Mother's Day

Best day.  In the morning Charley said "Let's make a cake - let's EAT a cake!"  She remembered last month, for my birthday, she and Dada did that, so she assumed it was THE thing to do...  I had some brownie mix, so we made a chocolate cake!

Why wait?

Salmonella, anyone?

Yeah, this outfit had to go in the laundry!

Sweet baby girl

 After her nap, we had to taste our masterpiece!  But, Charley insisted we needed a candle and to sing Happy Birthday first!

Before going to sleep that night, she called out to me from the bedroom "Happy Mother's Day!"  She made it the best day ever!!!

Riding on Dada

I spent about 15 minutes building her a car racetrack...  she spent about 15 seconds playing with it

It was actually the covering over a new smoke detector - Rod thought it would make a good prop  :)

Idaho

We spent a weekend in Twin Falls with our friends Michael and Melody.  Charley kept saying "We're going to Idaho!"  She remembered the water fall from last time.
