Merry Christmas

As you can see our happy little guy didn't really appreciate Santa this year. I thought we had him well prepped. Apparently not! Also notice that Santa does not look very jolly. I think this is because kids freak out like this when they are left to sit on his lap and also because the lady at the cash register told him we weren't paying for a picture package but opted to take the photos ourselves. Note to self...if you want Santa to smile you have to pay the $15. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Tonopah

We woke up this morning and asked each other what we were going to do. Matt's idea was to take a drive. He had some appraisal pictures to take out in Tonopah. I'd never been, so we made it a family outing. I have no idea who lives out in Tonopah! It is WAY out there. It was nice just to be with Carson and Matt though. I did get a little cranky on the way back when food exits were close and I desperately needed my Mt. Dew fix for the day.

Carson really enjoyed seeing the horses when he got to Tonopah. He walked right up and said "hi horsey" and made sure we "gooked" (looked) too.

Don't grow up!

Do we have a cute kid or what!? Matt took this picture on Sunday morning before church. I think it might be my new favorite. I just don't want him to grow up.

Sunday Drive

Sunday we took a drive down to the Mesa Cemetery. My mom died twenty-one years ago last week and we thought it would be nice to take Carson down to put flowers on her headstone. Carson and I originally bought flowers to take, but last week it was either raining or too dark by the time Matt got home and the flowers didn't last long enough. I like to think Carson was with my mom before he came to us. I want Carson to remember he has another grandmother who loves him even though she can't be here with us. I'm lucky to have several mothers in my life and Carson is lucky to have several grandmothers. So in the Evans house we will continue to talk about "Mommy Kathy" and show him her picture so he always knows about his grandmother in heaven smiling down on him too.

I am one lucky girl. Love you Matt!

"Tiss"

Carson loves to give "tisses" and I love it. If he gives a kiss he's sure to give a hug too and throw in little pat on your back. Lately he'll just run up to me, hug my leg and go back to playing. I know he won't always think I'm the greatest, so I'll always have this picture to whip out as a reminder that once upon a time he thought the world of me.

Hide 'n Go Seek

It was Carson's turn to hide from Matt. Matt found him a few times and then got side tracked talking to me. We realized it was really quiet and went to find Carson. Apparently he got tired of hiding and fell asleep in Matt's closet. It's been about ten minutes now and Carson just woke up from his little nap. I just heard Carson say, "Daddy, I'm hiding." Little does Carson know Matt is out getting Taco Bell. Carson will probably still be hiding when he returns.

Spice Girls

The Spice Girls

Jessie, Deborah, me and Megan (Lauren was there but refused to have her picture taken, so she was the photographer) It was fun to get together with the girls over Thanksgiving. We got pedicures and went to Paradise Bakery. We were planning on going to the Spice Girls Reunion tour in Las Vegas, but Megan will be in Hawaii and Jessie is about to have another baby. Oh the memories! We sure did have lots of fun in high school (college too!).

Talk about CUTE!

This picture is now a personal favorite. He is so stinkin' cute. I think we need to purchase him a hat just like this one for Christmas! He borrowed this one from his cousin Hunter. Again, hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. Now on to Christmas. Let the holiday cheer begin!

The day is not complete...

...without a bath in Grandma & Papa's sink. Carson was SOOOOO amazingly dirty after our Thanksgiving festivities. It is so hard to get him clean because of his cast. Notice his arm on the counter. I have to wrap it in a plastic bag, cover it in a towel and still watch him carefully. He is slowly out growing the sink, but he LOVES it.

More!

This first pictures makes me laugh because this is what Carson does when Matt watches The Office. The tune comes on, Carson puts his hand in a first and pumps it up and down to the beat. Our brother-in-law, Brian thinks we need to get it on video and send it to them.

Thanksgiving

We had a very Happy Thanksgiving and hope you did too! Most of my family was in town so we spent a majority of our time with them. We had Thanksgiving over at Liza & Justin's house. My parents rented this huge bouncer to keep the kids entertained. I wasn't really happy about Carson being in there with his broken arm, but it looks like he really enjoyed being wild with the cousins and his dad.

Fort

I came home last week and Matt had built this fort for Carson. He loved it. He loves to hide. I love having a little boy!

Chief Carson

Earlier this month my mom did a cute Family Home Evening about Thanksgiving. She made the boys these bands to wear. I was supposed to add feathers. I knew that wouldn't last for more than two seconds so I opted not to.

Later in the day I took Carson to get yet another cast. He is doing well and we hope to have this thing of in the near future!

I know, Halloween has come and gone!

Yes, these Halloween pictures are a little late. Anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and post them. We went over to Freestone Park the Saturday for Halloween with Jared & Nicole Cronin and their two girls, Audrey and Livvy. This little train was totally worth the two tickets. Carson and Audrey loved it!

One of my very best friends, Nicole Cronin.

I love this picture. Carson and Matt are so fun to watch together. How cute is this!?

Funny kid!

This kid sure makes us laugh. He has been saying the funniest things lately. For example... we were driving in the car and Carson says, "Mommy, I funny....okay." We just walked in the door from running errands and Carson says, "Hello anyone here?" He then procedes to walk through the house to make sure no one is here and continues to repeat the phrase above in every room. I love this kid! He's my sidekick. He's my little buddy. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh and by the way I think my husband is a fabulous photographer! He gets the greatest shots of Carson. Someday I'll buy him a 40D. Love you Matt!

Holiday Open House

I'm having a Scentsy Holiday Open House this Saturday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. If you haven't seen what this is all about COME and see. People have been asking about ordering Christmas gifts and a few more things for themselves before the holidays. This is the time to do it. FREE shipping. There will be raffles, food and of course lots of fun! Hope to see a few of you there! Click on the invitation above to view it larger. Spread the word to your family and friends also!

Skeleton

Oh he was just so darling in his costume.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Halloween!!

Check out our skinny skeleton! Here he is doing his best scare. Because I mention he is skinny this might be a funny time to share that he is in the 10th percentile for weight, 10th percentile for height and 75th percentile for his head. Gotta love those Woolf heads. Pretty darn cute if you ask me!! Oh and his lips are blue because he had just finished his millionth sucker of the day.

Tools & other random fun

This guy has a love for tools. He can often be found with hammer in hand. He even loves to sleep with a tool or two.
Here he is loading up his tricycle with tools.
Now jumpin' on for a whirl around the backyard. He actually can't go anywhere just yet. We are still working on that.
