28 Weeks Along

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!

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.

I'm a Big Kid Now

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

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

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!

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 ???????

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!!!
