Weekend Getaway #2

Ash and I had quite possibly my last weekend getaway for awhile last weekend to Orlando, FL. He had a dental conference to go to and I had an important job of basking by the pool, finishing Harry Potter, and visiting my older brother and his family. Tough job:) Turned out that it rained so no basking by the pool took place,,and I didnt finish the book, but I did get to visit with Randy. Mom and dad watched Charlie for a couple of days and everything seemed to go well. Thank you to all those who were on stand by oh the phone in case something went wrong:)
Here are just some fun pictures I have taken of Charlie, and the reoccuring theme in most of them seem to be his tongue protruding:)


He is over dunking basketballs, he needs a challenge like a block


Poor Donald Duck never stood a chance,,,



Fully concentrating on his piano skills,,,he prefers to play in almost nothing:)


He loves tubby time!

This little blue dog is his favorite toy given to him by his Aunt Jennifer--he LOVES it!!

Warming up to the valentine bear...







Just a quick note--it turns out this pregnancy of mine may take a bad turn soon. The baby is fine, but my placenta is attached to my scar on the uterus from my first c-section. This is placenta previa---this is not ideal but it is ok for now. The problem is that the placenta is very invasive and if it penetrates through the scar into the uterus, that is a very bad situation. My doctor assures me he will have a team of doctors there to help control the bleeding, but when they remove the placenta, if there is alot of bleeding then they may have to remove my uterus. This came as a shock to me to have a hysterectomy at the ripe old age of 31, but hopefully it wont happen. I get another ultrasound in a week or so, and we will go from there. He says if it is going to go through the scar it will happen in the next 10 weeks. So say a little prayer that it stays where it is, and that there are many more babies to come!!

Charlie's 1st Birthday

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!
We cannot believe how fast a year goes by, but are so thankful for every second we have had with our little man. He is really such a sweet baby, which I guess means his little brother coming in November is gonna be a nightmare! :) Here are some pics from the birthday party...We missed my brothers but enjoyed spending time with Ashley's side of the family..
Good birthday morning! What time is the party?




Uncle Whit and Aunt Ali,,,,too stinkin cute


Uncle Charlton and Aunt Jennifer--next time we see them baby Hali will finally be here!



The 3 Pregnant ladies,,,yes Ali is preggo!!! We are so excited!
So many cousins! Ashley and Sharon went from 0-4 grandkids in 2 years! Charlie already loves golfing outfits,,,great.


can we say--"overstimulation?"


Popper always makes funny faces and noises!

No shortage of love between these two grandmothers!


Love my Nana and Papa!

Three handsome Clayton men,,all daddies!



mom just had another foot surgery the day before the party,,yes folks,,,that makes 3 surgeries in three summers. How many feet does this lady have?


Good looking family!


Some girls at work asked me what my theme was for his party. Theme? Oh great. I didnt even think of a theme! I have pregnancy brains right now and so I never thought to do a theme. Hopefully Charlie can forgive me, but next year the theme will be amazing! :)

Charlie didn't dive into the cake as we hoped,,but he explored it with his hands..






Thanks to everyone for coming for our precious Charlies 1st birthday!
