Look Who's ONE!

2010-08-11T08:11:00.000-07:00

That's right! Our sweet baby girl is ONE! I can't believe how fast this year has gone! She is such a sweet and fun girl. We have been so blessed to have her in our lives! These are a few pictures I took the morning of her birthday. I had actually taken her to a studio 2 weeks before her birthday to get her 1 year pictures and her eating her birthday cake. She had this super cute tutu and rug with this cute bow, balloons and cake. I hadn't ever seen the proofs a week later, so I began calling and calling and calling. Finally they told me that they had lost all of her pictures. I think I cried for an hour. So, I was so thankful when I saw these pictures and how cute she was! I am still sad I won't ever get to see them, but these sure make it better.

Sweet Callie! These pictures are so representative of who you are right now. You are such a sweet and beautiful baby girl. You have changed so much over this past year. You are now clapping, laughing, crawling, standing, drinking milk from a big girl cup, giving and blowing kisses, you have two bottom teeth and 4 top teeth just peeping through. One of your daddy's and my favorite things to watch is you playing with your awesome Big Brother. Ya'll love each other so much and he can make you laugh more than anyone else. I am so glad God gave yall a special bond and pray it continues to grow over the years. You have the cutest little feet and the most precious cheesy grin. Over this past year you have been a total mamas baby and I have loved every minute of it. But, over the past two weeks you have started preferring your awesome daddy! It melts my heart! Callie, we love you more than you could possible know and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for the rest of your wonderful life. Happy birthday my baby!

Carson's Birthday Party!

2010-06-28T09:27:00.000-07:00

This post is a little late, but I am finally posting pictures from Carson's 3rd Birthday party. It is so hard to believe that he is already 3! This year Carson wanted a sports ball birthday party. Not a particular one, he wanted all the sports represented. So that is what we did. What better place to have a sports party than in the gym! Carson love it! He just ran around with his friends and played the whole time. We had all different kinds of inflatable sports balls there for the kids to play with and they also got to take one home. Everyone had a blast. Such fun memories!

Carson loved his balloons! In fact, we still have the huge baseball one and he plays with it everyday!

Everyone singing Happy Birthday to him.

Our Sweet Birthday Boy!

One of my FAVORITE pictures! He is such a cutie pie! Love this sports guy!

Yummy! Green and Blue icing made for sum cute faces.

Had to put this one in of Callie with Steve (or Stevo as Carson says). Steve is my sister's boyfriend, but also Callie's boyfriend. I guess she bonded with him on our beach trip and she now is in love with him. It is so cute!

Present Time!

One of his favorites was the Star Wars transformer spaceship Davis and London got him. Although, I think Davis could have given him a stick and he would have loved it. He thinks Davis is so cool! He loves the older boys and their toys! So cute!

This was another one of his favorites! His best friend Brynlee got him this cute shirt (which he immediately had to put on over his other shirt) and the baseball helmet with his name and a baseball on it. He is still wearing it everywhere. He even sleeps in it. He has already rubbed most of the letters off.

Had to add this one of Callie and me. We seem to never get our picture taken together. Such a cutie!

Everyone had fun playing in the gym, including the guys!

Coach (my Dad)

Love this picture because they are all looking! Ryleigh, Carson and Maddie ready to have fun!

We'll it's official....

2010-06-18T13:19:00.000-07:00

Callie is crawling!!!! Callie is such a layed back sweet girl, so she was in no hurry to get up and start crawling. She took her sweet time, but she finally decided she would do it. She took a few crawls here and there this past weekend, but on Wednesday, she finally started crawling for good. She is starting to find her way to her favorite objects. Our house has yet again changed forever. We are now having to set her boundaries and teach her the meaning of "eyes only". Oh, how I have forgotten those words. Let the fun begin!!! Here is a video of her first crawls!

It's been awhile!

2010-06-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Well, as usual life has been crazy around here. I haven't posted in forever even though I have some wonderful things to post about. Carson just turned 3! He had a wonderful "sports" party! He also started T-ball and had is first game last weekend. So cute! We took our annual family beach vacation and had a blast! Callie is now 10 months old and we are already preparing for her very first birthday! I can't wait to catch you all up with pictures, so keep checking back to see them. Below are some random pictures I wanted to share in the meantime. Also at the bottom are some pretty funny ones of Carson. :)

As usual, Carson does some pretty funny and cute things at bedtime. The other night, Phil went into check on Carson before we went to bed. This is what he found.

Carson had gotten his brand new bag of pullups out and had spread them all over his floor in a circle and then managed to put on lots of pullups. When we got him up to take them all off he had put NINE of them on perfectly. We couldn't stop laughing. The next morning, when he woke up, he said, "Hey mommy, did you know that there are two different kinds of pullups? There are buzz ones and woody ones. I put on all the woody's!". I love him at this age!

New Shoes

2010-04-15T14:17:00.000-07:00

We have decided to sign Carson up for T-ball this year. We debated it for awhile because he is going through a very disobedient stage, but we decided to go ahead and see how it goes. Carson has been wanting a pair of baseball shoes for a long time. He wants a pair just like his daddy (I love that about him). So, we decided we would take him to get a pair of his very own baseball shoes. He was so excited to go get them. Once he picked them out, he had to put them right on his feet and I can honestly say they didn't come off for a whole day. Well actually I took them off once he was asleep and he woke up, so I told him he could sleep with him. I love how passionate he is about things! I must warn you about the pictures below, Carson is in his underwear. He insists on only wearing underwear when he is home. Sorry! :)

The SHOES!

Running with them. "Mommy look, they make me run super fast!"

Watching T.V. with his shoes!

He has slept with his shoes for every nap and bedtime since we got them. I just love this Boy!!!

Our Easter Bunnies

2010-04-09T20:13:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pictures of our two little Easter bunnies! We had a great day celebrating our Saviors victory, hunting eggs and spending time with family.

Callie with Coach and Nana. P.S. Thank you to all of you who are praying for my dad. He is currently taking his chemo treatments and we are praying his cancer will go into remission. Once it is in remission he will be able to begin his experimental cancer treatment. We are excited about the possibilities it will hold. Please continue to pray for him.

We went to my grandmothers house for lunch. Every time Carson goes over to her house, he always wants to climb in her tree. She has an awesome climbing tree in her front yard.

My mom (Nana) with Carson & Callie.

My sweet boy! Can't believe he will soon be 3!

Here is a picture of Callie's cheesy smile. She has started smiling like this now that she has two bottom teeth. I think it feels good on her gums. So cute!

Our two sweet Easter Bunnies!!! What joy they bring to our hearts! Thank you Lord for these blessings.

What is that on his head?

2010-03-19T12:35:00.001-07:00

The other day, I walked in to check on Carson. He had been so quite so I thought he was asleep. When I peeked around the door, I saw him siting in his bed, with everything piled up underneath him, reading books and what looked like a helmet on his head. I walked in a little closer to see what helmet he had gotten out and much to my surprise he had put some underwear on his head. I then began to laugh out loud (and of course grab the camera). What a creative little boy! Oh, and by the way they weren't the underwear he was wearing.

Look A-Likes!

2010-03-11T13:03:00.000-08:00

Well, everyday I hear how much Callie looks like Carson. I always say "I don't see him in her", but today I was putting some pictures up on my desktop background. When the picture popped up later that day on my computer I was taken back at how much she looks like Carson. Infact I thought it was Carson. Thought I would share and see what you think.

P.S. pardon the buggies coming out of Callie's nose. We had a runny nose that day. Oh, and if you couldn't tell, Carson was the top picture and Callie has the tractor. Love those two babies!

Bugs, Bows & Beaters

2010-03-10T09:32:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks. Time is flying by so fast these days. We are trying to enjoy every moment! We have had many days filled with bugs, beaters & bows.

Here is our little lady "BUG". She got this cute towel from Brynlee and she loves it! She gets so excited when she sees herself in the mirror.

As always there are lots of BOWS being worn in our house! I especially love this one! I bought this cute bow before Callie was born and so excited for her to wear it. Little did I remember how small their heads are when they are born. Don't get me wrong, I love big bows, but this one is huge. I finally put her in it the other day and had to take some pictures. She wears it well!

I have been baking a lot lately for different things, so Carson has benefited from all the baking. He loves licking every last batter off the BEATER! My friend, Lindsey posted her daughter enjoying a beater the other day. I agree with her the joy it brings a mom to see your children enjoy the simple things in life. Nothing is more exciting to him than licking a beater.

Welcome Baby Lawson

2010-02-24T13:18:00.000-08:00

My sweet friend Amanda had her baby yesterday. Lawson wasn't suppose to make his arrival until his scheduled c-section on March 5th. She went into the doctor yesterday morning and he said you are having him today. I was so excited when I got the call. Yesterday was a special day already because it was Amanda's birthday. What a great birthday gift! Here are a few pictures I got to take through the window yesterday just 30 minutes after he was born. They are all doing great! Big Sister Brynlee was so excited! There will be more and better pictures to come soon!

Brian was showing Lawson to Brynlee for the first time! What a sweet memory!

I just love how they curl up all in a ball!

2010-02-22T16:08:00.000-08:00

Many of you know Brynlee, Carson best friend. It is hard to believe that we celebrated her 3rd birthday a few weeks ago. Carson got to go to her Hello Kitty birthday party at the Gymnastics Sports Center. He had a blast! It is the perfect place for kiddos to run and play. He loved swinging into the pit most of all. Here are a few pictures of my little gymnast.

This was his favorite thing. I think he swung and played in the pit for 30 minutes.

Ready to jump in!

What a sweet face!

Carson and the Birthday Girl! Aren't they too cute!

Sweet Brynlee on the bars!

Not the best picture, but it was the only one I got of Carson and Maddy. Maddy is my best friend, Lindy's little girl. They were born just one month apart but shared the same due dates. Such a fun memory!

My sweet boy and me!

Had to include this picture and the story that surrounds it. The candles were being lit and I had purposefully placed Carson in the seat farthest from the cake. He is at that age where he thinks everything is for him, so I didn't want him messing with the cake. I snapped this picture right when they started sing Happy Birthday. The next think I knew Carson was climbing on the table, crawled over to the cake, and blew out Brynlee's birthday candles. I was so embarrassed. The whole thing happened so fast! So they re-lit the candles and sang again and I made sure Carson didn't blow them out. But the cute thing was that Brynlee didn't want to blow them out. So, I guess Carson and Brynlee had already talked about it and he was just taking good care of her! :) What a fun day!

6 Months Old

2010-02-20T13:44:00.000-08:00

Oh sweet Callie! We can't believe that you are already half a year old. Seems like just yesterday we were anticipating your arrival and wondering if we could love another person as much as we love your sweet brother. Well, we quickly learned that our heart just doubled in size. We can't image our lives without you and have almost forgotten what our life was like before you arrived. You are the best baby! You have the sweetest little personality and are such a laid back baby. We have gotten a glimpse of your little personality over the last few months and have enjoyed learning all about you. Here are 6 of your favorite things that will summarize your past 6 months of life.

1- You LoVE to sleep on your back and pull the covers completely over your face to sleep! This scared your daddy and I, but we have been working on you napping on your belly, all though you prefer and back and blanket.

2- You also love your CAr-CaR!!! I think he provides you with endless entertainment and showers you with love and kisses each day. Your new favorite thing is playing with him. He will run around in front of you and you will give the best belly laugh each time. He also loves your new little game y'all play! Always remember how much he loves and adores you!

3- You are a great singer! Callie you will sing and talk yourself to sleep almost every time. One of the nursery workers told us you should join the choir because you sing so pretty. Your daddy and I will just lay and listen to you in the monitor at night when we put you to bed. I think it is your way of soothing yourself. We love it!

4- You also love your bath time. I must say we don't do this everyday, but when we do you just sit and are mesmerized by the whole thing. You haven't really gotten into the whole splashing thing yet, but I know you will soon love that too. Just recently you have enjoyed grabbing Carson's toys and chewing on them. Every time we go to get you out of the bath you throw the cutest little fit. We just laugh because it is one of the very few times you ever get upset. You also took your very first bath with Carson and love it. I know y'all will have many more fun bath adventures together in the future.

5- Chewing is another of your favorite activities. I can remember reading books to Carson and he would be fascinated with the pictures and colors. You on the other hand just want to get your hands on it and put them in your mouth. One of your favorite things to chew on is your Sophie, she is a teething giraffe. You will play with her forever! You also love the wipe container. I know there are some little teeth in there that want to come out. Hopefully you will get your first teeth soon and we can just read the books instead of chew on them. :) But for now we will just slobber on them! Love this picture below! It shows your drool off very well.

6- Well, I promise I am not writing this last one because it has to do with me. You love your mommy! This makes my heart swell because your brother loved me, but was in love with Daddy. And you, little miss, love your daddy but are in love with your mommy. I can be anywhere in the room and your little eyes will be watching me. When I walk into a room and you spot me you just smile the best smile ever. I have enjoyed having you be a Mommy's baby! I hope it stays that way, even though I hear those daddy's have a way of steeling their daughter's hearts. For now I will just bask in the joy of having a Mommy's girl!

Callie we love you and thank the Lord each day for sending you to us! We can't wait to see what the next 6 months brings! We look forward to a life time of having you as our daughter! Thank you for being such a wonderful gift to us!

A Look Back

2010-02-19T09:36:00.000-08:00

A look back at our sweet baby girl exactly 6 months ago! Callie you have filled our lives with such joy and our hearts with so much love. We love you and are so glad God gave you to us!

We had a sweet friend come over when Callie was just 6 days old and take pictures of us. Here are some that I have been meaning to post for a very long time. Can't believe she was ever this small.

She also got some great pictures of Big Brother Carson! He has also changed so much since these pictures were taken. I wish I could freeze time and have my children be babies forever. Don't get me wrong, I love every stage, but know they will be all grown up way TOO soon!

Our Two Valentines

2010-02-17T10:34:00.000-08:00

Thank you Lord for our two special Valentines! May Your love always fall on us!

Here are so pictures of our two Valentines! What a special Valentine's Day! The love between Carson and Callie warms our hearts.

Carson LoVEs to kiSS his sister! He can't get enough of her. Here are a few pictures that are an example of his love.

First Kiss

2010-02-16T16:04:00.000-08:00

Yep, that's right! Callie has had her first kiss, and yes it was to her penguin buddy. She loves her penguin and especially loves to attach him with kisses. Too cute to pass up!

Sweet Faces

2010-02-16T08:55:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of the sweet and cute faces I get to see and kiss everyday!

Here are a few of the many different faces Carson expresses on a daily basis. Love that boy!

Sweet baby girl! I kiss and squeeze these cheeks all day long!

Love this picture. I love those little strands of baby hair that hang down on her face.

Not So Sure About This Mom!?!

2010-02-14T20:11:00.000-08:00

Callie had her first taste of food a couple of weeks ago. We were all so excited (especially Carson) about feeding her her first cereal! But as you will see in the pictures, she wasn't so excited about it. Her face was priceless. I think we have a picky eater on our hands. Carson ate anything and everything you fed him. Callie is slow to take new foods. She has taken to rice cereal and most fruits now, but doesn't really like the veggies yet. We will continue to work on them.

Will you be my Valentine?

2010-02-13T20:33:00.001-08:00

Fun in the snow!

2010-02-12T21:10:00.000-08:00

No one could have been more excited to wake up and see snow than Carson! He absolutely loves the snow and was so excited to go out and play in it on Thursday. He loves to throw himself in the snow and roll all around. But his favorite part of all is eating the snow, which you will see in the pictures! We built a snowman and made snow ice cream (thanks to my ice cream making hubby!). It was so fun. So thankful for the snow this week and the sweet memories I will always have.

Eating the Snow for the first time. Don't worry, I he didn't eat any of the leaves or sticks (at least not that I know of).

My very own snowman! I was so proud of him. Carson kept wanting to take the stick arms off and play swords with them. Boys!

Sweet Snowman kisses.

Callie slept through our first snow adventure, so we had to get her picture before the sun went down. I don't think she even had a clue there was snow on the ground. Who wants to play with the snow when you have a tag on your blanket to play with?

Love these boys!

Such a sweet face!

Fun With My Girl

2010-01-28T11:40:00.000-08:00

Callie and I love our little times together when Carson is at school. Today it was raining and I decided to just stay home, so what better to do than take pictures of Callie. These are a few that I took of her. What a sweet fun girl! Can't believe she is about to be 6 months old.

It was so much fun to take these pictures. I have been reading up and playing around with our new camera. I have a secret desire to be a photographer. Below is a picture I took of my new sweet niece Ellie. I got to go see her and spend sometime with her on Tuesday. She is so beautiful and precious!

This and That

2010-01-06T11:34:00.000-08:00

Here are some "this and that" pictures. I have so many to post from the past few months of no blogging. So hopefully they will be up soon. Just a little catch up on us. Carson is growing up so fast and so hard to believe that he will soon be 3. He is such a sweet and energetic boy! Callie is 5 months old and changing everyday. She is the perfect baby and loves learning from her big brother. Carson in the past 3 months has had 2 ruptured ear drums and several double ear infections that wont go away. This is so new to us since he had only had one ear infection previously. So, on Thursday he had tubes put in his ears. The surgery went great! Hopefully this will make his little ears feel all better. The hard part is going to be keeping him from jumping in the pool and off the diving board this summer. Thursday was a BiG day for us. Besides his surgery, my sister had her baby. Baby Ellie was 6 lb. 11 oz. and is so beautiful. Below are some pictures of our new sweet niece, Ellie Nichole!!!! Well, that is what has been going on in our busy life. Hope you enjoy the pictures of our sweet babies!

Callie and Ellie with their Aunt Mal-ney (Malory). They are going to be great playmates.

Look at these cheeks!

Callie found her feet a few weeks ago and now LOvEs them! She always sucks on her right foot. If she has a sock on she will pull it off and suck on her toes. So cute!

Uh, Oh! You caught me mom!

Carson's favorite movie right now is Lion King. Every time he watches it he has to put on his knee pads so the wildebeests don't get him. So cute. He has such an imagination these days. Oh, and he also doesn't go anywhere without is trusty tape measure (on his underwear)! :)

My sweet boy! I just love those cheeks.

Carson and Callie took their first bath together last week. It is hard to say who enjoyed it more. Callie loves watching Carson and finds him so entertaining! Carson loves to play with Callie. He will just sit and laugh at her for no reason. It is so adorable watching them interact. I know it will only get more fun!

Sweet Baby Face!

Dear mommy's friends

2009-12-30T07:42:00.000-08:00

Dear Mommy's Friends,

This is Carson and Callie. We wanted you all to know that we have keep our mommy very busy the past few months. We will do our best to be good and give her time to update her blog. She has sooooo many really cute pictures of us to share. So, look for a post really soon!

Love,

Car-Car and Callie

P.S. We love each other so much!!!!

Not about the Kiddos

2009-11-05T08:26:00.000-08:00

Well this post is officially the first post that isn't about my kiddos. Many of you know that my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer right before Carson was born. He then went into remission, but the cancer came back right before Callie was born. He had another PET scan last week and Monday got the results back. He has 5 more new tumors. This is not what we were wanting to hear. They are planning on starting a new treatment in January along with a new research study. They will be taking a biopsy of one of the tumors and then creating a vaccine that they hope will keep his cancer from continuing to develop. The study doesn't even start till January. So please pray that the cancer will not grow anymore between now and January and that the two new treatments will kill the cancer and keep it out of his body. Thank you for keeping him and his upcoming treatment in your prayers. Love you all!

Happy Halloween

2009-10-29T13:32:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween from our TWO to YOU!!!

Teepee Village

2009-10-21T09:24:00.000-07:00

Each year a college her in town has "Tepee Village". They have different groups that set up teepee's and you can go around and look at them. Carson loves to go! I am not sure if he is more into the teepee's or the big open area to run around. Here are some pics from our visit.

Carson sitting inside one of the tepee's.

Carson and his buddy "Brynlee". They loved going inside the tepee and popping back out!

I think Callie enjoyed her first trip to Tepee Village also. She spent her time napping.
We were so excited that my best friend Amy and her sweet daughter met us at Tepee Village. Brinley (yep, Carson has two buddies Brynlee & Brinley) looked so cute in her little feather head dress. She is such a happy baby!

Chief "Sitting Feather"!

Taking a break and enjoying a sucker.

Carson found this dirt pile and enjoyed it as much as the tepees. Got to love those boys!

Stopped on campus and snapped a cute "fall" picture.

First Pedi

2009-10-16T13:09:00.000-07:00

Callie got her fist little pedicure today! I just couldn't resist painting her little toes. I must say that it was more of a challenge than I thought it would be. They are so small and she jerks her feet around all the time. They turned out so cute though! What girl fun. I see many more in our future together! :)

My Big Scary....

2009-10-13T13:33:00.000-07:00

Ghost! That is the phrase for today. Carson and Brynlee got together this morning and decorated pumpkins. Brynlee made a cat and Carson made a "Big Scary Ghost"!. They had a great time and they turned out so cute too! This is our new tradition with the two of them.

The finished product. They turned out so cute. He decorated it without may directing him, which always turns out so cute!!! Oh, and yes those are big boy underwear Carson is in. He has been in them since Saturday. We are so proud of him. We have only had a few accidents and are still working on the poopy thing. Way to go Carson!

That is one cool cat and one scary ghost!

Callie had to get in on a little of the action! What cute kiddos!

This is a picture of them last year decorating their pumpkins. They have grown up so much in this past year! What cute little pumpkins!

Good morning to you!

2009-10-09T12:06:00.000-07:00

We have been hanging around the house more lately due to the flu that has been going around. So, we have been enjoying our mornings at home. Thought I would share a few of our "good morning to you" pictures. I love these two kiddos so much! They are so much fun together!

Carson loves to sing to Callie. He was singing a new song he just learned about the months to her. So cute! I hope she likes him half as much as he likes her!

This is how you will find us first thing in the mornings. Callie usually has just finished eating and Carson is watching Handy Manny while taking his breathing treatment. Do miss the football tucked under his arm and the fleece hat he has on. He won't sleep without them right now. Being two must be so much fun!

2 Months Old

2009-10-08T13:35:00.000-07:00

Callie, We can't believe how fast this past month has gone by. People always say it flies by faster with the second child and I am here to say they are right. You have changed so much this past month. You are beginning to show us part of your personality and becoming more social. You started smiling when we talk to you and have even began cooing at us. We love to sit and hear you talk. Your daddy says it is the best part of his day when you smile and talk to him. I have to agree. You have grown so much. At your two month check up you weighed 10lbs. 5oz. (50th percent) and measured 24 inches (95 percent). Your doctors said you were really long (which we already knew because you are out growing some clothes in the length) and just perfect. Your eyes have totally healed and are as blue as they could be. Your beautiful complexion is back after a round of baby acne, but now you have cradle cap. Don't worry, the big bows cover most of it up! :) You have gained a lot of control of your head and love to hold it up like a big girl! You also have started to look at objects like toys on your car seat and your mobile. Some of your favorite things include looking at the black and white print on your bumper, watching your mobile go around, people talking to you, eating, bathes, and your favorite, the swing!!! Mommy is enjoying the fact that you only get up for one middle of the night feeding now and sometimes you don't get up till 6:00. Callie your daddy and mommy continue to fall more in love with you each passing day. Oh, and brother loves you so much!!! He is ready for you to "get a little bigger" so he can really play with you. Some of your mommies favorite times with you is first thing in the morning when brother is still sleeping and you just sleep on her chest. Those are precious moments that won't be here forever! Thank you for all the joy you bring to our lives! We love you! Mommy and Daddy!

Family Photos

2009-10-05T13:49:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures we had taken when Callie turned a month old. I can't believe it has already been a month. I am finally getting time to post them.

Our new family of four.

Sweetness!

Our sweet sport boy!!!

Our precious children!!!

First Smiles!

2009-10-05T13:37:00.000-07:00

Well, Callie has been smiling for a few weeks now. It is so precious. She is now starting to coo. It is so fun to see her get a little personality and become a little more social. Here are her first smiles that we actually captured on camera.

One Month Old

2009-09-13T10:27:00.000-07:00

One Month Old!

Well, Callie it is so hard to believe that just one month ago you were still in my belly. We already feel like you have always been a part of our lives. Your daddy and I wondered how we could love another little one like we love your sweet brother, but we wonder no longer. We love you so much and you have found your own little piece of our hearts. We can't put into words the joy we had the day you were born and how much we have enjoyed having you in our

lives for the past month. Your first month was filled with lots of wonderful visitors who all showed us how much they love you already. You filled your days with lots and lots of sleep, eating and a few sweet awake moments. You have grown in the past month and have already out grown one of your little Newborn sleepers. You finally lost your embilical cord a few days before you were a month old. We were so glad to be able to give you a real bath. You loved it! You had many firsts. You went to the pool for the first time and cheered your brother on has he jumped of the diving board and swam like a fish. You also went to church and go to celebrate your great grandmothers 90 birthday. I want you to know how much your brother loves you. Every morning, the first thing he says is, "Mommy where are Callie?". He will go find you and shower you with his sweet kisses. Callie you are so loved and we can't wait to see what the rest of your life holds. We pray always for you and thank the Lord for blessing us with you! Happy One Month Old!

Carson's first day of school!

2009-09-10T10:12:00.001-07:00

On Tuesday Carson started Mother's Day Out again. This year he is going on Tuesday and Thursday. He had a great first day and was so excited to be going back to school. Here are a few pictures I took of him

When I told Carson it was time to go he said "Mommy I ride my bike to school.". So, this is a picture of him riding his bike to school. His bike is his new best friend. He loves riding it all over the house.

This is a picture of Carson with his teacher, Ms. Laura at Meet the Teacher. She is wonderful and he loves her already. We couldn't ask for a better teacher.

This is Carson with his best bud Brynlee at Meet the Teacher. As you can tell, they are going to have a great time together in Mothers Day Out! What cuties!

It's Football Time!

2009-09-10T09:30:00.000-07:00

We love football season around our house. This year Carson has really been excited about it starting! He couldn't wait till Coach's first game. At my dad's first game he surprised Carson with a team helmet. He was so excited! He wore it for the whole game and wears it around the house all the time. So cute! We had a great time at the game! Carson says he can't wait till he is in high school so he can wear real football pads. I think Mommy can wait though :)!

Carson and Coach with his new helmet!

I think it is as big as he is, but it doesn't bother him. Such a happy boy!

His two favorite things, football and suckers!

What handsome boys!!!!

This was Callie's first football game. She did great through the whole game. We were so glad to get to put our blue bow to use. Before she was born and I was making bows, Carson and I were at Hobby Lobby buying ribbon for bows. Carson picked up this blue ribbon and said "Mommy, Callie needs a blue bow.". So I couldn't resist his sweet request for his favorite color. I think she wears it well!

Hanging out with Nana. Look at those beautiful eyes! What a sweetie!

Carson's in Gymnastics

2009-09-10T02:50:00.000-07:00

Carson started Gymnastics a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would be good for him to have something special for him to do. I wasn't sure how he would do or if he would like it, but he LOVES it! Here are some pictures from his first class. He is so proud of himself after his class. It is so cute. Sorry the pictures are really bad, but they were taken from upstairs and through a window.

Stretching at the beginning. Carson just set there and was taking it all in. We still haven't participated in the stretching part. He is just so busy looking at everything and watching everyone.

They got to run and jump on the smiley face then put their hands on the yellow block then jump off. He did so good at the jumping off part!

Carson loved the pit! He almost jumped in a few too many times.

I was so proud of how he would sit and wait his turn. Such a cutie and such a big boy!

Jumping on the trampoline. He really had to work hard to stay in the box. I think this was his favorite thing because he talks about it all the time.

Carson and Callie

2009-09-02T15:59:00.000-07:00

Hello friends and family! Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. Things have been busy around our house lately. It is so crazy to believe that Callie is almost one month old. Time seems to be flying by so fast. We can hardly remember what our lives were like before Callie was here. She has been such a sweet blessing to our lives. Carson has adjusted well and absolutely loves his baby sister! Callie has changed so much in the last few weeks. Thursday she weighed 7lbs and 12 oz. We are so glad she is back to her birth weight and can let her sleep at night (not that she is doing much of that now) :). She is beginning to stay awake a while and be more alert about her surroundings. Thought I would post a few pictures of her first few weeks. I plan on posting her birth pictures and story soon. I just don't have time to go through the 300 pictures we have of her first few days. Enjoy these pictures of our precious TWO children!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Carson and Callie. He is so in love with her and I think the smile proves it!

This was our fist night home as a family. It was such a sweet time! Carson sang "Jesus loves me to Callie". It made my heart swell with joy!

This was her before she went out on her first outing with me. We went to Chick-fil-A. I know she will love chicken biscuits soon enough!

These are pictures of Callie at one week old. I think the bow is as big as her! You know me and big bows! Got to love them!

This is Callie at two weeks old. We started seeing her eyes more this week, but not much! She still liked to sleep a lot!

Every morning for a week, when I would get Carson out of bed he would say "oh mommy! Baby Callie not in your belly anymore." It was priceless. Then we would have to go and find baby Callie. This is how we spend the first part of our mornings. Carson loves to lay with Callie and wake up. So precious!

We had lots of visitors once we got home. I didn't get pictures of many of them, but I did get this cute pictures of Callie's buddy Brinley. She is 2 months older than Callie and cute as a button. It was so good to see them and can't wait to have more play dates together.

This was Callie on her way to her first Bunco game. She was just two weeks old and sleep through the whole thing. Oh and I did win that night. I think she is my lucky charm!

Loved this face!

We were so lucky to have my Aunt come down and stay with us last week. What a huge help she was. Carson fell in love with his "Aunt Rain" (Lorraine). This is Callie and her hanging out while mommy got to get some stuff done. We were also able to have our first date while she was here. It was wonderful! We already miss her lots.

This is Callie and Phil. She was three weeks old this day. What a priceless moment for me to watch! I am so thankful to have the best husband and best daddy every. Couldn't do it without him.
I had been wanting to put Callie in this outfit for awhile. Carson can't wear yellow because it washes him out, but Callie has such dark skin and dark hair that I thought she would look good in yellow. I was right, she can pull it off good. What a cutie.

We took Callie to her first church service when she was just 1 1/2 weeks old. She did great, just sleep through the whole thing. After church we headed over to my Mamaw's house for her 90th birthday party. This was the first time for her to meet Callie. She fell in love!

Four generations of girls! My mamaw was so proud!

I promise to be better at posting. So check back soon!

Welcome Baby Callie!!!

2009-08-09T20:54:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the world Callie Reagan!

Miss Callie Reagan was born on August 6th at 1:22 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs & 11 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. She is beautiful and such a gift from God. We are so excited she is here and can't wait to post more pictures of her soon. Carson is absolutely in love with her!!! He has been the best big brother. He kisses her and loves on her all the time. We are so overwhelmed by the Lord's blessings on our lives! We are so blessed to have two beautiful and healthy children. Here are a few pictures that I had on my computer. Things have been a little busy, but I hope to post more of the many pictures we have taken soon.

Callie and Mommy moments after she was born. Such a sweet time!

Here first bow! This was the bow that Carson bought for her.

This picture says it all. Carson loves her and is so excited she is here!

Sweet kisses!

This was her coming home outfit!

A Look Back

2009-08-04T13:51:00.000-07:00

Well, I was looking back through pictures today and thought I would share a few with y'all. I was thinking about how fast this pregnancy has flown by and how so much has changed in the last nine months. Obviously I have changed in size, but Carson has also changed into such a big boy! He is talking in sentences now and likes to do things "all by myself". He has found his independence and loves playing any sport. He has even learned to ride a tricycle! We are so proud of him and think he is going to make the best big brother. He says he can't wait to rock Callie and kiss her forehead. Here are some pictures I found in looking back at the last nine months.

This is a picture of Carson the day I found out I was pregnant. We had just come back from our ski trip and bought him this cute bear hat.

This is a picture of my when I was just 12 weeks pregnant. I am so glad those days of feeling sick are over!

This is me at 36 weeks.

I had to share this picture! Almost everyone of my pictures I took while pregnant were in this particular part of our house. Every time I had Phil take a picture of me, Carson thought he needed his picture taken also. He would say, "Mommy I take picture of my Callie in my belly.". Phil and I would just laugh and take his picture. What a cutie!

Well, this is my last post before Miss Callie arrives on Thursday. We will be posting pictures of her as soon as possible, so check back often to see our new sweet baby girl! Thank you for all your love, support and prayers!

Callie's Room #2

2009-08-01T06:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally finished Callie's room! Every little detail is not done and just totally awaiting her excited arrival! Here are the pictures of the room with decorations on the wall. Oh, and to update y'all on what the doctor said Tuesday, I was a 1 1/2 and 50 % ephased (sp?). I had been having lots of contractions and back pain since the weekend, but they obviously weren't the real deal. So, he said if she doesn't come before Thursday (the 6th) then he will induce me that day. So, it is the 6th or sooner. We go to him again on Tuesday to make sure everything is still looking ok. He said she is really high and his only concern with induction is that he might have trouble breaking my water since I am so high. Carson was the exact same way, but everything worked out fine. So, please pray that she will drop some and that everything will go wonderful on Thursday! Thank you all for your prayers during the past nine months!

This is one of my favorite parts of her room! I love these letters. Thanks to my very talented friend, Amy. Check out her website at http://amysdoodledandies.weebly.com/

Callie's Room

2009-07-28T20:24:00.000-07:00

Well, the process of getting Callie's room started many weeks ago, but I am happy to say it is complete!!!! Yea!!! I don't anything hung on the walls yet, but wanted to post pictures of this cute room (I am a little bias). I go to the doctor today, so I will post later about any plans for Miss Callie's arrival.

My boys at work. Carson was such a big helper with Callie's room and he is so proud of it now. He will tell you he painted it and hung the chandelier. He is really excited for her to be here.

The finished product!!!

Phil and Carson attempted putting her crib together one night. I think they had more fun with the packaging than anything. Boys will be boys! I say attempted because it was the wrong crib and we had to get another one. Thankfully, they had another one here in town and they came the next day and delivered it and put it together for us. What a blessing that it worked out!

Her Crib!

The next night Phil hung her adorable chandelier. I am so proud of this piece. I love it because it is so girly! Carson helped Phil the whole time and was so excited at the end when the lights came on! He was also excited to be at the top of the ladder. What a cutie!

Here are the pictures of her room with furniture, bedding and a few of the decorations. We love it and can't wait to bring Callie home to see her room!

Here is her cute diaper bag I got as a hostess gift! It is packed and ready!

Showered with Blesssings

2009-07-21T14:02:00.000-07:00

This past weekend some of my sweet friends threw me a beautiful shower! It was so much fun! We got lots of cute stuff for sweet Miss Callie. Here are a few pictures from the shower. We are so thankful for such wonderful family and friends.

The Beautiful Table!

Is this not the cutest thing ever!!!!! My sweet friend Amanda made that for Callie. I can't wait to take her little picture in this outfit!

This was another cute gift from Amanda's sister! She painted this canvas for Callie's room. I can't wait to hang it on her wall. Thanks Shanda, it is beautiful!!!!

The hostesses and me. Candice, Holly, Me, Lindy, Mandi and Amanda. Thanks so much girls for a wonderful time!!!!!

Some of the wonderful cute things we got for Callie!

My mom, sisters and me!

To top off a perfect day, when I got home Carson had a present for Callie. It was this cute onesie and bow to match. I couldn't help but cry and cry (thanks to my hormones these days). What a sweet gift. I am sure Phil had a lot to do with it. He also got her a sweet lovey and matching blanket. I didn't have a picture of it though.

36 Weeks

2009-07-15T14:58:00.000-07:00

That's right! I am 36 weeks! I can't believe how fast the last few months have gone. I went to the doctor today and got to see little Miss Callie. He said everything looks great! She was practicing her breathing movement and had a good strong heart beat. The specialist said he thinks she is about 6lb. 12oz. right now and 18 inches long. So, both doctors said they were planning on an 8 pound baby, which would be great with me. She is head down and getting ready for her big arrival. I wasn't dilated yet, which was good news for me, since her nursery isn't quite finished yet. Our goal is to have it done by this weekend, but we have said that many times already. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures soon. So, the count down is on to meeting Miss Callie! I guess we will see what next Tuesday holds at the doctors appt.

36 Week Belly

The Beach Finally!!!

2009-07-10T07:17:00.000-07:00

Well, finally I am posting about our wonderful trip to the beach!!!! It has been a tradition of our family since I was Carson's age. We love South Padre! It was so wonderful to have the whole family together and to find out that Emily and Jacob will be adding to the family with their baby in January. It was a special vacation we will always remember!

We stayed in this awesome house this year that was right off the beach. So, after two long days of driving, we didn't even unpack the cars before we headed to the beach. Carson had been hearing about the beach for so long but had no idea what a treat he was in for. He had been to the beach before but he was only 2 months old. Here was Carson's first steps in the sand. He walked on his tip toes for a while till he go use to the feel of the sand between his toes.

Getting his toes wet!

Feeding the sea gulls! He couldn't wait to "feed the birds some bread".

My beautiful sisters and me.

The guys! Check out Carson's bandanna! He was so cute in it!

Each morning when Carson woke up Phil and I would take him out to the beach for an early morning walk. This was our first morning beach walk. This was my favorite part of our vacation. It was so peaceful and beautiful in the mornings! What a perfect family memory! I can't wait to take Callie on one of our morning beach walks.

Carson and his aunt Mal!!!! Sorry boys Carson says she is his girlfriend. :)

This is my favorite picture! Carson was going to get his daddy some water so they could make sand castles!
He loved the water!
Building sand castles with Daddy! Phil would work so hard on one and then all Carson wanted to do was knock it down or pour water on it. Such a 2 year old BOY!

Our family loves to ride the waves with boogie boards! Carson fit right in. He thought he was a boogie board pro.

Swimming always makes you hungry. Carson loved sitting in the little chair to eat.

Sorry my camera lens was fogging up, but I love this picture of him in his bandanna digging in the sand! He set there for almost an hour and played. Wish we could have that big of a "sand box" at home!

The house we stayed at had its own private pool in the backyard. This is where we spend the most of our time after the beach. This is where we realized Carson is a fish. He isn't afraid of anything. We couldn't take our eyes off him for a minute. He decided he could jump in on his own with out anyone helping him.

Here are some pictures of us out on the town. We love to go to our favorite restaurants! The food there is so wonderful!

These are from Louise Backyard. A must if you are ever in South Padre. They shout fireworks off every Friday night on the bay! It is beautiful!

Carson drinking his first pina colada (no alcoholic of course). He loved it.

Carson with his Nana and Coach.

Another place you have to try is Amberjacks! There food their is so wonderful. Everything is unique and plated beautifully!

Carson being silly with his Aunt Mal!

There were lots of games played that week! We love getting together and playing. Here is one intense game of Wahoo!

Thanks to Coach, Carson was a happy camper because he let Carson roll the dice.

While we were there it was sea turtle nesting season. In all our years of going we have only seen one sea turtle on the beach. Each morning we would look for them on our walk. We had never gone to the sea turtle rescue center on the island before. It is called Sea Turtle Inc. their website is http://www.seaturtleinc.com/ It was so cool to see all the sea turtles they have rescued because they are injured.

This is a picture of Allison. She is a sea turtle they rescued when she was a baby. She was attached by a shark and is missing 3 of her limbs. She has been on some of the morning shows and you can watch her live on their website. She puts on a jacket that has limbs on it and she can swim with it on.

Guess what....

2009-06-17T14:31:00.000-07:00

I am going to be an aunt!!!! My sister and brother-in-law told us at the beach that she is pregnant. We were so excited and can't wait to meet their little one in January! Here are some pictures of how they told us. There are also some pictures of them with Carson. They are going to make the best parents!!!!! I hope to post more about our beach trip soon!

When we first got to the beach, we went straight to the beach so Carson could see it. While we were there Jacob and Emily called us over and wanted us to see something. There in the sand they had written "Emily is pregnant!". We were so excited!!!!! I know it is hard to see in the sand pictures.

Tis the season to be Crafty!

2009-06-15T15:56:00.000-07:00

Well, we are in the process of painting Callie's room. Hopefully we will be finished by this weekend! So, in the mean time I have been crafting. Here are some pictures of the bows I posted about earlier. These are just a few of the ones I have made, there are many more to come. :) I have also been making her some burp clothes. You will also see a picture of some lamp shades I have been working on for her chandelier. I can't wait to see it all come together! It is so hard to believe that I only have 8 1/2 weeks till my due date. AHHHHHH!!! I better get busy. Look for room pictures to come soon! We can't wait to meet Miss Callie!

Welcome Baby Brinley!!!

2009-06-12T20:51:00.001-07:00

My best friend Amy is a new mommy!!! Amy and Rocky are so happy that Miss Brinley Jane made her apperance on Wednesday! They are going to be the best parents! She is so beautiful and I wanted to share her with all of you! If you want to see more of this precious baby girl, they are on my list of friends blogs under McChat.

Mommy I want to Mow

2009-06-12T15:12:00.000-07:00

Yes! Carson loves to mow! He got a little bubble mower for his birthday and almost everyday since then we have to "mow" the yard. If only it really did cut the grass. Phil would be so happy!

28 Weeks Along

2009-05-26T14:41:00.000-07:00

I thought I would give a quick update on Miss Callie. There isn't much to report. Things are going well, just crazy to think that I am almost 30 weeks along. She moves a lot especially at night! :) Carson has even gotten to feel her move, which he thinks is so "funny". Sleepless nights have arrived, but I feel pretty good through the day. We are excited summer is here and the pool has opened. We have already been twice! The water feels great to me! We will be there all summer. We hope to work on the room after our trip to the beach. So, hopefully I will have pictures posted soon! I also hope to post pictures of my little girl hobby soon. I have been making lots of bows and burp clothes for Callie. I think the "nesting" stage is here and since I can't work on her room yet, I have just picked up bow making! Phil just laughs everyday when he walks in and I have made more bows.

Carson is TWO!

2009-05-22T12:21:00.000-07:00

It is so crazy to think that our little baby is now two! Today I woke him up singing happy birthday to him for the second time in his life. He was so cute, he started singing it with me and clapping his hands. He is so excited about his birthday this year! It has been so much fun to build it up and know he gets it. I think he might be a little sad when tomorrow we aren't' talking about his birthday anymore. Carson has brought so much joy to Phil and I over the past two years! Carson has also changed so much from a little baby to a big boy in the past two years. He can go down stairs all by himself, he can feed himself, he can tell me in words what it is he wants and doesn't want, he loves to play baseball and help daddy do anything outside (really inside too), he is potting in the big boy potty everyday, he knows some of his colors and can count to 5. I just can't believe all he has learned to do in just two years! Car-Car we love you and are so proud of the big boy you are becoming! Happy birthday! Love, Daddy & Mommy!

Carson two years ago the day he was born.

Carson on his first birthday!

Carson this year at his birthday party!

I'm a Big Kid Now

2009-05-19T13:17:00.000-07:00

Carson is sporting a new hair cut! We have trimmed his hair lots of times, but this was the first time for him to really get a "Big Kid" hair cut. He looks like such a big boy now! I guess it is ok for him to look like a big boy since he is going to be 2 on Friday. Crazy huh?

This was Carson the day before his hair cut.

This is Carson right after his hair cut! He loved his new cut. She gave him a spike! So grown up!

What a handsome boy!

Our Baseball Boy

2009-04-15T12:28:00.000-07:00

Softball Monday's have started up again! This is a picture of Carson, Monday night on the way to Phil's game. Do you think he is ready for some baseball action. I think this is what he was born to do!

Week 22 Update

2009-04-10T14:38:00.000-07:00

Well, I am 22 weeks and feeling good! Most of you know, but for those that don't, our sweet baby girl's name is Callie Reagan! We have had that name long before we ever had children! We just hadn't decided on how we would spell it. Callie is moving around and Phil got to feel her for the first time this week! It was so exciting! She is the size of a spaghetti squash or 11 inches long. We are also busy getting everything ready for her to come. Well, we are actually still in the planning stage, but hope to move to the action stage soon! :) We continue to pray for a healthy girl and are so excited to meet her. I went out to my mom's house today and I thought I would have her take a picture of me. It is so hard to remember to take pictures. I wasn't planning on taking a picture because I wouldn't have worn horizontal stripes. Anyway, here is my growing baby bump. I finally feel like I look pregnant and not just chubby.

Let's Play Catch Up!

2009-04-10T13:08:00.000-07:00

It has been so long since I have posted about our everyday life! So, I am going to play catch up and post lots of our favorites from the past couple of months. Carson is just growing like a weed. He is almost 2 and Phil and I can't believe what a big boy he is. He is talking up a storm and repeating everything we say! He has the most precious personality and has become Mr. Independent. He has been going to the potty randomly, but nothing promising. He brings so much joy to our lives and we can't imagine a day without him! He is going to be the best Big Brother! He loves to talk to Callie (yep that is her name) and kiss her. He will come up to me and say "Mommy, more Callie", which means pull up your shirt and let me talk to her. So precious! The pictures below will give you a look at some of his favorite things right now. Enjoy!

Riding Coaches four wheeler or tractor is the highlight of his life right now. As you can see from his big smile!

Carson had an Easter egg hunt at school this week. They had taped all the eggs shut, so when he got home he spent an hour working on getting all the eggs open! It was so precious! He loves those eggs! I am sure Easter Sunday will be fun around our house!

These next group of pictures are from an Easter egg hunt we had at our friends house! The kids had so much fun playing, decorating cookies (really eating them!) and hunting eggs.

Carson and his friend, Carter, were so precious. They were both wearing Brynlee's aprons while playing outside. Priceless! I am sure they were making their daddy's proud!

The whole group! Brynlee, Carson, Averi & Carter.

Carson's buddy, Davis, had his 4th Birthday party last weekend! Carson had fun playing at the park and got to take a swing at his first pinata! If you know Carson this was right up his alley! He loved it!

Precious! Carson doesn't watch TV much at all. He has never wanted to, but lately he will lay on my bed and watch 5 minutes of Handy Manny! What a cutie!

This magazine entertained them for like 15 minutes. Who would have guessed!

This is another one of his favorite things. Playing outside on his playground!

Carson loves the zoo! We try to go once a week or every other week. This day one of the monkeys, came to the window and entertained us!

This is my all time favorite picture of Carson! He go this for Christmas and loves playing "motor"!

Our morning routine. Feeding our dog Bailey. He is such a big helper!

Since he has been paci free, he usually will play or fusses longer before he goes to sleep. This day he had been fussing and this is how I found him when I went to check on him. Priceless! I laugh every time I see this picture. And yes, I did lay him down after taking the picture! :)

This is another visit we took to the zoo. As you can see there were lots of strollers and friends with us this day.

Feeding the ducks and fish. This is Carson's favorite thing to do at the zoo each time!

One day it got up to 90 degrees outside, so what better to do than play in the water! He had so much fun, but spent most of the time trying to drink or catch the water in his mouth! Silly boy!

We are having a ???????

2009-03-25T11:48:00.000-07:00

Girl!!!!

We went to the doctor this morning and he said it 100% a little girl! Phil and I are so excited! We tried to tell Carson about the news and he just wanted his Easter candy. I guess he will catch on soon enough. He said that she (so excited to now know and caller it a "she") looks great and weighs in at about 13 ounces. I have been feeling her move a little bit since Sunday. It is so wonderful to know that she is healthy! Please just continue to pray that she developes and grows perfectly. Thank you all for your votes! It looks like the majority were right! Let the planning and decorating begin!

These two outfits are her first gift from my sweet friend Amanda. How cute!!!

Vote Today & Find Out Tomorrow!

2009-03-24T12:28:00.001-07:00

Well, it is hard to believe that we find out what we are having tomorrow! Phil and I are so excited to know boy or girl! We don't care what we have as long as it is healthy. I have been so bad at blogging lately! I have been meaning to put up a poll for a while and then forgot about it. My friend reminded me today and so I have added a poll for people to vote on what you think we are having. I know there isn't much time since I will be posting tomorrow night about what it is. Anyway, hope you can give your vote! I promise to post what the doctor says tomorrow!

A Blessing

2009-03-14T16:26:00.000-07:00

Wednesday our church had the privilege to have a Awesome band perform a concert. The band is called the Annie Moses Band. They were such a blessing to everyone including Phil and I. I just thought I would share them with y'all. We have been listening to their songs everyday since then. You can go to their website www.anniemosesband.com and listen to their songs. We are hoping to take some friends and family to see them in concert again sometime soon. They are also on itunes. They are a family that play all different instruments and are all Julliard trained. Their songs are wonderful but listening to them over the Internet pales in comparison to seeing them in person. Enjoy!

Week 16 Update

2009-03-03T11:54:00.000-08:00

Well, I am almost 17 weeks and can't believe how fast time is flying! The baby is about the size of your open hand. I haven't felt it move yet, but am looking forward to that in the next few weeks. We find out what we are having on the 25th and can't wait to find out! There is so much to do, but we are just waiting until we know what the Lord has blessed us with. I am so glad to be feeling better and to have most of my energy back. I know Phil and Carson are glad also! Here is a picture of my ever growing belly at 15 weeks. I am also growing in lots of other places as well. It should be interesting this summer having to get into a bathing suit. AHHHHHH!!!!! I was lucky with Carson and didn't have to, but there is no getting through this summer without it. Anyway, we will post when we find out what were are having. More than anything we just want a a healthy baby! Thank you all for your prayers!

Morning Routine

2009-03-02T07:37:00.000-08:00

Here is a cute video of Carson the other morning. When I was getting reaady I noticed he was getting out several of Phil's things and using them. I thought it was priceless and wanted to share it. I also got a kick out of the video because at the end I asked him who his buddy was, expecting him to say his daddy and he said "Carter". Carter is 3 and Carson thinks he is so cool! Enjoy! Oh, you will probably want to scroll down to the bottom of my blog and pause the music player first, so you can hear the video without the music also.

The Prayers of a Mother

2009-02-27T08:12:00.000-08:00

As many of you know, we mothers spent lots of our time praying for our children. It is so wonderful that we have a God who cares about the big things in our lives and also the small things! I thought I would share two things that I have been praying for. I love being pregnant, but pregnancy doesn't love me (at least in the beginning). I am now 16 weeks and am happy to say that the Lord has answered my prayers for the morning sickness to go away. I am not 100 %, but way better than before. So, thank you Lord for being so faithful to see me through those 15 weeks of sickness! And thank you to all my family and friends that had to put up with me also. The second prayer I have said recently will seem silly to most, but is a big one in our house. Carson is now 21 months old and still takes his paci to sleep. Phil and I have been praying for the Lord to help Carson when the time came to take it away. Yesterday when I picked him up from mothers day out they said they had lost his paci and were trying to find it when they realized he had gone to sleep without it!!!!! Shocker! This has never happened before. So, I thought well we will just roll with this and not let him have it anymore. Praise the Lord Carson only cried for 10 or 15 minutes before going to sleep and didn't wake up all night! We are so excited and are so thankful the Lord has answered our prayers again! We are paci free!!!!!!! So, keep up all your wonderful prayers. We do serve a Lord who listens and answers prayers!

Our First Look

2009-02-04T12:00:00.000-08:00

Here is our first look at our sweet baby #2. I haven't blogged in forever and hope to be better in the coming months. This precious baby has been keeping me busy with sickness. I am almost 13 weeks and hope things will be better soon! So, here are our first pictures of our little baby. It was so wonderful getting to see it and see the heart beating. I know this is my second time to do this, but it still amazes me how awesome God is. During the sonogram the baby was moving all over the place and making punching moves. This sonogram was taken almost 3 weeks ago. I go back in 1 1/2 weeks and hopefully will get to hear the heart beat then. My pregnancy tracker says the baby is the size of a plum right now. Crazy to think that at Christmas it was the size of a grain of rice and now a plum. They grow so fast at the beginning.

I am also putting a picture of my fastly growing belly. Crazy how it just seems to pop right out there with the second. I don't remember showing much with Carson till 5 months, but that definitely isn't the case this time. So, here I am at 12 weeks.

Christmas

2009-01-06T12:33:00.000-08:00

Our family has a tradition of "Christmas Eve P.J.'s". Everyone in my family opens up one present on Christmas Eve. The present always holds P.J.'s for us to wear that night. I thought it would be fun to post our Chrismtas Eve PJ pictures for the past three years. I love traditions.

When I was pregnant with Carson!

Last year when Carson was 6 months old!

This year! What a big boy!

Santa's Cookies! This is a picture of what Santa left on his plate. After this picture Carson ran up and ate the left over cookie. What a silly boy!

This is a picture of us at Phil's Bank for the Buffalo Gap parade. Carson loved Santa, but didn't want to get too close.

The whole gang Christmas morning. It took us 5 hours to open all the gifts!

Phil got this Texas Rangers hat in his stocking, but Carson had to wear it. Now he calls it his hat!

Santa brought Carson a bike! He loved it and wanted to sit on it all day. He hasn't quite figured it out yet, but I know it will be soon!

Carson's Christmas Present to Everyone

2009-01-04T11:44:00.000-08:00

Here is a picture of what Carson gave everyone in our families for Christmas!

"mommy is pregnant!"

Yep, that's right! Carson is going to be a BIG brother! We go to the doctor on the 15th and will know a due date, but somewhere around August 14th! We are so excited! Please pray that this yucky morning sickness (which is really all day sickness) will go away soon and for a healthy baby! Carson really doesn't have a clue what is going on, but I know he is going to love being a Big Brother!

6 Wonderful Years!

2008-12-17T13:02:00.000-08:00

That's right, on the 14th, Phil and I celebrated 6 years of marriage. Time has gone by so fast. It is so hard to believe we have been married that long! I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. Here are 6 things I love about him!

1 - I love how romantic he is. Not just on special occasions, but just for fun! Example: We went skiing last week and when we got off at the top of the mountain he stopped and gave me a ring! So sweet and totally romantic!

2 - His fun loving spirit. He is like a little kid at heart. Our life never has a dull moment with him around! He can put a smile on my face anytime of day!

3 - His love for the Lord! I prayed for a spouse that loved the Lord and the Lord has blessed me with one.

4 - He is the worlds best daddy! I can't even begin to describe how wonderful of a father he is. I couldn't make it through one day without him. Neither could Carson! From the begining he got up in the middle of the night and I have only had to give a few bathes because he loves doing that! We love him so much!

5 - His sacrifice for us! He constatly is giving up things he loves to do for us and never complains! Except basketball and baseball! :)

6 - His blue eyes. That is the first thing that I fell in love with, and am still in love with. He can hold me close and I just get lost in his eyes.

I love you honey and am so thankful the Lord brought us together! I couldn't live one day without you and am so blessed to have you as a husband! Thank you for loving me all these years! I look forward to many more wonderful years!

Love, Your Wife

Guess who loves....

2008-12-16T20:32:00.000-08:00

Shoes!!!!!

That's right! Our sweet and very much a BOY loves shoes!!!! If Phil or I leave any shoes laying around he will find them and try and wear them. If we take them off he throws a fit. So, here are a few of his favorites!

For those of you that know Phil really well, you can imagine what he thinks about this picture. It is my favorite one!

He loves Phil's boots. They are wayyyyyy to big, but he has to try and drag them on his feet! Priceless!

These are Carson's new house shoes. He loves his little "ephants"!

We love it all, the music, the weather, the lights, the suprises, the secrets, Santa Clause, Jesus' birth, family, and hopefully snow!

Fork Fun!

2008-11-15T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well, Carson has become Mr. Independent these days. So, here are some pictures of him feeding himself. He loves his spoons and forks. Although he doesn't use them the right way!
Who needs a fork when you have the best utensil, your hand! Yumm!!!

This is how Carson uses his spoon!

New Hat!

2008-11-15T10:16:00.000-08:00

Well, since winter isn't far away I have been in search for Carson a winter hat. I had looked everywhere and finally decided to check one last time at Old Navy. I found this cute toboggon and it was only .90 cents. What a deal. Carson loves it. I brought it home that day and he had to wear it ALL day long. Even though it wasn't even cold outside. So, here he is in his hat playing ball outside! I think we may have a future all star on our hands! I am sure there will be more hat pictures to come because as I am typing this Carson is in his diaper, eating raisins and wearing his hat. Enjoy!

This is his new smile! Cute huh?

Sick Boys

2008-11-12T09:23:00.001-08:00

It has been so long since I have updated our blog. I have 2 sick boys at home with me. So, you can imagine that all my time is going to them right now. Hopefully in the next few days I can get some time to myself and update our blog. I have so many fun things to post!

I also wanted to say "Thank You!" to my very sweet friend Lindy. She brought us a wonderful dinner last night! It was a life saver for all of us! Thanks so much Lindy for making my day!

Pumpkin Fun!

2008-10-27T19:33:00.000-07:00

Pumpkin Fun!

Carson has fallen in love with pumpkins! Everytime we see pumpkins he gets so excited and says pumpkin (of course it doesn't sound exactly like that). He is going to be so sad when all the pumpkins are gone for the season. We took him last week to the pumpkin patch. He got dressed up in his costume and we took some pictures. He was so facinated with all the pumpkins and wanted to pick all of them up. Here are some of our pumpkin patch pictures.

There was a tractor there and Carson LOVED sitting on it! He was calling it a "car". So cute!

Scarecrow meet scarecrow!

Finally, a pumpkin, Carson could pick up. He carried it around with him the whole time. We had to buy it and bring it home. Each day we go out and "play" with the pumpkin.

Bye-Bye pumpkins!

A look back! This is Carson's picture at the pumpkin patch last year! Wow, how much he has changed in just one year!

More Pumpkin Fun!

Painting Pumpkins

This weekend, Brynlee and Carson painted pumpkins. It was so much fun! They loved coloring the pumpkins and themselves. Here are some pictures of them painting and their beautiful pumpkins.

Here are their cute pumpkins! Brynlee's is on the left and Car-Car's is on the right!

We decided to dress them up in their costumes! They both laughed when they saw each other. They didn't know what to think! Carson keep touching her candy corn and laughing so hard. Brynlee was saying "funny". Such fun memories!

What a cute Candy Corn fairy!!!!

Who are you NOT voting for?????

2008-10-23T09:12:00.000-07:00

We all know the election is at its highest peak! Which means that it is on every radio station, TV and in every conversation. This is a cute video of how it has effected our children. Carson's best bud, Brynlee, was over playing yesterday. She was running around the house saying something that sounded so funny. Amanda said "do you hear what she has started saying?". I couldn't understand her until she said it to me. She was running around saying " Barack Obama". So ironic since we are all McCain supporters. It's crazy what a 21 month old can pick up from talk about the election. We laughed so hard because the way she says it is hularious! You can even hear Carson in the background laughing. He thought she was so funny also! Hope you get a laugh out of this also!

Softball Mondays

2008-10-20T08:55:00.000-07:00

Softball Mondays

Phil plays on one of our churches softball teams. So, every Monday night he has a game. We usually make the games unless they are the late game. Carson loves going to the games. Anything to do with a ball, bat and outside! Here are some pictures from one of the games.

Carson is watching Phil hit. He hit a home run! Go Phil!

Playing ball with his buddy Averi! She also loves the games!

Playing with his "Big Boy" friend Carter. Carson loves to play with Carter and watches everything he does. Carter, thanks for letting him play ball!

Priceless! Usually at least one of the kiddos falls or scrapes themselves at the game. This particular night it was muddy from rain. Carson's best friend, Brynlee, fell right into the mud. Bless her heart, but what a cutie!

Sweet Face

2008-10-17T10:06:00.001-07:00

What a sweet face. Today I am so thankful for my little man. Phil and I are so in love with him. We thank the Lord for giving us such a sweet boy that brings us such joy!

Congrats Jacob & Emily!

2008-10-16T08:34:00.000-07:00

Congrats Emily & Jacob!!!

My brother-in-law and sister have moved to Stamford! Jacob is the new pastor at First Baptist Church there! We are so happy for them. Monday they moved and we made a little trip to see their new home! Here are some pictures of their beautiful home. We love you both and wish you the best of luck in Stamford!!!

Favorite Things

2008-10-15T19:29:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of my favorite things!

Carson loves his blankets. He will pull them out of his crib and drag them around with him. He will also lay on the floor with them randomly. So sweet!

Carson's best friend is his Daddy. He wants to be just like him. Sunday afternoon Phil and I were in the bedroom when Carson walked in with Phil's sock and watch on. Priceless! He wouldn't let us take them off!

This time of the year gives me the fever to bake. The other night I was making a pumpkin cake and Phil wanted one of the beaters. Well, Carson thought he needed one also. So, I let him have one and we learned how to lick instead of bite. Since then when Carson sees the beaters he starts begging to lick it. I think we have created a monster. Here he is enjoying the pumpkin batter.

Here is a picture of my silly boys. They are so funny! Carson loves to play and be silly with his Daddy!

I bought Carson some blocks and dump truck at Dittos for Kiddos this year. He has loved playing (really throwing) them. He loves it when we sit and help him build something tall so he can nock it down. When I took this picture Carson turned to kiss the blocks. So cute. He loves to kiss things.

Boys and their Toys

2008-10-15T10:28:00.000-07:00

Boys and their Toys

Carson likes to play with his toys, but loves to play with his "real" toys. Here are some pictures of him playing with his "real" toys. I often wonder if he really needs any toys. Just give him a broom, ball, phone, cart, etc. and he is extreamly happy!

What does a ghost say?

2008-10-09T08:10:00.000-07:00

What does a Ghost Say?

Phil got Carson this pumkin book this weekend. Carson loves his "pumpkin" book. He loves to say "pumpkin" and "ghost". When we read the book with him he will tell us that the ghost says boo. I thought it was so cute, so here is a video of him reading the book last night. As you can see we don't ever get through a book before his is off to something else. What can I say, he is 1 and a boy! So much fun! :)

Blog Header

2008-10-06T19:20:00.000-07:00

Girls Trip

2008-10-06T10:25:00.000-07:00

Canton

This weekend we took a girls trip to Canton. Oh my goodness!!!! How fun. I had only been to Canton when I was little and remember hating it. Now, I love it. It is right up my ally. There are so many cute and creative things that you can't find just anywhere. My friend Amanda is a regular Canton shopper and is the one who planned it all. We both took our moms and her sister went also. So, if you haven't been to Canton it is a must on your list of things to do. I hope to go back soon, but will have to wait and save up some more money! Ha! Ha!!! Thanks Amanda, Carrie, Shanda and mom for a wonderful weekend away! Oh, I have no pictures to post. There is no time to stop and take pictures. Shopping is serious business! :)

New York City

2008-09-30T14:37:00.000-07:00

New York City

Finally, here are the pictures from our New York trip. Phil and I took a wonderful trip with my family to New York City. What took us back to New York again, was the last Yankees game in their old stadium. Well, I guess that part was for the boys and shopping was for the girls. We had a blast!!! It's always fun being with family in a fun city like New York. No, Carson didn't go with us. He stayed back here with his aunt Mal. She couldn't go because of nursing school. Here are some pictures of our highlights.

Yummy! Dessert is one of our favorite parts of New York. You can find all different varieties on every corner!

We took a ferry to Staton Island. The weather was so beautiful and the view was great! It is the best way to see the Statue of Liberty! I still get chill bumps seeing it! Here are some pictures of our ferry ride!

This is a picture of Manhattan. It is crazy how cram packed it is and how tall each building is.

A night out on the town!

Here are some pictures of our touring!

The building behind them is the New York Stock Exchange.

Our journey that night lead us to a wonderful hidden gem in Little Italy. The restraunt was called Puglia's. They were all locals and were having a wonderful time. There was the old man that has been singing there for like 20 years. He sings this song called "shake your napkin" that the locals love. Evedently you can buy it on itunes. His name is Jorge Binucci. Anyway, we had so much fun. Here we are enjoying pizza and songs.

Here we are in Time Square. Just beautiful at night!
We also went to Central Park that night. It is such a peaceful place inside such a busy city.

On the subway.

We went down to Ground Zero again. There is still a large hole in the ground. They are working on the base for the towers going up. In all the times we have been down there we had never gone to the fire station right across the street from there. We just happened to walk down that street and find it. It was the first fire station to respond to the blast and each one of the crew members died that day. They have an awsome memorial and amazing momentos at the station. it is still in operation. So wonderful to see. Here are two pictures of the memorial wall.

Yankees Game

Ok, here is where Phil is going to take over and give the details. I know most of you girls will stop looking at this point and I understand. Your husbands might be more interested in the photos below. But, I did enjoy looking at them and hearing about it.

Picture of "right field porch" where Babe Ruth use to hit the ball.

While at the game, Andy Pettitte reached 2,000 strikeouts for his carrer!

Last pitch of the game in old Yankee stadium.

Security was really tight. Here is a picture of some of the horses and police officers on the field after the game.

Just another day or not!

2008-09-27T10:04:00.003-07:00

Well, Wednesday morning I woke up and thought, I am so glad to be home (we had been in New York) and have a normal day with Carson. But, when I went to get Carson up that morning, I could tell this wasn't "just another day". His left eye was swollen shut. He had been sick for about a week and I knew he still wasn't feeling good, but had no idea why his eye looked so bad. So we got dressed and took him into see our wonderful doctor! Basically he said that his sinus infection has spread into the eye tissue. He got a really big shot and then was put on another round of antibiotics. Bless his heart! Here are some pictures of his poor eye.

After the doctor we had to go out to my parents. While we were there Carson and I heard this strange noise coming from outside. Carson ran to the door and was saying "go" and making his "oh" face. So, we went outside to see what was going on. There were turkey's outside! That's right 5 turkeys! Carson thought they were so funny. He was careful not to get too close. He found a turkey feather and carried it around with him. Here are some pictures of our "just another day or not" turkeys.

Carson loves to play with the cat!

Today Carson also discovered this pot full of dirt. He loved playing in it! I think it took his mind off of not feeling well.

Chicken & Biscuits Recipe

2008-09-27T09:47:00.000-07:00

My great friend Amy posts recipes on her blog sometimes and I thought it was a great idea. I love getting new recipes! So, here is a recipe I tried this this week and we all really liked it. It is simple, full of veggies, and a good comfort food. It reminds me of a chicken pot pie, kind of. I don't really like pot pie, but loved this. So, I thought I would pass along this recipe.

Chicken & Biscuits

1 can cream of chicken soup

3/4 cup sour cream , divided

2 cups chopped cooked chicken (I shreaded my chicken)

1 pkg. (16 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

1 cup shredded cheese

1 cup baking mix

3 Tbsp. milk

Heat oven to 375. Mix soup and 1/2 cup sour cream, cheese, thawed veggies, and chicken. I also added in some seasonings. Put in a greased 8x8 or 2 qt. baking dish. Mix baking mix, remaining 1/4 cup sour cream, and milk in a bowl. Mix until stiff dough forms. Drop big drops of biscuits onto the mixture in the baking dish. I think I did 6 biscuits. Bake 35 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and the chicken mixture is bubbly.

I hope you enjoy. Carson really loved this also! Happy cooking!

The Chair

2008-09-23T14:21:00.000-07:00

About a month ago I posted about Carson's new chair. Well here is an update on how much he loves the chair. The pictures below will show how much time he spends in or on it. This day he insisted on having his vaccum cleaner up in the chair with him. He also was reading his book while in the chair. The chair has brought about a little confussion though. Before, when it was time to eat I would always tell him to go and get in his chair, meaning the high chair. But now that we have another chair he will go and get in "his" chair. One day he got so upset that he couldn't sit in his chair and eat his lunch. So, needless to say, now I have to say go and get in your "high" chair.

West Texas Fair

2008-09-23T10:01:00.000-07:00

West Texas Fair
We took Carson to the fair this year. He loved it! He loved the lights, people, rides, music, and of course the food!

Carson wanted to kiss all the animals. So cute! The goats were the only ones that tried to kiss him back. We had been at the goat show earlier that day, so he was saying goat and making goat noises everytime he saw any animal. It was so funny!

Carson was so excited because they had live music. He loves music and loves to dance. Here he was trying to dance with me, but I think he likes to "shake it" by himself.

When we first walked into the fair, he spotted the Feris Wheel. He was pointing to it and kept saying "go". We took him to it and he just looked at the lights forever and then he was ready to ride. There was a long line and he didn't understand that we had to wait. He kept running up to the front of the line and trying to get on by himself. Once we got on he was speechless. He held on tight to the bars and just looked around.

Goodbye fair! We can't wait till next September!

What a Big Boy!

2008-09-09T19:12:00.000-07:00

Well, Carson is officially a big boy! He started Mothers Day Out last week. He is only going on Thursdays right now. Here are some pictures before we left that day. He loved it. Actually he cried when I picked him up. The boy loves to play! I had a good day and didn't cry other than a few tears right when I got in the car. A mother can't help but worry a little. I actually felt like it was the longest day in history. When you don't have to entertain, change diapers, feed, read books, etc. every 10 minutes you can get a lot done. Carson is looking forward to his Thursday play days!

Are you sure I have to go!!!! I'm not sure about this!

Ok lets go and play!

Hanging out at Home!

2008-09-03T14:53:00.001-07:00

Here are some pictures of Carson hanging out at home. He just loves being at home and playing. Here are some pictures of him being silly with Phil and me!

Carson got a new chair this weekend. He loves it! I don't know how much he actually sits in it, but he does "play" with it. He has jumped on it, crawled on it and jumped off of it. Here are pictures of him with his chair.

The sitting was short lived!

Summer - Coming to an end

2008-08-28T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well, it always makes me a little sad when summer comes to an end. For us it ends the day the pool closes. So, this week we have been pool junkies before it closes on Monday. Carson had his first snowcone this week. Here are some pictures of him enjoying it and the pool!

Carson's Favorite Things!

2008-08-26T09:16:00.000-07:00

Carson is now 15 months old and has changed so much. He is saying words and running all over the place. His favorite things are:

water hoses, being outside, swimming, driving the car, playing with his Daddy, ice cream, running away from mommy, eating Coach's peaches off the tree, telephone, remote control, computers, playing with friends, and throwing rocks!

He is such a joy to us!

Here is a video of the joy Carson brings to us each day!

14 Months Old

Carson still loves to take a bath. He loves any kind of water!

Texas Ranger Game

Coach got Carson his first game ball!

Carson is wearing his cool cousin's hat. Caleb is the cool cousin (really 2nd cousin) and is in the back of the picture.

Carson eating his "ice ceam" (how he says it). As you can probably tell by the red face, wet shirt and grumpy looks it was HOT and long for Carson.

Aunt Mal helped keep Carson happy. Thank goodness for aunts!

Pillowville

Carson's new favorite place in the house! Mommy and Daddy's pillows.

Fun at the Pool!

Happy Birthday Huntley

We went to celebrate Huntley's first birthday. Carson had so much fun swimming and playing with Huntley!

This is after the party. Carson put his party favors to use in the bath! What a cutie!

Carson is into everything these days! He keeps us very busy, but we wouldn't have it any another way!

Carson is a true boy! As you will see from the pictures we spend most of our time outside. As long as he has a waterhose he is happy!

Carson's favorite things are remotes and phones. He loves to talk and push the buttons.

What a cute face!
