Oh my goodness What to say about Chuck!
I have said several times that my life was totally changed when my third baby came. I can safely say that I haven't fully recovered from it. Mostly because of the fact that I only had two hands. I am however glad to report that things didn't get worse as the other two came along.
I was very excited to have another baby, but this pregnancy was much harder than the previous two. I was so sick. By the time I was about 3 months along I found myself checking into the hospital for dehydration, they kept my there for 4 days hooked up to an IV. And was everything ok at home you ask? Well, The first thing I discovered was that someone had cut his own hair, I found proof all over the bathroom and somehow Charlee didn't seem to notice the bald spots on Dewey's head. Thank heaven for clippers.
Charley-Anne Was born June 1, 1992 In the Tooele Hospital at 5:30p.m. She was my first natural birth so I was quite nervous and by the time I had past my due date by two weeks I was quite out of patience. My labor was only about 8 hours and when Charlee told me The baby was a girl I was so happy to finally had a little princess to dress up. We didn't know her name until we saw her. But Charley-Anne seemed to fit.
From the time she was a little girl she has been real good at demanding our attention. When she was real little if she wanted our attention, which was often she would knock on our leg of some other part of our body and say "knock, knock, woo,woo,.." It was cute.
Charley-Anne was a good baby, and a good easy going little girl. She loved to play dress up and get her hair done, but Don't let that fool ya, she could get as dirty as any boy.
I'm happy to report that Chuck and I share a love for girls camp.
A true Blonde!
She started off in this life with alot of beautiful honey blonde hair. It turned white as she got a little older then when she was 6 or 7 it started to darken up. Now days she likes to color her own hair, which about 3 months ago didn't turn out so well and it cost ME about $120 to get it fixed.
She went though a little bit of an gawky stage but the results are spectacular.
Charley-Anne is quite independent and I love the fact that she is so easy to get along with.
She is a hard worker. Up until a month ago she worked for her dad cleaning up the job site and she always did a great job. Her new job is out at the Miller Sports Park on the janitorial crew. I am real proud of her decision to sick with the job even when it looked like she might not be able to attend her seminary graduation. Cleaning up after drunk people could not be that fun but she come home from work with a smile on her face and a story to tell.
When she gets laughing you can't help but smile, and some times She gets in trouble because she doesn't know were to draw the line on her giggles.
I've said before that she reminds me of Erica, Like the sound of her voice her looks and her determination. But she also has another cousin that several times Charlee and I have looked at each other and both said ah Kristy Bledsoe. This is who she gets her giggle fits from. If Charley-Anne can Grow up to be just half the women that these two are I will be very proud indeed.
Charley-Anne, being on the younger end of both sides, has many good examples to lead the way. Thanks to all of you.
Charley has also been blessed to have good friends.
I always hoped that Charley-Anne And Jamee would be friends and they are. They fight like sisters and always have each others back.. I love seeing them together.
Annie I love you like crazy.
