C'mon Ride The Train

All aboard! A couple of mornings ago Carson started dragging chairs around the family room and lining them up. I kept scolding him and telling him to put the chairs away to which his reply was "No, choo-choo train". That's when I realized he was building a train by lining up the chairs. Then he got his big brother and dragged him over to his train, both boys climbed aboard and Carson said, "All aboard! Choo-choo"! The boys had fun playing on their chair train until it was time to get ready for school.

FLASHBACK MOMENT:
Later that morning after I dropped Cole at school I remembered him being not much older than Carson and doing the same thing. I found the old pictures of Cole playing trains, what a cute little guy he was. When did he grow up so fast?

Bitten! (Not a Twilight Post)

My poor little Carson got bitten today while in the childcare at the gym. Some bigger child chonked into Carson's cute little face and got very, very close to his left eye. The thing that angered me the most is that they couldn't find the other kid's mother anywhere. They checked all over the facility even the showers and bathrooms and she was nowhere to be found, hopefully she wasn't across the road shopping at Target and abusing her gym childcare privileges.

Carson is a champ; he never even cried!

Do You Blog?

The other day someone asked me if I blogged and I was quick to answer with a "yes". But then I realized I have been really negligent in posting to my blog and that maybe I should update this page so I wouldn't be considered a liar.

So what's been going on? Well, I had a birthday on the 9th. My 29th again... We did lots of celebrating over the course of the weekend. On the Saturday before, the boys gave me an early present...A BIKE! I've been wanting one for a while and now I am wishing for nice weather so I can take it out for a spin. Also that night Alan and I went to dinner and a movie and then he surprised me with a night at a hotel. He had arranged for Gretchen's fam to stay with my kids so we could stay out all night. Fun! The next night (Sunday) we partied at my parent's house. My Mom outdid herself with the cooking and we stuffed ourselves sick. It was so fun!

The day after my birthday my awesome girlfriends took me to lunch at In 'N Out (Mmmmm) and then we went for cupcakes at the retro bakery afterwards. It was the bakery's first birthday and they were giving out free cupcakes and we even made it on the evening news, lol.

Thanks everyone for making my birthday special!

Carson Turns 2!

Wow, time flies! I can't believe my little baby is a two year old kid, complete with all of the terrible two tantrums too.

Some fun things about Carson are:

• He loves Little Einstein's and calls it Pat-pat.
• For awhile all food was called pizza even if it was a cookie.
• He loves Cole and does everything that Cole does.
• He hates the sun in his eyes and screams every morning when I drive Cole to school because the sun hits him right in the face.
• He has no fear, he will jump from pretty much any surface no matter how high.
• He likes to snuggle teddy bears.
• He is discovering his independance.
• He is a Daddy's boy.
• He is a sweet boy with a huge smile and we all adore him!

We had a Mickey Mouse birthday party for him at Grandma and Grandpa's house (which ran concurrent with the Super Bowl). At first he was not so sure about the presents and the candles on the cake. But then he started figuring everything out and had a great time!

He loved his cupcake and ice cream cone!

He got a little quad from the family and he was so excited.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARSON BABY! WE LOVE YOU!
