Charlie's 4th Birthday!

We celebrated Charlie's 4th Birthday with a cowboy themed party Sunday.  The kids seemed to have a great time, especially riding the horses and ponies.  Unfortunately Charlie came down sick right after his party and tested positive for Strep yesterday.  His actual birthday is tomorrow so hopefully he's on the mend and feeling better quick!  It was so cute to see all of the kids wearing their cowboy hats and boots.  Here are a bunch of pics from the party.

Charlie's School Pics - 2011-2012

Charlie started the 2 year old class at Daycare last August and has learned so much in the past year.  He's constantly reciting nursery rhymes, singing his ABC's, Counting to 30, and singing anything and everything he hears.  Thought it would be nice to take a look at how much he's grown from August 2011 until May 2012. 

First Day of Class  - August 2011

Last Day - May 2012

I can't believe he's getting so big!!  I love this crazy little boy so much!!

Kk's hospital visit

 Kaylin was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia yesterday. Keeping a one year old occupied in a hospital room is almost impossible. To say that she's miserable is an understatement. She started looking and feeling much better today but her oxygen level keeps dropping and her chest X-ray still shows pneumonia. We originally thought we would be going home tomorrow but now it's looking like Saturday or maybe even Sunday. We can definitely use some prayers that Kaylin gets better and that I can keep my sanity being locked up in this room all day with a hyper baby and keeping her content.
(Pictures are out of order and I can't figure out how to fix them!)

Sunday morning and still in the hospital.  Happy to see her big brother!

Summer Is Here!

Summer is here and we've spent the last few weekends out on the boat enjoying the water.  Charlie went on his first fishing trip with daddy and love it.  He now wants to go every time and gets his feelings hurt if he doesn't get to.  We went to the islands with Josh's family for Memorial Day and the weather was beautiful!  The kids had a great time playing together and running up and down the beach finding seashells.  Looking forward to many more trips very soon!
