Our journey through infertility, adoption and now parenthood.
Our little stinker!!
This is Charlie and his cousin Libby..I loved that Laura thought to get a picture from behind! My child was not cooperative that day..not that I blame him..look how his mommy dresses him!! Bless his hear, he looks so whipped every time we put his costume on..I love Boo in the Zoo, but I must admit.. you never really get to see a lot of animals..usually!! We went on Fri night and got there at like 5:45ish and all the animals were moving!!! I think we saw every animal there..and there were baby lion cubs....SHUT UP!!!! It was greatness!! I told Bradley "Get over here and watch..this is just like Lion King!!"
They blend.. but here are 2 of them.
And another..they were moving so much that Charlie actually was able to see them and watch them play!!
The Lion actually did a tone of roaring..is that a word.. I would like to point out that I was not the only parent going "what does a lion say"..there was the actual lion and about 20 kids all roaring at the same time!!
I never usually get to see the Kangaroo hoping around..they are actually quite awkward looking!
And my favorite animal of the night...my skunk!!! Our "little stinker" was one of two skunks we saw that night..not bad! Bradley causally mentioned to Charlie that night that his mommy did good on his costume cause it was a big hit that night...Despite everyone else loving it..he is always so serious looking. He does not mind the hat..he never pulls at it..but he is very somber looking when he is in it...this is my attempt to get him to smile or laugh with me..it worked very well...
They both were happy..I zoomed a lot and it distorted the pic a bit.
No family pic that night..maybe on Halloween we can get one!
Love this!!!
The Penguins were a bit hit too..and they did not smell this time!!
Watching some show..we were a little whipped by it, but all the kids thought it was great! Looking fwd to Friday when we can do it all again!!
Bradley was in heaven at this Pumpkin Patch..we got there with only 10 min until closing.he informed me that was his kind of Pumpkin Patch!!
We cheated and let Bradley take him up..it was a big hit with Charlie..despite how he looks in the next picture!!
I wish I had thought to grab a pic when he got to me..huge smile!! Bradley had time to take him up..drop him down..and still make it back to me before Charlie was all the way down. No, the slide was not that long..Charlie slid that slow!!
My camera had awful lighting in the actual pumpkin patch..random. I do love this picture though.
Daddy was having just as much fun swinging Charlie!
So yesterday was my 29th birthday....As Bradley and I laid in bed last night I said to him..
Me: "So, I want to hear your favorite 29 things about me."
about 30 seconds later
Bradley:"My favorite thing about you is your ability to read minds. Since your so great at it you already know the next 28 things..."
He's Brilliant....
Last week Abbe, Melanie and me had a pumpkin patch play date! We have had our play dates since before there were any kids..and my how times have changed!! There seems to be very little talking to each other now and more time spent on controlling or keeping our kids happy!! Melanie forgot her camera and mine went dead after the first picture..so Thank you Abbe for talking all our pictures!
Our first time in a bounce house was not the biggest hit..so this was improvement! We lasted maybe 3-5 min!
Brady and Charlie with the "sheep"..once again, he knows sheep so we went with it!!
Claire and Avery chillin in their strollers.
Thrilled to be in the middle of the pumpkins..this would be one of his "daddy looks"
I am going to say the sun was in his eyes..not that he was refusing to look at the camera!!
The elephants were a big hit for him..and me! When I told Bradley we were front row he responded with " Hope the Elephants don't freak and trample us..thanks Bradley! He then proceeded to tell me at which animals he would up and run from ..if they freaked and got out..never did he mention saving me..nice!
I am fascinated by these people who can contort their bodies in ways they are not supposed to!! I could totally do without the tights though!
Loved the "Lions"..Charlie only knows "What does a Lion say".. not a Tiger..so we called them Lions for the night!
He very much appreciated his Kettle Korn, Cotton Candy and toy!! We tossed him in the trunk to change him before heading home and he was out within minutes. Which was great cause I was worried how the candy would affect our evening!! Overall it was a GREAT night!!
I snapped these as he woke up this morning..I love that he always rolls out of bed smiling and talking!! He loves to say "Hi" and this morning he was saying "Hi" over and over and over....until I got out the camera and then he said "No" over and over.....we may need to have a talk with Daddy!! Surely he did not come up with that on his own!!.....and yes, we are naked in these!
Playing with his luvvy (sp)..not that!
"I cannot believe she is still taking pictures even when I am telling her no!!"
He is now over it and refusing to look up!!
I took 9 pictures and this was the best I got.. 
Just thought I'd throw this in for good measure..love it!
