Mini Vaca!

Okay so it's more along the line of a MICRO Vaca, but I'll take it!! Tuesday, after I drop Carson off at MDO I'm headed here
And I get to spend the afternoon and night with these two lovely ladies! To say that I'm excited would be the understatement of the century!

We don't have major plans for the day/night, but it will consist of a few peaceful hours by the pool without a baby monitor sitting in the next chair. It might consist of some sushi since my mom has officially started eating it. I'm super excited and can't wait to get to Austin and get some R&R with my mom and sister!!

He's on my side

Just wanted to share a couple of conversations that were shared today in my family. First let me say, Carson has been completely wild and crazy lately. That probably is an understatement. He constantly wants to wrestle and run around like a maniac. He is very stubborn and will not do anything that wasn't his idea. I called Zack during one of those moments today and here is our conversations:

Me: Your son is CRAZY

Z: He just needs someone to play with.

Me: What exactly are you saying?

Z: Maybe he needs a little brother to play with.

Me: Now YOU are the one that is CRAZY!!!

I asked Carson that afternoon if he wanted a baby and he immediately told me no. I told Zack about that and he decided he and Carson would have another conversation about it.

Z: Carson do you want a baby?

Car: No thanks.

Z: Do you want a little brother?

Car: Nope.

Z: Do you want a little sister?

Car: No Daddy NO!

Made me smile a little to hear them talking about it. Carson is def on my side!

*I don't want people to think that we will never have another child, but honestly Carson is such a handful it really makes me think twice. He is SO all boy and I'm SO tired by the end of the day. I love that boy to death, but man does he act like a maniac!

"You talking to me?"

Summer Fun!

Oh yeah, we went to Vegas for Caitlin's 21st!

We went to Mexico too!

Afternoon with the waterhose!

We have been traveling more than usual lately. We celebrated Caitlin's 21st birthday Vegas style and then we went to Mexico with our good friends Mindy and Herman for their honeymoon/our anniversary. Things are starting to slow down and we are spending a lot of time in the pool and in the sprinklers! Carson loves the water and is def starting to shows signs of the terrible twos! I have started reading a book about raising boys. They are so different from girls. He really is a dare devil and doesn't realize he can get hurt. It takes a lot of energy to keep up with this little guy. He is coming into his own and starting to really show his personality (he may look like me, but he acts like his daddy). We will be celebrating his birthday next month and I can't believe he is already almost 2! Where has the time and my baby gone?

Hello Old Friend

We had Dr. Suess day at school and Carson thought I looked pretty funny!
Carson playing in the snow! I love this picture.

First let me say I have missed blogging. I know not that many people read my blog, but I enjoy reading others so I decided I should probably update. Carson is getting SO big. He is 19 months old and I can't believe we are closer to 2 than 1. He is talking up a storm. He went for his 18 month check up and the Dr. asked if he had 10 words. My mom just laughed. She child has so many words it's insane. The Dr. told us that since he is more developed physically and mentally than a normal 18 month old that we should expect the terrible two's a lot faster than most. Boy was he right. The child has started throwing full out fits. I'm getting excited about my week with him though. I have the next week off and get to spend a lot of time with my little man. Enough typing.

Merry Christmas!

Z has been out of town for the last few nights. He went to California with a friend and left early Friday morning. Needless to say I haven't slept very good in a few nights. Some people wonder why it's different from when he works nights. I guess I know that if I needed him he could be home with in 15 mins. He can't just hop in his car and come home. I am counting down the hours until he gets back. I think Carson is ready for him to come home too. He was walking around the house with his photo album saying "Dadda", he walked into every room of the house looking for him.

We miss you and can't wait for you to come home! Love you daddy!

Football Season is now officially over. Carson went to every home game and did really well. The last few games were at 11:00 which made it tough on our afternoon nap, but he was a trooper. We love our Baylor Bears and will support them through thick and thin. We bought season tickets this year with the hopes of a bowl game. We didn't quite make it this year, but we are being true fans when we say "It WILL happen next year" You have to love the school you went to. It always bugs me when people talk bad about the University they attended. So until next year...........

We have gotten to know our neighbors pretty well the last couple of months. It's sad that it has taken this long for us to get the kids together, but at least we have done it and had a great time. I'm going to blame it on the construction that took so long on our house. Anyways, this is Harper she is Carson's friend from down the street. HP can hang with the boys. She is one tough cookie. She has to be with the beast that is Carson. I have known her dad for a long time, but have really enjoyed getting to know his wife. It's fun to be able to walk to your friend's house again. It's just like when I was younger. As you can see they are a mess together.

I'm afraid that my posts from now until Christmas will not be too exciting. My camera broke, so I am having to rely on everyone else for pictures. I didn't realize how much I used my camera until it was not available. It broke a week ago and I found myself using my iphone to get some cute pictures of Carson in the yard yesterday while dad put up the lights. Hopefully Santa will be bringing me a new camera for Christmas.....HINT HINT!
