Apology

It has come to my attention that I don't blog enough. I am fully aware of the issue. Unfortunately our computer won't let me upload any photos at the present time. I'll try again later today. Deborah, I know today is my deadline! It will happen! I promise.

Noah's Pirate Party

Noah had his 4th birthday party yesterday. It was a pirate theme. Carson had lots of fun eating rocks, following older cousins, playing in the bouncer and he especially enjoyed the cupcake Uncle Justin gave him. You might notice the bruises on Carson's forehead. They are a constant reminder to me that he is still learning to walk and balance himself.

Happy Halloween

Now is that an adorable giraffe or what?? I saw this costume and thought it was perfect for Carson. He was a good sport while we paraded him around to see family. He even recognized and laughed at Grandma Gail when he saw her.

Freestone Park

Carson loves going to the park. We like to stroll down in the morning and go for a swing.

Jeans

Now that the weather is finally getting cooler Carson gets to wear his winter clothes. He started walking a few weeks ago and seeing him cruise along in his little jeans makes me laugh. I just think they are so dang adorable! It helps to have this super cute kid wearing them too!

Dad's Little Buddy

We finally had to get a new dishwasher (yea!). While Matt was hooking things up Carson got right in there to see what was going on. He would crouch down next to Matt and just watch.

King of the Castle

Hey everyone.... I'm 1 now!

Freestone Railroad

Our happy little guy taking a train ride with Grandma on his birthday.

Grandma & Grandpa Woolf

Grandma and Grandpa Woolf with Carson on his birthday. My mom has great taste in children's books and Carson got some classics!

New Slide

Grandma and Papa got Carson this slide for his birthday. He had a great time playing over at their house (like always) with his new toy. Oh and Carson does not usually wear socks up to his knees, but it did allow him to slip down the slide without sticking and he loved it.

Happy 1st Birthday Carson!

Carson turned ONE on Sunday! We had a birthday party for him at the park. Lots of family and friends were there to celebrate his big day. I can hardly believe a whole year has come and gone. We just love love love this little guy.

Torreon

Last week we went up for a one night stay at Torreon with Matt's boss and his family. This time we took Carson along for the fun.

You bet he can!

Carson will put ANYTHING in his mouth...including this golfball. He's so talented. Ha.

How can I help Mom??

Check him out...already wanting to help with the chores! I turned around for two seconds to put something in the cupboard and I looked back to find Carson sitting up in the dishwasher.

Super Saturday Scrapfest

Talk about a fun Saturday!! I went to 12 power hours of scrapbooking fun last night down at my favorite scrapbook store. It was a total blast. I came home with a huge smile on my face and super cute pages! (Natalie, you'd be so proud!) I even won the vote and prize for cutest page done all day. Sometimes I laugh because I feel like I'm part of some weird organization of ladies who tote suitcases full of every imaginable supply down to the local scrapbook store to create layouts and frantically try to put every possible pictured moment onto a piece of 12x12 paper. Let's be completely honest - weird or not - I still love it! It's what I do and what I love. I just wish I had more time to do it and I wish I had a room completely devoted to supplies so everything isn't jammed into the office closet. Someday. Thanks to a wonderful husband who bonded with our little guy for 12 hours in order to let me have a day of scrapbooking fun!

Daddy's Hat

Carson loves his daddy's hat. He sees that Matt has it on and starts smiling and wanting to touch it. Of course he won't keep his own baseball hat on that I purchased for him.

Too Quiet

You know when the house gets really quiet something is probably wrong. Matt got home the other day and it was a little too quiet. This is what he found when he walked into our bathroom. Apparently I hadn't closed the bathroom door all the way. Carson thought he'd do a little work on the toilet. He was squealing with delight. Who knows....maybe he'll go into plumbing. Ha.

Tight Spot

Carson got himself into a tight spot here. If he could talk I think he'd be saying, "I've fallen and I can't get up." I'm glad Matt whipped out the camera and captured this funny moment.

Cruisin'

Carson is becoming quite the master of his walker. He cruises around the house sometimes getting so excited that he moves a little too fast and crashes. He laughs and has a great 'ol time. After this particular shot he sat down and proceeded to pee on the carpet. We couldn't even be mad. We just laughed.

Freeze Frame

It's not often that I get to be in a picture with Carson. I can't think of any other way I'd like to spend my time. It's hard to believe he is almost one. I wish I could freeze time and have him stay like this forever. He is so much fun and loves to laugh and explore. While we were out in the grass he'd crawl away and wasn't so sure about the grass, so he'd crawl right back into my arms.
