The first 2 weeks of Carson's life

Carson is such a sweet baby. I just wanted to share some random pictures of his first 2 weeks.

Hallie and Megan thought it would be fun to pull him around the house on a snow sled. He is their real live baby doll to play with. :) The girls have been so helpful! What would I do without them?!! He loves taking baths.

Campbell and Davis ADORE Carson. Every morning Davis runs in our room yelling, "Where's baby brother?!!" As soon as he locates him he smothers Carson with hugs and kisses and says, "I love you sooooo much baby!" It is such a sweet way to wake up in the morning. I hope he always feels that way about his little brother.

Campbell also loves Carson but he is more "cool" about it. When he thinks no one is looking he will kiss him otherwise he talks to him and covers him with blankets and gives him toys to play with.

I sure love these boys.

The little people in my life...

I wanted to capture the kids with Carson while he is still new and so little so this is what we came up with today.

March 2011 random pics and Melissa's visit

Melissa, Avery, and Jane came to visit us in March. Davis could NOT get enough of "beebee jane". She was the first thing he wanted in the morning ("I hold beebee jane?") and all day long("where's beebee jane?"). Jane was a good sport even when she didn't love all the attention from Davis.

Hallie and Megan had "Crazy hair day" so we got them looking crazy.

These 3 kiddos had a ball together. They came up with lots of "fun" ideas. Trouble...

Speaking of trouble, Melissa found this note taped to my back one night. It says "I'm the one who gives Megan gross food."

We took a few pictures of Jane. She is a little angel baby.

We had a great time with Melis and the girls (as always). The time went WAY too fast!!!!

They're Tumbling our way

Tumbleweeds... I don't like them.

After every good wind storm (and we've had some GOOD ones) we can't get into our backyard gate because it is blocked by the darn pokey tumbleweeds.

I really don't like them.

(Yes, we just throw them into the field behind us... don't tell. We tried putting them in our garbage can but we could only fit 2 and we have 200ish ;0).

Darn things.

Thanksgiving 2010

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had! Most of Trevor's family (we missed you Leslie and Ty) drove up on the icy/ snowy roads from Utah to Washington. We were so happy they got here safe and sound.

The girls were in heaven. Sleepovers with cousins every night! They stayed up way too late and would set the alarm to wake them up in the middle of the night to have "midnight parties".

We spent a lot of time making and eating yummy food. It was Thanksgiving after all!

Kim was the balloon queen. She shaped swords, poodles, viking hats, and so much more out of balloons. Great entertainment!!

Davis loved the turkey place holders we made.

Making the Thanksgiving fixins'.

Davis didn't even make it through the prayer....

One of the days we drove out to some "windmills" by our house. It was awesome to get right under them. The picture doesn't do it justice. It was HUGE.

.

We had to do some four-wheeling to get there and we pulled a guy out who was stuck on the way home... Trevor was in heaven.

Davis slept some more. Ate and slept. Ate and slept.

The girls made our traditional chocolate mint covered Ritz crackers.

Trevor put his new 4-wheeler to use and pulled the sled around behind our house. The kids had a ball. I even went for a ride.

They would come back frozen so we enjoyed a lot of hot cocoa.

Here is a picture of the whole gang in front of our "thankful tree".

And Kim giving her mom a piggyback ride. :)

Jerry brought his projector and it was so fun to watch movies on the wall. Better than the theatre!

The girls were creating new "plays" everyday. Even Megan acted them out (go Meg!).

The above picture is of the "ticket taker"... love it. These girls are so fun.



And more eating...

I will never forget this Thanksgiving. I truly felt love filling our home as we enjoyed just being together. I'm so grateful that our loved ones made the long drive to be with us. It meant so much. We miss you already!
