Charleigh has been scared of Pam since she was a little girl, this is the first year she didn't run in the other direction when she saw her. For those of you who do not know, Pam is my Dad's sister and of course my Aunt.
We just moved into our new house!!! It is the house my dad lived in as a boy. We are so excited about all of the history here, and about having a place in the country! We enjoy rodeos, horses and being outdoors. Ben and I began dating in 99 and we got married in 2004. Ben is laid back and super easy to get along with, and I try to be the same. He is a wonderful husband and father.
In 2006 Charleigh came into our lives and changed us forever. It has been the most rewarding experience ever. We had Adalyn in May 2009, and she completed our family. We couldn't be happier to have another cowgirl in the family. Ben works for a feed additive company based out of Austin TX. His territory is Missouri and so far it has been wonderful! I work in xray at St. Anthony's hospital. We are lucky to have so many WONDERFUL people in our lives. You all help to make us who we are. This is our page, our memories, our lives and we enjoy sharing them with you all.
5-12-10 Charleigh looked at me and said "Momma, you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" when I looked at her she "POPCICLES!!!"
4-14-2010
There was a lady in the grocery store that looked a little rough, alright a lot rough. Charleigh saw her and waited until we were around the corner to say with an amazed look on her face "Mom, she only had 2 teeth in her mouth" I laughed and told her it wasn't nice to say that and she said "but she do only have 2 teeth in her mouth."
4-14-2010 We were at the grocery store and I asked her if we needed milk. she said " I don't sank(think) so, I sank Dad said we have some...........next time you need to make a list!"
4-10-10 Charleigh looked at me from across the room and said "Mom, I love your heart."
2-2010 Charleigh saw one of her Valentines present at my Moms and she asked my mom what it was. My mom said "You are nosey." Charleigh said "No I'm not, I've got good eyes Grandma."
2-19-10 We were all in My Mom's hotel room that joined ours and it was time for all of the kids to take a nap. My Mom said "Looks Like this will be the Sleeping room." and Charity said "what will the other room be?" Charleigh answered quickly "the awake room, I guess." in a duh kinda way.
Anytime I say "ready fredy" or "sweet pea" or anything else like that to Charleigh she will say "NO I NOT, I A COWGIRL!"
11-9-09 Ben was on the phone with work in another room trying to stay away from noisy Charleigh. Charleigh walked in with a play phone up to her ear pretending to talk, she looked at Ben and said "ssshhhhhh, I am on the phone with work."
10-29-09 Charleigh was watching old videos of herself as a baby when she said "Daddy, I want to be that little again." Ben told her she could only be that little once and that it was kinda sad . Charleigh said " Yeah I would be sad if I was too little to ride Scooter."
9-5-09 We were driving back home after visiting family in Mississippi when Ben got a phone call so he pulled off the road. Charleigh said "What happened, did dad forget how to get out of Sissippi?"
8-2-09 We were at a birthday party for some family friends and Ben and Charleigh were getting something to eat. Charleigh was being really shy standing behind Ben and tapping her foot into his heel. When he asked her why she was being so shy she answered "Cause I don't want "enyone" to see my bread." she had a bun she was eating and I guess she was a little embarassed about it.
8-1-09 Ben was driving and made a wrong turn so he turned down a side street to turn around and said "opps this is a one way street." and he had to keep going to find another street. Charleigh started laughing and said "Momma, you gonna have to drive if Daddy keeps getting lost!"
5-15-09 Ben came into the room where Charleigh and I were sitting and he said his pants were getting too tight and that he felt like his belly was hanging over. Charleigh didn't say a word she went to pulling up my shirt and then said "wook at Momma's belly!"
5-11-09 Last night Charleigh got down one of our wedding pictures and asked "Momma why you murried?" I explained that when you love someone and I love her Daddy and she interupted me and said "No Mom, why did Dad Murry you?" I didn't have an answer I just laughed.
5-09 Charleigh came into my room and asked me if I was ready to get up and eat ceral one morning, I told her yeah and when I was walking down the hall she said "Mom your hair is crazy"
"You are funny" she said this as her hair is going in 1,000 different directions .
I was asking Charleigh what kind of cake she wanted this year for her birthday and she said "an Elmo cake, no blow out the candles." What she was saying was last year she had an Elmo cake but she was too afraid to blow her candles out. How did she remember that?
I was cleaning out Charleigh's closet yesterday, when she came in and said " Ahhhh C'mon Momma, don't make a mess, I am trying to clean up!"
We were in our room fixing the closet and Charleigh kept pretending like she was going somewhere. She would say bye-bye,bye-bye..... and Ben said "Goodbye and Good Riddens" Charleigh came marching back into the room and said
with her hands on her hips..... "HEY! What you talking 'bout?!" We were just laughing and she repeated herself until we answered.
Charleigh and I were making Halloween cookies and she leaned over and kissed my stomach. I asked her what she was doing and she said "kissin' the baby in your tummy"
I was brushing Charleigh's hair and she turned around and looked me in the eyes and said "easy, Momma."
I asked Charleigh if her daddy was silly and she said
"NO, STINKY, DADDY'S STINKY!!" I about died laughing!
