Carson...Quite the ham

The pictures speak for themselves. :o)

Carson in the Snow

Today it snowed, AGAIN!!! The snow flakes were huge. Carson and I took advantage of the snowy weather and went out to play in it. He loved every minute of it and cried when it was time to go in.

Playing with Cousin Jack in MN

Last weekend we went to MN for Jack's birthday party. He will be 2 on Saturday! Can't believe how fast they grow up. Carson always has fun playing with Jack, even though they both had coughs.

Michigan Trip

This past weekend, we traveled to Warren, MI to see Troy and Cherie. We had a great time visiting with them! They are in a great church over there and we are excited to go back and see the church that they will be planting as an extension to the one they are in right now. Carson did great on the drive there and back again. We LOVE the DVD player!!! He learned what kitties say on the trip as well. When you ask him what a kittie says, he wrinkles his nose and makes a hissing sound. Troy and Cherie's cats don't really care for anyone other than them. They hiss at everyone else. Carson picked up on that and now hisses like a cat! :o) It's very cute!

Carson and Friends

Carson and friends, Makenzie and Makayla.

Wisconsin Dells November 07

Carson and I went to Wisconsin Dells the first weekend in November. We met up with my mom(Grandma)and Auntie Jess and Jack and Isabella. We had so much fun at the water parks. Carson was a little unsure at first, but soon loved the water. Jack loved every minute of it. I think he might be part fish! :o)

Carson the Pirate!

1st Plane Ride!

Saturday, we took Carson for his first plane ride!! Well, actually, he has been on 2 airline jets, but this was the first time being in a plane that Daddy was flying!! He loved it and wanted to touch everything. He was very intrigued by Caleb's headset. When we landed, we got out and I put him down and he ran back to the plane. We let him play inside for a little while and when it was time to go, he started crying. :o( He definitely is a boy after his daddy's heart. Both Caleb and I got a little teary that he liked it so much. Caleb can hardly wait to start teaching him how to fly! :o)

Apple Orchard

Saturday Caleb and I took Carson to Apple Hollar. We had fun walking through a corn maze and walking through Jack and the Bean Stalk (a maze through the apple trees with large story figures). Carson loved it when the apple tree branches touched him. He would just start to giggle. :o) We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the warm weather(70 degrees).

Apples...Yum!

All Smiles :o)

Cars and Trucks

Carson has been driving his cars and trucks around the house making vroom, vroom noises...it's very cute. He also is into throwing balls around-inside the house. Good thing we don't have breakables. :o) One last fun thing he's doing...taking his DVD's out of the DVD player. Yikes! What's a mother to do?!

Carson and His MN Cousins

Last weekend we went to MN again for a wedding. I took some pictures of the boys after they had french silk pie!!! :o) Also, some pictures of beautiful baby "Bella".

Lake Michigan

On Thursday we took Carson to Lake Michigan one last time before it gets cold. He loved playing in the sand and water. The water was very chilly but he didn't seem to mind it. The weather was warm and sunny, so we had to take advantage of it!! :o)

Not Walking!!

Well, Carson has decided that crawling is a lot faster than walking. If he would keep walking, he would soon find out that walking is faster, but until then...crawling it is! Oh well. Soon enougg he'll be running all over the house and I'll wish that he were crawling again!!! :o)

First Steps!!

Congratulations Carson!! He took his first steps today! I changed his diaper and set him down hoping that he would just stand there(since he hasn't wanted to even do that on his own). Well, he decided to just take off and walk. He took about 6 steps with ease and then realized that he wasn't holding on to anything. Of course he dropped to the floor quickly. I was so excited, but Caleb was on the phone in the kitchen and missed it. So I brought Carson into the kitchen and tried putting him down again to see if he would walk to Caleb. Again, he walked to Caleb like he's been walking for a long time. He just needs to gain some courage and he'll be on the go all the time. We tried it again with the video going and of course, he wouldn't do it. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning. I'll post the clip as soon as Carson cooperates. :o)

Stitches!!!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I'm mending after having 3 stitches put into my left middle finger. Friday night I was getting the seed out of an avocado(not the safe way) and the knife slipped off the seed and sliced through my middle finger. It never hurt, but since I could see the tendons inside I knew it needed stitches. Caleb wasn't home, so I wrapped my finger with lots of gauze and taped it up. I loaded Carson into the car and headed to urgent care. When I got there, they took the gauze off and it still wasn't hurting! I'm not sure if I was in shock or if God was just blocking the pain since I was alone with Carson. Anyway, 3 stitches and a tetanus shot later, I was on my way home. Not the way I wanted to spend my Friday night. Oh well. Since then, I have been having trouble typing. Today, it feels quite a bit better though. I definitely will be more careful with knives from now on!! :o)

New Vehicle

Well, this weekend we put Caleb's car up for sale on Craigslist and it sold right away. SO... we went car shopping on Saturday. We have been looking for a while, but weren't set on anything. However, we found a Chrysler Pacifica that was right in our price range. I'm not ready for a minivan yet, so this was a nice alternative. We have lots more space and it rides very nice too. I'll post pictures soon. It was a busy weekend!!!

Grandpa and Grandma Proffit

Last week me and Carson went to MN. This picture was taken then.

A Hiking We Will Go!

Yesterday we went hiking up to Powder Hill with Carson. He loved being in the backpack carrier. It was such a beautiful day! Nice and cool!

Isabella and Jack

Here are some pics of baby Isabella and her big brother Jack and Daddy.

Cutie Pie

Just thought I'd add some cute smile shots of Carson for the Grandparents to see. :o)

Happy Birthday Baby Isabella

Jason and Jess(my brother and sister-in-law) just welcomed their newest addition to their family at 6:30 this morning. She is healthy and doing well. So is Jess! :o) I'm going to MN next week to help so I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to share.

Visitors from Africa

Yesterday, we got to meet Caleb's youngest Cousins. Scott and Jaycee. They are adorable. Carson was very nice to them. :O) Caleb's Uncle and Aunt are here in the States until November. They are missionary doctors in Tanzania. They just recently had twin boys (3 1/2 months ago). It was nice to visit with them.
