Florida 2011

Whew!! What a crazy few weeks it has been! We just got back from Florida, so there are lots of pictures from that relaxing time, but before we left Charlie got bit,,,no,,attacked by a crazy mosquito and his whole face was swollen! If I see that mosquito anywhere,,,its not gonna be pretty. So here is Charlie--dont adjust your screen or your glasses. Its just his face. :)

Will before we left for Florida---ready to go!

We flew with the boys while mom and dad drove all our baby gear. We took everything except the kitchen sink. Literally. And I would have taken that but I had to put my foot down somewhere! The flight was pretty good except the last 20 mintues Charlie was really upset. People turn their lovely heads around and look right at me with the screaming child. Oh,,is that my child making that noise? I HAD NO IDEA! I am only sitting here sweating trying to keep him quiet! Sheesh people. Good thing it was a quick flight.

As soon as we got there, we went straight to the pool! Ash took Charlie to the waterfall and he absolutely loved it! Here is a blurry picture of them,,,
Nice family pic. I told my parents to not smile. :))






We went to eat at a place called Boondocks, and they had Jimmy Buffet (not) playing really cool and mellow songs...






Charlie loved this "duck". I didnt have the heart to tell him it was a seagull and it wasnt real. Plus he never asked.





William found himself in the mirror and thought this was fantastic! Provided me with about 10-15 minute of time!






Charlie and his Sesame Boys..






Charlie being thrown in the air. He loved it. Really. :)

On July 1, we celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday, which I can hardly believe. I know as the years fly by, every birthday will have me saying "I can't believe he is this old". For now, he is the sweetest boy who loves to cuddle and melt my heart on a daily basis. Everyone knows him at his therapy clinic, and he always gives them his classic smile.

For his birthday, I was planning on a very low key Elmo themed party. But then I got crazy and had about 4 homemade projects I needed to get done in about 3 days. The good news was that Travis, Kelly, Bennett, and Jackson came into town to play! So Kelly graciously helped me out with lots of things! Mom too!! Love you guys!
