Here Comes SaNtA ClAuSe.............

We finally took lil' Charlie Cash to see Santa tonight!  I don't mean to brag BUT, he did SO good!!! At first, he just sat there looking at us and would smile but then he NOTICED Santa!! He would smile, tug on his beard (thank goodness- the beard was real) and then he discovered his belt and he began to pull on it a little!  Unfortunately, they don't allow you to take pictures with your own camera so I wasn't able to capture all of the discoveries.   Charlie smiled like always for his picture but, there were a few that Santa didn't cooperate too well with..... so the above is a compromise on both Santa and Charlie's parts.......although I do think Santa looks a wee bit tired!!  He's probably been really busy getting his reindeer together & checking his lists!!!!  (I couldn't even get a  'HO HO HO' out of him)   :)  

In the Christmas Spirit!

We have a WiNNeR...........

.........And it is Troy!!!!!  Charlie said his first word Wednesday night and it was Da-Da!!!  It was the first time he's even made the 'd' sound!  He was eating his dinner and as Troy was feeding him and repeating da-da to him, Charlie just screamed "DA-DA"!  

You better Watch Out........

Santa must be somewhere close by because we found one of his reindeer wandering around our house!!! We even got some pictures to show you!

He had that 'deer in the head lights look' when we found him! :)

He sure is a happy reindeer! & check out those teeth he has!

Birthday Boy!

Today is a big day in our household!  Exactly four years ago today in Las Vegas, our first baby, Kode, was born.  To make the day even more special...Troy got to deliver him!  Kode has definitely been a blessing in our house although, he does want to go outside a lot (but deep down, he IS a dog)!  Kode is so loving and we couldn't ask for him to be any more gentle with Charlie.  Charlie will pull on Kode's tail, his ears, do whatever to him and Kode just sits and looks at him.  Wherever Charlie crawls off to....Kode will be right behind him.  The only thing Kode's not thrilled about is learning to share his toys with Charlie if Charlie wants them......Kode doesn't mind as long as it was HIS idea! :)  So, Kode has barked at Charlie but, Charlie has learned to bark yell right back.  It's really quite entertaining! :)

Kode- about 10 weeks old in his hoodie!

Look how small and cute! (about 10 weeks)

He has grown up to be such a handsome young man! :)

Our 2 boys (best of friends)
