Another Beach Shot

Here's another picture from our beach vacation.  This was taken on the back deck of the house - after he REFUSED to take any nice pictures on the beach.  I had the cutest little shorts on him. .  but you can't even see them.  Guess this will have to do!  Note to all Momtogs. . . 20 months old is not the best age to get good photos!

Happy Birthday To Me!!

Yeppers. . . I am another year older. . .these years sure go by quickly these days.  We just returned from 10 fun filled days from the beach. . . so I plan to blog some of my favorite shots over the next few days.  Thought I'd start out with a pic of my two favorite boys. . . they both were very sweet to me on my Big 33rd B-day!

Weekend With Our Friends

We spent a fabulous weekend at our cabin in Wellsboro, PA with our good friends.  Charlie and their son were great buddies the entire weekend.  We kept very busy 4 wheeling, taking dips in the creek and hiking around the land.  We even took some time to attend the famous Rattlesnake Roundup. . . a contest where the individual who catches the largest black phase and yellow phase rattlesnake wins some sort of prize.  The little boy below was brave enough to pet one of the captured rattlesnakes and touch his rattle.  Busy week ahead. . . just thought I'd post one of my favorite pics from the weekend.

Wordless Wednesday

Driving Lessons

Charlie's current favorite playtime activity is playing in Mommy's car.  If I'd let him do it all day - he would.  I think he is going to be a practical joker like his father. . . because every time I get in the car I spend 10 minutes turning my blinkers and windshield wipers off, turning down the radio, and disengaging other random settings which show up as warning lights on my dashboard.

  

Here is a shot from today.  He just looks like he is up to no good - doesn't he?

Hershey Park Happy - 2009

We spent the weekend at Hershey Park compliments of my husbands company - they have their annual picnic there.  We had so much fun. . . we spent the entire day there and Charlie rode almost all of the rides willingly.  Two items that were not a hit with him were the Giant Hershey Bar that was walking around and greeting the kids. . . and the dinosaur roller coaster.  He wouldn't go near the dinosaur heads.  Other than that - he was game for all of the other rides.  He stayed up until 11pm that night. . . He was such a good boy and a real trooper.  Here are a couple of favorite photos from the day.

Oh and by the way. . . I finally figured out how to post bigger images on this blog!  Yippiee!  

I love this picture of my boys on the carousel

Charlie and his little girlfriend Macy. . . playing hard to get.

Apologies, Previews and Memorial Day (A little Late)

I'm sorry dear blog.  I've been neglecting you.  I've been very busy. . . I swear.  I'll try not to let it happen again.  I'll start making up for it by posting some pictures from our Memorial Day weekend at the Cabin.  We had great weather and the cousins had a blast together.  Charlie LOVED being outside and especially playing in the Pine Creek.  The water was very cold for Mommy - but he jumped right in everyday and didn't want to come out.  I also bought him a John Deer tractor to keep up there.  It fits nicely with all of Pop's Pop's toys.  Enjoy the pictures and note - I'm trying out my new logo (I plan to use for my little business).  I'm going to try this out here for awhile and make sure I like it.  

(Little Note:  I just noticed - these pictures are getting cut off. . . I tried a new way of posting to see if I could make them a little bigger. . . apparently it didn't work.  Until I get it figured out. . . click on the image to see the entire thing!)

Charlie picked up a load (uh, I mean Cara)

Hanging out in the creek

I love this picture.  Just got an 8 x 10 made of it.  He's contemplating something while enjoying nature.

This one cracks me up.  Charlie was misbehaving (he didn't want to eat his sandwich) and little monkey Ayden was getting a kick out of Charlie getting scolded.  You had to be there!
