Updated pictures of Charlie

Charlie's first secret plan! My dad has always spoiled his kids and now he is doing the same with his grandkids! He used to take us to the toy store every Saturday and buy us a toy or take us to do something special and there was only one rule... don't tell mom. Well now he has taken secret plans to a whole new level. They not only happen on Saturdays now the happen EVERY TIME he has the kids. He told me there is now a "point system" to the secret plan, they point and he buys whatever they want. Every time we show up at there house they have some giant new toy for Charlie! SPOILED!!! My mom is just as bad! This was Charlie's first secret plan at the zoo gift shop!

My beautiful family!!

He speaks!!

Charlie is talking! His favorite word is dada but he also says hi and dog. Though I think sometimes he gets dog and dada a bit confused. He is ten month old now and growing up so fast. We have been spending a lot of time out at the lake house and he LOVES playing in the sand and swimming in the pool.

No one has made an offer on our house yet but we have had a lot of people come by to look at it so we're hoping someone makes an offer soon.

Mark has been playing a lot of golf recently and Charlie and I try to walk to the park everyday to go play on the swings. Life is pretty great!!

We Love to feed this camel! We had to take Mark back to the tram/zoo! He loved it!

Spring break/ Easter

So I know it has been a long time since I have updated the blog but I have a good reason... Our camera is MIA!! I am so sad about this and I guess I will have to get one for my birthday! Thank you Kristen and Kim for letting me use your pictures!

A lot has been going on in the past few weeks.

For Spring break Kristen and her two beautiful children came to spend the week at the lake with Charlie and I. We had so much fun!! Her kids (Will 4 and Lauren 3) love Charlie. Lauren baby's him and Will serves as a constant source of entertainment. As many of you may know Kristen is not only my sister but my best friend so having her around for a week was wonderful. We took the kids to a wildlife park that had 500 species of animals that we were able to feed from a tram. It was a bit cold but so much fun. We spent lots of time on the boat and at the Horseshoe bay country club that has a great pool and a white sandy beach area. Charlie loved playing in the sand and honestly he probably ate a couple of handfuls. We made s'mores and played games/cards at night after the kids went to bed. Mark and Brian came for a few night and my parents for one night so there was always a full house.

Charlie finally has teeth!! After some sleepless night and lots of crying his bottom two teeth have finally made an appearance. They are the most beautiful teeth I have ever seen.

For Easter we went to Galveston and stayed with Grammy and Papaw. Mark Charlie and I went to Punjab (the same party we met at 3 years ago) to help raise money for a friend of Marks that recently suffered a heart attack. We had an amazing time and won some great stuff in the silent auction ( 7 nights in Belize). The party raised about 20,000!!It was a great time and a great cause! On Easter Sunday we went to church and then to Galveston CC to eat lunch with all of Mark's family. Charlie got to go in his first petting zoo. We were able to squeeze in visits with my Mimi and Aunt Mary so all in all it was a perfect trip to the island.

Our house is back on the market so keep your fingers crossed it sells this time!!!

Pop and Lauren on the boat.

Lauren's birthday!!

Look at that things tongue.

Not so sure Charlie is enjoying being kissed by that camel.

It was cold so we had to cuddle up!

I love my cousin Lauren.

Will and Lauren loved entertaining Charlie.
