Howdy, y’all! Special thanks goes out to everyone who helped make this cowboy party so very wonderful! There is no way I could have pulled it off alone, and it wouldn’t have been so great without all the family and friends who came out to celebrate. Thanks for making Carson’s 1st birthday party such a … [Read more…]
I remember a year ago today perfectly. At exactly this time 1 year ago, Carson wasn’t officially here yet. We were at BSA, and had been there since about 7am. Carson didn’t arrive until 9:58pm. People always make a terrible face when I tell them this. You were in labor ALL DAY? We went to … [Read more…]
Getting Carson in this outfit and snapping some shots of my sweet little crab (or at least what we think is a crab…it’s a confusing costume) was all we did for Halloween this year. I thought about trick-or-treating around the circle my parents live on, and then eating the goodies myself. But that felt a … [Read more…]
When I started writing this post I noticed 2 drafts in my WordPress. One draft for 10 months, and one draft for 11 months. I have not been keeping up. I blame it on my ever increasingly mobile child. Is it bad to blame things on your kid? I think it is. So I guess … [Read more…]
Just some examples of what Carson got himself into today. I do not look forward to some of the tumbles, busted lips, and broken household items that are inevitably in our future…
Carson has been army crawling for some time now. Here are some shots from yesterday afternoon. He’d crawled into the dining room, so I went in there with the camera and sat on the floor in front of him. The camera was a great incentive for him to crawl over to me. He’s grabbing for … [Read more…]
9 months and 9 days, actually. But the day after Carson’s 9 month birthday we were on our way back from California for my cousin Katie’s wedding. In the Denver airport on our way to catch our connecting flight to Amarillo Ben was offered a job in Houston, which he accepted. So, we will be … [Read more…]
Summer is wearing on me. It’s simply too hot. It’s next to impossible to enjoy being outside anytime after 10am. If we have to run errands I am a sweaty mess by the time we get in the car, out of the car, grocery shop, in the car, out of the car…you probably get the … [Read more…]
Last night we went with friends to see some live music at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens. It is beautiful here despite the drought and ridiculously hot temps we’ve had this summer. Look at that green grass! Carson enjoyed playing with it. This type of grass was new to him, since most of our grass at … [Read more…]
Our little man is changing all the time! It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 months already. I’ll probably be saying that phrase forever, just inserting whatever age he is at the time. Carson loves his best buddy Ginger! That love isn’t captured very well here… Here are some of Carson’s latest developments. At 8 … [Read more…]
