Cara's class made these cute tunics and headbands for Thanksgiving. We had to give her an Indian name and we decided to go with "Smile as bright as the Sun". We should have added TOOTHLESS to that though :) She loves kindergarten and I love watching the excitement she gets over celebrating the Holidays with her classmates.

Carson had a PTA performance at his school last week. It was optional and he begged me not to make him sing in it but I told him it's important to be a well rounded kid and he wasn't "too cool" to sing. He did a fine job and even though he may not admit it, I think he kind of likes performing. We'll see....

We've got a sleepwalker on our hands!

These pics are a little weird, but I just had to show these. Carson sleepwalks at least once if not twice a week. He sleeps right above our room so when we hear him jump off his top bunk we usually know we're in for a treat. The whole thing is just bizarre to me. Carson is way stronger than me and I've heard you shouldn't try to be forceful when they're asleep so I've learned the best way to get him back in bed is to gently tickle him on his sides and guide him back to his room. It seems to be working. Hopefully he'll grow out of this but it is pretty entertaining and Dave and I get a kick out of it!~

How easy is this~"Mom I want to take my training wheels off."....."K Ryleigh lets do it"....."Just look forward and don't stop pedaling."....Wallah, Done!...Seriously doesn't get any easier than that. She hasn't quit riding since.

So I was going through some old pics last night trying to get my photos organized when I ran across these. Seriously this boy of ours was meant to be a ball player. He's been eating and sleeping (literally) it up all his life. I mean look at that form at two years old. These totally crack me up!

So I've had a few people ask me recently if my daughters look like my sisters daughter....well I'll let you be the judge of that.
