growing up

I am so sad that Carson is growing up SO FAST! He has FAR surpassed the weight and height limit for the infant carrier and Chris has been telling me for a while that he needs the bigger car seat. I don't remember being this sad when Dillon out grew his infant car seat, but this is so hard for me!:( Yesterday I finally broke down and got him his new big boy car seat, and yes I did cry.

Our newest family members

Last week, for whatever reason, Dillon was on a kick to get a fish?!? I heard about it one night as he was going to bed, I thought for sure he would forget about it. The next morning, the first words out of his mouth were “mom, after breakfast can we go to the pet store and get a fish?” I tried to hold him off but he was determined to have these fish. Two days, and several requests later, he got his fish.

He loves these stinking fish! The next morning he woke up sat right up with a huge smile on his face and said "Good morning fish!" Then later that night, he needed a bath, he asked if his fishes could go in the tub with him. What a cute boy, I'd do anything to make my Dillon happy!

Finally

Look who is FINALLY sitting up! (it's about freaking time!) He has been doing if for about a week or two now, but I am so proud of my little happy guy.

Happy Martin Luther Jr. Day

Chris had the day off so we decided to go bowling. It's only the third time Dillon has ever been, and was Carson's first. I love spending the day with my family doing fun things!

Nothing exciting

We have been enjoying our New Year with a lot of relaxing. It has been very low key, but I am happy about that. After the crazy holiday season, I have enjoyed getting back to the “normal” crazy life. We have had a couple of Birthday's (Happy Birthday to J'Neil & Kambree) and today we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate.

Our trip to Durango

Holey cow, my sister and family live in the sticks! She has been telling me about it for a while, but it is hard to believe it until you see it. She lives in a gorgeous neighborhood filled with beautiful log houses, and the views are unbeatable, but I could NEVER live there. Thanks for all the fun activities and for letting us stay. We had a great time!
