catching up

I don't have any excuses or even a good reason for not posting, other than I just didn't feel like it! Our little man has had quite the big last couple months, he learned to crawl at the end of June and has ben crazy ever since. He is a busy little guy. Up to this point I thought being a mom was really pretty easy, and kinda boring, oh how that thought has changed!! I can't keep up with his messes, and I can't get away from him either, he follows me everywhere. He like to play in the dogs water bowl, and tries to get the dogs bones, he thinks he can walk and pulls him self up on everything and walk around holding things, and sometimes he will let go and just fall flat on his back. He has hurt himself more in the past month than he has his whole life. But he has the funnest personality and is always smiling, laughing, and flirting with the ladies! He also LOVES to eat, and wants to eat our food and throws a fit when he sees us eating anything. I think I'm going to have to put him on a diet soon!!

Loves to oplay in his toy box

Family pictures

When Chase got home rom his mission while we had everyone in town we did big famliy pictures. All the boys were brats the whole time, they did nothing but complain, but we still got some good ones. I love my family so much we all grew up together and were raised more like brothers and sisters than cousins. We hung out everyday during the summer, all holidays and just about every chance we got. We always lived so close together until my aunt moved then my grandma but we all still see eachother alot and love the time we get to spend!

We went through so much just to get pregnant, and then a crazy pregnancy, then having a hard start at the begining, but he was so worth it! We love this little man so much! He is getting so big, not any fatter but he sure is tall!

Our busy weekend

We had quite the busy weekend. My little brother came home from his mission. He got sick and they sent him home 10 days early. My Mom was on a cruise with her sister when they called the house saying that he was coming home. So my Dad didn't tell anyone and just went and picked him up at the airport, and then just showed up at my house at like 11 at night. My Mom didn't even know he was home until she got back from her vacation (it was really hard to lie)So of course my Dad didn't take any pictures of Chase at the airport or anything. There are no pictures of him seeing the family for the first time, or meeting Carson for the first time, or my sister-in-law Brooke. This weekend was his homecoming and we had all our family in town, we went to the lake on Friday, it was windy and the water was freezing but it was fun. We all got in the water in dry suits (I know we are wimps) well everyone but Brooke and Matt. They married into a family that does not like to get cold!! Carson was so good our there, all day too. It was a go-go-go weekend but it was so fun to have everyone here for it!

If Carson was a girl!

So last night we were at Brandon and Courtney's and we were looking at all Scarletts cute clothes and decided to put Carson in one of her swimming suits that are to big for her right now, but fit him perfect! I know we are awful parents, and these pictures will probably cost me thousands of dollars in therapy 15 years down the road, but don't they look cute?!?!? I always thought Carson looked like such a little boy, but now I'm not so sure!
Scarlett as a boy and Carson as a girl!



Why would you do this to me Mom???

My Baby is getting old

I know I'm a slacker, I haven't posted forever. I just have not been in the mood and haven't really had anything to say, I haven't even been on the computer. Matt keeps me updated on everyone since he does a daily blog scan! So my baby is already 5 Months old!! I can't belive how fast time has gone! Carson has become so fun, he is rolling everywhere, and is always smiling. I love my little man!
My cute boys!!
