Belinda & Josh's wedding. 

October 21st

It was a beautiful wedding and I was happy to be in the background while the rest of my family got to shine!  Charlie and I were just there to look cute :)  Carlyn was a train girl (holding the train), Annie was a flower girl, Darren was the ring bearer, and Rick took their Dad's place since he passed away years ago and walked her down the aisle and had a dance with her.

Annie and Josh's niece walking down the aisle as flower girls and forgetting to throw the petals.  So cute!

Dashing Darren in a tuxedo.  Too cute for words.  It was covered in chocolate by the end of the night.  Glad it wasn't a rental.  I especially love how he carried the ring pillow. :)

Rick's sweet sister Belinda walking down the aisle on her big brother's arm.  Doesn't he look good in a tux?  If you look closely, you can see Carlyn's head just behind Belinda.  I didn't get a picture of Belinda and Josh, because I wasn't smart enough to have my camera and these were the ones emailed to me.  She was beautiful and so was the wedding.  The kids were great and we had a great time.  We're so happy for them. 

This was the only decent picture of Carlyn.  She was holding the train behind Belinda's dress and looked adorable, but she didn't smile in any of the pictures. 

Charlie growing up

Daddy and Charlie bonding.  They have a cute relationship and he smiles everytime he hears or sees Rick.

He learned to roll over and was sucking his thumb.  AWWW.

Halloween

Since we call him Charlie Brown, we thought we'd dress him as the great pumpkin.  Just kidding.  A friend gave this to me and it fit perfectly.  He didn't love the hat, but looked adorable anyway.

Carlyn was a Barbie witch.

Darren the monkey boy.  Very fitting.

Tinkerbell Annie.

We had lots of fun at our ward carnival and the library party and watching Carlyn in the school parade for the first time. 

On Halloween Annie wanted to be Snow White, but wanted pink hair like Carlyn, so Carlyn called her Snow Pink.  It was funny.  Her jack-o-lantern got ruined.

Carlyn with her heart pumpkin. (Notice the pink hair?)

Annie's ER trip

Annie went to bed in this under the bed tote that Carlyn's jammies are normally in.  Too funny!  She woke up in the middle of the night screaming from pain on the 30th.  She had a stomach ache so bad she wouldn't stop crying.  We thought she was a little backed up but couldn't get her to go.  Rick finally took her to the ER and spent the night there with her.  They did determine that she had a UTI and that she was really constipated.  Poor kid.  Her infection ended up in her kidneys and the next week we ended up at the doctor's office 3 days for shots.  No fun.
