Speed Demon...

Charlie April 19, 2012 (5)

This is one of the few non-fuzzy pictures my mom was able to snap of me yesterday. She kept asking me to stop and look at her, but I was too busy exploring.

Charlie April 19, 2012 (4)

Mom and Dad saw a lot of my backside as I ran around and stuck my head into things! Everything is so yummy!

Charlie April 19, 2012 (10)

Look! I'm a blur...

Charlie April 19, 2012 (3)

And again...

Charlie April 19, 2012 (12)

Not so bad here though!

Charlie April 19, 2012 (11)

I'm really getting fast! And...I am getting my signature "Boston" look!

Charlie April 19, 2012 (14)

Did I mention that I'm 8 pounds already?

Charlie April 19, 2012 (2)

So, my Grandpa taught me how to descend the back steps! Yes, I know the word "descend."

Charlie April 19, 2012 (1)

I thought about showing my Mom and Dad yesterday. I thought really hard!

Charlie April 19, 2012

But, I couldn't pull the trigger! Maybe next time!

Since I wouldn't hold still for more pics, my mom took pics of the flowers! They are tasty!

Hope you have a great weekend! I'm going back to see Dr. Kinney today for my 12 week shots! I know they're gonna be so proud of me!

Lovin' Color

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (2)

So, a week or so ago I made another batch of the ever-so-popular lavender chamomile soap! This is my TOP seller by far! It is easy to see why! One sniff and you're hooked! It's just so soft and gentle. Even the men like it!

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (3)

But, this time I wanted to jazz it up a bit with a new color technique I learned.

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (6)

And...I really like the result! It's more fun and eye catching!

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (9)

I just love the soft colors of blue, lavender, yellow and cream!

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (11)

I think it makes it look even yummier!

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (12)

I can't wait to see what the customers think!

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (15)

There are two options for customers now! We'll see how the reactions are and that will determine whether I keep up the colors or not.

Lavender Chamomile Soap April 2012 (16)

I personally like the colors. Using color in my soaps really allows me to be creative and different..What do you think?

I'm growing...

Charlie April 14, 2012 (29)

While my parents went biking I spent the day with Grandpa and B.B. at the farm! I played and played!

Charlie April 14, 2012 (23)

I'm up to 7 pounds now, can you believe it?

Charlie April 14, 2012 (22)

I sunbathed, played in the dirt, and napped! It was a busy day for me. Of course I took my fishy with me!

Charlie April 14, 2012 (20)

I wore myself out running and playing!

Charlie April 14, 2012 (15)

Charlie April 14, 2012 (14)

I discovered the hose and decided to bark and bite it while B.B. drug it around watering the plants.

Charlie April 14, 2012 (10)

When my parents got back from their ride they played with me and of course took out the camera. I just love that music that the camera plays. I come running when I hear it.

Charlie April 14, 2012 (9)

That fishy keeps trying to bite me!

Charlie April 14, 2012 (2)

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I got to go to work with my mom on Friday. We had a nice time! I got to meet a couple of her co-workers. They loved on me, of course!

Charlie April 14, 2012 (1)

I had a great weekend! Life is just great for me! I'm 12 weeks old today! I go see my doctor this week for more vaccines! I'm sure she's gonna be proud of how I'm doing!

Mountain Bike Monday - Can't wait to 'Go Ape'

Biking April 14, 2012 (Freedom Park)

Over the weekend while Grandpa and B.B. babysat Charlie, we went biking at Freedom Park. We were headed to New Quarter Park, but I directed us the wrong way, so we ended up at Freedom. It's ok, because they are both great parks.

Biking April 14, 2012 (1)

I broke out Spot (the singlespeed) for this ride. Both Freedom and New Quarter are great trails for a singlespeed.

Biking April 14, 2012 (3)

And, I just love my original Spot belt drive. It just fits me good. I felt good at the start, but seemed a little slower than usual. I guess that's to be expected since we haven't done much biking in about 3 weeks. Our baby has had us a little pre-occupied.

Biking April 14, 2012 (6)

The forest was beginning to show its green. The trails at this park flow really well. This was only our second time at the park, but it's definitely worth the trip if you want to check out some new, different riding.

Biking April 14, 2012 (9)

We did see our first snake of the year (on the trail that is). It was a baby. Dynamo ran him over by accident. I got off and planned to hike around him, but another rider came, ran him over, and then the baby slithered away before we could snap a pic.

Biking April 14, 2012 (10)

Navigating to the trails is pretty easy. There is a main access road (multi-use trail, much like a fireroad) that goes down the middle of the trails. You can jump in at various points on the different trails.

Biking April 14, 2012 (11)

We hopped on the end of Trail C to check out the new 'Go Ape' course. This was the perfect opportunity to check out what we'd heard so much about. We saw signs along the trail to watch out for 'Go Ape,' so naturally we headed towards the action. Earlier, when we arrived and got out of the car we heard screams and saw people zip lining across this big field. So cool!!

Biking April 14, 2012 (12)

These people were above the mountain bike trail. We talked to some of them. Here's a guy zip lining into a net!

Biking April 14, 2012 (14)

It really was like Tarzan!

Biking April 14, 2012 (16)

People of all ages were out enjoying the course.

Biking April 14, 2012 (17)

We just stood and watched for a while. We can't wait to check it out for ourselves!

Biking April 14, 2012 (18)

Anyone up for joining us?

Biking April 14, 2012 (20)

Come on! There was even what appeared to be a bachelorette party happening!

Biking April 14, 2012 (21)

I mean...you are strapped in!

Biking April 14, 2012 (24)

I'm sure we'll check it out sometime soon. They say it can take up to 3 hours to complete. No one was rushing. Everyone was just having fun with each other and enjoying the day. It was a lovely day!

Biking April 14, 2012 (8)

We headed back across the Ferry...

Biking April 14, 2012 (26)

Ferry

Such a lovely day! We enjoyed the chance to be back on the trail together. I had missed our rides!

Biking April 14, 2012 (28)

I'll leave you with this message!

Makes you really think huh?
Happy Monday!
