Here are a couple of ultrasound pics, we are very excited we are having a GIRL...now we must start the planning!

Here is a foot.

Here is her face.

These are her skinny legs.

Our First Snowman

We made our first family snowman this year! Everybody put on all their gear and headed to the backyard!

Before we could start on the snowman we of course had to make a SNOW ANGEL!!

Here is Daddy and Charlee rolling up the ball to make the bottom of the snowman!

Here is the bottom. Charlee said "WHOA....he is going to be BIG"

Here is the bottom with the tummy!

Here he is! Charlee found sticks for arms. A weed for the mouth. Rocks for eyes and a carrot for the nose. She said the CUTEST thing. We have been reading Frosty the Snowman and so naturally when I put the pail on his head she says......."Okay now when does he start singing" Thats one for the scrapbook!

Charlees Surgery

Charlee had her Adnoids taken out and both tubes put in her ears as well as a Stye removed from her eye. She did GREAT!
Here is Charlee after we came home from Surgery tying to squeak out a smile.

This is Lumpy the Monkey that Grandpa Ed and Grandma Marilyn had us pick up to cuddle!

This is Freddy the Frog that Grandma Judy sent and we got to open when we got home!

All she wanted to do all day was cuddle. She slept the majority of the day. She was a CHAMP!

Charlee sleeping after we got home with her two new animals.

Christmas with the family

Here is our Tree at home. Charlee took this picture. She sure is becoming a good photographer. We had a whirlwind Christmas as usual. We celebrated Christmas Eve at our house in Omaha and Christmas morning we opened presents--just the three of us. Then we headed to Hastings for Marilyns (Gregs Mom) side Christmas. The Saturday after we headed to Stacis (Shaunas sisters) for Shaunas family Christmas then back to Hastings on Sunday for Eds (Gregs Dad) side Christmas. CRAZY but we had a lot of fun!

Here is Charlee with her Great Grandma Viv (Gregs mom's mom). She was supposed to be giving a Thank You for her gifts.

Charlee got a Barbie sketch pad from Gregs aunt Bonnie that she really liked. This is her and Dayna (Gregs cousin) playing with it.

Here is Aunt Angie opening one of her gifts. I had to help everyone.

We headed to yet another Christmas on the Saturday following. It was at Stacis house with all Shaunas family.

Aunt Stacis family bought Charlee a double stroller--one of the things on her list from Santa. She was so sad that her baby "Cradle" had to go places all by herself---she really needed to take two babies.

Grandma Judy and Grandpa Rudie bought pettiskirt outfits for the two girls. Charlee LOVES tutus and this is the cutest ever.

Here are a few of the kids. Charlee 3 Bailey 15 Levi 10 Kenzie 6. I cannot believe that they are all getting so big!

NEW PHOTO OF CHARLEE

We had our christmas session with Katie Arndt...here is a sneak preview. I cannot believe how grown up Charlee looks. Katie is a great photographer if you need one!

Painting Pumpkins

We painted pumpkins instead of carving...a bit less messy. Charlee had a great time and the finished product turned out pretty good!

This pumpkin is HUGE!!

Here they are....SO CUTE and SPOOKY!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Valas pumpkin patch in Omaha and had so much fun. Greg, Shauna, Charlee, Grandma Judy and MaKenzie got to come. There is so much to do there, see the farm animals, watch the pig races, look at the story book house, the haunted house, go carts, a train...and don't forget the pumpkin patch and the carmel apples!

Who is this witch...its Grandma Judy!!

Here we are in a GIANT rocking chair!

They had tons of funny signs!

The girls got to do pony rides!

Charlees horse was named Charlie...meant to be!

We rode on a real train all the way around the pumpkin patch....they love their GRANDMA.

Here is our little train conductor!

Here we are on the hayrack ride out to the pumpkin patch! It was a really nice day!

We have to choose just the right one.

Charlee decided to sit and take a break!

Here we are on the way back in from the pumpkin patch...EVERYBODY HOLD ON TO YOUR PUMPKINS!!

Las Vegas in September

We went to the rainforest cafe when we were there. Charlee loved all the animals...water..and noises...so much that she couldn't focus to eat. They both liked these animal barstools!

Mabelle has a swimming pool at her house...we all enjoyed it. Charlee and Mabelle would jump in, get out, jump in, get out...I think that you get it!

Charlee liked the goggles!

We made cupcakes with the girls...They were great at stirring..lots of licking.

Cash just hung out and watched the girls! He is so dang CUTE!

This time the mommies got to lick the spoons.

We had a gift exchange for the girls birthdays... Here is Mabelle opening her presents...Charlee got her a couple books, a monkey game, and an Ariel costume!

Here is Charlee opening her presents...she got an Ariel costume and a great wooden castle (dollhouse)...which she loves...THANKS AGAIN MABELLE!

Here are the girls or should I say "Ariel" playing with the new castle...Mabelle didn't want Charlee to move her guy.

Here are the two girls playing in the bath! Tracy and I cannot figure out why the girls don't hollar when there mom isn't washing their hair....Charlee lets Tracy with no problem and Mabelle lets Shauna with no problem, funny how that works.

A Day at the ZOO

Grandpa Ed and Grandma Marilyn came to Omaha and stayed for a couple of days after Charlees party...we spent one day at the zoo.

Here is Daddy and Charlee riding the giraffe.

On Mommys shoulders feeding the fish below!

Here she is next to the glass with the gorillas...she LOVED THEM and they LOVED HER. One of them started picking its nose and she didn't stop laughing for 10 minutes.

Here she is with Grandma Marilyn on the Carosel...she liked the TIGER!

Charlee thinks this picture is HILARIOUS...
