My baby's growing up so fast. =( I cried...
Tony laughed at me.

What Santa brought for Carlee!

A.... Brand NEW bike!!!

Yeah. She's lovin it.

Christmas Dress

Ignore the icing on her face {from icing cookies at the Santa event}... hehe she had a blast. Right before we left, she snuck a whole spoonful of icing into her mouth, that took the entire day to wear off!

such a good big sister!

This big sister stuff is really easy to Carlee. She's such a great big sister! First thing in the morning, while I was getting something to change the baby's diaper, Carlee started reading to her. Soo cute, I had to grab the camera. =)

Santa's Helpers Event

Today, Carlee went to a Santa's Helpers event on base. It was put on by the thrift store. She got to go shopping for Christmas presents for the family, with a helper that Santa provided. =) Then she got to take pictures with Santa. She was so excited!

Carlee makes her first pancake!

She did the mixing, the stirring, and the pouring! =) and of course the eating...

I love my baby sister!

In Carlee's Words {#3}

*Yesterday, after Tony had been home from work for a couple of hours, and Carlee had pretty much been ignoring him*

Daddy: Carlee you haven't even said a single word to me all day.

Carlee: (Looking at Daddy) Vitamin! (runs away)

????
LOL

Halloween Trick or Treating!

Everyone absolutely LOVED Carlee's costume. =D thanks Grandma!!! Carlee had a blast trick-or-treating. She only lasted 3 streets though, but even those 3 took about an hour to go down each side. After the third street, she said, "Okay, I'm ready to go home now." lol she was too cute, and very polite to all the candy givers. =)

Going through the loot:

Fire Fighter Carlee!!!!

Today we went to the Fire Station for a MOMS Club event! The kids got to sit in the fire truck, hear the siren, see a fireman in his fire suit, and got lots of goodies! The firemen were awesome, and Carlee LOVED it! She wasn't scared at all. She even told me, "Mommy, I'm not scared of the fireman anymore." How awesome is that?

PS: She matched her own outfit today! =)

Another Carlee Blog

I forgot to post that I've started a new blog for Carlee's homeschooling. I don't know how, but I ended up deleting the original one. So the new one is Little Discoveries. Enjoy!

In Carlee's Words...

(while stopped behind some cars waiting to turn into the other housing area)

"Mommy, why are we stopped?"

"Because the cars in front of us are stopped."

"Well, just drive over them like Lightening McQueen does. You know, like in the movie?"

=)

Carlee's First Jack-O-Lantern

Carlee and Daddy carved a pumpkin today. She decided she wanted a sad pumpkin heh. Sorry it's out of focus. =( Still had to share.

In Carlee's Words....

(Getting ready to brush her teeth)

"Mommy, can you go and close the door, so you won't say 'No,' when I use a lot?"

Talking about using too much toothpaste.

=)

Carlee's Big Girl Bed!!!

Carlee's big girl bed was delivered yesterday afternoon. She was so excited! We were wary as we wondered how a twin sized bunk bed could fit in a 5ft by 1ft box... but apparently it did. We only put the bottom bunk together for now. :) And of course being the little spoiled princess that she is.... she got the new comforter that she wanted.... sigh....
I am a little comforted by this picture... how she still looks so tiny in the bed. :)

{Another} Bus Ride

She also loves the bus... can you tell?
thought this one was too cute, since she insisted that her bear wear his seatbelt too, and look at the camera as well. hehe

{Another} Rainy Day

Carlee loves rainy days!

Then we made muffins later that day. :)

Cookie Decorating!

for the love of peanut butter!

This was from Aug. 25th. I completely forgot to post it! LOL Yeah... she got a hold of the peanut butter.... fun fun... =)

uhh.... WOW.

How Carlee walked out of the house yesterday to go to my friend's house:
LOL! :D

Carlee the Pizza Maker!

Yesterday, Carlee got to make pizza at a MOMS Club event! She had a blast! We made basil pesto and tomato pizza for us, and she loved it. She even ate a few bites of tomato until she realized that it was actually tomato on her pizza, then she picked them off. LOL

Rolling the Dough:

Spreading the Basil Pesto:

Enjoying the Results! :)

Carlee's cute (?) picture face

I was talking to my Mom yesterday, and while she was looking at Carlee's newest pictures, she noticed that Carlee's nose looked a little scrunched in one of them. "Yeah," I told her, "She thinks it's cute, or something." It's a challenge to get a good picture of her these days, because she's always giving this face for the camera:

July 4th:

August 9th:
(even better example, but she's blurry)

LOL.... what am I going to do with her? =)

Sorry

Sorry there haven't been any pictures lately... I'm taking them... just not posting. :) here's 2 for you. She's getting big! :) The first is from a birthday party on Aug. 9th. The second was taken while playing outside on her big girl scooter on Aug. 13th.

Ballerina!

Isn't she too cute?

Full Day

"Mommy take a picture of my Happy Face!" (6/2/08)

Today we had a full day:

On the bus this morning. She loves the bus ride to base. :)

Bowling:

Watching her (very) slow bowling ball inch its way to the pins and finally fall in the back:

Her favorite ride:

Playing racquetball with Daddy:
Weird how the ball ended up in this one:
She should sleep good tonight! LOL

Outside Fun

Today, after Daddy mowed the grass, he watered it... Leave it to Carlee to decide to play in the water fully clothed.... Ah to be a kid again... :)

(Her raincoat...)

Then, they decided to plant her flower seeds:
