Disneyland

Madison and "FOOFY"

She was always wanting to chew our gum "bum"
Loving the lollipop

My little princess

We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland with Aunt Kristi, Uncle Matt and Matt's family. We had fun just Mommy and Me. Yes Daddy and Carson stayed home. That was so hard. I was gone 4 nights without my bubs and that was hard. By the last night I was ready to come home to see my Bubba. We spent three days in Disneyland and had so much fun. Here are a few pics of our trip.

My cuties!!

We had the kids pics taken at the park. They had fun and I think the pics turned out good. We took pics for my Aunt's bday of all the grandkids. Happy Birthday Mema!!

Haircut time

Before at breakfast time. Seriously long hair, but I still think it is cute

All done, playing in the kitchen

After we were all bathed and gelled up!! My little man!

This morning while giving Carson his breakfast I had a wild idea to cut his hair. Easier said than done. His hair was so long, I didn't notice how long it was until I swept it all up. I think he looks so much older now. It is a little shorter than I had anticipated, but still cute for a home cut from Mom. Next time we will take him in to get it done so he looks handsome for his birthday in less than 2 months, where does the time go?

My litte Carson

I am so glad that we have one girl and one boy. I didn't think that I would enjoy having a boy but I love it. Carson is so much different from his sister. Here are some of the things I love about my baby boy:

• He will laugh at almost anything. He is so happy all the time and he giggles all the time.


• He loves to eat real food. Forget the baby food, that stuff is for babies.


• He loves to play with wheels, any toy that has wheels he is attracted to (and guitars). Guess the car fascination is because it is in his name


• He loves cell phones, the real working ones and only if they are opened up. He will SCREAM if the phones are not opened up.


• He is such an easy baby. He is a heavenly sleeper and loves to sleep in his crib and put himself to bed, so easy!!


• I love his hair and how it stands straight up. I need to give him a haircut but am too nervous I will mess it up.


• He is so much fun just to hold and snuggle with. He loves giving kisses and talking "dadadada and nanananna are his two most common phrases. He will go on and on. His sissy helps him also by mimicking his language.


• He is very independent and loves to play in his room with all of his toys.


• He has such a cute little smile and shows us often how cute it is. Madison rarely smiled, she was always very serious. He is our party boy, loves to have fun.


• We love our little angel and don't know what life would be like without our little boy. He is a sweetie and our little prince.

My litte Madison

My sister made a comment today about where has all the time gone, I have had time to think about it and realize that I love my life and all the blessing children bring to my life. I am so grateful for a loving family.

I love so many things Madison does. Here is a list of a few of my favorites:

• She absolutely loves and adores her little brother, she loves to give him hugs and take care of him. Her favorite, my least favorite, is helping him eat. She loves to spoon feed him but boy do we make a mess.


• She loves to play with her cousins and thinks she is so big. When her cousins are around forget it mom, I am playing with the girls.


• She adores her aunt Kristi. When auntie is around she has to do everything she is doing, she loves to dig through her purse and find gum "bum" and makeup.


• She is talking so much more now. She may not be the most clear in her speech but we know what she is saying. My favorite is when she says knife "wife". She is not talking in sentences yet but can talk about most anything. She loves to talk about the sun and the moon. At night if she can't find the moon she is concerned.


• Her baby Abby is her best friend, they do everything together. She rocks her and tells her hush....... and puts her down for naps. She can't sleep without Abby.


• She loves to give us bites "dites" and drinks "ginks" of her food. She loves to share. She loves to break off microscopic pieces of food and give to her brother.


• She loves horses "neighs"


• She loves to sit in the car and pretend drive "wive"


• She loves anything artsy, especially sticking foam stickers on paper to make a picture. She hasn't been coloring so much these days, been so busy being home and playing with Mommy.


• My little girl is growing up and doing so much now. She is so much fun to be around. I love watching her grow and develop her little personality. She sure makes us all happy.

Many new cousins

Well we are all very excited that Aunt Kristi and now Aunt Jo are going to be mommies. Their babies will be about a month apart and will be fun to see them be preggers together. CONGRATS to you both!!

Camping

Madison LOVES her aunt Kristi. They have a bond that is unbreakable.

We did it! We took the kids camping. We went up to Shaver this weekend with Auntie Kristi, Uncle Matt, Auntie Jo, and Uncle Deren. We had so much fun just hanging around the camp and enjoying the fresh clean air. Carson hung out in his pac-n-play or in his stroller. Madison loved being up there and playing in the dirt, but especially playing with all her aunties and uncles. She loves the attention and trust me when I say she got enough attention. We ate all weekend and had fun just being away from home. Kids were great!! Thank goodness. It rained a little on us Sunday morning but not enough to tamper our weekend. We had fun and will definately go again next year.
