Halloween 2010

2011-03-04T21:52:00.000-08:00

I pretty much think Charlotte and Isaac were the two cutest kids out there this Halloween...

Pumpkin Patch 2010

2011-03-02T19:45:00.000-08:00

We took our yearly trip out to Bates Nut Farm. It was Isaac's first time. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day:

Charlotte dancing among the Fairy Tale Pumpkins.

One of my favorite pictures of Rick and Isaac.

Isaac's 1st Birthday Party

2011-03-02T09:35:00.000-08:00

We planned to have a birthday party for Isaac at the park, but due to rainy weather, moved it to our house. Kara made some adorable cupcakes and this cake just for Isaac...super cute...except for one little mistake--can you see it?

Yep, his name is spelled wrong!

But how adorable are these cupcakes? And they were delicious too!

Again, thrilled to be sitting in his high chair with a funny looking headband on.

Big sister ready to help if needed!

Trying a little taste.

He tried picking up the cake at first to try and eat it, but finally just decided to dive in face first!

Isaac's 1st Birthday

2011-03-01T21:22:00.000-08:00

On Isaac's birthday, we had a small family celebration at home...as you can see from the picture, he was thrilled. :)

Charlotte's 4th Birthday

2010-08-05T18:30:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my little girl is FOUR years old...somehow that seems so old...and how did the time go by so quickly? Well, she had three birthday celebrations...one in Oklahoma, one with her friends on the day of her birthday, and one with Mormor and Papa to celebrate all the July birthdays in our family...Charlotte, Papa, and Uncle Rob. Here's some pictures from each of the celebrations.

She loved the Tinkerbell cake!

Giving Papa a taste of the frosting.

And to celebrate on her actual birthday, we had planned to go to the park and have some cupcakes with friends...but the weather was cold and rainy!?! So we had them all over to our house.

Blowing out the candle, while Kaden looks on.

All the kids enjoying their cupcakes outside.

And to celebrate all the July birthdays, we went over to Papa and Mormor's house for dinner, cake, and presents.

Happy Birthday!

Visit to Papa and GJ's

2010-07-31T13:32:00.000-07:00

We got to go visit Papa and GJ in Oklahoma for the 4th of July, GJ's birthday, and Charlotte's birthday. We had lots of fun. It was Isaac's first time on a plane and first visit to Oklahoma.

More pictures to follow on Charlotte's Birthday Post...and on a side note...if you take your kids to Shogun, you might want to warn them about the fire during the cooking...Charlotte was definitely not a fan!

Fairy Garden Party

2010-07-29T09:47:00.000-07:00

My mom and I took Charlotte (and Isaac) to a Fairy Garden Party at the Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. I've never been to the gardens before, and they were really nice. They had all kinds of crafts and booths set up and a little fairy parade at the end. There were hundreds of little fairies and Charlotte had fun taking it all in.

She was ready to go a couple hours before we left!

With Mormor

Writing a wish to hang on the wishing tree.

Even Isaac had fun!

"C" for Charlotte!

Preschool End of Year Program

2010-07-26T09:34:00.000-07:00

Charlotte started preschool this January and loves it. They had an end of the year program in June where they sang songs and got certificates...it was so cute. They sang "Superman", "Jesus Loves Me" and "Five Little Ducks", all complete with hand motions.

Trip to Phoenix

2010-07-23T09:26:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun visiting our friend's, the Snyder's and the Kohlmeier's at the end of April...and the best part is, Papa and GJ were there too! Here's a look at some of the fun we had...

Playing dress-up with Addison.

Easter

2010-07-21T14:18:00.000-07:00

Time to get caught up on blogging...it's July and I'm just now getting to Easter. So here's a bunch of photos from Easter...more posts to come soon!

I Never Knew the Word "Papa" Was so Funny

2010-05-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

I love my silly boy...I hope he always has this infectious laughter.

Sister & Brother

2010-02-03T19:53:00.000-08:00

The other day when I went to get Charlotte up from her nap, she wanted Isaac to lay down in her big girl bed with her. She was so sweet with him, holding his hand and talking to him. The next morning she asked me, "When Isaac gets bigger can he sleep in my bed with me?" So sweet.

Laughter

2010-01-21T12:36:00.000-08:00

Isaac means "He Will Laugh" and boy will he ever. I think he has the most adorable laugh ever...but I may be biased. Sometimes he laughs, which makes me laugh, which makes him laugh, and we just laugh on and on back and forth. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Halloween

2009-11-10T11:28:00.001-08:00

This Halloween we went to the Harvest Party at church where Charlotte had lots of fun getting her face painted, riding a pony and more...Isaac just slept in the Baby Bjorn the whole time. That was Friday night and on Saturday we went to a friend's house and went trick-or-treating. Charlotte (Belle) was thrilled to see Snow White there and spent the whole evening by her side.

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-01T17:50:00.000-07:00

We took our 4th annual trip to Bates Nut Farm with Charlotte this week, and thanks to me being on maternity leave, we were able to go on a weekday. I don't think I'll ever go on a weekend again! It was great...no crowds, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Lots of Charlotte's friends came too, which was fun.

Charlotte's Prayer Tonight

2009-08-31T20:53:00.001-07:00

Charlotte has her first day of preschool tomorrow...this was her prayer tonight:
"Dear Jesus,
Thank you for pacis (pacifiers--yes, she still sleeps with one at night), preschool, and pee-pee (yes, we're still in the midst of potty training). You're my best friend ever. Amen!

GJ's Visit

2009-08-16T22:21:00.000-07:00

We did all kinds of fun things while GJ was here to visit...1st haircut and style, a trip to Seaport Village, and Coronado, to name a few.

Green Eggs and Ham

2009-08-04T08:49:00.000-07:00

The other day I noticed Charlotte "reading" Green Eggs and Ham and rushed to record it, but unfortunately missed the first half. Here's the part of it I did get...

Ballet Class

2009-07-31T19:43:00.000-07:00

Charlotte started her first ballet class a couple weeks ago and here's her progress so far...don't judge. She might not look like the next winner of So You Think You Can Dance, but just give her time. I think with about 15 more years of practice she just might be.

Summer Fun with Friends

2009-07-15T16:00:00.000-07:00

Today we went over to Stacy's house for a water play day. The kids all loved it and had lots of fun. Charlotte's new thing is this really fake smile when we ask her to smile (she's doing it in the picture below...not sure how to get a real smile out of her now...oh well.

Family Vacation

2009-07-15T14:53:00.000-07:00

Last week we took a short family vacation up to Mission Springs in Santa Cruz and then to San Luis Obispo for a wedding and to visit family. We had a great time...swimming in the pool, visiting the Santa Cruz boardwalk, getting Charlotte her first Marianne's ice cream, getting to see Uncle Rob, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Jane, along with cousins Amanda, Courtney, and Taylor. Charlotte also got to go to her first wedding, which was probably the highlight for her. The whole time all she wanted to do was give the bride a hug, and I had a hard time explaining to her how busy brides are on their wedding days and how she had to wait until the bride came by our table for her to get her hug. All in all, it was a great trip and we all had lots of fun.

We spent alot of time in the car on our trip as well...Charlotte was entertaining herself by singing "Shake Your Booty" (Rick taught her this,) so we got out the flip to record it, but by that point she just started being silly and cracking herself up.

Charlotte's 3rd Birthday Party

2009-07-06T11:09:00.000-07:00

4th of July Princess

2009-07-06T10:04:00.000-07:00

These were the only pictures I managed to get on 4th of July...oh well. Charlotte saw her first fireworks and loved them. She was really sad when they were over.

Charlotte's "First" Ice Cream Cone

2009-06-19T19:26:00.000-07:00

This isn't the first ice cream cone we've ever given her...this is just the first one she's ever eaten and enjoyed. In the past, she wouldn't even try it because it was "too cold" but this time she enjoyed thoroughly.

The Fair

2009-06-19T19:20:00.000-07:00

We took our annual trip to the Del Mar Fair...and unfortunately I thought it would be a good idea to go on $2 Tuesday...and so did everyone else in San Deigo. Although we spent about as much time in the parking lot as we did in the fair, we still had a fun time.

Our friends from Hemet joined us--Tara & Butch, and their cute little girls Lainey and Adria. Charlotte had lots of fun with Lainey, and I think her favorite thing there was the ferris wheel (although it wasn't my favorite). But I had to act brave because Tara was freaking out and discovering that she has a fear of heights.

Disneyland

2009-05-11T18:07:00.000-07:00

Under the Sea

2009-05-02T15:21:00.000-07:00

We went to the aquarium today...I didn't know quite how to explain it to Charlotte when we were telling her where we were going, so I told her we were going "Under the Sea" to visit all of Ariel's friends. It was a beautiful day and we all had a lot of fun.

Our Little Ballerina

2009-04-30T18:18:00.000-07:00

Probably Charlotte's biggest treat of the week...GJ took her to the mall and bought her a leotard, tutu, and ballet slippers. Charlotte couldn't be more thrilled. I'm not sure if we're going to be able to get it off her!

Dress Up

2009-04-30T17:55:00.000-07:00

Charlotte's been having lots of fun with GJ in town for the week. They've been having tea parties, playing dress up, baking pies, and shopping at the mall. She's been in little girl heaven! She got to play dress up with GJ's dresses from when she was a little girl. Here she is dressed up and singing "Jesus Loves Me".

Choosing her own Outfit

2009-04-30T17:36:00.000-07:00

Last Friday I told the babysitter that she could let Charlotte choose her own outfit...and this is what I came home to. :) Charlotte talked her into venturing into the closet where she chose her ladybug Halloween costume from two years ago...it was a bit small, but surprisingly still fit. She was so excited to be a ladybug all day, and wanted to wear it the next day too!

"The More We Get Together..."

2009-04-15T20:30:00.000-07:00

This is Charlotte singing "The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together, the happier we'll be. 'Cause your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends, the more we get together the happier we'll be." Just thought I'd clarify, because it's a little hard to tell at first. :)

More Easter Pics

2009-04-13T17:44:00.000-07:00

Charlotte could barely walk in these shoes...but when we were shopping at Nordstrom Rack she spotted them and just had to have them. She calls them her glass slippers. After walking around in them all day yesterday, when I gave her a choice of which shoes she wanted to wear today...she chose a different pair. My guess is these ones were a little uncomfortable...but she did stick with them all day yesterday, put up with the pain all for the sake of beauty. :)

Easter Egg Hunt with Friends

Our fairly successful attempt at a group picture. From left to right: Kaden, Avery, Penelope, Galilea, Charlotte, Biruk, Manoah, Mino, and Ivy (standing).

A Style of Her Own

2009-03-24T13:00:00.000-07:00

Charlotte now enjoys accessorizing herself, adding sunglasses, boots, and backpack to most outfits. She also calls all shoes her glass slippers. She's really into the princess thing right now.

DISNEYLAND!

2008-12-30T18:04:00.000-08:00

Rick's parents took us all to Disneyland for Christmas and we had a GREAT time! Charlotte loved it...

She insisted on kissing and hugging the horses on the merry-go-round everytime she got off, along with other animals she met along the way, such as this elephant.

She got a little Cinderella dress, and had fun meeting up with Kylie. The only downfall (for me) is that she most of the time would only let me carry her. I got very used to hearing her say "Carry you mommy." I think her favorites were Dumbo, Small World, and Peter Pan. We happened to be there when it was really crowded. In fact, on our second day there they shut down the park around 3pm because they reached maximum capacity. But it was all part of the experience. Lots of people, exitement, holiday decorations and music. All in all we had a wonderful time and we're looking forward to taking her back soon.

Wild Animal Park

2008-12-30T16:08:00.000-08:00

Charlotte had a great time at the Wild Animal Park--getting her face painted, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, making a lion mask, and especially riding the merry-go-round.

Christmas Day

2008-12-30T15:57:00.000-08:00

Charlotte got really into Christmas this year, which was super fun. Rick's parents were here from Oklahoma City and we all had a great Christmas Day.

Thanksgiving

2008-11-30T18:18:00.000-08:00

Here's Charlotte on Thanksgiving. She never lets these two dogs out of her sight...Olaf and Gustaf, named after my parent's two dogs. She is a big fan of stuffed animals, especially dogs. She has another few dogs at home, and sleeps with about 10 stuffed animals every night.

Overall, Charlotte enjoyed Thanksgiving...she called everything turkey and kept asking for more turkey, even though she really wanted more sweet potatoes. It's hard to believe this is her third Thanksgiving.

Some Random Pictures

2008-11-25T18:31:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure when Rick took these pictures of Charlotte...but I think they're pretty cute. Looks like she was trying to help out in the back yard.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T22:04:00.000-07:00

Charlotte was a doggie for Halloween and she had a fun time with a few of her friends...she and Penelope even went trick-or-treating, and actually really enjoyed themselves, much to my amazement. I thought she'd be a little too young for the whole trick-or-treating thing, but she caught right on. She also had fun telling everyone "Happy Halloween" but it came out more like, "Happy Ween".

3rd Annual Pumpkin Patch Trip

2008-10-20T21:35:00.000-07:00

We took our yearly fall trip to Bates Nut Farm this past weekend. Charlotte had lots of fun running around checking out all the pumpkins and seeing all the animals. We might even have to try and get another trip in before Halloween if we have time.

Feeding the goats with dad. She had a hard time figuring out that her hand had to be open in order for the goats to get the food from her, and kept holding out a closed fist.

Some Pictures

2008-10-17T20:22:00.000-07:00

Charlotte loves stacking books???

Loves to cuddle up with all her stuffed animals...she sleeps with about ten of them.

Charlotte trying out her new potty. She sat on it for about 45 minutes, but never went and hasn't shown any interest since...so we're just waiting for her to be ready.

Charlotte loves reading books too...just like mom!

Mom's Back at Work

2008-09-13T17:43:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm back at work now...school is in session, which means my posts are going to become alot less frequent. Here's a couple pictures from a few weeks ago when Manoah stopped by for a visit.
Charlotte loves blueberries...

Fun in the Sun

2008-08-03T19:25:00.000-07:00

This summer has been so much fun and I've been loving getting to do some fun activities with my friends and their kids. Here's some of the gang at Legoland: (from left to right) Penelope, Kaden, Charlotte, and Manoah (the ladies' man).

Another Birthday Celebration

2008-07-20T19:45:00.000-07:00

After celebrating Charlotte's birthday with Rick's side of the family in Oklahoma, we came home and had a small birthday celebration for Charlotte and Grandpa Arlen's birthday.

She also had her first bite of ice cream, which I guess was a little cold for her, because she seemed a little shocked and didn't love it as much as I thought I would. Oh well...no use in rushing it.

Birthday Weekend!

2008-07-08T16:56:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th of July and Charlotte's birthday visiting GJ and Grandpa Frank in Oklahoma. It was a fun-filled weekend and Charlotte got to do lots of new things, see lots of family, and get spoiled by everyone! I was a little worried about how she would do on the three hour plane flight, but she was great.

She even fell asleep in my lap right after we took off!

Swimming on the 4th.

Hot dogs and lots of mustard!

Charlotte's birthday cake, which she loved!

Having a tea party with GJ!

A Day at the Fair

2008-06-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

Charlotte loves animals (definitely didn't get that from me,) so we figured she'd enjoy the fair. And she did! She loved petting all the animals...except I think the horse was a little intimitating. She also had a great time listening to some live music and showing off her dance moves. Looks like we might have a little 4H-er on our hands.

And of course some lemonaid to finish off a great day at the fair.

Hanging out with Friends

2008-06-22T12:54:00.000-07:00

Every Wednesday a group of us get together and the kids play and the moms talk. It's a fun time. Here's some pictures from last Wednesday when we all went to the Verdugo's.

Summer Fun

2008-06-15T14:01:00.001-07:00

So far summer has been filled with lots of fun things...playing in the kiddie pool, going to the beach, going to the Wild Animal Park, and of course...hanging out with friends. I'm loving being off work and getting to spend time with Charlotte.

Penelope and Charlotte hanging out at the beach. They both had a bit of a hard time sharing the snacks.

Charlotte trying out a surf board for the first time.

And at the end of the day, she's all tired out. Just the way mom likes it!

The Whole Gang

2008-02-19T19:57:00.001-08:00

Well, we decided to get all of the kids together for a picture on Super Bowl Sunday...let's just say it was pretty crazy...but here they all are, from left to right: Avery (Mindy's baby,) Ivy (Jenny's baby,) Kaden (Kara's baby,) Manoah (Anjuli's baby,) Charlotte (mine,) and Penelope (Becca's baby.) This was the best shot we got, and of course Charlotte's shoving a cracker in her mouth! And we did get an especially cute one of Penny and Charlotte (see below).

First Words

2008-02-03T14:15:00.000-08:00

Charlotte has been taking her time with the whole talking thing, so we've been anxiously antipating her first words for a while now. A couple weeks ago she finally busted out with her first word, or rather phrase, "Oh yeah." Not at the top of the list for commonly heard first words, but we'll take it. And that's one of the things we love about our little girl...she has her own unique style. And more recently she's been saying the more commonly heard word among little ones, "Uh-oh." Of course this word is also unfortunately accompanied by the dropping of her cup, food, etc. which isn't too fun for mommy and daddy on clean up duty.

As for the pictures...we've had some trouble getting some good shots recently, because if flash is involved, she is not a fan of having her picture taken. (See tantrum picture below.) But I had to include a picture of her in the adorable hat she got from Aunt Stacy and Uncle Rob for Christmas. Hopefully she'll get over her fear of the camera soon and I'll have more to share with you.

Oh, and she following her father's footsteps...she likes to wear a chain with her wallet!

Playing at the Park

2008-01-07T20:22:00.000-08:00

One of Charlotte's favorite things to do is play at the park. She loves the swings, and going down the slide...but she always turns around and goes down on her stomach (feet first). On this particular day at the park, she became quite attached to another kid's purple ball, and wasn't too happy when she had to give it back! :)

Christmas

2007-12-29T20:26:00.000-08:00

We all had a great Christmas...especially Charlotte! She got lots of fun new toys, including her own princess castle, where she likes to sit and read her magazines...

Photo Shoot

2007-12-10T20:04:00.001-08:00

My parents have a huge dog named Olaf, who Charlotte loves, and my mom decided to send out a picture of Charlotte and Olaf in her Christmas cards, so she did a little photo shoot. Just thought I'd share some of the pictures with everyone!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Hanging out with Mom's College Friends

2007-10-21T09:14:00.000-07:00

This weekend we got to go meet some of mom's college friends, Kim, Sarah, and Monica. We took over a Starbucks in Ocenside and I had fun playing with my new buddies, Brody and Anna while our moms got to catch up. We all had a great time.

Me and Aunt Kim.

Trip to Phoenix

2007-09-06T19:40:00.000-07:00

For Labor Day weekend we went to Phoenix to visit our good family friends the Snyder's and Kohlmeier's. Besides being really, really HOT, we had a great time! Charlotte got to spend lots of time with her new buddy Canon, and she got to meet Kylie and brand new baby Addison too. Overall, it was a great weekend of relaxing and spending some quality time with great friends.

Summer Fun!

2007-08-16T21:58:00.000-07:00

She's Walking!

Charlotte's been walking around for awhile now...here's a video of some of her first steps a few weeks ago. She's gotten much better now! The video's a little dark, but hopefully you'll get the general idea.There's actually not that much walking to see, a few steps at the beginning of the video and a few steps at the end. It's hard to get her to "perform" on command...but hope you enjoy!

Charlotte's 1st Birthday!

2007-07-08T21:43:00.000-07:00

Well, the big day has come and gone, and I can't believe it's already over. Most of all, I can't believe Charlotte is already one year old! Time really does fly...

She did dive into the cake, and loved it! And it was a mess, ending up in her hair and everywhere else. It was so much fun though!

4th of July

2007-07-05T09:57:00.001-07:00

Today was Charlotte's first time swimming. She loved it! The water felt great with how hot it's been recently, and it was a fun way to spend part of the day on the 4th of July.

This was my due date last year, and it's pretty crazy for me to look back and remember what it was like when we were anxiously awaiting Charlotte's arrival. And now I can't believe an entire year has gone by. The time really does go by fast.

Here she is just relaxing in her little floating device. I think she would have stayed in the water all day if we had let her!

But in the end she was all tired out, and went home for a nap.

And then off to a 4th of July party, where her friend James was very persistent in trying to give her a kiss. It was adorable!

A Year of Charlotte...

Since Charlotte is approaching her first birthday, we thought it'd be fun to highlight some pictures from her birth until now. Hope you enjoy!

Trip to San Luis

2007-05-28T15:42:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I got to go up to San Luis to visit my Uncle Ben at college. I also go to see my aunt Jane and cousin Amanda. We had lots of fun visiting all of the places my mommy used to hang out at. Here I am at Montana de Oro State Park. It was windy and cold!

A little update...

2007-05-06T17:37:00.000-07:00

Charlotte's been getting to be quite a busy little lady...she's been crawling all around, pulling herself up on furniture and getting into everything she possibly can. She also gives hugs to all her stuffed animals and her mommy and daddy and most other people who ask.

And during naptimes and at the end of the day, she's all tuckered out! Her favorite sleeping position is with her little tush up in the air.

Easter in Oklahoma

2007-04-10T21:12:00.000-07:00

This Easter I got to go to Oklahoma for the very first time to meet my Great-Grandpa Dawson and to spend time with my Grandma and Grandpa Jeldy. It was a little colder than I'm used to, but I sure did love getting to see everyone and I especially loved getting so much attention!

Hanging out with my new friends...

2007-03-28T20:09:00.000-07:00

So these are my new friends Penelope and Manoah. I got to hang out with them for the first time a few days ago. To be honest with you they don't really do much. I guess since Penelope's only 5 weeks old and Manoah's only 2 weeks old they just can't do as much as I can. I'm hoping they'll get a little more exciting in the coming months...but they sure are cute!

Welcome to our family blog!

2007-03-26T19:33:00.000-07:00

Well, apparently having a blog is the thing to do these days, so we decided to join in the fun. Charlotte is 8 1/2 months old now, so you all have definitely missed out on lots of fun, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more to come! We're excited to keep everyone updated on the constant changes in her life and in our family. Hope you all enjoy!
