Yearly Update

2009-05-02T11:08:00.003-05:00

I know, I am still terrible at keeping our blog updated. I am going to try to post more often than once a year:) Our weekend at Grams and Paw Paws House

Summer Fun

2008-08-03T16:59:00.003-05:00

Here are some cute pics from the summer thus far. Cason colored on Cole one day for entertainment. We also welcomed a nephew into the family....Banner Paul Carlson. Cason learned how to ski a few weeks ago and he loves it. He wants to do it over and over and over! He is such a big boy now. Cole is saying new words every week and is getting so much personality. He used to be very laid back, but is seeming to become his own little person now. He is still so sweet and it is amazing how quickly they are both growing up.

Yes, I'm behind!

2008-05-27T18:08:00.004-05:00

Ok, I confess! I am terrible about blogging! So, here are some pics of our most up to-date events. Cason is now 2 and a half and is so busy. He loves to be outside and just being busy! He loves to swim so he is now in swim lessons and is doing great. Cole just turned 1 in May and is such a sweet baby. He is just now getting his top teeth in and is still not in any rush to crawl. Both kids are so opposite! I just know that if Cole could talk that he would be telling Cason to slow down and to lower his voice! Cason talks all the time and he speaks very loudly. Ky and I are constanly laughing because the kids are so funny! I have uploaded a video of Cole eating his Birthday dessert! His Birthday celebration is a funny story. I was not planning on having a party for Cole, but then I thought about the fact that he would not have any pictures in his baby book from his first birthday. I then realized what a terrible mom I would have been if I did not have any pics from his first Birthday, so I got creative. Ky's dad and brother were planning a grand opening celebration for their new boat business on Lake Conroe. I knew that Jackson and Marissa (the kids cousins) would be there, so I told them that we were going to bring a balloon, candle, and dessert and we could sing "Happy Birthday" and take some pictures. So, thats what we did. They had a wonderful tent out on the lawn for the grand opening and they catered BBQ. It was wonderful weather and the kids had fun. Cammi and I got a big laugh at the whole thing. What can I say, at least I was creative and I now have pictures of this 1st birthday.

Which egg doesn't belong?

2008-02-21T09:32:00.004-06:00

My Grams & Paw Paw brought me 8 dozen eggs yesterday from her chickens in Nacogdoches! She said there was a special egg in one of the cartons. It is really, really big. It had a double yolk and they were both really large! My mom and I cooked it for breakfast this morning. We took some pictures to document this exciting discovery!

The aftermath of Marti

2008-02-21T09:26:00.003-06:00

Last night I went to go play with my trains and I discovered a little problemo with my el traino! Mommy said that Marti must have played with the train when she was at our house. Here is a picture of my poor pitiful train! I will tell Marti next time I see her "You know better!" Cason

A day with Grams & PawPaw

2008-02-21T09:14:00.002-06:00

My Grams and Paw Paw came to see me yesterday. I had so much fun with them! We put on our walking shoes I took them on a tour of the neighborhood twice! We took Marti (their dog), Macy & Millie. I think that I wore them out. PawPaw pulled me in my wagon and we threw balls for the dogs. PawPaw let me train Marti with a pretend duck. What a busy day we had. Here are some pics from our fun day.

The New office

Here are some pics of the new office during the construction! These are from a few weeks ago, and much has been accomplished since then!

Where does time Go?

2008-02-11T10:08:00.002-06:00

Yes, I am way behind on updating our blog page. I am not sure where time goes, but it is in a shortage here at our house. Cole is now 8 months old so I am posting his 7 month picture as well as his 8 month pic. Cason just recently started going to a "school" 2 days a week for a few hours. He really enjoys it and is learning so many new things each time he is there. The school is literally five minutes from our house so Ky and I are able to trade off taking and picking him up. Cason makes me laugh so much! He is always doing and saying the funniest things. We have begun potty training and that is for the birds! He has almost mastered the "PP" but going "number 2" is like climbing Mount Everest. He'll get there one day. His favorite CD to sing in the car is the Veggie Tales "Jonah." He is so precious singing the songs....the other day it melted my heart to hear him singing songs that tell of God's promises. Cole and I get caught up on house work, grocery shopping, and sometimes we just chill together while Cason is at school. Cole is still not in any rush to crawl although he is sitting up very well . He is still so laid back and is happy to have a full tummy and to be well rested. What more can I ask for! This has been a challenging few months for Ky as he is transitioning to his new office. We purchased a home in a commercial area and are remodeling it to be his clinic. Ky has learned to have much patience in dealing with contractors and workers! We are blessed to have a wonderful builder who has done a fabulous job with the project. The move in date is set for the last weekend in February. We are very excited about the changes and are thankful for all of God's direction and guidance in the process. I hope to post again soon, but we will just take one day at a time!

Cason Turns 2 and Cole is 6 months

2007-11-27T16:23:00.000-06:00

Cason had a "dog" birthday party to celebrate his 2nd birthday. We had a really fun time, but little Cason was not his normal self that day. He really was not interested in his party (not even his cake) and later that day he did have fever. So, the rest of us had a great time visiting and eating some yummy hamburgers and delicious cake. He ended up with a cold and sweetly passed it to his brother and mommy. Cason is growing up to be such a big boy. He is singing so many songs and is learning more and more. After the kids are asleep at night Ky and I talk about the funny things that Cason says and does during the day. We laugh so hard when we reminisce. Cole turned 6 months and he is an absolute cutie. He really has been a pretty easy baby thus far. He is talking more and more but is not in any rush to get his teeth or crawl. He is so laid back. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Fun at the hayride! By Cason Carlson

2007-10-20T15:59:00.000-05:00

By Cason Carlson: Cole and I got to go help Doc and Granny with their annual hayride! We were such big helpers! There were lots things that needed to be taken care of when I got there. There were ants that needed to be killed, cows that needed to be checked on, and lots more. I I helped Doc with the tractor and I also helped my cousin Matt with the hay. Cole really was not much help. Granny and mommy had to entertain him alot! Here are some pictures that I thought you all would enjoy. If anyone of you needs help with your next event, just call my mom....she does all my booking! Love Cason

It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Super Cason!

2007-10-17T20:24:00.000-05:00

OK, I have the cutest kid ever! We went to a little boys birthday party and the theme was super heros. Each child got a cape and Cason really liked his!

Cole is 4 months old

2007-10-10T07:29:00.000-05:00

I can't believe it! How time goes by so quickly with two little boys. Cole is now rolling over and is starting to get a few teeth in. He is such a laid back baby. We got to spend some time with our dear friends from California the other day. Cason spent the day with his GiGi and Grandpa, cousins Sam and Sydney, and Aunt Jennifer from Oklahoma while we spent the day at the mall and Market Street with Chad and Carly. It was one of my first times to get to spend with Cole without his big brother. We had such a wonderful time and he was a really sweet baby that day. We strolled around the mall and market street and ate some really yummy food that day. Cason is learning so much and is becoming more independant. He loves to push his tractors around the backyard and play with the dogs outside. He is counting to 15 and is learning it in Spanish as well. It is super cute to hear that! He is learning simple bible verses and is singing songs like "Jesus Loves me", "I've got the Joy Joy", "This little light of mine", and of course "The Wheels on the Bus." I had no idea that he could be learning so much in such a small amount of time. He will be starting the childrens program at Bible Study Fellowship next month when he turns two. This is such a great program for children as he will be learning what I will be learning in Bible Study but on a childs level. They have so much fun! Ky's brother L.P. recently got married and I have to say that Cason stole the show that day. Sorry Uncle P! Cason walked down the aisle with another little boy, but as soon as he saw his Uncle P at the end, he took off running to see him. It was so sweet that he had a few of us in tears. It was such a great memory! Overall, we are so very blessed with two wonderful boys and are continually grateful for God's goodness in our lives.
