Zoo Day

I love it when Dillon and Chris have the day off of school/work so to take advantage of this we decided to head out to the zoo.  We saw some animals, and then some more.  Good times, good times.

Slow

So January is always a slow month for us.  I actually really like it after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays it’s nice to have a month “off” and just chill.  So with that being said, I have no new fun and exciting things to blog about……. but I do have a LOT of fun memories to share so I figured I would go with that today.

I LOVE this picture!  Dillon was two years old and at the time we lived in St. George where snow didn’t really exist.  We were actually visiting the salt Lake valley and decided to go up to the mountains to see some snow.  This picture makes me think this would be Carson if we ever saw any real snow.  We moved here to Texas when he was two, and I doubt he really remembers snow from when he was one. I love the snow, and defiantly miss it, especially in January! Maybe we will get out and do something exciting, just for blogging about :)  Until then….. happy January y’all.   

My sweet boys

I feel SO lucky to have such great kids that really love each other.  It was in August that Dillon came to me telling me what he wanted to give his brother for Christmas.  He wanted to make him a car book.  Dillon started collecting the car magazines and cutting out all of Carson’s favorite cars.  He then got some paper and glued all the cars to make him a book.  He was so pleased with the final project, and I was so proud of him for caring so much about Carson to give and make him such a special gift. Dillon was also lucky enough to find Carson’s most coveted car of all;  A Boss Mustang 302.  Carson was beside himself Christmas morning to open his gift from his brother! Carson idolizes Dillon and just loves to be with him.  Carson wanted to give Dillon his favorite car for Christmas, so he found him a Ferrari 458 Italia.  Christmas between the two brothers was a success.  I love them both so much, and am looking SO forward to many more Christmas’s just like this :)

HaPpY ChRiStMaS!

We had a fabulous Christmas! Probably one of the best ones yet! The boys got spoiled rotten by Santa and grandparents, as well as other family and friends.  One of the best presents for all of us was we actually got snow! The kids and I miss the snow so much, so it was a great surprise for us to have a white Christmas! I don’t think I need to go into much more details, because the pictures say it all.  So without further a ‘due…….

We have been keeping busy

Here is what we have been up to in order to get ready for Christmas. We went to the Bass pro shop where they had Santa as well as a whole winter wonderland theme set up.

We told Dillon this is what he’s getting for Christmas! (In his dreams!)

 

We had Grandma come out for a visit, so the boys got to open there gifts a bit early :) Carson got a remote controlled car and Dillon none other than Lego’s. While she was here we also went to Frisco square where they had some bounce houses and some man-made snow you could slide down.

NO, that’s not real snow, but I’ll take even the fake 

 And who could forget Dillon’s class party.

Dream comes true!

Our “in-law’s” here told us about a car show on the first Saturday of the month.  We headed out and we were NOT disappointed! My boys were in HEAVEN!!! They saw all kinds of cars from Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Camaro’s, Mustang’s, and many many more.  I know what we will be doing every first Saturday of the month!

Boy’s project

So we finally got around to getting a bunk bed (it’s only taken us 10 months, but eh, who’s counting) Dillon had fun being a big boy helping dad, and Carson had fun trying to stay out of the way. Carson now is the proud owner of a “big boy bed” and Dillon is in LOVE with his new really “big boy bed”
