Every year Carsen's birthday always seems to be the party to kick off the summer. So we took it to the beach! At least in that Texas kind of way. This party was fun and easy to plan. Carsen enjoyed having all his friends and family here to celebrate his special day. His big brother Tyler made a special trip from Kansas, Grandma Clo came from Arkansas and Pappo and Grandma Ulli arrived from San Antonio. Birthdays are always fun but its a little more special when you are surrounded by all the people who love you. Carsen is one loved child!!!! </div>

Life has been crazy busy, not to mention my poor computer has been dropped one to many times. It's about to go into the shop but I wanted to catch up on some blogs first. My goal is to blog once or twice a week until I'm caught up. You may see some old blogs I started last year but never posted.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm going to start out this year like I did 2011! RAZORBACK football! Travis and I were extremely excited our teams finally got to play each other in the Cotton Bowl. My kids have known the Hog Call since birth and now Travis thought it was time to teach them some K-State chants. They would get the two teams confused and call them <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Razorcats</span>! How cute is that?. I thought it was perfect.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><br /></span></div><div>We started our festivities with the K-State pep rally at Ranger Ballpark. At the last minute I threw this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">KSU</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">cheerleading</span> outfit on Chloe that was 3-6 month in size. Well we made it work. ( I won't mention how many Razorback outfits they both have...oops). Travis was super excited to share this experience with the kids. Originally when I was getting ready I had on a grey sweater (trying to stay neutral), then Travis walked through the bathroom and said.. "your Dad would be ashamed of you right now." I quickly changed into some Arkansas RED. What was I thinking?!! We all had such a great time. All the K-state fans were very nice to me. Travis was proud of me too. Ha!

Carsen and Chloe had a blast. We decided a few weeks back that they would be Tinker Bell and Peter Pan. Chloe has been a little obsessed with Tinker Bell lately and Carsen watches the movie over and over. He even asked if Preston could dress up as Captain Hook. It was a little to late to get a costume together but we dress up next year for sure. We started out the night by carving our pumpkins. I have to say this was my first time to carve a pumpkin by myself. It looked like a 2 year old did it (not cute at all). Travis took much pride in his pumpkin and of course Preston went over the top with his creation. It was a lot of family fun. Chloe and Carsen did not like the icky seeds and goo inside the pumpkins. So they weren't much help. After we placed our pumpkins on the front porch we headed off trick or treating. Carsen and his BFF Cole were the two cutest boys EVER!!!! They held hands as they went house to house with Chloe following right behind them. It was an awesome night. We finished the evening going over to my sister Myssy's house to share some candy. Im looking forward to many more Halloweens. </span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Family Pumkin Carving</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD05U4eedv_9Mjv3iUZQFmpnWCdjsspuFAu7AiNLvlcIC9iFOppcbUfyBtW4VkCSH1bifZ_4-X7oIfamOZo07VejdnUSAszZ-zgJ_THe0o9FGwS130nXBhYNhm49AV8MK6iIJjRdlSl98/s1600/pumkin1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD05U4eedv_9Mjv3iUZQFmpnWCdjsspuFAu7AiNLvlcIC9iFOppcbUfyBtW4VkCSH1bifZ_4-X7oIfamOZo07VejdnUSAszZ-zgJ_THe0o9FGwS130nXBhYNhm49AV8MK6iIJjRdlSl98/s400/pumkin1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673119710064545618" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Halloween 2011</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF141IeKqUIzjb5i4-Dz7XWHGAkmB89uwjWXOhUCOpaFwSco-lt0wgy4SCVpR2PQjqZb_5S_TMsQvYNIV7PJRrGVbnQgeie5N6BzwCb6R0zI3ZlslHX9n7NCGpMg9AgLVA2BoFbliFCn4/s400/hw1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673114709630882434" />On Saturday night Travis and I headed over to a neighbors for some Halloween fun of our own. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6hc2rfu18GK1NHXMUpiaDifjE8gNvq8L9D455umyRoadQzfhHTBVvM7ALyVzZ8_jkFZjLgvw3o6LCR-RmpGhxkJcwgQwLWstvRpiJLygmGc-z5fF_VX1UhsXEdze1Qbdhkygo57aKot8/s1600/IMG_8793.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6hc2rfu18GK1NHXMUpiaDifjE8gNvq8L9D455umyRoadQzfhHTBVvM7ALyVzZ8_jkFZjLgvw3o6LCR-RmpGhxkJcwgQwLWstvRpiJLygmGc-z5fF_VX1UhsXEdze1Qbdhkygo57aKot8/s400/IMG_8793.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673117459832722322" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04646883398795584821noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450106244288313530.post-29151123674775656622011-11-06T07:00:00.000-08:002011-11-06T13:18:48.999-08:00Chloe's Sesame Street 2nd Birthday Party<div style="text-align: center;">I blinked and now she's 2.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzM6VXWFSYBDWpkh38p5vycM9JHAlfb6p_bo6ILttFJjCZqS7CX7oxBZlu61IPtoGRikVkgA-w9KEpjrN86Qn41TStpnZlKF07THCbLu1e0WycqJTapOD1id-8PtXmYMrXz23nCFTpLi8/s400/Image.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669497773630396098" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDx0LvQDfn4U0PfLJtuxDn77_YFtKUp6fN9ZGs7P-wZUQCz_BeSvrYulLPQzzW5_35R4hUme8I0PyvdTeLgedNc9sP6bLM42nKV9W3nubzAOed2uO2sAbOTCyHWLy3PKvrVhiwj9OQFU/s400/IMG_8417.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671926339613759602" /></span><div style="text-align: center;">Good times, good friends and good food.

She was having some major medical problems and was unable to celebrate. My sister Myssy and I decided to throw her a party when she least expected it... 6 months later. We had such a fun time planning and keeping secrets. Teresa had absolutely NO idea. We didn't even let her daughter Tessa in on it because we knew she would spill the beans. We decided that Dallas would be the better place to pull it off. Teresa thought that her and Steve would have a little get away for Memorial Day weekend and have her sisters all to herself. Little did she know that the entire family was hiding over at Myssy's. It was pretty tough pulling off the final details and keeping her away from Myssy's house until Saturday but we managed to do it. I even had someone come over and do her makeup and hair. That might have been a red flag but she played along. Best surprise party I've ever pulled off for sure.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLXSJD-A15qHaF-vUbPS6NTWcxE7teybBZTc7410c-XKwKkOBBEdO9thij8ajHsrge3OcuWch_hyphenhyphenmlzBMiAf6yr2T7ZbUn7GNHfePAtbluusq_fELVA2I2AiaPVaOU6wToEZcvxJi3p8/s400/IMG_4169.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656484034045583634" /></span><div style="text-align: center;">The moment of surprise.

Carsen's 3rd Birthday Party<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Turning 3... so many emotions are tied up into that statement. We are proud of the little boy Carsen is becoming. Underneath the "tow head", blue eyed, pasty white boy exterior there is a genuine loving boy. Following around Travis is his favorite thing to do. He enjoys helping T with any project. Whether it's changing light bulbs, planting flowers, pulling weeds, hanging a picture, Carsen is right there to hand him a tool and ask "why do that?" Or if he doesn't understand what you are saying, he says... "what you said?' It totally cracks us up. He's very curious about everything going on around him and he doesn't miss a thing. Tricking him is becoming more of a challenge. He is already quite witty. This will go one way or the other..</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:medium;">. Ha! Ha! I love every minute we spend together. Carsen knows his role as big brother and he takes it seriously {even if Chloe feels otherwise} They are the best of friends and I hope it always stays that way.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">His latest obsession has been the Toy Story Trilogy. What better way to celebrate his 3rd birthday. This party was super fun to decorate {minus the concussion and black eye}. I actually made most of the things instead ordering them on ESTY. That was a shout out to myself. TOOT TOOT. Lol. Thanks to my mom, Ulli and Mary for helping put my vision together.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Invitation</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhePWQV1zz8tQKedRotRFYuXHm6t-FDm78J31J8JjxpSa-DadFChPRBdFp-p6062o9ETtRZW6kqhG6AJVFktAQDZuQleayzwtD4j-vujeQ9ifbc6mGKOpDoV9s_q848Tv45HVfo-NeffH8/s400/%25C2%25A93boysstationeryDIY.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621271290661299378" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Food Table...</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlF0uJlKJdpK10Z-cTlLzLAk5DMc2vb5_4iL7kFq7JIKC-XHuoyhenTXNN2unlRE0WdDrNsJVQD54Av5WX1FL2DmWXRnOycSHd0_Dgq8G-e_Hlp1CDF3DF_ercP7WpEALYHae160kT_K0/s400/IMG_4381.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617789961623689890" /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watering Hole...</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMbPWsju9kFDqCKWvqXIIiMnCZoPsDH6XAUKn1N8D97qS_5QAAnve7itY3m76DxM4zRPrkNU45eMaBDiYcWXV-QgKRVb-cRhg4ITrHd8W4Cm_8Si1ONj8N_2XR0XNhm-8SesU3nw82FfE/s400/IMG_4363.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617789958285662818" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Mantel... the drawings here are from Andy's room in the original Toy Story.

I'm a little slow on the blogging these days. The weather has been so nice. Chloe is such an AMAZING little girl. I could go on for hours bragging about her. I'm just so blessed to have two healthy, loving, and remarkable children. They are the best part of me. </div><div><br /></div><div>So let the gloating begin. Chloe can count to 10, sing her ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday {of course} Itsy Bitsy Spider and many more. She knows her shapes and colors and can speak in full sentences. She can keep up with her brother with almost everything. Our latest task is potty training. She has been coming up to me and saying she needs to poop. I think this will still take a while but at least the process has started. I can't wait for the day I don't have to buy diapers {but I will also be very sad}. She is my child that I really have to watch what I say because she repeats EVERYTHING. She is Carsen's little shadow and I think that it's absolutely precious. He is very protective of her around others but loves to aggravate her at home. Sassy is her middle name. I'm willing to take any advise on that one. She laughs at EVERY form of discipline. I will have my hands full raising this one. Thank goodness Carsen came first. LOL! Although he is not perfect either. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A walk down memory lane...

They have become my family away from home. This year we decided to get a little crazy and take a trip together without kids. Only 5 couples were able to go and we had the BEST time. T and I headed down a day early to spend time with my Mom before we left the kids with her. {That will be a whole separate blog.} Anyway, we had a fun filled packed adventure. There was never a dull moment. Follow along the pictures as I will tell you all about it. Ha! Ha!</div><div><br /></div><div>The house was called Lazy Lane Lodge. It had 4 master bedrooms and a private loft. The lake views were awesome. It also had a wrap around deck with hot tub and fire pit. Overall it was a great house. The owners... not so much. Ugh!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7DnRg6e3lIcdz4xwNpY3f8qVTd3m-GFceZd8cH4-8hnBDIOaVRr1aSYenaLMmxI4Su9mQMlsfACnGXbJ7mXaSd6GQD2pLkqBFQyo0hD8H9U3-g1W1GBAO6kjfmrZIQKWA0KqtR_1RbD4/s400/IMG_4948.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596665680006191394" /><br /><div>Friday....</div><div>The girls had a spa day planned while the guys played golf. First stop, the Arlington Hotel for "brunch" which really was lunch. We went there for the "historic experience" but I think the experience we had was definitely historic LOL! Let's just say someone in our group who was pregnant and was served the wrong drink {if you know what I mean}.We had a good laugh. This was my first drink of the day. LOL! I'm so dramatic! After lunch we walked around downtown the headed down to the spa for our facials and massages. Now that was nice. Awe.... I'm still thinking about it. </div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIw2PwWpydfEGvKbViwA9fdnZjEEd_eROCOHLLr0pMQ9kk77Nx8ogwOIoNOmXvqYuNo4JhyphenhyphenqFUS53FJ6cOs2wxynR2qxIz_An8zJemzxl9peWSS57d2XVMEm5lMK0cRmKVXqJwun25rRs/s400/IMG_2753.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596656724088623090" />Later that night we headed off to the Belle of Hot Springs for our sunset dinner cruise. The scenery was fantastic... the food not so much. What can you expect from a 100 year old boat. We still manage to have an awesome time. Did I mention it had a full bar?

We started out with the whale show "Believe". Carsen didn't have any idea what to expect and Chloe was just a wiggle worm. But once the whales came out both kids never took their eyes off them. They were in complete awe. We also made to the dolphin show, sea lion feeding tank, Bay of Play water park, bird cage, dolphin tank and sharks. Oh not to mention meeting Elmo and Cookie Monster. We had the BEST day with the kids and T's parents. They were such troopers and unbelievable grandparents. Thank you for such an awesome day together.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our first pic of the day!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtvy4xP7hyphenhyphenGFoIVh4Q03u85-L1SLewFzcsiVPugA-mKxlap01aLWcRrU02A0Gg27118N9kqvr4L9HUlzSHa8ovVeVWtmvvdg7F8lMMWQOfPTIVd_IcWCtBsJjwCVCUV6n_dEcoBKxVGRs/s1600/IMG_1898.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtvy4xP7hyphenhyphenGFoIVh4Q03u85-L1SLewFzcsiVPugA-mKxlap01aLWcRrU02A0Gg27118N9kqvr4L9HUlzSHa8ovVeVWtmvvdg7F8lMMWQOfPTIVd_IcWCtBsJjwCVCUV6n_dEcoBKxVGRs/s400/IMG_1898.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589712981340872066" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One excited boy!

Can you see the love and sweetness in his face. This picture is popular with the "Wolf Pack". I think we all have it in our homes. This is who he was, laid back, kindhearted and one funny guy. He was always keeping us laughing. Even down to his final hours. I couldn't imagine the humility he was going through having his kids taking care of him but he always made some kind of witty joke out of it to turn the humility around on us. He definitely left a lasting impression with all of us and whomever he met. I'm honored to have been his daughter and friend. <div><br /></div><div>After my dad passed away, I was looking through the things on his desk for the memorial/funeral. I found this poem tape up next to his laptop. I had never seen it there before. It was like he left it for me to find and it was his goodbye letter. He never said goodbye to me which frustrated me. He would always say he's going to beat it and smile. But now I realize after reading this poem a 100 times what he was really saying to me. Just read it and you might understand as well. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's weird, when I read it I can actually hear his voice. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>"To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me"</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I am gone, release me, let me go,</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have so many things to see and do, </div><div style="text-align: center;">You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be thankful for our beautiful years.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I gave you my love and you can only guess,</div><div style="text-align: center;">How much you gave in happiness.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thank you for the love each of you have shown</div><div style="text-align: center;">But now it's time I travel alone.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then let your grief be comforted by trust.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's only for a time that we must part,</div><div style="text-align: center;">So bless the memories within your heart.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I won't be far way, for life goes on,</div><div style="text-align: center;">And if you need me, call and I will come.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Though you cant see or touch me, I'll be near,</div><div style="text-align: center;">And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, </div><div style="text-align: center;">All my love around you soft and clear, </div><div style="text-align: center;">And then, when you must come this way alone,</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll greet you with at smile</div><div style="text-align: center;">and say "Welcome Home."</div><div style="text-align: center;">Absent from the body; present with the Lord.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">by Fawn Donaldson</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"><b>Please take a moment to say a prayer for my family who's hearts are feeling pretty heavy today!

There is laughter, aggravation, warmness, happiness, tears, frustration and more laughter. How is it possible to have so many emotions in one day? The funny thing is that I thought one child was tough. Boy was I wrong. Some people even told me I was crazy to have 2 kids so close together {like I could do something about it at that point} but that really wasn't my plan. I guess what I'm trying to say is that even though things don't work out according to your perfect plan, everything happens for a reason. Carsen and Chloe were meant to be siblings and close in age. They compliment each other in so many ways. Although they are complete opposite in looks and personality they are the same. They give my life a whole new meaning and I LOVE every minute of it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's Carsen helping out with Chloe's highchair tray. He's my clean child. Loves to do anything with a vacuum, broom, rag or whatever. He just wants to help!</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnadtcBNeqnCsdCRQAIxdd45S-UsAMd60X2obVmaKIo4Mg5Ip4VW_g7PqVdH77y74lM34uTRVLKdzGH42HTBTT6LGpQ_MNYuYRIbkg09fLivs6X-vVxpoi-D53nfCzotUvgsmdSxl3SGg/s400/IMG_9246.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576626227307691298" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is totally Chloe's personality.

Thank you Stacie S. for opening your home. You did a fabulous job and everything was beautiful. It's so awesome to see all of our kids grow up together. Carsen and Chloe had a blast jumping in the bounce house, digging in the sand, "mowing the lawn", and eating all the sweet treats! Carsen especially had fun with his " latest" Valentine, Campbell. They were so cute together. I've haven't seen these two this friendly since their first meeting. LOL! They ate lunch together in the same chair and went for a little "car ride" upstairs.

He is constantly keeping Travis and I in stitches. Some of his favorite sayings or phrases are.. " Not yet", "I can't" , What's up guys" and so many more. Carsen is ALWAYS concerned about Chloe. They act like twins most of the time. Neither one them like to be without each other. I love it when Chloe asks... "where's broder?". They melt my heart!!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ok so Carsen got a Dr's Kit from Uncle Vinny and Aunt Lindsay for Christmas. Carsen and Chloe both love it. Carsen is always checking her heartbeat, lung sounds, blood pressure and even takes the scope to look in her eyes, ears, nose and mouth. (Someone has been to the Doctor too much) Super impressive. And if you ask him what he's going to be when he grows up he says dogie doctor... Ha! Ha!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom this is a serious case...</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhulF8OGze0D1WAWvYjrj2vdkyvWQeW9LvpkSGspaLa1UPQWubreu_I6_3fxX9isgQpmvwd8LKkMwRQ20ENrFj1ZO4CeoWr0_TeOyDpe8flXD5cTEuM0taCmlpoleiIw-cT1OQf0P9XW1s/s400/IMG_8590.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568580037352949250" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Administering the shot!

As most you know Carsen has been potty trained since he was 26 months old. We only used pull ups at night which we have been rid of for quite some time now. Yes I'm bragging. Anyway I found this picture and it made me laugh out loud. One morning (when he was still in pull ups) I went into his room to get him and this it what I found. My first thought was laughter and run get camera (of course). Then my second thought was "oh no... is that the diaper he slept in, i.e, peed in?! " Yikes!!!! It wasn't.. he went and got it out of his drawer. He said his head was cold. This is just a glimpse his sense of humor. He did this for a few mornings because he got such a reaction from me. You got to LOVE this little guy!

He loves it and Chloe does too! Our nap and bedtime routines have been a little difficult but we are working out the kinks {clear throat}. I'm trying to stay positive. At least I get to spend more one on one time with my little guy... right? Carsen is now 2.5 and he's been potty trained for 4 months and now we have removed the pull ups at night. So I thought it was time to take him out of the baby bed. I have to admit I did shed a tear or two when we were carrying out the crib. So many memories. Like when I laid him in it for the first time at 1 year of age. Or how he threw up every night for 6 months because he didn't want to go to bed alone. Yea, I think its time to move on. I'm just sad to see my baby grow up so fast. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Carsen took part in putting his bed together.

We had an incredible time with the Whiteheads. I did realize one thing. I'm not in my 20's anymore. Although we lost the game it was an experience of a lifetime!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First stop "Port O Call" The best burger and baked potato that side of the Mississippi!

We would sing Christmas carols and play games in the car. So when my friend Stacie came up with the AWESOME idea of taking there trailer full of hay through Deerfield, I was totally on board. We started out the evening tailgating with some pizza (thanks Liz) and then off we were. Stacie made hot chocolate for everyone and a little Bailey's spike for the adults (you know to keep us warm). We had such a great time. Definitely put me in the Christmas Spirit. Carsen and Chloe were so excited to see all the lights and different characters surrounding the houses. Carsen would sing "Jingle Bells" and "Santa is Coming to Town". I'm assuming he learned all these songs at school. I only taught him Rudolph last year LOL! </div><div><br /></div><div>I say lets make this a CHRISTMAS TRADITION.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Carsen getting down on some pizza!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXU27N0AOVB9F75xE2RhNf-fEQ13QAC-2TejUK4DXN4siiN8YadKvW9e_0F5r-UlW60_02UkqyQfJiE7gVM2afmwHEqkKbMZLLsnuV0nzrV8JewxpA-NoL4dasCH-AZeRyzDIYXeVZ_4/s1600/IMG_8432.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXU27N0AOVB9F75xE2RhNf-fEQ13QAC-2TejUK4DXN4siiN8YadKvW9e_0F5r-UlW60_02UkqyQfJiE7gVM2afmwHEqkKbMZLLsnuV0nzrV8JewxpA-NoL4dasCH-AZeRyzDIYXeVZ_4/s400/IMG_8432.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555518686951520290" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The crew all loaded up!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUPhuWWdM-VmxdXTeYsW_M5TL5wzBvjXdacB_5SoD0ydhYCtPbuxD9Sr_AeehZiat2p4hoYonuW_lq8_5IuFVZNB6gAaSbLqrqtz4isp4C2AGz2SHHYfNpMI-Zi_o1L4zFym4alhEgLLg/s1600/IMG_8475.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUPhuWWdM-VmxdXTeYsW_M5TL5wzBvjXdacB_5SoD0ydhYCtPbuxD9Sr_AeehZiat2p4hoYonuW_lq8_5IuFVZNB6gAaSbLqrqtz4isp4C2AGz2SHHYfNpMI-Zi_o1L4zFym4alhEgLLg/s400/IMG_8475.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555518239269303586" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Carsen and Caitlin hanging out all night together.
