Happy Halloween

we had a great halloween and hope everyone else did too! charlee was a fairy this year and im proud to say that i made all of it. she was so cute! she loved going house to house saying " treat" and then would say "thank you" when she left. it was great

as you can tell we made out with candy

grammy j and grandpa came with us that night

what a cute fairy!

the proud mama and little girl

we were lucky enough to spend halloween with jakes oldest sister alisson and her kids. charlee and brooke loved playing with each other, although she doesnt like getting her picture taken. check out facebook for the videos i put on there of charlee dancing....its too funny

make up mayham

i put charlee down for a nap and ran up to the store when i came home exptecting her to still be asleep i come home to find her like this. she got into some on my moms makeup and had it all over the place. i was mad at the time but i just had to take some pictures.

charlee's new cast

so we took charlee to the ortho doctor today. she fell when playing with jake and fractured her arm. we didnt know that she fractured untill about a week ago. poor baby...she only complained about twice so i just thought she badly bruised it. we finally took her get a xray and sure enough she had a buckle fracture. the good thin is that its already starting to heal. so the doctor put a removal cast on her instead of a hard cast. she did pretty well with it today. so we go back in 3 weeks to get more xrays so hopefully everything will be good by then.

gearing up for halloween!

october is almost here! one of my favorite months. ive started a little early but ive been itching to do some crafts....here are a few that ive worked on. charlee is going to be a fairy this year for halloween so im working on her tu-tu she is so excited
