First Day of School

Connor started preschool last week and is loving it!! Carlee on the other hand.... is still deciding. He got two super sweet teachers that are ready to tackle his craziness. The first day he came home and told me all about his day..... he gets to go to music, chapel, Spanish and computer class. After he tells me what a fabulous day he had, he says, "The teacher told me to sit in my chair correctly. But it's OK momma she only had to tell me a thousand times!" THIS is why I love him so much. The second day he got the Kindness award for being nice to his friends. He doesn't remember what he did because "Momma I can't remember everything, it was along time ago!" I still miss my little sidekick, but LOVE that he is enjoying school so much.

Six Flags Fun

Connor loves adventure! He is always up for anything. Eric and I took him to Six Flags at the beginning of August (YES it was 108). We had an amazing time and The Chandlers got to tag along. Connor rode EVERYTHING that he was tall enough to ride. One ride that he was alittle unsure of at first was the Shock Wave. He saw the loops and questioned it for maybe a minute and then was ready to go. He loved it!! After the second loop he screamed "Yea, Baby!". He rode the Judge Roy scream 3 times in a row and would have stayed on longer but the Glow in the Dark Parade was about to start. One good thing I can say about going in the horrible heat... noone was there!!

Don't Judge.....

On Sunday Eric jumped in the shower while Carlee was taking a nap. He was getting out when he heard Carlee stirring on the monitor. Connor quickly said I go get her Daddy. He has done this many times and crawls into her crib with her and plays until we go up to get her out. Well, I guess Connor didn't want to wait this time. Eric starts to head upstairs to get Carlee and they are both coming down the stairs. Yes, Connor got Carlee out of the the crib. SO, being the good mother I am wanted to make sure I saw exactly how he did it. So Monday morning I had Connor reenact exactly how he busted her out. I was very impressed, he actually was very careful and she LOVED it!!! (Excuse the underwear shot.... first thing in the morning.)

A little girl........

Eric and I are still in amazement that Carlee is already 15 months old. She definitely has her own personality and is VERY girly!! Eric tells everyone that she is his little girly-girl!! She LOVES jewelry, purses, baby dolls and cleaning. The last few times we have been at the neighbors house she has kept herself entertained by their jewelry. One night she had my necklace on, all of Michelle's bracelets on, Kristens necklace and watch and Dan's cowboy hat. She loved all the attention. Little Ms. Carlee also loves to talk. You can't tell what she is saying, but boy she has alot to say. She has a great vocabulary going so far and if she can't say it she can definitely show you what she wants.

Her favorite sayings....

Uh-Uh while she shakes her head NO

She definitely knows what you are asking her because she will shake her head Yes or No.

Little Ms. still doesn't like to be without Mommy and Daddy, but it is getting a tad-bit better. She loves to play with other kids but she definitely makes sure we are sitting right there and will check back often. She weighs 24 lb  15 oz(75th-90th%) and is 31.8 inches tall (90%). Sorry for the double pic.....it wouldn't let me delete it!

Sweet Cheeks!

Can you see the attitude?!?!?
