Party Favors

All of the kids received a fluffy beach towel (with their names on them!) and a sippy cup with a fun plastic straw. Why is it that the simplest items make the best toys (with supervision, of course!) Charlie had a fantastic time, as did Mommy & Daddy!! Happy Birthday, Emi!!!

Flutter on by……

Charlie’s friend Emilyn had her 1st birthday party this past Saturday. It was the most fun! The theme was “garden party” and there were huge paper butterflies and flowers that hung from the trees. Emilyn was very festive in her butterfly wings, and Charlie had her first goldfish cracker at the party. Here are some highlights……


Don’t be a girly man (woman), Charlie!!

So, for those of you who know that Mommy has been kicking butt in bootcamp the last 4 months, trying to lose those last few pesky Charlie pounds….she is happy to announce that she actually did 5 pull-ups at the gym yesterday! Yes, that’s right, 5.

Of course, she did have a spotter. πŸ˜‰ Tamme, the AMAZING and wonderful trainer that Daddy hired to help her reach her goals. Could have been the most AMAZING 30th birthday present EVER.

Along those same lines, Charlie herself has learned to pull up. A pic will follow….just have to wait until she wakes up from her nap. πŸ™‚
