Sturgis 2007

Heres a group photo we took at the Rally this year working at the Resturant there in Rapid City, we had a blast. My friend Heidi and I waitressed and the boys helped us clean up. If any of you guys ever go to Rapid City you should stop at out resturant there it is called Marlins Roadhouse Grill, if you are not familiar it is the old Windmill Resturant on Deadwood Ave accross the interstate from Black Hills Harley Davidson.


This is a picture that we took one night before we went down to Deadwood for Dinner. We wanted to get dressed up thought it would be fun. Dont really get to do that much anymore.

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

We went swimming for his birthday party. Then after we swam awhile, we ate pizza and cake, and here are a couple pictures of him before he dug into the came and after. He had a blast digging into the cake he kept looking at me to see if it was ok. it was so cute!!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!!

CHARLIES FIRST HAIRCUT ON HIS BIRTHDAY, JUNE 28


from left to right, right is before and left is after. I coulnt belive how much older it made him look, he looks like a little boy now and not my little baby.

HANGING OUT AT THE CABIN

Charlie got to take a bath in the sink while we were there and just loved it. He also loved to go over and look at the fish in the pond. We had alot of fun that weekend. He is 11 months in these photos.

CONGRATS TO DAVE AND STEPHANIE

Those of you that didn't know my sister n law and her husband had adopted a little girl from Guatemala and her name is Maria, she is now 14 months old and they went to back to Guatemala just to visit and decided to adopt again. They will get to bring her home in December sometime, her name is Flora Luisa and was born April 20,2007. So it has been a very excited last year and a half for them, Maria is adapting so well and is so precious and alot of fun.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!

A bunch of my girlfriends and I had a girls night out a couple saturdays ago. We went out to eat at Champs and then just all hung out and had a good time. It was just nice to get out though and catch up with my friends. We had a lot of laughs that night.

CHARLIE'S FIRST EASTER!

Charlie got his first Easter book from grandpa and grandma and loves to read with grandpa as you can see he loves to turn the pages and be in charge...LOL

I'm finally back. I know it has a long time since I have written, but just run out of time some days. But I have a few updated pictures of Charlie. He is currently 10 months old now and we had his pictures taken for Easter and they turned out so cute, he looks like a little man. He is currently now 22lbs and 28 1/2 inches long. He is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up onto everything he can. He is so close to walking but still a little iffy about it. He has 6 teeth already and has not been fussy through any of them thank goodness. He has a very unigue personality and always smiley. Cannot believe he is going to be ONE in just a little over a month. Time has just flown by for me.

The other day he was playing at home and pulling himself up onto the coffee table and got his foot caught so he fell but his forhead stopped his fall and wacked his head really hard and has a huge bump smack dab in the middle of his forhead, so you can only imagine the looks I get when I take him to the store, but he is fine, he just cried for a short while and then went on to playing again. I felt so bad for him.

Dustin and I have been very busy, especially Dustin with him traveling ALOT lately, we barely get to see him anymore, but hopefully that will slow down sometime soon. Then softball started for Dustin last week so every Tuesday Charlie and I go watch daddy play ball and he really likes that. He tends to fall asleep at the second game though, but that is ok. I have been really busy with working full time and then coming home to be a full time mom also, but I am sure alot of you can relate to that.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

I know I have not blogged forever, but I have been so busy with life. Charlie is getting so big of course he is already over 7 months old, time sure flies. He got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa over New Years while Dustin, I, Doug and Ashley went to the cabin for the weekend. We had a blast. Went skiing one day, then went up to deadwood for a while new years and I actually gambled a little and played 3 card poker and WON. I was excited!!! I can see how people get addicted. Charlie is finally starting to crawl a little, it is so cute!!! He is just so much fun. Last weekend Mom and Dad came down to go to a skyforce game, that was fun we also had another couple that we are friends with come also. Sorry I not to talkative today, just have alot going on these days. I promise I will post later on this week or weekend. Just keep me in your prayers.
