Johnny's ready to go!

SO. . . Johnny's picked up this new thing for hip-hop and rap music. He thinks he's a black man or something... He's got some awesome moves that I think are worthy of showing off. What do you think? Sorry the movie clip doesn't have sound.. but just imagine. "I'm ready to go... I'm ready to go right now...." I was lucky enough to get this short clilp. Isn't he cute?

Happy Halloween

We took Charli to get her pictures taken for Halloween. First, we tried pumpkins-- but she kept dragging them away. After several other attempts to get her to show off-- we had to settle for Elmo. That was the only thing that kept her occupied. So-- here we have Charli the Ladybug and Elmo. These were Charli's first "professional" pictures.

For Halloween, we will be taking Charli to the KOA in Garden City. I think she'll be all over the candy. Last night, we made "monster-cookies" and she liked decorating the cookies, but she LOVED eating all the candy toppings.

My latest makeover victim

Tiana wanted to have a "holy-monkey-freakin-cow" change-- so I decided to make her my (blonde) twin! Let me know what you think-- Everyone says that it makes her go from "crazy- wild- spontaneous- reckless-hey check me out- teenager to one-- still hot- sophisticated-- college girl. I think we cut 20 inches or so!! If you know anyone in the market for a wig-- she's selling!
Long hair is so over-rated-- this short hair thing is great!!

Good-bye beautiful horse mane!! She has 2 years to grow it out for Romeo ( if she lasts!)

Charli's Funny Faces

This is Charli's -- Hey look at me being silly-- I'm in my shopping cart... look.

I'm lucky enough to be publishing anything-- so just turn your head to look at this picture! One day when I don't have two houses and 26 other children to worry about-- I'll take the time to make my blog all fun and cutesy-- but for now-- this is what you get!! I figure Charli's plenty pretty to look at!

This is her -- hey-- yo-- what's up look.
This is her pointing to her teeth.
This is her - hey...I'm kind of shy look.
This is her most recent-- Hey check this out-- I can smash my face into the screen on the door!

So-- I should probably change my blog site- to "All about Charli" because that's totally what it is. But that's okay-- Johnny and I do revolve around our little sunshine most of the time anyways. And besides work-- we're pretty boring! Charli has the FUNNIEST faces! I don't know where she got these from-- but we think they're great! These are the only ones I could get on camera...

"Hunt-ing" in Yellowstone

I have been meaning to post these pictures since we went to Yellowstone back in August-- but I've had a billion things to do on my to-do list-- and now I only have a thousand. So, I thought it would be a great time to update it! Charli was so much fun-- as always! She loved seeing the sights and being with all of the Hunts. Her favorite thing to do was "hunt" for buffalo. Melinda and Sarah would pull her out of her car seat every few minutes to check out the buffalo-- and it even helped her learn her "b" phonogram! Now she says buh--- buh-- buh! (buffalo)
Poor Charli rarely gets to see her cousins-- but she totally bonded with them on our trip. I couldn't resist this picture of her and her cousin Sage!! They are natural posers!



Charli and her "buh-buh" and "buh"
The best part of our trip was when we got Charli her own little "buh-buh" She loves it! Just this morning she kissed it on it's nose about 50 times on the way to her baby-sitter's house. Her other "must-have" is her "buh"-- (blankie).

Walking Charli

Charli is walking all over the place! Take a look!

Flaming Gorge

Our family went to Flaming Gorge in July to go rafting on the Green River. It was lots of fun. Charli loved being outdoors and playing in the dirt, tasting the rocks, growling at the chipmunks, quacking at the ducks, etc. The best part was when she woke up her mom one morning by shoving a dead spider in her mouth followed by squeals of laughter after my shrill screams. Not only has she taken on her dad's good looks, but I'm afraid she's taking on his cunning personality too!

This morning we began our Independence Day celebration with an early drive from Bear Lake to West Bountiful for a yummy breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Hunt's house with all of Johnny's family (except Johnny-- who had to work. . . and Melinda-- who had a date).  All the cousins were color coordinated in their red, white, and blue-- so I thought it would make for a great photo op!  

Chocolatey Charli

July 2, 2008

Charli loves helping me cook in the kitchen.  Charli empties out the dishwasher, cabinets, vacuums the floor with her fingers and mouth and her favorite job of all-- cleaning out the chocolate cake batter!  A cheezy smile like this helps her get away with alot!
