Welcome a New Blogging Buddy..

Ashley was feeling a little under the weather today, so she missed school. We slept in, played Mario Kart (our new obsession!) and started her a blog. She has been wanting to start on for a long time. I will monitor it closely, and I'm sure the new will wear off real soon. Check out her blog at the Horse Lover link.

I Finally Had A Date...

Doesn't that sound sad? But as any married couple with kids know that you cherish your time with your spouse alone, because it doesn't happen very often. Me and Henry almost always have both kids and if we don't have Charlie we usually have Ashley tagging along to a movie etc.

Last night we decided to go to the movies just US! We went and saw Marley and Me. (I know it has been out for a month already:)..) UGH!! The SADDEST movie I have seen since The Passion Of The Christ. Now don't get me wrong...I loved the movie though. I went in expecting to tear up..........NOT bawl like a little baby!! Lord it was tough.

If you haven't seen it, take my advise and take a box of tissue or just a bath towel. You'll NEED it.

Mess Pot

This is what I found this morning when I walked into the Bathroom. I was on the computer which is just 2 steps away and could hear Charlie messing with something. We have a child friendly home, so I knew what ever it was it was safe. We do keep medicine and chemicals locked up!!!! I found that the toilet paper bandit had invaded our stock of Sam's toilet paper and made off with one 4 pack. I luckily found the culprit just in time before he made off with a coveted 4 pack of booty tissue. He tried to run, but I caught him just in time. Sneaky sneaky little dude.


BTY--charlie is going to the doctor this am regarding his little problem. I'll hapefully have some answers soon.

From Baby Boy to Big Boy....

Charlie did soooo great getting his first haircut today. We took him to Sports Clips and really thought that we had made a mistake after waiting for a few minutes in the waiting area. He was running, throwing balls and screaming. I thought for sure that we would have to leave there with the same "rats nest" that we came with. But we put him in the chair and a new Charlie came out. He did VERY well. He went in looking like a baby and left looking all too grown up. Tears filled my eyes as we left. He's growing sooo fast, and I will never take another child to get their first haircut again!!!!

First Belt Test

Friday Night Ashley had her first belt test in BJJ. She has advanced to a "High White Belt". She has many months/years to go to be a black belt, but she is learning to fight. Can't wait to put Charlie in it in a couple of years.
