One Crazy Day-Choas, Air Show, Chaos, Liam's Party

My dad and I had decided that we were going to take Brady to the air show today, but haven't not feeling very well the last couple of days and knowing I was headed to New York soon with Ryan I knoew I needed to go to the doc. So, first thing when I woke up was to call CareNow. There was a 45min wait, so I was able to run around and get dressed and all packed with snacks for the day and Charley packed to go to Mimi's. I get a call that they are ready to see me, so I pack up the kids and head to CareNow only to find out when we get there I had called the wrong one, so instead of loading the car back up I just thought Id wait. So what ended up being a quick trip to the doc before and still ready to go before 10, turned into hrs and we didn't leave until 11 and a case of Bronchitis. Dad ended up meeting me at the CareNow and mom met us at the house so that she could get Charley.

So we finally get off, get Chase and Kendra picked up from school and head to the base. We grab lunch at the Burger King on base which was packed. Only to find out after rushing to eat that the air show had been cancelled due to 35-40 mph wind. Brady seriously could have gotten blown away. We did decide to go ahead and walk around a little before eventually getting kicked out. The entire time Brady whinning that he wanted his daddy and wanted to go home, the wind was CRAZY!!!

So we leave and try to drop the kids off at home, only now to find out niether one of them have a key and Tanya is still at work and Matt's on a job. So we wait and then decide to take the kids to Tanya's school which was at least 20min out of the way, and did I mention I still haven't gotten my prescription filled?

So finally get home and our fence has blown down and Lucky is missing, so dad and Brady in one car and me in another car start our search, b/c even to this day after so many days of her getting out, she still does not have tags. We finally find her and head to Mimi and Popi's house to get Brady.

Its almost 5 before we get Charley picked up and I still have to pick up prescription and get a gift for a bday party @ 6 in grapevine. It ended up taking 30min if not more to get my prescriptions, luckily there was a place just around the corner on Main St, that I found a perfect gift and we were probably just 10min late. And b/c of the day and not feeling well, I made Brady leave the party a little early, but he while we were there he loved it!

WOW, what a Crazy, but fun filled Day!!!

Mimi and Popi actually got him this blue angel hat and t-shirt last summer so it was perfect

9 Months

  Charley couldn't be any more precious! She is eatting much better, she has been introduced to a lot of new foods this last month, inlcuding crackers-ritz &club are her fav (3-16), we know she will always eat mashed potatoes, we ordered them for her at Chilis for the first time (3-22), one of her new fav snacks are lil crunchies (3-25), she eats meats sticks too, mac and cheese (3-27), oh and don't forget watermelon (4-4). She loves any of the organic squirt food and is eating her jar food better too, as long as she has something to play with and she is distracted from getting the spoon from you. And I probably shouldn't admit this but I gave her some of Brady's McDonald's hamburger the other day.

She has some new tricks too, she started clapping (4-4) and she may not be crawling yet, but she does move, she can go in circles and even backwards sometimes. She is very smart too, has learned to pull at blankets to get things closer to her, anything not to have to move, lol.

She is still such a happy baby, she still gets in a serious mood every once in awhile where getting her to crack a smile is impossible. She continues to be entertained by her brother. She loves when her daddy gets home! She is her happiest playing on the floor with her toys or watching Praise Baby, which is how mommy gets dinner cooked. She is still very much a mommy's girl, she doesn't like me to be very far away.

She is sleeping like a champ at naps and in the evening, despite having yet another double ear infection (4-4). Well, except at school that is.

She has now had her toenails painted for the first, thanks to aunt Stephanie.

She just lightens up any room and makes everyone smile that see her! And my heart can't stop smiling!

Footed PJs

I realized the other day I had not gotten a picture of Brady in his fav pjs even when its 80 outside. I actually got these pjs for him to match Charley on Christmas morning and he refused to wear them and now of course he loves them, one reason b/c he knows his daddy thinks his cute in them.
