This is Halloween!

We have had such a great day! We took Charly on main street to do some trick or treating, and she was having fun but mainly because she had a sucker in her mouth the whole time! :)

 Batman (anj) Cat..girl (Lis)  Butterfly fairy girl (Nat)

After we went and trick or treated at Grammy Joeys house! We then went to Grandma and Grandpa Tipton's and had Ham Chowder and hot apple cider...Tipton family tradition!


Charly was the prettiest Belle I've ever seen!

Uncle Brian was Willy Wonka...and he SCARED Charly so bad...she wouldn't let me put her down, she didn't like all the costumes very much.

Fall

Charly and I went with my sister Laurie and her kids to the little pumpkin patch in Springville! Charly liked to play in the corn and it was so hilarious because she would just stop and lay in it for a minute ha ha, I love her she always keeps me laughing. 

 And here are a couple of random of pictures...she still loves to climb on and into everything!!

She is 1!

We did it!!! Ha ha!! The first couple of weeks of Charly's life I didn't know how I was ever going to be a mom and take care of this little thing. Many times I would (and still do) question if I was doing the "right" things with Charly. It's crazy to look back on the night she was born and how happy but very afraid I was, and now that seems like a dream because I can't imagine my life without the little stinker. I love her so much. She has taught me so much about myself and has given me the courage to step up and not be afraid and take charge. I feel very blessed to be her mom and can't wait for the many years to come with my little sweetheart. 

We celebrated her birthday on Monday with family and friends. It was so exciting to see her open her presents and hilarious and cute to watch her dive into her cake! She's such a funny little thing! It was a great night!!!! Charly is blessed with wonderful family!

B Y U COUGARS!

Yes it's that time again folks and we are SO EXCITED!!!! 

 

 

 

11 months!

I can't even keep up with how fast she is growing...time just seems to be moving faster and faster in the world today. I love this little girl so much, and I honestly can't imagine life without her. She is still not walking and still scooting around. In fact, she has pretty much perfected that little scoot. She is still getting into everything and anything she can. In the mornings when we go get her out of her crib we have to make sure we put her blanket on our shoulder and then pick her up. She is so snugly when you get her out of bed in the mornings or from her naps. She takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap that I am forever grateful for! She loves to go on a walk to the park and swing for a bit. She absolutely adores her dad and gets so excited when he comes home and cries if he leaves to go outside. I'm so happy that I'm able to stay home with this little scoot! 

Never Forget

10 years ago today I was getting ready to go to school in the 7th grade. I almost wish I would have been more mature to have really understood what was going on as I was watching the news that morning with my mom in her bedroom. I remember she started crying and I felt so confused but at the same time just had this feeling in me that something was really wrong. I went to school and went to my swing choir class and Mr. Evans was crying too, but they weren't allowing us to watch the news. Garett was a sophmore in High School and his experience was different because he was older and understood more of the reality and the change that this was going to have over our country. He said that that day his history teacher turned on the tv and said "Shut up, Listen and watch....this is History."
I'm thankful for all those in law enforcement or that put themselves in harms way everyday to protect us and our country. I am will always be proud of my dad serving on the Springville fire department and the Springville Police department. He is my Hero, along with all those that risked their lives 10 years ago on 9 11

10 months! (well 10 1/2 now :) )

Oh my goodness she is getting SO BIG! He scoot is getting SO fast it's like her bum never touches the ground, she looks like a gorilla! She is holding on to things and standing up, and she will walk back and forth across the couch holding on tightly to the couch. She loves to sit on anything that is elevated from the ground and just play on it for awhile and then get off, get back on, get off....and on and on...! She has one top tooth with another trying to push it's way out! She has become more and more attatched to her blanket...and the binky which is kind of unfortunate for us, but we will take it for now. She loves pretending to "talk" on the phone and out of all of her toys her carseat is her favorite thing to play with...go figure. We have just moved and she is getting use to her new place and new room, but I'm pretty sure is settling in well and is still being the champ of baby she has always been ;) ha ha. She is still an amazing eater and I'm forever grateful. She loves to go up the stairs in our house, but still doesn't know how to go down, so we're working on that! Her hair is getting longer and curlier, I love her Afro top! 

 I love this picture of Charles picking her nose! Way to catch that shot Grandma Joey!
