a man of many hats

My lil katie resting after a day of swimming
Wow...a week has already passed us by..I cant believe its going to be the 4th of july next week. This year is going by soo fast. This past friday, I went to a banquet where thr gave me a check for $2000 to donate to my charity of my choice..which I chose to give to My friends house here in plano. It was a lot of fun, but we had to slip out before it ended. I went to the red cross training for disasters, I think its time that I get back involved with the red cross. Katie is moving sooo fast, she zooms up the stairs and she loves dancing to music. She has the cutest laugh ever!! Carson is so protective over katie when we go out. He is always loving on her and doesnt want anyone else around her. She is very observant, she will watch carson do something and next thing you know..she is copying what he was doing. One thing she does as well as carson is eat!! This kids are going to eat me out of a house when they get bigger! I love my family! they are so awesome!!! Carson found my different props for my photobooth that I had set up for a birthday. He loves the glasses..hopefully he wont inherit my bad eyesight!!

5 year anniversary

5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY~~~

Wow, Its hard to believe that I have been married for 5 years already!! My parents got us the best anniversary present ever...they agreed to watch both of the kids for the weekend!! Yippee!! Chad and I didnt know what to do without the kids and our conversations revolved around the kids. Of course I couldnt go a day without seeing the kids, I stopped by the house to see them!! We went to the boardwalk and to the casino and to our favorite restaurant..ernests. Chad even ordered a cake from the cakery that made our wedding cake. It was as yummy as I remembered it.

Carson and katie had a great time spending the weekend with thier pou pou and paw paw. I think they adjusted well - thank goodness for a schedule!! Carson just soaked in all the attention he received from them!! I think it wore my mom out though... lol...my mom is a tough gal, but taking care of a baby when you arent used to it can be very tiring!!

Carson is taking swimming lessons, he is doing pretty good..although at first it took the good first half of the session for him to even get in the water. He is practicing blowing bubbles thru his nose, digging and kicking. The teachers are trying to teach him to put his head in the water when he kicks..I asked him how come he didnt look down in the water and he said he didnt have his googles. lol - that boy...and his reasoning...he's got a point!! Sometimes he is so silly..I always say, carson..you're so crazy! and he responds and says..mommy..you crazy too! lol...

And katie...she is crawling like a champ now and cruising on all the furniture, it wont be long before she is walking...i hope she is still crawling when we go on vacation! I can tell she is going to be very independent - I have no doubt that she will be able to stick up for herself against carson!

poppin wheelies

she's everywhere!!

Guess Who!! Peek a boo!!
On the climb!!


Katie is getting into everything now that she is mobile!! Those thunder thighs are slimming down and she is crawling like lightning! Last week she started climbing up the stairs and made it to the 3rd step..so it was time to put up the baby gate! It so hard to believe that Katie is 9 and a half months old! She is in the 85th percentile for weight, she weighs 1 pound heavier than carson did at that age but she is slightly shorter. I can feel Katie's bottom teeth coming in, I think there are 2 of them. she hasnt been that fussy with it coming in. She is such a great baby. I love her so much!!
