blog stalking

So, I have been meaning to do this after I read this on someone else's blog and really enjoyed it! I often have days at work where I am not busy saving lives all day and have an occasional moment to browse the Internet..like now... Since it is summer and more people seem to be bored..and some of you just need more Internet sites to search at work to kill time off your day....here are the random blogs of people I don't know but check most days!

http://maydaygirl.blogspot.com/ Read her post today and really connected with it..I seem to really "get" all her infertility post. She is one of those people that post what I am thinking..so I then know I am not crazy...other infertile people feel the same way!

http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/ Super interesting..not just because of all the medical stuff. I think he just had his 5 millionth hit on his blog, so others think he is interesting also. A few weeks ago he requested prayers and he had 800 comments..sweet!

http://itsababynotbrainsurgery.blogspot.com/ This one has not posted in a while..but for all my medical friends..I read the entire blog in one sitting.....cracked me up!!

http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/ This one will break your heart..but the way this woman loves God and the eloquent way in which she writes is amazing.

Those can tide you over for now..besides I realized a lot of the blogs I read are those heartbreaking ones that suck you in and leave you feeling so sad afterwards...

Not much new here, but I am sure I will get some great pics this weekend of my sweet boy!!

Walking video..

Bradley and I were at DSW today getting some new kicks..I only mention that to explain the background noise you will hear.. and Charlie was all about walking. This is not the greatest walking video, but it never is when he knows your paying attention or have the camera out.

Any guesses??

We only bought one picture at Disney..and it was Bradley's idea to get this one..any guesses as to why he chose this one?? Check out Amber and Christy's blogs for more Disney photos if you want!

His love of Pretzels

This was the same day that we stripped him down in the tram....his pretzels get so messy, so it just makes more sense! I think the first one may be my favorite! I know this is just screaming "Choking Hazard", but he is supervised always when he has pretzels! They are just rough enough that I am thinking his gums are loving it..still trying to get a picture of the tooth..it may never happen! I had uploaded the walking video from Disney, but it did not work out. I tried to get another one on Sunday..but the battery on my camera died..maybe tomorrow. It is just so much easier to get when someone else is around!

My Disney Photos...

I have warned you guys that I don't have great Disney photos..they are mainly Charlie..and half of them could have been taken here! I will be glad to have Moms, Amber's and Christy's for when I make my shutterfly book Katie playing in the rain..we only got rained on twice and the second time we were so hot and it was the last day so we just said "Oh Well" and got wet.

This is his souvenir from Disney..it talks and he cracks up when it does. We were eating our daily ice cream and the restaurant was loud so Squirt covered his ear and he slept peacefully for about an hour. Some things we learned on this trip were how to sleep in a stroller and in someones arms!!
We were the only ones on our Tram on the way home from Animal Kingdom so we white trashed it and stripped him down!
I look so rough but this is day 6 I think and it is 12am..mommy of the year award for keeping him out that late. We have many pictures like this..us smiling at the camera and Charlie fascinated by whatever is going on behind him. This was the light parade at Magic Kingdom..it was stinkin awesome. By the way..back to my rough look..I showered an avg of 3 times a day do to the heat and never once fixed my hair or make up..nice!!
Thought this was sweet, but it got blurry when I zoomed in so much!

Brady was crashed out!!
Were on the Buzz light year Pixar 3D ride..one of everyone favorites..I just though his look was to cute.
Moms and Grandaddy and all 6..I tried to get Amber to put her belly in so Kirkley could be in the picture also..I cannot imagine why she did not want to!
Walking in Downtown Disney and doing some shopping while Charlie got a nap!

This was their sweet pose..below is their funny pose!
Bradley and Charlie at Lego Land..that thing behind them is made completely of Lego's..to fun!
Crazy photo!

Snoozing away!
This happened on quite a few rides..can you blame him. You go from that AWFUL heat to air conditioning..I kinda wanted to nap too sometimes!

The Dinosaur area inside Animal Kingdom. Animal Kingdom was my least favorite due only to the LARGE amount of people there...it was almost to crowded to enjoy.
Cannot remember which ride..I am thinking it was "It's a small world", but I am not sure.
I guess this picture just mean we were having way to much fun cause you can tell we have been playing hard..we all look beat!

This was after some water ride in Animal Kingdom..minus Bradley, everyone got pretty wet. I may look dry, but that is only cause my ENTIRE body from head to toe was soaking wet. It took me over 5 hours to dry off. Maybe starting the day off with that ride was not our greatest idea!
Behind us...somewhere..is a lion..or tiger...one of the two!
Charlie was fascinated on almost every ride..he sat so still and just took in everything.

Playing in the room on day one..yes, these pictures are all out of order!
Love his face, but I zoomed to much and it got blurry..

Chillin to his Baby Einstein...yes, we brought it and it was a life saver sometimes!!

Disney is magic!!!

Disney is pure magic!!! A few reasons...

1. The kids have been 100% awesome..they have been going non-stop all day until sometimes 12am and they have been sooooo good. They have been sooo much fun to watch. You would think I was lying if I went into detail how stinkin ridiculously good they have been..



2. This is a snippet of a conversation last night as we were leaving Hollywood Studios



Mom: Okay, group picture please..(and everyone actually did it without fussing..all 14 of us)

Group: Well, we cannot complain..it wasn't bad..and it was the first "group mandated picture"

Mom: I'm trying...

Aric: This place must be magical.....

(For those of you who know my mom, she LOVES pictures..and she is doing so good at not asking adults for pictures..which the guys love, but I think in many years..many..they will wish they had some more pictures from this trip!!!)



3. Disney is bringing out Charlie's first tooth!!!! And the magical part is that is really has not affected him at all. He has been at the park for 3 days now..and not once cried while at the park..sheer magic that place is..cause yesterday we were there from 12:30pm-11:30pm.



4. And one of my personal highlights...My baby is walking!!! He had been taking steps for a few days now..but I guess on Sat night he was taking like 13ish at a time..some my not call that walking, but we do!!! He is getting better each day...he is taking more, but really, he is slowing down and balancing himself. I just took a video to add, but I cannot get it onto the laptop. Maybe when Bradley gets back he can out it on here for me!!



Today is a relaxing day by the pools and golf for the guys and tomorrow we head to Animal Kingdom!!!!! I will try to get some pictures up soon, but I really have not gotten a ton. It is so much fun to watch all the kids that half the time I am not wiling to stop watching to get my camera..I just don't want to miss one great face. Not to worry though..with Moms, Amber's, Christy's and my cameras there should be plenty of great memories on file!!!!
