Carson's 3rd Birthday!


I can't even describe Carson's reaction to the train cake I made for him. His excitement and gratitude was completely worth it!

Water fight!!

Ready to party


Every kids' dream... an ice cream sundae bar with every topping imaginable. AND ice cream cone cupcakes in case there wasn't enough sugar already!

Look what I made...

Yum! (of course he ate most of the toppings and very little of the actual ice cream)

Party Charlie

All Carson could wait to do was eat the smoke stack of the train.... essentially a mini cone rolled in yellow sugar and filled with marshmallows.

That made his day.

As Carson's shirt says... the 'Party Starter'

Little Charlie decided to venture into the tents/tunnels

...to jump!


A wagon ride to top off a great day!

Silly faces!


Sisters in AZ / Doug's Birthday

A pretty common sight after our morning walks...

My two sisters came to visit for a weekend. We pretty much ate, shopped, ate some more and shopped some more!

Carson's holding Corduroy - an early birthday present.
He has slept with him every night since and must always know where he is. He has become Peanut's sidekick for sure!

Eatin' puffs!

Happy Mother's Day!

On Mother's Day morning I came back from my run to Carson greeting me with the world's largest Mother's Day balloon! Dad said that he asked Carson which one they should get and of course, he said "THAT ONE!" He spent the entire day pulling it around the house. I asked him if it was my balloon and he said "Yes, but we can share, Mommy!"

Grandma!

Grandma Gwen & Dennis came for a few days to visit. We had a great time while they were here just enjoying the weather and good company! While they were here, Charlie looked at me Sunday morning at breakfast and said "ma-ma". He also cut FOUR top teeth that day. He'll be eating steak before we know it!

Granny Gwen & Charlie

So serious...

Just noticed Daddy outside the window


So deep in thought...

Grandma reading to the boys

Carson & Charlie... we found out Charlie wants to play hot wheels with Carson now and loves them!

Charlie and I went up to Troon North one day to
take some pictures for one of Doug's articles.

This is where Daddy works! (so rough)

I'm always behind the camera...
