Okay I'm a HORRIBLE blogger!!

It's been since OCTOBER since I have last blogged!!  Give me a break I have been busy!!  Lots has changed and the kids both have changed A LOT!! 

So I will start here...

Gunner turned 3 in February!  He just HAD to have his b-day party at Chuck E Cheese and he loved it but it was pretty chaotic!!  Here are a few pics:



Charli has absolutely stolen ALL of our hearts especially her BIG brother!!  He loves her so much!  Sometimes a little too much!  She will be 1 in less than a month and I'm really struggling with this!  Her 1st year has flown by and my baby is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything!  It won't be long and she will be taking those first steps! 

Charli at her cousin RyRy's b-day party...She did NOT like the water!

Here are the kids Easter pics:

Other exciting news is that my little brother Tanner is getting married next weekend!  All of us are in the wedding so I will post pics of that next week!!  Here is a pic of him and his beautiful fiance Anna:

Wrapping it up here is a picture of myself with my brother and sister at Tanner's Tool Shower.  It has been a long time since we were caught in a picture together!!

I will TRY to be better at this blogging thing!! 

Rollin..Rollin..Rollin....

Charli has been practicing rolling from her tummy to her back!  She almost has it down but I'm really in no rush!  With Gunner I couldn't wait for him to reach each and every milestone because I thought that it meant he was right on track!  With the second baby I want her to go at her own pace and as SLOW as possible!  I don't want my baby growing up faster than she has to!!

Really mom?  Again???

I think I will just lay in the sun enjoy this beautiful fall day!  That is ALRIGHT with me!!

Punkin Patch!!!

With are busy lives and going non-stop 24/7 we are starting to implement Friday as Family Fun Night!!  This is just for our family of four and we do something fun as a family!  Our first night was a success!!  We started off at the pumpkin patch!  Gunner loved it but Charli didn't really know what was going on!  I mainly wanted to take pictures!  We took Gunner to this same pumpkin patch when he was 8 months old so I wanted to continue the tradition! 

Here is Gunner at 8 months old!

and here he is at 2 1/2!!

Notice I can't get him to look directly at the camera!  He was too busy people watching!

Here is the pumpkin princess!

She was people watching too! 

We had so much fun making this a family tradition!  We let Gunner use his "allowance" money to make his first purchase: a pumpkin of course!  He searched and searched for the perfect one and once he selected the perfect pumpkin, he pulled his money out of his pocket and paid for it!  Then he got his sucker and told the lady he wanted his money back!  

Needless to say he is taking good care of his pumpkins!  Here is the only picture of them BOTH looking at the camera...kinda!

Here are a few more from our Family Fun Night!!

That's all folks!!  Gotta go watch my Red Raiders kick so Baylor butt!!

Just a rockin'...

Now that Charli can smile and laugh at Gunner, he has decided that he likes her ALOT!!  His favorite thing to do with his sister right now is to rock her...

Come on Charli... let's rock...

Gettin a little lazy about it...

Take a break for some kissin and some huggin

Let's try it this way now!

Don't cry Charli...

and....

I"M DONE!!!

Our Princess is 3 months!!

Charli Brooke you are 3 months old today!  The past 3 months have been so sweet and we have loved every minute of it!

 

Here is what you are up to:

You are wearing size 3-6 month clothing.

You wear a size 1 diaper!

You are sleeping 10 hours at night now!  This is a bittersweet moment for mommy!  I love my sleep but I sure do miss my cuddle bug at that 2 am feeding!  You can feel free to wake up on occasion if you are wanting to be rocked, just don't make it a habit:-) 

You have start laughing out loud and you smile at everyone who talks to you!  You have turned into such a happy little girl! 

You love your bouncy seat and your binky!  You also LOVE to be held most of the time!  We don't mind though because we love to look at your big blue eyes and big smile! 

I have been asked many times if your eyelashes are fake because they are soooo long!  Really people??!!  Fake lashes on a 3 month old! 

This past weekend you and I made a trip to Fort Worth to attend Josh and Jessica's wedding!  You were the perfect angel in the car and didn't make a peep the entire way!  This is quite an improvement considering the first 2 months of your life you screamed to the top of your lungs everytime you were in the car! 

Here are some recent pics of Charli Brooke!  She is such a blessing and I can't quit kissing those fat little cheeks!
