Carson

Boy Oh Boy

June 13, 2010

So, Carson likes rocks. Sometimes he likes to eat rocks.
Here he is eating a rock:

And here he is after he dropped the rock:

And…he has his rock again:

And then he turned away from me so I can’t see him eating a rock.

But when you get sweet smiles like this – it’s hard to scold him for eating rocks:

Part two – Disney May 2010

May 21, 2010

FINALLY! The rest of the writeup from our trip to Florida in May!
One of the good things about waiting three months to write about a vacation is that I’ve forgotten stuff so I now I don’t have to write so much!
Anywho…
Monday morning was breakfast with the princesses at Epcot. Mallory was giddy as the princesses started coming through the room but was beyond shy when they came to our table. Carson wasn’t shy – he kept shoving food in his mouth the whole time. It was awesome though – because all of the princesses spoke just as you would think …

Flordida – 2010, Part I { the real recap }

May 20, 2010

Better late than never, eh?
So – we went to Orlando in May 2010 so Rick could do a triathlon. Seems that most of our vacation are “working” vacations, we never go anywhere just for the heck of it. My dad & Shaners came with us, and Rick’s entire family met up with us down there. Here weego.
Friday – travel day to Flordida. Mallory was concerned that the captain of the airplane wouldn’t know where we were going and told me she’d tell him. She was obsessed with finding our gate (love that she knows her numbers so I could tell …

“Flordida” 2010, Part II

May 17, 2010

And…here’s the rest of our trip!
So, Monday the 17th we had scheduled breakfast with the princesses at Epcot. When we woke that morning, I told Mallory “Happy PRINCESS DAY!”. With three-year-old attitude and sass, she looked at me and said “princesses don’t say that.”.
Oh.
Anyway…I’d brought Mallory’s Little Mermaid costume, thinking she would want to wear that to the breakfast, but my spinny-dress-loving girl kept with tradition and wore…a spinny dress.
I need to insert here that my dad was wearing a walking boot on his leg because of some pretty bad plantar fasciitis, so we’d rented him a little scooter to …

One for the road

I know I said I’d see you in June, but how could I resist sharing THIS picture?

(He’s in Mallory’s carseat on the plane – it was easier to hold Mallory on our laps and have him in lockdown in the carseat than vice-versa.)

At rest

May 5, 2010

One of the few times a day that you’ll see Carson not in motion, moving from here to there.
I love pictures like this, of my sweet baby sound asleep, tushie in the air, little tiny feet crossed.
Love it. Love him.

Just my kids

May 3, 2010

Oh right, this is a blog about my kids. So here are some more pictures of my kids. I think I’ve given up on trying to get one of the two of them together.

April – in review

May 3, 2010

I promise I do spend time with my kids, I just don’t have a lot of time to write about it, apparently.
Let’s see.
So, Carson is taking advantage of his mobility and cuteness and now stands and begs while Rick cuts up fruit for breakfasts & lunches every morning. He semi-stomps his feet until he gets my attention so I can tell Rick to notice the little hungry person next to him (since you know Captain Oblivious won’t see him himself).
Carson also loves to do high-five and will *sometimes* show us how big he is. Dinnertime is hysterical …

That’s what she said

April 25, 2010

I can’t believe how much I’m not blogging lately. Things have gotten really busy with my photography business, which is good because it justifies the photography gadgets I’d probably want to buy anyway, but it means I don’t have the energy to remember and record all the funny things my kids do and say. I need to get back on track with that, even if it means carrying around a little notebook to write them down.
But, here’s a funny from yesterday. Mallory wanted to carry in my laptop bag yesterday and told us that she is “super ‘trong” (super …
