The Rest of April

Yay, I got April all finished up! I did skip some days, as warned, and in looking through my photos I noticed that May was very skippish too. Just to say. So Maybe I’ll toss in some extra photos for the May blog posts. :)  Or just make some extra posts! Anywho, here’s the rest of April:

Day 106: McFayden Pond Park: This wasn’t my fave photo of the series taken this day, but the ones that were had my friend’s kid in them, and I haven’t asked her if I could post them here. If I get her permission, I’ll post them. Her kid is such a cutie! However, I do really love the colors I’ve got here, it feels like a photo from the 70’s for some reason…

Day 108: Ready to Hike: Daddy and Charly were going hiking and she was all set to go. She’s got her Army shirt and her L’il Airborne hat. :)

Day 109: Two Thumbs Way Up: This is currently the wallpaper on my phone. She’s so cool! And yeah, you can see me in the glasses, lol.

Day 111: Clean Desk: Yes I took pictures to mark this momentous occasion. And it won’t be clean like this again until we move, lol. Okay, maybe not, but still…and now that I’m looking at it, this is a really good self-portrait.

Day 113: All American Lunchtime: This is the All American Expressway gate to Fort Bragg at lunchtime. What was I thinking trying to get on post at this time thru this gate?!

Day 116: In the Dugout: This was taken at our church’s softball picnic outing at Arnette Park. We had a great time, though you can’t tell that here. What makes this pic even funnier is that standing next to Charly is her friend with this HUGE grin on her face. Too bad I had to crop her out. But I made it look all moody and now she looks like some 3rd world kid in a Nat’l Geo Mag article, well, a kid that eats every day. I think this look is on her face because she thinks the door is stuck and she can’t get out. Or she’s not getting her way. Or something like that.

Day 119: Go Panthers!: August is the month after next. Yay!!! Oh, for those of you that don’t care, that just means the start of preseason football. Which indicates that regular season football is really close. Charly thinks it would be really fun to “cheerlead.” She wore this to school for Sports Day.

Okie dokie, and that’s all for April. May will be up soon!

Catching Up and Stuff

So I've allowed myself to fall behind a little. I kinda knew it was inevitable, and I'm glad I made it as far as I did. :) In May I ended up in the ER with a horrible migraine and had a CT done to make sure nothing was wrong. As it turns out I do have a brain. Whew! But since then I've only been in Photoshop maybe 3 times, which is shocking really. I haven't done any scrapbooking, except one flower, and I've only edited a handful of photos. I do have a lot of photos to edit and post though, and I will be working on those. I just wanted to put a little post here to let anyone who might read this blog know that stuff is in existence and will be coming. And I'll try to post the photos in small increments so there's not one blog post with 30 pics in it, lol.

Woohoo I passed 100 Days!!

And without further ado, here are the photos that got me past 100!

Day 91: Backwards Day: This day was April Fool’s Day, and so Charly’s class had Backwards Day and wore their clothes, well, you can guess. She LOVED it!! And please, no Kris Kross songs, don’t make me have to jump jump on ya! (hehe)

Day 92: Burnt Arm: Yeah, I did it. In fact, 12 days later as I type this, there’s still a scab, albeit a small one. It has FINALLY stopped itching. I burned my arm on steam, in case you were wondering, and this pic was taken a few hours after it happened. It looked worse the next day, or so.

Day 93: Sleep Study Fun: This night I had my sleep study, and Charly thought it was so cool to see me get hooked up. Her attitude is evidenced by this photo, as is mine. *-)

Day 94 Part 1: Charly was rising bikes with the kid next door. I saw this and had to run out and snap a pic. I love it!

Day 94 Part 2: Charly and I had a mini photo shoot for Mamaw, so she could see Charly and the animals she made for Charly. So cute! In this pic, Charly is giving them kisses. I will certainly post the rest of these pictures on the personal blog.

Day 96: Cot Up High: So this day it was really windy. Like, REALLY windy. I went to let the dog out, and she just stood at the top of the porch steps, wouldn’t go down. So I stepped out on the porch to get her to go down and go potty, and I saw this. I didn’t do the best job of getting a really good perspective shot, but there on the right the leg is thru the top of the gate. Also on the right you can see the cot clears the top of that toddler slide.

Day 98: Nursery Tantrum: Sometimes there are days in the nursery when all the kids are crying. This was one of those days. The child in the photo lied down by the door and screamed for Mommy. Fun I tell ya.

Day 99: Go Charly Go!: This day Charly’s class had a Bike Rodeo where all the kids brought their bikes and rode around in the blocked-off parking lot. This is the same Charly that always whines when we ask if she wants to ride her bike. At the rodeo, she finally got the hang of it. Yay!!!

Day 100: School Naptime: I came to get her, and I arrived early so she was still sleeping. She had her blanket under her mat as a pillow (I think?) and the sheet that usually covers her mat was wrapping her arms up against her body. The whole scene was so cute, I simply had to take a photo.

Day 102: Family Park Pic: Easter Day we went on a 4+ mile hike (nature walk) and it was so pretty. I took a lot of photos, some that were awesome, but figured y’all would probably want to see this one the most. *-)

Day 103: Jim’s Pirate Cake: This day Charly and I went to a birthday party of three kids of our friends Jim and Stephanie. Each year they make cakes that their kids pick out. This year they made a Flying V guitar, a pony, and this pirate. This has got to be the coolest pirate cake ever!

Day 104: Supastar: Today (yes today, though technically yesterday, since it is after midnight now) Charly decided she wanted to look fancy. And thought that to look fancy for the photo she needed to be sitting down. This series of pics is great, but I really love this one.

And there ya have it. I’m so exhausted, gonna head to bed now. Charly is on Spring Break this week, so I’ll certainly have lots of fun pics to show y’all next time I post!
