Flu

The flu and a 103 temperature does not stop Charlie. He still wants chocolate milk from Starbucks and he will still take a picture for mommy.

A Cookie and a Smile

It is not easy to get Charlie to smile for a picture, unless he has a cookie. Then he is all smiles!

Happy 3rd Birthday Charlie!

Charlie's birthday fell on a Wednesday this year, which is unfortunately a work/school day. I still had the house decorated to surprise him when he woke up and he got to open the one gift he had been waiting for...Sheriff Woody. He was very excited.

After work the celebration continued with Charlie's favorite dinner, homemade macaroni and cheese, and finished the night with birthday cake. I think it is safe to say, Charlie had a happy third birthday! (There are more pictures on the photo page)

(There is a present on that table, could it be?)

(Just what he wanted!) 

(I think he had a good birthday!) 

They say it's your birthday...

On Sunday we celebrated Charlie's birthday with family at Leona's. There is a bouncy house in the restaurant that kept Charlie entertained in between food, presents and cake. He received a ton a great presents and had a blast playing pool for the first time. It is safe to say that the best part of the day for him was the cake and he loves cake...actually he loves frosting. He always leaves the cake behind. (There are more photos on the gallery page.)

(Another delicious Sweet Mandy B's cake)

(Not a bad shot for being a bit short still) 

(I cannot wait for my fork, this is too good!)

(Hey, it's my birthday and this is how I celebrate!)

Sophisticated Charlie

Charlie is very sophisticated for a almost three year old -- he eats his macaroni and cheese with chopsticks.
