++++Charlie's B-day++++

June 19, 2009

Charlie turned 3!

We had lunch at the park. This is the boys waiting in line...and doing Spider-Man poses.

This is Charlie beyond excited about opening his present from Grandma Gaudin. He was just as excited about the Batman bag and card as he was about the toy.

Grandma sent him a Batman computer - he loves it.

My college roommate get-together....Heather, me, Cliff, Jen, Kathy, & Andrea in front.

So fun.

Charlie at his 3 year Well Child Check - although he is holding up the 3 staples Dr. Hollingsworth took out of his head from an incident a week earlier.

*********Last Day of School***************

So, the last day of school was June 9th, but we've been busy with summer stuff.

Aleah's last day of 3rd grade - Cam's last day 1st grade.

And their last day at Bonneville Elementary. They will be going to Emerson next year. Aleah got into the ELP program and it is way closer to our house.

Our big soon-to-be 2nd grader!

Aleah always gets weepy on the last day of school.

Ice-cream to celebrate the end of school and the start of summer.

*************Silly Boys & Grandma's Visit*********

Cam has lost both of his top teeth now, so he speaks with a lisp; it is so cute.

Charlie saw that I took a picture of Cam in this pose and insisted on having one too.

Aaron's mom came to visit! We had a great time. This is her, Aaron, and our friend James at a stone garden called Gilgal.

This is Aaron spinning his mom at the park until she got sick - she had just done the same thing to him.

Mom, Charlie, & I went to Temple Square and saw the Joseph Smith Movie and then visited "Big Jesus"; that's what my kids call it.

I've been so behind on this blog - sorry. I downloaded 116 pictures from my camera, so I'll have enough for quite a few more blogs :).

This is from Mother's Day. I always get a garden. This year Aaron built me another box, so we were able to plant a whole lot more. It's only been a month, but we have had so much rain; my plants are huge.
Cam has been fighting us taking off his training wheels for years - really. Finally, we told him there was no choice, at 7 it was time to be a big boy. This is him right before his 20-something crash. There was a lot of tears, kicking the bike tires, screaming; but then I sent Aaron away and it got much better :). I promised Cam he could have whatever treat he wanted and stay up as late as he wanted that night...and a miracle happened...he rode his bike.

We decided to head to the park to celebrate Cam's success, but since neither Char nor I have a bike, it was the stroller and Rollerblades for us.

Isn't this just the most attractive picture you've ever seen? But I figured no one else was going to take a picture of me, so I'd do it myself.

My 3 crazy kids; I mean my 2 silly children and their too-cool Dad.
