A Blessed Day

We blessed Gwen on Sunday. It was a perfectly beautiful day. All of our family came to celebrate this little angel baby. We had brunch and enjoyed eachother's company. And she slept through it all.

Kindergarten Graduation

It's true, Marcus graduated from Kindergarten.

...School's Out for Summer!!!...

Mr. Pouty Pants

Turns out Charlie HATES bowling!!! Except for when he likes it. Are we surprised? Not at all.

Bowling

Here we are bowling with cousins in Las Vegas...

Las Vegas Baby

Trampoline Face

Marcus and his 12 year old friend Jordan thought it would be a good idea if Marcus got on Jordan's back and then Jordan would jump on a trampoline. And this is what happened:

More from Gwen

Oh girl...

She's Here!

Gwen Simone Castagnetto

born Sunday April 13th 4:24am

7lbs. 6 oz. 18.5" long

We're so excited to have her here!

P.S.

I'm still pregnant. I'm due tomorrow but that doesn't mean much.

Chapters

This Chapter is coming to a close and I'm feeling way too sentimental.

This Chapter has involved so many good times.

We've been so many places and seen so many things.

My 2 boys have brought so much love, excitement and fun.

But it is time to move on. There is no turning back now.

Now, now we look forward to the great times ahead with a little sister in-tow.

Easter

WOW!

Look what happened... I posted again.

So much has happened in the last 2 1/2 months.

Here's what's been going down-

*Brent turned 30.

*Marcus lost 2 teeth.

*We've played a lot of Rock Band (is it bad that a 5 year old knows Nirvana and Blink 182 songs? You ask yourself that.)

*Charlie went to Sunbeams twice, all on his own!

*I've counted down the weeks until our new arrival (only 2 weeks and 4 days left.)

*We flooded our crawl space.

*Brent has thoroughly enjoyed cleaning out our garage time and time again!

*Spring Cleaning.

* I quit my bow-making job and now I feel free as a bird.

*Lots of playing outside- in the snow and now in the sunshine.

*Brent and I spent the night in SLC enjoying some RandR.

And too many more things to mention.

Now I must start my list of "to dos" before this baby comes and rocks our world.

p.s. I LOVE spring and I can't get enough of my tulips!

"Almost Yet For a Fillion Minutes!"

The title of today's blog says it all! If you don't understand it then you need to learn "Charlie Talk".

First- "Almost yet" is "almost" and "not yet" put together. Like if you were to say "Charlie, are you ready to go to the store?" He would reply "Almost yet!" Or "Charlie, should we brush your teeth?" "Almost yet!" he would say. You should try using it sometime. It's kinda fun.

Second- "For a fillion minutes!" is an easy one to figure out. And I hear it probably a fillion times a day from my Charlie the barely 3 year old! So if you're taking too long to do anything at all you're probably taking a fillion minutes and Charlie doesn't have time for that!

The kid has got major SASS! And if you'd like a taste of it, you're more than welcome to spend a day with him.

Best Pictures from 2007

When browsing through pictures from 2007 I found some that just might be the very best! These pics are dating back from summer '07. These young fella's are "motorcycle guys". Since they don't have a real motorcycle, they just pretend. At least Charlie has real motorcycle pants on (and maybe "motorcycle guys" wear ski goggles---who knows.)

it almost looks like he's actually on a bike!
