No Baby Yet...

Well, 9 days and counting. However, the doctor said that since I was a week late with Carson, that I will likely go over with this one too...not happy news to a woman that feels like she swallowed a blimp!! Anyway, hopefully she will be wrong and he will decide to come a little early at least.

Fun in the Leaves!

Carson's Birthday and NYC Trip

Sorry these pictures are way back from August!!! I'm trying to get caught up! :)

Fall is Here!

Well, I guess Fall is officially here, even though it's been in the 80's the last few days. I'm sure that it's the last few warm days of the season though. I actually am looking forward to cooler weather. I'll probably have the windows open through November! :) Since my last post, Caleb and I were able to go to NYC for a weekend getaway. We had a great time sight seeing and just relaxing. Also we went to the Oshkosh Air Show with my family. It's official: Carson LOVES planes as much as his daddy!! I have gone to MN a few times to visit with family and friends while Caleb has been out of town as well. Poor Caleb has been gone for almost 3 weeks now with the exception of the 2 days that he was able to come home for 24hrs. It's not fun to be stuck in hotels every night by yourself and eating out every meal. Anyway, we're praying that when he does come home at the end of this week, that he will be able to stay home for a while! As for the baby, he is growing(so am I) like a weed. I'm praying that he might come early, but if he doesn't arrive by his due date, my doctor said that they would induce me the next day! That was good news considering that Carson was a week late. Carson is talking up a storm and repeating everything we say!! I find myself watching how I say things a lot closer now! He is such a great little boy and we are so blessed to have him! :) Well, I will try to post some newer pictures soon, but life has been a little crazy so I'm not promising anything. :)

Summer Pictures

Summer 2008(so far)

Well, I guess I should post and update on our summer since it's half way over! I can't believe it's almost August!! I guess I should be happy cause the sooner summer is over the sooner this baby comes out! :) Things are going to be a little nuts around here this winter since Caleb's busy time starts after Thanksgiving and goes until after the new year! I'll need lots of prayers!! Back to summer...we have been pretty busy. Carson has started sleeping in his toddler bed and doing really well with it. We went to MN for the 4th of July and had fun going to Valley Fair. Carson came down with hand, foot and mouth disease while we were up there though! Of course Caleb came down with a mild case of it and Jack, Carson's cousin, got it pretty bad too! Oh what fun! Anyway, I guess it's been going around our community here in WI. I thought summer meant having a healthy kid! Caleb has been able to take Carson out to watch him fly his radio control plane alot as well. Carson has been enjoying all the outside play time in the sand box, at the park, in the splash pool, and going for bike rides with us. We are planning on going to Oshkosh next weekend with my side of the family! I think that might be Caleb's highlight of the summer! :) I will post pictures of the fun when we get back.

It's a Boy!

Well, today we found out we are having another boy! I'm proof that you can have 2 totally different pregnancies and still have 2 boys.:o) Anyway, we are excited and Carson is looking forward to having a brother to play with.

Carson's Career Path

Well, Carson loves airplanes and baseball. He went flying with Caleb and me on Father's day and he has been talking about it ever since. He even tried putting ear plugs in his ears to go flying again!!! :) He also wants to play baseball anytime he is outside. His vocab lately is "fly, airplane, up, swing, bat, hit, and baseball"! We shall see if we have another pilot in the family! I think Caleb is hoping for that! :)

Carson

New Pictures!

Hello, I'm Back!!

Hi Everyone! Sorry about the long break. I guess it's about time for me to update everyone on our lives the past 3 months! Wow, I can't believe it's really been that long. Anyway, since the end of February, we went to MN once, Caleb started flying RC planes again(along with my brother and dad), we've been enjoying the few days of nice weather we've had, and last but not least, we found out that I am pregnant and due November 13th!!! Sorry if that has taken anyone by surprise. We were a little surprised as well, but are really excited for Carson to have a brother or sister. :o) So far I've had an easy pregnancy and am praying that it stays that way!! Well, I will add some pictures from the last few months for you to look at as well. I am planning on being a better blogger from now on. :o) Hopefully!

18 Months

Today, I took Carson in for his 18 month check up. Where has the time gone! He is so much fun at this age. The power struggle has definitely begun though! One minute he wants help and the next minute he's pushing me away! He now can say "GO" and "TWO". He tries to count to three, but all that comes out is, "Two, two, two". He is very fascinated with belly buttons as well. :o) Here are some pics I took this weekend! Gretta even managed to make it into some of them.

Friends

Friday night we watched Haven and Miles. Carson and Haven had so much fun jumping in his crib. Haven tackled Carson a few times too! So funny!! :o)

New Pictures

Here are the pictures from our recent family pictures we had taken.They aren't very clear...to prevent you from printing them. How sad! Oh well. You at least get to see them. :o)

Kleenex!!!

Well, I guess Carson wasn't in the mood to take a nap. He decided to empty the whole brand new box of kleenex into his crib!! how fun that must have been. Not so fun for mom since I had to try and stuff them all back in the box. Oh the joys! :o)

Children's Museum in MN

Last week Carson and I went to MN to visit family. Jess and I took the kids to the children's museum there. The boys loved every minute of it! We can't wait to go back! Milwaukee doesn't have a very good children's museum. It's for a little older kids. Anyway, the MN one has lots of fun things for kids under 3. Carson especially loved the water areas.
