Favorite Photos of June 2012

I was surprised how difficult it was for me to find twelve photos from June 2012 that I absolutely adored.  Maybe it was because Charlotte and I were in our "routine" without Justin or that I was back at work and she was in school most of the week.  But there is some comfort knowing that June, for the most part, was pretty boring and "normal."

So here they are, the favorite photos of June 2012 completely unedited.

We are living at my parent's house during our little 6 month stopover in San Diego. This is my mom frying up some fish outside.  My mom is the best cook ever and Charlotte and I both LOVE eating everything she makes!

My little brother was living at home as well.  (He has since moved out.)  But it was so nice having him around to play with Charlotte and give me a break every once in awhile.  Little brothers are the best!

It seems like every Navy wife I know has a husband on deployment.  So here is Charlotte with J and L whose dad was also on deployment at the time.  Charlotte absolutely loves playing with those two!

Here is a shot of all three kids in front of the San Diego Zoo.

Charlotte with her cousins at Chuck-e-Cheese.  That place is insane!
 

I love this photo of Charlotte relaxing in the play structure outside of the San Diego Children's Museum with my sister in the background.  My sister is amazing.  I think I would go crazy without her.  She makes life a lot less lonely with Justin gone.

Charlotte sleeping in her big girl bed.  With the whole family sleeping in one room right now (since everything is on it's way to Hawaii as we speak), I'm really starting to miss that big girl bed.  :)

Charlotte riding her tricycle after school.  I love this photo.  I love this little girl.  

Charlotte posing with a father's day card I made for Justin's dad. We met up with him, Debra, and Uncle Adam later that night for dinner at C Level.  Lobster mac 'n cheese.  Mmmmm...

At the end of the month, Charlotte and I flew out to Virginia to spend a week with Justin. We had a red eye and Charlotte only slept about 4 hours total.  But that didn't stop her from soaking every single moment with Justin.  Here they are reading  in bed together.

Charlotte is all smiles while Justin puts on her lotion.  And she HATES putting on lotion.

And she is still giggling while Justin combs her hair.  

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Favorite Photos of May 2012

I can't believe that it already November and I haven't updated my Favorite Photo posts since April!  So I will try to catch up with these over the next couple of weeks.  So, without further ado, here are my twelve favorite photos from May 2012!

Look at that face and that outfit?!  Just wait until she gives me that same look at 16.  :)

Charlotte and Alex giving each other goodbye hugs on her last day of school. 

Charlotte and Justin hanging out behind Bowmen's Wharf in Newport, RI during one of our last weekends on the east coast. 

Proud naval officers and their little girls.

This photo just makes me smile.  The Smith men and Charlotte getting ready for our New England feast of crabs and lobsters during our last night in Rhode Island. 

Charlotte and Pappy dancing the night away at Cousin Colleen's wedding just outside of St. Louis., MO.

 

Smith and Sperry.

Charlotte with her rolling backpack on our very last flight before finally getting back to San Diego.

Charlotte anxiously watching Justin get ready to soak cousin Dan.

Charlotte hanging out on Pappy's boat in Coronado.

At the airport before Justin flew to Virginia for nine weeks of training.

Charlotte at Cousin Thai's graduation.  This was one of our first "events" without Daddy. This would be the first of many.

It's crazy to be posting these photos showing our move from Rhode Island to California just weeks before we prepare to move one more time to Hawaii.  Fingers crossed that I can catch up with these posts very soon before the end of November!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Favorite Photos of April 2012

I think I'm catching up with all these blog posts because my paper scrapbooking supplies are boxed up in a storage locker somewhere.  I can't imagine that I can keep this up for too long.  Enjoy it while you can.  :)

Here are my favorite photos from April 2012.  You can find my favorite photos from March, February and January 2012 by clicking on the hyperlinks.

Cuddling on the coach while Charlotte is dressed up in her princess outfit.

Charlotte sees eggs and she is on a mission!

Group photo with toddlers and babies.  Yeah, not so easy.  :)

On the carousel at Roger Williams Park in Providence, RI.

Sitting on the rocks in Roger Williams Park.

  

Feeding the aggressive goats at Simmons Farm in Middletown, RI.

Bath time Picasso.

Looking at the beach from Marconi Station in Cape Cod, MA.

Charlotte looks on as Justin tries to be silly at Doane Rock in Cape Cod, MA.

Sharing secrets in the New Bedford Whaling Museum.

Eating yummy Italian pastries in the North End, Boston, MA.

Monkey pants or monkey hat?

Favorite Photos of March 2012

Wohoo!  I'm finally caught up!  Here are my favorite photos from March 2012.  You can see my February and January favorites here and here.

Justin and Charlotte making a race car at the monthly Home Depot Kid's Workshop.  I'm not sure if Justin is tired or frustrated but I find this photo hilarious.  :)

We have had a difficult time potty training.  Charlotte goes through moments of being on board with the whole idea and other moments of complete and utter rejection.  Here she is trying the potty (once again) while reading her book.

Unraveled toilet paper.  Busy bee indeed.

We drove up to Boston to visit one of my dearest friends and her adorable baby boy.  So great catching up! 

Pushing puppy around.

This might be my all time favorite photo.  Justin inadvertently built Charlotte a fort while pulling off her sheets for the wash. She was SO EXCITED!

At the park.  On the swing.  Content.

Trying on her hat first thing in the morning with Daddy.

Aw, my little lounger.  She's probably watching Dora.  :)

Bubbles!!

Justin was pretending to take photos of Charlotte with a block and here she is posing with Puppy and George.  

Coloring is very serious business, especially when you are wearing bunny ears.  This is at the MWR Easter Festival on base.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
