Spring Break

Carson spent the week playing with his cousin Jake. They wanted to play outside ALL the time. It wasn't always great weather, but they didn't care, they played in those tire swings for days!

A hard day's play to get feet like that:)

This was the sunset of the warmest day of Spring Break we had. I wish it would stay!

A Day at Jumpin Jacks

Last week during Spring Break, My Aunt Terry and I took our kids to Jumpin Jacks to play for a while. Carson took one look at this Dragon Slide and got so scared. He was NOT going to go inside its mouth....so hilarious! He watched lots of other kids go inside and finally decided that he might be able to go inside too. This was the first time I have gone there. Carson loved it!


He was tackling this tree!

Mission Accomplished!

In February I bought Carson a big boy bed, hoping that he would be excited to sleep in it, and would stay in his own bed at night. Uh...No. Night after night he would get out of his bed wanting to sleep with me. Thanks to Super Nanny I got the great idea of just tucking him back in bed time and time again, as long as it took, until he finally stays. And the key is to only say goodnight once, then after that, I would just pick him up and quietly put him back in his bed. Some nights it went on forever. I probably put him back in his bed twenty times, and it was really hard for me not to give in. But the rewards are phenominal! The last few weeks I have even looked forward to putting him in his bed, because he is so sweet to tell me goodnight and go right to sleep.

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Tomorrow, April 9th we'll be married 3 years! How the time flies by! I love looking back at this day and remembering how happy, and excited we were to be married!




We're off to our journey ahead!
And yes, it's been quite a journey for Colby and I. We've had some really great experiences these last few years. Some very happy, some very difficult. But it's been through the most hard things that we have grown and become better people. I have to say that I am very grateful for my marriage and the Joy, and the challenges it brings me everyday!

Easter 2008

Carson & Grandpa

All the cousins with Aunt Kim

Easter this year was a lot of fun! When Carson woke up we did an Easter Egg hunt around our house, which was hilarious! Sunday afternoon we had dinner at my Mom's and an Easter Egg hunt out in the backyard for all the grandkids. All of Carson's Aunts and Uncles were helping him search for eggs. It was a really great time!

Road Trip!

So we headed South, to the great Las Vegas! Carson, Uncle Mike, Auntie Meg, and I. It was quite the trip. SO much to do, so little time. My highlight was taking Carson to see the Sharks at Mandalay Bay. He was so intrigued! I love to see his face light up like that. It has been almost 3 weeks since we went and he is still telling everyone that he saw Sharks! I didn't know if there would be much for Carson to do in Las Vegas, but we took him every where with us. On the strip to the water show, the M&M factory, the forum shops, Townsquare to H&M (yay for their awesome children's park!) My arms only lasted so long when Carson was tired wanting to be held, I noticed the longer I held him, the faster I would walk. You know when you feel the burn? ......Thank goodness for Uncle Mike. He helped out with Carson a ton! It was really nice to stay with Colby's dad, Dave and Donna. Thanks for your hospitality in always having us. It's always great to see you guys! This was the funnest time I have ever had in Vegas, I decided only one thing could have made it more perfect.......Colby. We missed ya!
