Itsy Bitsy Spider Carsen Style...

Ok... This video is random but so cute.  I'm not sure when Carsen picked all of this up  but I was amazed. I mean I sing these songs to him but he's never really reacted to them. He really is paying attention to everything around him. I guess I really need to start watching myself even more. He is also starting to mock people. For example we were over at our neighbors the other day and she started to laugh... well he started to laugh like her. So fake. She said is he mocking me? Yup! I just know someday real soon he is  going to bust out in full conversation. Crazy stuff. 

I missed the very beginning of this song... oops I had no idea he could do it.

Travis's 40th Birthday Extravaganza

My sweet hubby turned 4o last weekend and I must say he had the best birthday celebration EVER! He started the festivities on Thursday night when some of the guest arrived. I did not take part in the late night out but I heard  it was lots of fun. The next day Travis and all his buddies played golf all day. Travis and Daniel won the scramble against Chip, Michael, David, Trey, and Danny. His official Birthday was Friday. We had dinner at his favorite restaurant, Mi Cocina. Table for 3o please! YIKES and this was all family.  Here are a few pictures from the night!

The best gift EVER!!! Scotty Cameron Titleist putter.  This should help his game.... yea right!

Travis's Uncle Roger and Aunt Janet made the trip for the occasion.

Saturday night was the big party at Cape Buffalo. This consisted of around 70 friends and family.  Travis smiled from ear to ear all night.  There was drinking, dancing, pool shooting and dart playing.  Awesome night.  The band played top 40 music from the 80's and 90's. Travis felt right at home.  LOL!  Along with a few others. Good times....

Now for the real party!!! 

Who's this hottie with my husband? Oh wait, that's my sister! I'm watching you Tree

Having a great time.... David and Teresa

Dennett Vacation Trifecta Part III ATLANTA, GA

Last leg of the trifecta.... Atlanta GA 

OK... So now we are going to drive 5 hours to see our dear friends Matt, Melissa, and Kennedy.  This is the first time in a year that we have been able to get our kids together to play. Carsen and Kennedy are only 6 weeks apart. They had a blast with each other. It was like they had grown up together. And yes, my child loves to give hugs and kisses. How could you not give a million to Kennedy? She's the cutest little girl.  We had so much fun in Atlanta. The guys got to play golf and Melissa and I hung out with the kids and got caught up. We did manage to get in our traditional Mani/Pedi's. LOL! 

Carsen and Kennedy! Together at last!

Such the little gentleman. She would drop the cheerio and then he would pick it up and eat. This went on for days. Then he just showed her how to dump them all out. Way more fun that way.

His kisses are sweet. But his hugs can be dangerous. BTW... Kennedy can hold her own. 

This hug started out sweet but ended up in a wrestling match. He never knows when to stop the hug. :-) She was a trooper.

Their first meal together... green beans and turkey! Yummy!

Our big date night!

The four of us having some adult time. It's been too long. 

Our trip to Target. Aren't they cute?!

Anything Carsen played with Kennedy wanted to play with too! So they shared. This was Carsens favorite toy while we were there.  I don't think they ever got mad or fought with each other the whole time. Perfect little angles. 

The weather was so nice we took the kids to the park. I'm not sure how I fit in this with two babies. I just wanted to see what my future had in store. 

Our good bye lunch.... :-( 

Travis in a year.... 

Thanks Matt and Melissa for your awesome hospitality. We enjoyed our time together. Let's not wait another year before we see each other again. We love and miss you! 

Dennett Vacation Trifecta Part II HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC

Hilton Head Island was a tropical paradise. I really didn't know what to expect about the east coast. I've always gone to the pacific side or the Gulf of Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised. This beach was made for Carsen. He just started walking 2 weeks ago and now that's all he wants to do. He was all over the beach. Nothing seemed to phase him. He learned how to dig in the sand and put it in his bucket. He also learned how to eat the sand. He didn't seem to mind it.  Overall I give the vacation a perfect 10. The weather was incredible. Highs were in the 80's. I have a lot pictures from this leg of the vacation so I hope you enjoy them. 

Carsen's first walk on the beach. 

When we got there it was low tide. So it made it easier for Carsen to play in the water without freaking out. 

Ok. Now we are getting braver. 

Mommy showing Carsen how to dig in wet sand. He was so cute!

I Love the Beach!

Carsen had sand EVERYWHERE! 

Look Mommy... I want to leave my mark in the sand. 

Where are those darn crabs hiding?

Mary teaching Carsen how to fly his first kite. Spider man 

Mommy and Daddy chillaxin...

Carsen would find and play with anything. Very self entertaining.

The family... Carsen was not in the mood. He wanted to head for the water.

Carsen and Daddy hanging out on the lifeguard stand... too cute!

I love this picture.  This captured the moment just right.

Me at 25 weeks. 

The essence of Carsen. 

Another favorite shot... 

 My social butterfly.  Everyone would stop us and make a comment about the color of his hair. Other kids on the beach would want to play with him.  Such a friendly family enviroment.
