Our little Punkin' at a Pumpkin Patch

Here are some photos from Charlotte's first official outing to a local pumpkin patch. Funny---I don't remember having this when I was a kid. (Not that my parents would have taken us--but still). She had a ball in her little black kitty onesie.

Fall Fun

Here are some shots of Charlotte with the pumpkin and apples we picked at Oak Glen

Here is what mommy did with that pumpkin and those apples.

Oak Glen

On a whim we decided to go to Oak Glen with the Price family from church. It was such a beautiful day. We picked apples, took pictures, ate dinner, and enjoyed a wonderful time together in God's amazing creation!

Oh and how motherly am I?--I baked a great apple pie with the apples we picked. The crust was home made, too! I rock!

Addie and Charlie

Here are some adorable shots of Addisen and Charlotte. They are 5 months apart. Addisen is so stinking cute with that curly hair. Some day Charlotte---some day.
Here are the proud daddy's with their spitting images of them!For those that can't tell, my brother is the one in red and Addisen is the one with the bow in her hair. ha ha

Grandparent's 42nd Anniversary!

Bunu and Buna or for the rest of you all--Grandma and Grandpa celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary on October 16th. What a beautiful life they created together and what joy it was for them and for all of us to spend the day together. Thank you Lord for wonderful parents that truly understand the meaning of love and sacrifice. I am so grateful for this wondeful example of what marriage is all about. The highlight of their day was posing with their 7 grandkids ranging in age from 11 years to 6 months. I was going to just post one picture that looked most decent but I think it's so funny to see the craziness that went down trying to get all kids to sit still, look at the camera, and smile. I hope you enjoy the photos. As for mom and dad--Congrats on a beautiful marriage! We love you!


Here Joanne is thinking---"Oh my goodness, all 7 kids are in one room with grandma and grandpa--hurry someone get the camera and let's get this shot!"


Settle down kids...we just need one shot!


Joanne realizes..."Wait a minute...I don't actually want to be in this picture--I'm getting out-Wait--don't take the picture!" heh heh---yeah right.
Almost..."Ezra sit next to Amanda."
Good...good...now look at the camera!
SUCCESS---Grandpa, Spencer, Charlotte, Ryan, Ezra, Amanda, Addisen, Grandma, and Kyle! Woo Hoo!

Here are a couple shots of Bunu & Charlie.

Green Beans Beans Beans---that's all they ever give me.

The title of this post is for my sister Andreea---(remember good ole' Alta?)

Anyway, here is the video of Charlie and her first attempt at green beans. HYSTERICAL!

Here is another video shot minutes after the first.--I was busting up.

Walking buddies

I've been meaning to add some photos of another friend from the neighborhood but it seems that the two mommies often get distracted and not think to take pictures of their little ones. So here is one to start the ball rolling. Here is Kayden and Charlotte at our church's fall fest. It was a lot of fun and the girls look so cute. Kayden is about a year older and she's doing very well at showing Charlotte the ropes. As you can see in the photo she's making sure that Charlotte is okay and content. She also gives Charlotte and me lots of hugs whenever she leaves our home. Soooooo niiiiice.(That's for you Katie)

Spence and Charlie

Hi all---here are a few photos of my nephew Spencer (my sister Andreea's son) and Charlie. They are so funny. Some of their faces are priceless. Spencer and Charlotte are 3 months apart. It will be so fun to see how they interact with one another as they get older. That sheet they are laying on is so Three's Company. I love it!

Rice cereal--yummy

Hi all---Little Charlotte is eating cereal now. She loves it! We have another hamma hamma hupta hupta on our hands. (When I was little I used to say hamma hamma when I wanted to eat and hupta hupta when I wanted to drink)--basically I never had to be tricked into eating. Looks like Lo Lo (a little nickname daddy gave her--Charlo--turned to Charlo-lo and now Lo lo) won't have that problem either.

I also took a few pictures of Charlotte in some new outfits. Here's our mini fashion show.So stylish in her little dress and hat.

I guess she was over that hat by now.

Smiley girl.
