Sitting with Santa and Papaw. Charles is not really happy but at least he's not crying like last year!

Thomas Day Out 2010

Playing with the trains!

We stayed at Aunt Betty's house on Friday and Saturday. Charles loves Aunt Betty :)

There's Thomas the Tank Engine! His eyes move back and forth when he pushes and pulls the train. Charles liked riding the choo-choo.

We got our picture made with Sir Topham Hatt.

Also got a picture with Thomas. Charles had a great time and cried when we left because he wanted to stay with the choo-choo.

Charles' 2nd Birthday

Lots of presents!

A cupcake! Mmmm...

Jill Owenby and her son Jack came to the party! Also our friend Kristin!

Yummy pizza! He asked for another cupcake and I told him if he ate some of his pizza....this is what happens!

Here's the cupcake tree (but sideways)

Young's Orchard

Just got our basket and heading out to the strawberry field. Young's Orchard is near Charlie, Texas (about an hour and a half drive for us).

Charles got into picking strawberries right away, but of course, his Doc and Lightning McQueen cars had to help too!

He put the first few in the basket like I showed him, but once he tasted one he was chowing down! He loved the strawberries and I had to be careful he didn't eat too much sand or green stems!

On the way back now after our basket was overflowing. Charles wasn't ready to go yet lol :)

I'm actually holding the bag of strawberries and Charles is holding his bucket. I couldn't let him have the strawberries because he still wanted to eat some but was too full. So he was taking one bite then throwing the strawberry on the ground. You can see the strawberry stains around his mouth :)

Spring time

The new dog, Boo. Charles loves her except she is still trying to chew on him all the time! Raddy loves having a play mate.

Trying on Daddy's shoes.

Helping Mama put together her new vacuum. Apparently I forgot to put a bag in the old one and ran it like that for I don't know how long. So one day it died then I did the autopsy to find no bag. New model doesn't take a bag!

Nana and Papaw got a swing set in their back yard. Charles had to have Mimey (Mickey) to help him out.

The slide is a lot of fun! He says "Wee!"
