Carson's 3rd Birthday Party

Carson turned 3. WHAT?!? Where did teh time go? We had a great time with his Diego cake, even though it turned his whole face blue. Oh, well. You only turn 3 once. :) My best friend and her family even came down from Iowa for the party. She's the best!

Hayride

We went on a hayride with Grammy and our church. It got to be quite cold, but I was lucky enough to have Carson as a nice heating blanket on my lap. He had a great time! He liked getting to have s'mores afterwards, then we went out for pizza with Grammy. Yummy!


Carson's first s'more

Carson's Christmas program

Okay, since it has been months, I'm going to do a few posts, starting with the most recent.

Carson had a Christmas program at school Monday night. He was fine walking to the stage, then got nervous and chewed on his hand the whole time... until "ho, ho, ho" was heard and Santa walked in. Carson's whole face lit up. It was so cute!!

Mother's Day

Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Mary, and Ben came over for Mother's Day. It was so much fun to watch the boys play together!!

Cj and I joined my best friend Rachel and her hubby Josh along with another couple in Jamaica for 6 days, 5 nights. It was a lot of fun, but it was 1 night too many, especially since we hadn't been away from our kids that long before. We tried to talk to Carson twice, and it was just too hard. It was so great to see him when we got home!! Even harder to take him to daycare the next day!

If you didn't know, the wives went cliff jumping the next to last night. It was a lot of fun... on the way down. Ray and I went twice due to a technical difficulty (a boat with a driver who couldn't steer) and we both got injured the 2nd time. She busted her lip and I busted my butt-- big time. I was black and purple from the backs of my knees to the top of my butt. I was the talk of the resort as I carried around a pillow to sit on. Made for a loooong trip back.
