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.

Playing the "broom guitar"

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!

It's been so long I had forgotten my password!

Many people are writing about things that they are Thankful for and I wanted to just share something with you all that I wrote a little over two years ago. It was before I really knew much about the blogging world. I made a blog right after our miscarriage.......I stumbled upon it when I was trying to figure out what my password was. It just reminds me to be thankful everyday.

I am thankful for my miscarriage because without it we wouldn't have this little man....

He is a mess but I love him! We are talking up a storm and will be 16 months next week. He doesn't walk he runs. He is sweet and loves to give kisses. I haven't actually sat down to count his words. I need to do that. I think he is brilliant.......but he is mine. We picked him up from Sunday School and the teacher told me that he loved reading their book. She handed it to him upside down and he turned it around and flipped through the pages. I told you he was brilliant. Most of our time is spent outside. When it rains we are not a happy camper because we can't go "side". Just a real quick update. I am going to try to update more often.

Who knew my munchkin would have such light hair.

Sweet Summer Time!!

I have completely been neglecting my blog lately. You would think with me being out of work for the summer I could blog more often, but it is quite the opposite. Since I'm not working I have become a full time stay and home mom. This has been great, but I just can't see myself doing it permanently. I have the best of both worlds. I get to work 10 months of the year and stay home 2. Carson and I have been getting up every morning and hitting the gym. It has been an experience for him. You see he hasn't been in day care at all. He has had a rough time getting used to the gym nursery, BUT today he lasted the whole time and was even happy when I picked him up.

Zack's first Father's Day

Carson was teething like crazy!

My dad let Carson wear "Golden Boy" for the first time. We were all shocked. You see this t-shirt has been a prized possession of my dad's for a few years now. He has HUGE holes everywhere.

Caitlin came back from Spain....Can you tell Carson was glad to see her?

Our good friends Mindy and Herman got engaged!! Mom saved the cake...it looked terrible before we fixed it!

I will update more later. I wish I hadn't waited so long. Hopefully I won't wait so long this next time!
