finally updating.....A whole boatload of pictures

I really love to blog when I have a story or something I want to say.  Today is not one of those days, but I do have a lot of pictures to put up.  I haven't updated in over a month because...

this is how I feel about my life right now (I found this picture on my cell phone one morning.  Apparently, Rich decided to document my life as a narcoleptic...beautiful!   Right?!)

These really don't go in order.

Charlotte sampling the lovely strawberries that Rich is growing in our garden. 

I made banner for "goodbye scraps" AKA goodbye party for a bunch of lovely ladies who were moving away from Richmond.  I was trying to put the word luck on a banner...because pintrest says that is cute.  I pasted it one there 3 times backwards, before I finally got it.  Rich was dying after the second time and took the picture and after the 3rd I really just stared at it not being able to figure it out. 

Finally I got it right!

I got to introduce Charlotte to the city of "You've Got Mail" (AKA NYC, the big apple or New York City)

We went with the Delmege's.  Mary and I were roommates in college and in New York we were sisters...or at least that is what numerous people asked us.  Charlotte and Corinne were patting each other's faces and sharing baby food the whole time. 

When we get the "World's Worst Parents Award" it will have the picture on the plaque.  This is Charlotte's Times Square experience.   People were definitely glaring at me and I felt super guilty about this.

Richard's Booty

Rich said he wanted to buy Charlotte a toy from FAO Schwartz, but when we walked in and saw the design-your-own-Muppet section he decided  he wanted to get one "for Charlotte."

 Naked with shoes is always stylish.

 Our cute little neighbor wrote "pretty girl" on the wall.  I pretended it was in honor of me...it was probably for charlotte.  Look how pretty she is!  HAHA..I am such a mom.

 Charlotte's new primary mode of transportation!  She's  a walker.

Charlotte is looking sassy with her suit falling off.

 Charlotte and I got to meet my new nephew Carter.  I was amazed at how much I love this kid.  He is my first nephew and I am so happy for my sister and brother in law.

 I did Ragnar again and this time it was with my family!  It was awesome.

 We got fake tatoos...check out the placement of my 14 year-old brother's tat.

 My first leg was a beautiful run, so I pulled a "Yes Man" run and took pics of my self while running. On my last leg I hurt my foot a little, but it was still a blast.  I was so proud of my family for running this.  I LOVED cheering them on and laughing until my sides hurt.
My favorite quote:
Garrett: I got passed by this gazelle on the uphill
Jordan: Did she have long blond hair?
Garrett: No, he was wearing a tank top.

Our team name was Holy Schmidt.  Each team decorates their vans and there are some funny vans out there.  We thought we were so hilarious...we might have gone too far.

Van 2 of team Holy Schmidt.  We ran for Lexe.

Happy Father's Day!!
