First Week:

I was trying to get a few new pictures of Charlize to update and also for Mother's Day, but WHEW! This little beauty sure does make me work for anything I could get! I definitely pull out all the tricks just to get a few of her, but its so worth it in the end! :)

I had a chance to watch Addison and Brecken Adams (my niece and nephew) and couldn't help but get a few pics of them too!



First Dance Recital
Thanks to all who came!

Grandma Denise and Grandpa Craig, Denise's cousins from Wisconsin, Aunt Diana, Adam, Aunt Sonrisa, Una (Grandma Patte), Uncle James, Brecken, Daddy, Charlize, Mommy and Addi.
Charlize loved being backstage with all the other girls and couldn't wait to get back onto the stage after her dances were over.

Working in the garden with Daddy.

Charlize loves checking on the garden with her Daddy. She loves to help him water, check for peas that she can pick and eat. The SwissChar (unsure on spelling, but its similar to Spinach) grows really well.

Such a pretty little girl! I love it when I can get her sweet smile, see those big blue eyes and somehow, a bit of sass always shows through :) I have to show all the funny, random, silly pics that we go through to keep her entertained and able to stay in front of the camera for longer than 30 seconds. O, its so worth it! We get lots of giggles in!

We also got to pull out radishes!!

Here's Nate giving her a taste of the radishes. There's one in between pic of her spitting it out, but the bottom two show that she really didn't care for them.

This was quite the full day, as we headed to the arena to watch Nate rope. Charlize didn't get a nap and it was beginning to show, but the best thing about the arena is that there's lots of things to distract a tired little girl.

Going Fishing

We went stream fishing in Pine Valley. Its so fun to watch Nate and Charlize together :)

And while trying to get a cute pic of us both, we had to take some silly ones too!

A happy dance to get the fishy's to bite!!
And finally success!! They caught a fish and Daddy let her reel it in! :)

That's a happy Nate and Charlize!
