Washing the Car is Hard Work

Jimmy decided it was a nice day to wash the cars so Charlie thought it would be a nice day to wash her car as well.

She had too much fun!

Butterfly Babysitting!

Over the long holiday weekend I brought home my classroom butterflies so Charlie could babysit them. She was in love with them. We let one go in the backyard by our garden (We have strawberries, tomatoes and bell peppers growing in pots this year if you were wondering.) but it quickly flew over the fence and out of sight. So long butterfly!Tilt your head for the next two pictures...not sure why they did this because they were saved horizontally.

Charlie isn't quite ready for the idea of metamorphosis but she was really excited to have pet butterflies for a few days.

Here is the cutest Belle dress ever Grandma got her for her half birthday! She wears this dress daily and has decided Belle is her favorite princess. I wonder if it's because she kinda looks like her. Who knows?!

Another New Cousin

Charlie has another baby boy cousin who arrived today. Meet Caleb Vernon Rush. He is so cute and perfect! Charlie understands now that she is the big cousin, not the big sister. It was a huge fight when Logan was born. I know she wants a real baby of her own to live at her house. She tells me she doesn't have a family because she doesn't have one. For now, baby cousins will have to do! Mama is not quite ready for that adventure yet! We can't wait to play with you soon...we love you to pieces already:)

Daddy's Shaving Cream

Here is another blog post for you Nicole! Charlie loves to watch Jimmy shave his face. It is so cute to see her sit there and watch her daddy. I know she is always so curious about that white stuff he uses. She was so excited when I sprayed a little bit on her tummy. Boy, a little bit goes a LONG way!

River Trip #1

We started off the river season this weekend. Charlie loves the river and I think she missed it all winter. The water was a little too cold still to go swimming in but not for the dogs. We played by the shore, drove the golf cart around and had a nice relaxing time. See you soon river!

Katie's Shower and a New Pet

Charlie and I went to a beautiful shower today for Katie and her soon to be little boy. It was a book theme and each table was decorated so cute. One table had the book One Fish Two Fish...and it had real fish too. Of course, after Nicole and Adelyn took all the fish home we adopted one from her.

Meet Nemo...



Charlie LOVED her fish. She would say good night to him, feed him and watch him swim in circles every day. One night a couple of days later I noticed Nemo was "resting" at the bottom of the bowl so we said good bye to Nemo that night because he was leaving to go find his daddy Marlin in the ocean. She asks where her fish went from time to time but when I asked her if she wants another one she said she wants a turtle instead. So now we are in the market for a tortoise for our second pet. Well, it would be our fourth pet but Charlie does not consider her dogs pets. They are her brothers and there is no talking her out of this one.

I love her little curls in this picture:)
Thanks Katie for inviting us to your shower and thanks for the new pet. We enjoyed him while he lasted. Of course, we can't wait to meet your little man!
