreck. I know he will be fine, but I dread taking him into the operating room holding his hand while he is put under. I have handled it 2 other times, but knowing this time it will be a bit longer is tough :(. Anyways, extra prayers for fast healing would be greatly appreciated. I will try to post after it is complete tomorrow. As for now, extra cuddles with mom and dad. Olivia gets to have a sleepover with grandma Ruth tonight, so she is over the top excited :)
