Carson's first overnite!!!

Carson finally made it to his first Boy Scout overniter. As many of you know the whole scouting thing has been DRAMA for us. Scouts is on the same night as baseball....but to make a long story short--Dave talked to the Coach, he was kind enough to change practice nights, and Carson is now able to participate on Wednesdays with his pack. I was a little nervous to send him at first because he was going to be the only one without his dad there but with a little help from our Ward Family, things worked out great. Carson came home with lots of memories, new frienships, and two ticks. Hopefully he now has a new respect for the program....I know after seeing all of his signatures that I do!!!

Every once in a while I walk into the kitchen to find my girls doing dishes....doesn't happen often but when it does it puts a smile on my face. Who wouldn't want a live-in dishwasher this cute!!!

1-Ryleigh on her field trip to the Children's Museum....They had a FEDEX plane in there and Ryleigh was so excited to send this pic to her Dad. She sat in the cockpit and decided being a pilot just wasn't going to be her thing :)

2-So those of you who know my hair....know that it's thick, poofy, and never curls like this...just frizz curl. I went into visit my friend Jayme and she decided she was going to try a new technique on me....a relaxer and then hot rolling it and sitting under a blow dryer. For the first time (4 hours later) I felt like I had hair like everyone else. It only lasted for about 3 hours but I loved it. Victoria's Secret runway show...here I come--Not!!!!

3- We live in tornado alley....and most of the time I'm pretty calm with the whole weather thing, however this particular night I can honestly say I felt my house shaking...so off to the closet we went. Dave was out of town but we still managed. Luckily no harm was done and my kids ended up sleeping through the whole thing. Thanks Mom for being my weather man as my TV was out.

4-Cara on her field trip to the Memphis Botanic Gardens. Here she is trying her first and maybe last ever taste of caviar. She actually didn't mind it, but unless she has a different budget than most of us she probably won't be having caviar anytime soon.

Cara had a PTA performance up at the school last week. They sang three songs and presented their principal with a gift from the school (she's retiring). She did so good and I'm so bummed because I was holding Evan, and amongst his crazinees, I forgot to turn my flash on and the whole time I thought I was recording and never pushed record. So this is what I have....Sorry to the Grandma's, I really tried to get her singing. What a cutie she is!!!

We've got a SCOOTER!!!

So our little guy is on his way to crawling....I think just a few more weeks if not days, and we'll have a crawler.

Ryleigh......Baseball Ready!!!!!

NVS Dance Regional Team Competitive dance for this season has come to an end. Cara did so well and really learned so much more about the "sport" of dance. She has really fallen in love with it and just adores all of her little dance friends. Miss Kourtney did a wonderful job with these girls and has so much patience with them and their moms. I too really enjoyed getting to know the girls moms and the coaches. It's been fun for me to watch Cara grow in her talents and most of all to watch her interact with her friends and to see what a leader she is. We just love her and so admire the confidence she has within.

CHOW TIME!!!!!

This not so little guy of mine has definitely become a lover of solid foods. He started eating them right at 4 months. He was so big and I knew the formula just wasn't doing it for him anymore so we quickly moved him on. He takes after his big brother and is very fond of his sweet potatoes. I'm usually not a very routine person...however Evan is, especially when it comes to feeding time. This boy is eating up to 6 jars of baby food a day...like we say he needs to eat lots to fill that body up so he can hold that big old melon of his up haha!!!

This year we have a baseball player, a softball player and a t-ball player. As much as I complain about the constant chaufeurring, there's no place I'd rather be than at the ball park cheering my kids on. I love it!!! Many more ball playing pictures to come~

Evan and Daddy watching Carson play ball.....He'll be standing behind that home plate, hittin' balls before I know it....That's what scares me....Time flies by double when you have kids. I hate it!!!!

What do you do with the little guy when you're trying to do your hair and he's not cooperating....hey you've gotta do what works when you have little ones right!!!
