At the park with dad

One night last month, I went to dinner with a group of girlfriends, so Shea took the boys to the park. I was so impressed that he not only took the camera, but took some cute pictures too!

Caleb isn't afraid of going head-first down anything
A rare photo of them on the same toy!

Birthday Boy

Caleb turned 1 today! Aunt La-La and Kackie got us a zoo membership for a year so we took Kackie along with us for our first visit. Caleb looks ready to go!Carson couldn't spend a day outside without his shades.
It became obvious that we've spent a bit too much time on farm animals, because Carson kept wanting to call every animal he saw a cow, especially the elephants.
You can't tell, but those are giraffes in the background.
Riding the carousel with Kackie. He really wanted to ride the monkey (which is right in front of his leopard) but another little girl (who happens to go to our church) got to it before him. Maybe next time! Once the carousel started, he forgot all about it and waved to every person has he went past.
The playground provided all kinds of excitement, especially the slides.
Ok, so we actually went to the zoo on Friday and Caleb's birthday is on Saturday. We made it a week-end of festivities:) Now, on to the cake pictures! We were all expecting Caleb to dig into the cake immediately, but he was definitely hesitant. Here he's just checking out the icing to make sure it's worth it.
And it didn't take long for him to decide that it was!
"Victory! I just about finished off that enormous piece that mom gave me!" The pictures don't do it justice, but that was a rather large piece of cake. It was definitely big enough for 2 adults, and he easily finished off half of it.

Aunt La La saw these rain boots when she was shopping for Caleb's present and couldn't resist getting them for Carson, under the condition that we got a picture of him wearing them in his underwear, and nothing else! So I obliged, but only because she's family:)

Mr Studious

When the boys are at my parent's house, Carson always wants to wear my dad's reading glasses. So they ended up buying him his own pair so he could stretch them out, scratch them, do whatever a 2-yr wants to do with glasses. Here he's contemplating what he can get them to buy him next...

Thankfully the marker was a dry erase marker, so it wiped off easily.

Almost walking...

Caleb is 10 months now and on the verge of walking. He's been cruising around for a month or so, but just in the past week has he found the courage to let go of the furniture on his own initiative.



While Carson loved all his push-behind toys (he needed the security I guess), Caleb doesn't have much use for them...this is a rare photo of him pushing one. He's just ready to take off on his own.

Week-end in Jackson

Last month we spent the week-end in Jackson, TN to visit with Shea's sister and her family. No one entertains Carson quite like his cousin Bryson. They stayed busy bouncing on the trampoline....




Then Bryson gave Carson a wild ride in his gator. Carson thought he was big stuff splashing thru the puddles.

Lining things up

When I went into Carson's room yesterday to get him up from his nap, I walked into this....
obviously he was playing instead of napping


But what made me laugh out loud was that he had taken every pair of shoes out of the drawer and lined them up perfectly. He wasn't able to tell me the purpose of the line, but it was certainly straight. And if you know Carson, you know how he lines up everything, from his cars, to now, his shoes.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We stayed home this year and enjoyed our church service and lunch with my family. And yes, the boys are in matching outfits!

My 3 favorite guys!

Carson on his first Easter egg hunt. We hid a few eggs in the backyard and let him find them while we waited for lunch to be ready.
He did pretty good finding the eggs. I did put some candy in the eggs, but he was more interested in hearing the candy shake in the egg than actually eating it...for now anyway!
