Lunch Time

Every week (well most weeks) some of our school friend mamas and our kids get together and go eat lunch with the Daddies/Hubbies at school! It's always so much fun to get together with friends and let our little ones play! It's definitely one of our favorite traditions since Rob's been in school! Today Carson had fun playing with two of his friends, Dax and Taya! They were being cute and all trying to jump on these hole covers. So I tried to quick get a cute picture! Then they got distracted by an ant and were so cute looking at it. Later Carson didn't think the ants were so cool anymore when he sat in an ant hole and they nibbled on him for lunch! Poor little guy! :( Hard to believe that Carson was just weeks old when we started our weekly lunches!

Playground

So I finally downloaded the Blogger app in hopes of documenting more of the day to day stuff around here. I take quick pictures all the time with my phone or iPod to send to Rob at school or family and I don't do much else with them, so I figured I might a well blog them too. Someday I will want to remember the little stuff too. Although I wish I always had my nice camera I figure sometimes a phone picture is better than nothing! So enough about that... I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but we love the neighborhood we are renting in right now! Just down the street there is a fun little playground and with this beautiful weather we had to go and play! And do a little puddle splashing too, of course! :)

Strawberries!

Carson has started saying a TON of words recently! He will try to say pretty much anything we tell him, but it doesn't always sound quite right and of course when he still really wants something or is upset he reverts to screaming, grunting, pointing, or his signs! But he is doing so good at trying to use his words! Anyway, he is totally moving up in the world because he's starting to attempt 3 syllable words! Haha! Yes people this is a big deal to this little guy! Today at lunch I was sitting there and he started saying strawberries. He obviously wanted more (he pigs out on fruit and even tries to hide it for later..silly) but I thought it was so cute (1st time mom, I know!!! :)) I made him say it again to send to daddy!

Lazy Day

Today was one of those lazy have-nothing-we-have-to-do kind of days and Carson and I loved it! He is totally way into Cars right now. We watch it at least once a day and he would like to watch it more if I allowed it! So we of course watched Cars, colored and played with stickers, got the car washed, and spent the afternoon at the library! We have a library right around the corner from where we live now and we LOVE it. It has the most awesome kids area I've seen! As soon as we walk threw the doors Carson runs as fast as his little legs will go to find the kids area and leaves me in the dust! Of course C's favorite part are the trains! I love days like today and am so grateful I get to be a stay-at-home Mama during this time and have fun nothing-to-do-days with my little boo!

Baby Jesus

We couldn't wait any longer and broke out the nativity for Carson. He got it last year for Christmas and we didn't open it and put it up in the closet for him to play with this year! It's been staring at me all year and I had to get it down! It was cute to see him playing with it! He says Je-us and points and picks up baby Jesus! He even kisses him and puts him on top of the stable where the angel is suppose to go! We sure do love this time of year! We are excited we have a little one to help bring the magic into our home and are excited to share with him the true meaning of Christmas as he grows up!

Arizona Science Center

Last week I scored a culture pass at the library, so Carson, Aunt Christi, and I headed to the Arizona Science Museum today!! I hadn't been to the Museum since I was in Elementary School, so I didn't know how much fun we were going to have, but figured since it was free it was worth a shot, and it didn't disappoint! Although it is intended for slightly older children then Carson, he had a blast. There was a ton of hands on activities and buttons to push, which is totally what he loves! They even had an awesome outdoor water exibit-thing! Carson couldn't get enough of it! Probably his favorite room though was the Lego room. He LOVED racing the cars down the track and playing in the pile of huge Legos! It was a fun day and it was fun watching Carson explore and discover so many new and exciting things!

Carson took this awesome picture of me while pushing every button he could on the computer!

Guess who?

Anyone have a guess who is on our pumpkin this year? I thought it was going to be easy, but this was harder then it looked and I totally messed up. But then again I'm a horrible pumpkin carver! When I sent this picture to my family my sister was the only one that got it right! I thought my brother's guess of Pooh was the funniest!

Meow!!

I HATE cats, but Carson thinks they are funny! Every once and a while our neighbors cat jumps on the wall and hangs out. It's like Carson senses that the "kiycat" is there or something because he always finds it! He laughs and laughs at it and meows... Then he gets angry when it jumps off! I'm glad the neighbors have a cat he can enjoy looking at because we will never ever ever own one! :)

Train Park!

Rob had a Saturday that wasn't totally full of studying, so we took full advantage and headed to the train park to have a picnic and ride the train! This seriously is such a fun park and Carson loves trains, so if you haven't noticed, whenever we have a free Saturday we often choose the train park! The weather was perfect and we had a great time! We even rode the train twice today!! After the park we took Carson to get his all time favorite treat--a smoothie from Jamba Juice! I didn't get any pictures of that but he loved it so much he didn't take his lips off the straw the whole time we were there! I love fun Saturdays with my two boys!

Cozy Truck

Carson loves Cozy Trucks and Cars. He spends a lot of time in his truck at home and loves to sit in them whenever he sees them, even if they aren't his! He recently has become a little more interested in watching movies. He doesn't make it through the whole thing, but will watch for a little, go play, and come back for some more. Today when we started a movie he got his cozy truck and made it a drive-in movie! He even got his favorites Mater and Lightning McQueen and put them in the cup holders to watch with him!

Cousins

Carson is so lucky to have LOTS of cousins, and even some right around his own age! However, he loves the older ones just as much too! They spoil on him, sing to him, and the older girls love to "babysit" him! They can always make him happy! Sometime I will facetime my sister just to have her kids talk and sing to Carson to make him happy! He sure does love all his cousins...if only we lived a little closer to them all! But it makes visiting that much more fun!

Almost all them still call him Baby Carson too... Allison (the one in the purple dress) from day one has called him Baby Carson and even names some of her dolls baby Carson too--it's super cute! Now that he is totally becoming a big boy, we will see how much longer the "baby" sticks, but I think Daddy and Mommy will keep calling you Baby till you can tell us NO! :)
