Charlotte's Bad Habit

     There once was a sweet little girl named Charlotte. Charlotte liked to go on rides with her parents, Craig and Jillian Shelton. One day, Charlotte's mother thought it would be fun to take pictures of Charlotte while she was in the back seat.

     Everything seemed normal, when Charlotte decided to try something new and unexpected.

     Jillian told Charlotte not to do that again, for it wasn't good for her little nose. Also, it is quite disgusting.

      But little Charlotte didn't listen, she thought it felt good!

     So she showed her mom what she had found, and it was gross! So Jillian said to Charlotte: "if you do that you might hurt your little nose! Please stop, little baby!"

     Little Charlotte did not like being told no. There is a good chance she'll keep her bad habit, but hopefully, with help, she will learn to stop! But we kind of doubt it!

VACATION!

     Craig and I finally got a vacation! Oma and Paw Paw came down from Arkansas and gave Charlotte a little spoiling! Okay, gave all of us some spoiling! OKay... Gave us all A LOT of spoiling! Craig's brother, Brad and his wife and their three girls came down, too, and we all had a lot of fun together. It all started Monday night at the Lazy River. That was so relaxing!

     Afterwards, we all went to the condo and caught up. It was a lot of fun to get Hailey and Charlotte together and watch them play - they didn't acknowledge each other much, but when they did it was really cute. Kayla and Callie have grown so much since the last time we saw them. Kayla is already almost as tall as I am and will be before Christmas! Callie has such a vocabulary now, she's such a little person!

     Oma and I went to Target Tuesday and Oma got Charlotte a new baby who came with a stroller. Lucky Charlotte! She loves that stroller and has gotten so good at running around the house with it.

     Wednesday we all went to Magic Kingdom where we had such a great time. The girls were all so good and so cooperative and the rides (albeit, kept stopping) were a lot of fun! There just wasn't enough time in one day to do everything.

     Charlotte's cousn Hailey turned one on vacation! We did have a small celebration for her with a cake and she thought that was a lot of fun. She's cheezin' really good in the next photo. (Nobody had a match so Kayla fashioned false fire out of a twist tie - that's love).

     Craig, Paw Paw and Uncle Brad all got to go deep sea fishing. I think they may have enjoyed that the most on this vacation (aside from spending time with their loving families, of course) and were so excited, and really tired, when they got back. They caught just more than one stringer all together of gray snapper.
