Finally

Posted by Carey on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 7:35pm

One of my goals this year is to stay on top of blogging and posting new pics and videos. So far, not so good. But I have very good reason. I've had two sick little boys since Jan. 1st so we are just now on the mend and hopefully for the last time this winter!

We had a great Christmas and New Year spending time with Family and Friends! Glad to back in warmer weather though

and tackling my 2008 To Do List!

I have made progress with the boys in some aspects. They are both sleeping in their new rooms!

Thank God!

So, two things down..Lots more to go! :)

Halloween has come and gone folks!

Posted by Carey on Fri, 11/02/2007 - 5:54pm

Time is flying! Hope your having fun! Ok, since Halloween is over that means Nov. is here and I've started playing the Christmas music! Love it!

Anyway... Here are some pics from Hallelujah Night at our church. It was a Disney theme so they had lots of famous characters there. Colson had so much fun. While waiting in line for games he would dig into his candy, just couldn't wait! So, like a good Mommy when we got home I hid the rest of the candy so the kid would sleep that night. I also took it upon myself to protect him from all of that chocolate "stuff" that could do damage to his pretty little teeth. ;) Just looking out for my kiddo's. :)

Colson didn't know what to think about all of the costumes.

Colson loved the face painting, he chose a hippo. He loves painting himself at art class too, arms totally covered in paint...such a boy thing!

He has this thing with throwing his arms out like this and sticking his legs straight out. He'll freeze like that for a few minutes so it looks like he's kind of stuck like that. Funny.

See, he does this all the time in his little bath ring too. I guess he's just excited!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins and More Pumpkins!

Posted by Carey on Mon, 10/29/2007 - 7:49pm

I love this time of year. October begins the first of several months of fun to come! The weather is just right and there are plenty of activities going on. We took the kids to a couple of pumpkin patches this week and Colson of course had a blast! Mini mazes, stories, animals, hayride, pick-your-own pumpkin... Now its time to carve some pumpkins, bake some pumpkin seeds and make some yummy pumpkin cake!

This year, Colson will be going as a Lion and Aven as a little Pumpkin. I'll post pics of their costumes later but here are some from our Pumpkin Patch Adventures...

What to do?

Posted by Carey on Thu, 09/20/2007 - 6:23pm

Today I was at the mall, while there I let Colson play in the play area for a while to get some energy out. As we were preparing to leave, Colson stood up on the bench seating that surrounds the play area and as he did, he accidently knocked over a cup of coffee a guy had sitting on the ledge and it spilled all over some Brand New clothes his wife had just bought and was arranging in a box on the other side of this bench! Well, they were very nice about it and Colson obviously felt very bad about it. (He hung his head low and wanted to hide in Mommy.) I apologized several times and went ahead and left... I felt horrible and wanted to do something to help fix the problem my son Accidently caused, but what? But, on the flip side, I felt the man was partially to blame. He had his coffee sitting on the edge of the bench which was curved, not a level ledge, and my gosh it was the bench of a children's play area! Hello, accident waiting to happen! So, part of me was thinking he should have known better than to place it there.

My question is, "What could I have done, if anything, to repay them for damage done?" Or better said, "What would have been the right thing to do, as the mom, in this situation?"
Yes, it was an accident, but I kept thinking...Those were Brand New clothes, possibly a gift for someone because she was putting them in a box. Could she return them to the store and get a refund? If they were a gift and the store wouldn't accept them, she would have to take them home very soon, remove the tags and wash them to avoid staining and what kind of a gift would that be?
I guess I'm still feeling bad and thought I should have done something, I just didn't know what to do.

So, if you have any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear it.

Happy 30th Ed & Lois!

Posted by Carey on Thu, 09/20/2007 - 5:57pm

This past weekend Bob's Aunt & Uncle,(mine too of course:)), Ed & Lois, celebrated their 30th year of being hitched! A big congratulations goes out to them for making it work all these years. We live in a world where these marriage milestones are not so common anymore. So, a big shout out to Ed and Lois! We love you guys and had a great time celebrating with you.:) Even if Bob had no clue what he was eating! :)

Colson is savoring the chocolate covered marshmallows, while Aven is appalled at his brothers gluttony!

Here's some of the delicious food we had that was prepared and displayed beautifully by a fantastic Chef from Anthony & Heather's church. (Bob said, "I've never seen so many vegetables fixed so many different ways!) Needless to say, he was feeling a tad "redneck" that night.:)

Kentucky

Posted by Carey on Thu, 09/06/2007 - 1:23am

Well, we had a great time in Kentucky with family. Colson made a lot of great memories, clung to Nana and Poppa and had soooo much fun with Nick(aka "the boy"), Tori, Booie(aka Brookie and "the kid"), Allie and Jon.

We're all three having withdraws! :) We miss everyone very much and can't wait to go back for another visit. Here some pics of our HOT summer fun in Kentucky.

Colson caught his first fish! "Mama, mama, I caught two pishy!"

Brooklynn's always ready for picture. :)

A big shout out to Tori! Awesome chic! Smart, funny, beautiful, responsible and only 10 years old! Love you girl.

BUMBO

We got Aven one of those cute little Bumbo seats that helps support them when they're trying to sit up but don't quite have the balance to do it on their own.  He can't totally hold his head up all of the time by himself yet (as you can see) so he won't get to use it a whole lot for a few more weeks.

I think he's going to like it though. He loves to be sitting up (vs. laying in his bouncy seat) and looking around so he can see what's going on and what his big brother is getting in to!

Colson thinks the Bumbo is a "baby potty." :) And of course he wants to sit in it too.

Captain America goes for a swim!

Posted by Carey on Sun, 07/08/2007 - 1:14am

Colson went for his first swim this week while we were in LA. He absolutely loved the water and I think he's going to be a little fish! We've definitely got to get him in swimming lessons.

Bob's New Ride

Posted by Carey on Sun, 07/08/2007 - 1:06am

Here's some pics of Bob's new-used car. We had to drive 3 hours to get it but we really got a good deal for our price range. He needed a commuter car for work and school and with gas prices and living outside of town, we needed something good on gas. And you just can't get much better than a civic unless you go hybrid.

The couple we bought it from, Jason and Ashley, were so nice. (We liked Jackson too, their BIG chocolate Lab.) We really connected with them and may take them up on the offer for surf lessons. :) Jason has been surfing since he was 10 years old so he's a pro! I think it would be the biggest rush to surf through a tube!! Maybe someday.:)
