Our Weekend

My Best Friend, Alyson came up this weekend with her little boy, Dominick. He and Carson get along very well. They are so cute to watch! Although Dominick does speak a lot better than Carson (he's 9 months older), they really do communicate great! I can't get over how much Carson is talking lately. He repeats almost everything. Though, somethings are still hard to figure out unless you speak Carsoniese. I asked him today what he did with this sucker and he said "Trash Mama, Trash". Sure enough he thrown it in the trash.

Back to our weekend with Alyson...I don't know what I would have done without her here! I had to have her follow me to the dealer to pick up my car because they were supposed to service it and rotate my tires, though my tires were so bad that I had to replace them. So, first we had to take back the rental, pick up my car, go to 3 different tire places till I found the tires that my car needed. They last place STILL didn't have them but they went and picked them up in Princeton. Whew! They were expensive, but at least we got a free turkey. ;P

Then we took the boys to the mall. Carson unfortunately had to get a haircut at the mall. This would be the first time his Papa didn't cut it. But I was desperate and didn't want to have to drive an hour and half. I hope my dad understands. And dad, if you are reading this....you do a much better job!!

After the haircut we took the boys to the playground area at the mall. I really love to take Carson there when its cold outside. He really gets to run of some energy. And speaking of that...you should see that Dominick go!! It was really fun for them.

Carson really gives Jones a run for his money. LOL

Funny story....I was trying to get Carson to lay down after Dominick and Alyson left this morning. I could hear him in his room crying for me, so after awhile I looked out in the hall to check on him. There he was hanging on the gate to his room (it is much needed when he sleeps) with his cowboy hat on saying "E Haw, Mamma, E Haw". How could I be mad??? :)

BTW, for those of you who didn't know, Carson is now in a big boy bed. It works out great! I just transformed his baby bed to a day bed and added the railing, so he doesn't fall off. And then while he sleeps I put a baby gate at his door. When he is ready to go to bed he will get in bed all by himself now. He is such a big boy!!!

Prayers

I wanted to thank everyone who had Carson in their prayers while he was sick. And BOY was he sick! His fever got as high as 103.7 and he had one for 4 days. He went back to the doctor on Monday. Dr. Rogers said his tonsils were red and there were patches on them, which were common for that type of viral infection. He still has a bit of a cough and an occasional runny nose. He lost some weight, but he's getting back to normal. It is just taking longer than I would have hoped. But everyday is better for him.
POOR SICK BABY

Poor Sick Baby

I know I haven't blogged yet this week. I just got my camera back last night from my mom. So, I will try later today to post some pics.

Carson is feeling awful today. He woke up with a 102 temp. So far this morning I brought it back down to 100. Poor baby. We are supposed to go to a friends house on Sat and go to the Children's Museum, but it doesn't look good today. :( Keep Carson in your thoughts in Prayers.

Missing Camera

I just wanted to let everyone know I will be posting something soon.

It's a Girl!

Well, as most of you know we found out a couple weeks that we were having a girl while we were in Idaho. I wanted Nick to be there when we found out, so Colleen (Nick's mom) made us an apt with a friend she works with at the hospital. But, today I had my apt with my doctor here in Newburgh. And they give you a disc, so it's easy for me to put pics on my blog. They said she looks really great. Everything is as it should be. And she was wonderful for her photo shoot. She let them see everything they needed. They can even tell by pics how much she weighs (13.4 oz). I absolutely can not wait to meet her!!

Trick or Treating

Here's the Halloween pics that I promised to put on here. Unfortunely I don't have any of Grant (My cousin Casie's son). We had such a good time, but it was hard work. Luckily when we got to Beth's (we go to church with her) she let us borrow some wagons. That was a life saver! We actually walked around for 2 1/2 hours! Carson ate 4 suckers while we were out. He loved them!!!! Oh, and the other little fairy princess is Ms. Hallie Ann (My cousin Nicole's daughter). They were all so very sweet together. After we were done getting Candy we went up town and joined the costume contest. This year Grant won the contest. He was a lion. So cute! Then we had some chili at the Lions Club. All and All it was an awesome night!!!!

CHUCK E CHEESE

Just a couple pics from the other night at what Carson calls "CH Cheese". They had so much fun!! Seriously though, they should make the food there better because no kid can eat in that place. There is so much going on. They did play lots of games and won 220 tickets. Which got them some suckers, stickers, lizards, rings, and a game. Too Cute!
