Day Out with Thomas

Carson had a blast yesterday with Thomas!! He rode the train and got a bunch of Thomas stuff. When you leave, they make you exit through a huge tent with everything Thomas you can imagine. Needless to say- we came out with a bunch!! Thomas umbrella, Thomas hat, 2 Thomas trains and Arthur the train. He raked in the goodies!! We went last year, but this was much better by far. He would see the train and start screaming!! It's like he was a teenager at a concert! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Busy Summer!!

Teague and Carson on July 4th

Brian's graduation day

Carson being goofy!!

This summer has been very busy for us. Carson and I went to Texas for Easter and that is when it all began. My parents came out for Brian's graduation and we had a big party for Brian. He has to finish student teaching but not much longer. We see the light at the end of the tunnel!! In June, Brian and Carson went to California and Disneyland to see his Uncle Bill. I met my mom in New York City for a few days and saw the sights. I have to say that is one busy city!! I don't think I'll go back but it was fun. Erica and I went to the "Cake Bosses" Bakery and waited in line for 2 hours. It was good though!!

We are getting ready to go to Gunnison for the weekend for Brian's grandma's memorial service. She passed away in December but we waited until all the family could make it in July. When we get back, we are going to Texas for Brody's first birthday!! I am so excited. I told Carson that we were going and now all he talks about is Brody!! I will update with more pictures when we get back!! I hope everyone is having a awesome summer. I know we are!!

Casa Bonita

We decided to take Carson to Casa Bonita today. Brian didn't have to work or study so we took advantage. He liked the cliff divers and the puppet show but not the gorilla. The gorilla jumped towards us and ran by our table and his eyes got real BIG!! We were laughing at him. Then the gorilla was done with the show and waved to Carson and he held on tighter. We had a great, quiet weekend. I hope you enjoyed yours!

Carson, Duke and Bella

We went out to let the dogs run today and it was very windy!! We are hoping to go to the park tomorrow if the wind isn't blowing like it is today. Carson had a great time running around and got some energy out with the dogs.

"Fearless"

These are pictures from gymnastics today. Fearless is what one mom called Carson! I totally agree with that statement. He is not scared of anything and will get on anything. The other day I was cooking dinner and he was chasing the cat. Next thing I know, he is running across the kitchen table trying to get the cat! He will also jump off the back of the couch on to the floor! I am amazed at this boy!!

He is so crazy about trains and Thomas the Train right now. Everywhere we go he sees Thomas and has to have him! We have trains running out our ears. We went to the resale shop today and he got a big Thomas set and has been playing all day. He will also yell "TV" and that means he wants to watch Thomas.

We are getting very excited about our trip to Texas. We go the first weekend in March for my cousins wedding. I bought Carson the cutest outfit. I told my mom that he is my doll and I play dress up with him! ha!

Having fun!

Brian and I decided to take Carson to the Cherry Creek Mall today. They have an amazing play area in the middle of the mall. We had at California Pizza Kitchen and Carson had cheese pizza-he ate very good!! He doesn't eat well very often so we were excited. We then went and played. He loved all of the stuff he could crawl and jump off of. He would not slide down the slide but instead see how he could jump over it!! He is a boy who is a dare devil!!

SNOW!!

Dancing with his Mickey!

It finally snowed here this past week. Last year Carson did not like the snow and cried everytime we tried to put him in it. This year is a different story! He LOVED the snow. He thought it was really funny to make snowballs and throw them at me. I need to buy him a sled. I think he will really like going down the hills!! I have never been sledding so we will both get to try it for the first time.

COMMITTED!

Brian and I both have decided that we are going to become committed to God. We are going to read the entire bible in 365 days (on the kindle) and join a group at church. We have been enjoying our "comfort zone" for a little too long and we are going to branch out. Carson really enjoys going to church and learning about God. We want to set a good example for him and bring him up in a Godly home. I am trying to teach him "Jesus Loves Me" and it is so cute to hear him say some of the words.
