Another Trip To The Fire Station

We love to visit Jimmy at the fire station these days. Charlie has a whole routine when she visits her daddy. She runs to him in the parking lot, he carries her over to the fire engine and she climbs up into the driver's seat. She honks the horn, talks into the microphone, wears the helmet, puts on the seatbealt, turns on the flashlight, flashes the lights and puts gloves on her feet and hands. Today she found a hat just her size!As we were leaving today they got a call. Just Jimmy's luck! As they pulled out of the driveway he found his wife sticking her head out of the car door with the camera in hand. As they drove away I saw the other firemen laughing at him (or me now that I think about it)! We are so proud of our hero. I couldn't pass up an opportunity like that. Too bad I didn't have my long lense. We love you too much!

Off To The Zoo

Charlie has really been into animals lately so I thought it would be great to take her to the zoo. However, every time Jimmy and I have wanted to take Charlie to the zoo she has been sick or it is raining. Finally today was the day! It was perfect weather for the zoo animals and we even got Nicole, Adelyn and Grandma to go too. We had a wonderful day! Charlie had a smile on her face all day long.




Highlight of Jimmy's Day: Jimmy got to see the zebras trying to mate. Well, he got to see the male zebra trying to mate and the female ones bucking and making some interesting sounds!



Highlight of my day: Being 3 feet from the giraffe's mouth and watching Charlie kiss a gorilla (through the glass)








We watched the chimpanzees for awhile until it got too cold.















Highlight of Charlie's Day: Brushing the goats and giving them hugs (so gross!) Charlie has decided her favorite animal is the zebra, she still talks about the baby giraffe and she says she really likes the zoo. She still says the gorillas are scary but she did kiss one through the glass so I don't know how scary she really thinks they are. We will definitely be back soon.




Thanks for making the day so great Mom, Nicole, Jimmy, Charlie and Adelyn!

This Is For You Nicole!

We have been stuck at home forever because Charlie keeps getting sick. First, she had a cough and cold. When that left the stomach flu came. Then, she had a fever for a week. After that came the croup cough and a trip to the ER. When that left she was still left with a fever at night. She lost her appetite so this is what she decided to do with her yogurt instead.When she decided to smash it in her hair and all over her face I decided it was time to take a few pictures for Auntie Nicole. Right into the bathtub she went.

Love Is In the Air

Happy Valentine's Day! Charlie is starting to understand what Valentine's Day is because of Little Bear and the fact that Adelyn gave her a valentine too. When I asked her to take a picture for me this is what she did.



She thinks these are all very pretty poses I guess. So funny! Atleast she doesn't yell "NO PICTURE at me anymore. Now I just get fishy faces...but I think that is a step in the right direction.
Charlotte's Top Ten Loves This Valentine's Day:
1- Adelyn
2- Otter Pops
3- Riding her scooter
4- Going to visit Daddy at the fire station
5- Pluto (She sleeps with him every night)
6- Watching Little Bear
7- All things PRINCESS
8- Mermaids
9- Zebras
10- Her gold princess shoes
I love you to the moon and back!
