...."oh where oh where has Carly gone, oh where oh where can she be"..................

July 29, 2007

Since it was such a rain soaked weekend- and hotter then you know where- we all stayed in on Sunday and played together in the basement. By the time dinnertime rolled around Carly was out of her mind and going craaaazzzzy! She likes to put on Matt's sunglasses and thinks we can't see her when she has them on. Then she runs around the side of the couch and hides and jumps out and screams Aaaaahhhhhh! She also thinks we can't see her with her eyes closed. She was running around the room with her eyes closed and then would stop and start to twirl around until she fell over.

She loves to build with her blocks and look at all of her artwork we bring home from school. She points to it and says oooooohhh. We feel it encourages her to paint some more.

Hope everyone didn't go as stir crazy as we did.

Love to all, Mommy & Daddy xo

...."baby face, you've got the cutest little baby face"....

We just got a copy of the pictures from my Cape Cod vacation from Aunt Mindy. I really appreciate her sending it to Mommy & Daddy so that we have more great pictures of my wonderful vacation!!

Enjoy!

...."cha cha cha cha changes"............

July 2007

When we got back from vacation both of Carly's teachers at school had given their notice. Miss Karen was no longer there and this week was going to be Miss Wanda's last. To make matters worse......... her closest and dearest partner in crime Peyton left the center to go elsewhere. To my surprise Carly took it all in stride and didn't even flinch. I know deep in her heart she looks around for Peyton, but she's so great with her new teacher, Miss Maria and plays hard with all the boys. She is now the only girl!!

She is getting so big, so fast it is unreal. She can say Dada, Mama, Baba (Billy the dog), cup, balloon, bye bye, hi, hey and she tries to say shoe. She blows everyone kisses, loves to hug and kiss everybody and can run as fast as the dickens! She knows how to climb into the tub, off of the bed and up onto a chair. All these changes, and we love every single one!

...."nothin like a good bowl of chowdah"...

July 13th, 2007

Today was our last day in Cape Cod. We all ate breakfast together, took naps, played around the farm and then went to lunch. Mommy's bowl of clam chowder looked soo tasty to me I just had to eat about a quarter of it! I can't wait to go back next summer. I had such a great time in Cape Cod. The ferry ride back was long and tiring but once we got to Orient Point I was done! I slept the whole way home.

Until next summer...............

Love to all, Carly Victoria

...."somewhere beyond the sea, somewhere waitin for me"....

We had such a good time at the beach the first time that we all decided to go back again and just relax, watch the sunset and collect some shells. We saw hermit crabs, played in the rocks and sat at the edge of the water until the sun set.

...."a picture is worth 1000 words".......

For Mimi's Birthday present Pop and Aunt Mindy made arrangements to have family photos taken on the beach with a professional photographer. I have never been to the beach and boy did I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Mommy and I wore the same outfits and we had so much fun and so many laughs taking the pictures. Since Ashton and I both ended up in the ocean- we all had to go home and change. Afterwards, we all went to dinner at the Dockside. I had tomatoes, cheese, french fries and salad. I passed out in the car and slept through the night. The pictures are going to be posted on the photographers website or if you go direct to her blogspot and scroll down you can see one of the pictures of me and Daddy!! Click on her two links on the right! Mommy listed them for people to see. Check it out!

..."sleepin with the fishes"....

July 11th, 2007

This morning Mommy, Daddy, Pop, Aunt Mindy and Uncle Barry all got up really, really early to go fishing. I stayed home with Mimi and Ashton Lee. From what we were told, Mommy caught the most fish and Aunt Mindy the biggest. The girls beat the boys and Uncle Barry can't fish a lick. Daddy and Uncle Barry said the girls are not allowed to go on the trip next year. To be continued............

...."ba na na na na na you say it's your Birthday"....

July 10th, 2007

Today was Mimi's Birthday. We started off the day decorating for her and eating breakfast together. Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Mindy and Uncle Barry all went shopping and I got to spend the whole day alone with Mimi, Pop and Ashton Lee. When they got back, we all went out to dinner at Sam Diego's for some Mexican food. Ashton and I were so good and had so much fun when everyone came around the table to sing Happy Birthday to Mimi. I don't know how pleased she was but we sure enjoyed her flan afterwards!!

...."A horse is a horse of course of course".....

July 9th, 2007

Today I spent most of the day playing with my cousin Ashton Lee and running around the farm checking out all of the animals. I was ok watching the geese and ducks, but once I saw a real horse I got a little scared. We made everyone pull us around in the wagon but once Eeyore got a look at us he was not too happy! I guess if people referred to me as "hairy ass" I would be pretty upset also. From then on out we drove around the property in the golf cart. I also got see LouLou the mini-horse and I also pet the hen, I don't remember but I think his name was omelette! I played all afternoon in the pool with Ashton Lee and decided that pool water is just as good to drink as any other. I also discovered dirt and thought that tasted pretty good too. Ashton did not agree with me on that one, so I dined alone.
