Hi :)

Just wanted to share some pictures from today. :) We had a little cookout over at Kevin's Mom and Dad's, very laid back and yummy. :)
Katie was so cute, she was totally into looking at all of the flowers and just discovering new things. :) I *love* looking at her and knowing that she's seeing something for the first time. :) So sweet.
In other news, I have been totally inspired by this site :) I have joined, but haven't played with it too much. If you're on it you can look for me under the username charinkellie. :)
Some of my faves so far...Elsie's, Danielle's, Ali's, and Amber's :) They rock :) Check this site out for some major photo inspiration! :)

Yay for Elsie! :)

I am so happy for this girl! Her new Love, Elsie line hit two peas today. :) Check it out here!
And that means that my lss Scrapbook Addiction will have it soon! Yay! I know that Brandi will be glad, because I've been bugging her almost every day! Ha ha
If you know me very well at all you know how much I am completely inspired by Elsie, she is so sweet and creative and fun! I had the chance to meet her in real life last July and she was so cool! I love that she's as real and fun as I expected her to be. :) I love having a scrapbook friend like her. :)
Yay Elsie! You definitely deserve all of the wonderful things coming your way! :)

Yummy :)

I absolutely *love* Dippin' Dots ice cream, but my town isn't cool enough to have any :) so I was really excited to find this rip off at Wal Mart! It's really good. Is it weird that ice cream makes me happy enough that I blog about it? Probably :)
Other than that since I am off work for the next two days I have big plans to get some major work done at home! Lots of cleaning, scrapping (I have had the hardest time finding time to do that lately!) and actually cooking real food instead of frozen pizzas. :)
Aww, and I don't think I've said this yet...Katie rolled over for the first time on Mother's Day! It was so cute, she was super proud of herself at first until she realized that she was on her stomach and then she was mad. :) She hates being on her stomach! And she's sleeping in her own room now instead of in a bassinet in our room. She's still definitely not sleeping through the night, but it's slowly getting better. :) I can't believe that she's 4 months old already!

Weekend picture love :)

This weekend was so much fun, and *so* busy! :) Kevin and I took Katie on her first little road trip to see our friends Magan Luke and their new baby Aya! :) Well...she's not really so new I guess, she's 2 months old now! But it's the first time we've seen her. Can you believe that she's almost as big as Katie? And Katie's twice as old as her! :) (Aya is on the left in the top picture)

Their little boy Trenton is getting so big! He's almost a year and a half, and he's such a little man. :) His mouth was covered in chocolate and he wanted to be outside all day, it was cute!
And this last picture is my two sweeties on Mother's Day! :) :) Kevin was so sweet, he set up a picnic in our living room, held Katie's hand and had her "sign" her name on a Mother's Day card, got me some yummy chocolates and way too much money to spend on scrapbook stuff! (Brandi, if you're reading this I'm coming to see you soon, girl!) Speaking of Brandi, I also got my project together for the class I'm teaching at her store here. It should be fun!
I'm getting ready to go back to work tomorrow, ready for another busy week! :)

Dreams can be really weird :)

Know who I dreamed of last night? Nope, not my husband....Joey and Jesse on Full House!!!!! I know what you're thinking, it's crazy! So in the dream I lived in the Tanner house and I was madly in love with Jesse....and Joey was in love with me. Ha ha! Whatever!!!
Joey came up to me all decked out in his hockey gear about to leave for a game and said "Charin, I have to talk to you. Just give me a chance, I love you!" and I said "Oh, Jesse, I'm sorry" and Joey yells "Jesse!?" and Jesse walks in combing his hair and says "what?" Ha ha hah ha!!!!! You would totally have to watch Full House to appreciate this. And yeah, I am a complete nerd! *Someone* needs to quit watching Full House re-runs! :) :)

I love pink :)

Hi! :) I *finally* got some new pages done last night! :) And I am noticing a major trend....PINK! :) I can't help it, I absolutely love it. And ummm...apparently I have a new favorite shirt and necklace too, since I was wearing it in the last post as well! :) :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!! :) It's almost the weekend.
