Birthday Weekend!

Charlee had a great weekend celebrating everything that is her!! We started the weekend off at Von Maure looking for a new birthday dress and of Charlee was able to find one.. Then home to make pink cupcakes for her friend birthday party!! They each had about two inchs of pink frosting and she LOVED them:)

Saturday morning we got all ready for her birthday party with friends!! AND then the party!! She had a full house.. Marlee, Maddie, Colton, Austin and then she was almost beside her self.. Her friend Abby came, and it was AMAZING!! Those two had a great time playing and eating cupcakes!!

Saturday night Charlee got to go to the Halloween party at gymnastics and loved that she was one of the big kids!!

Sunday morning she woke up signing happy birthday so to say she was excited would be an understatement! We opened presents which she had a great time doing.. and loved all of them and then the playing started!! She got a lot of great presents and had so much fun playing with all of them!

We ended the night at the Pizza Ranch in Vinton celebrating with family!! It was a wonderful weekend!!

Paint

This weekend we were working on a little project we have at home and were at the store talking about buying paint for the project. I asked the girls if they wanted to use Glossy paint or flat paint and Charlee responded back "I don't want Bossy paint, I like it when paint is nice"... oh Char Char:)

More Kansas City Pictures!

We had a great time in Kansas City and wanted to share a couple more pictures!

We have finally arrived at the Lodge!! So happy to get out of the car!!

travel Visa re instated

You might recall that after last fall's trip to San Diego.. Charlee lost her travel Visa.. she wasn't the best traveler..

Well we gave her another chance and headed to Kansas City the last couple of days and she had a great time and did a great job.. she is free to travel the friendly skies again:)

We stayed at a water park and charlee had a great time going down all of the slides.. she also loved her puddle jumper life jacket because she can be in the deep pools and swim.. she thinks its great to jump in and touch the bottom and then just pop right back up!! SO much fun!! She was also so brave and did all of the fun big kid slides as well!!

The resort talked about a kid spa they had but because we were there during the week it wasn't open so we took the girls to a nail salon and they got to get there nails painted.. they had a great time and Charlee did purple with white polk a dots and then put pretty pink flowers on her thumbs!

We also did some trick or treating at the hotel, where she got to wear her Princess halloween costume.. she loved it!!

Tuesday we headed to the Zoo.. we had a great time looking at the animals!! Then back to the water park! After we swam for about three hours Charlee was begging to go home and I am pretty sure she was asleep before we even got outside of Kansas City!

Keeping up with the big kids can wear a little lady out.. notice the purple polk a dot pants.. she loved that they matched her nails!

Charlee the pretty pretty pretty princess!!!

Weekend!

We love to support the panthers and for almost all home games we head to the dome early to do a little tail gating, or as Charlee calls it... Panther Party!!

This weekend was Home coming and they had some face painters... Charlee normally says no but this time she was game and it worked out well!!

We also got to celebrate Charlee's friend Colton's birthday!!! They had a great time swimming and then of course came the cake and presents!!! Those two are great friends.. and had lots of fun!!
