carson Andelin Farm Carson's preschool class went to the Andelin farm today for a field trip. We saw baby chicks, a baby goat, a baby cow, a burrow, a couple of goats and some chickens and horses. We also got to go on a hayride around the property. Of course, I
carson (Almost) Done with Preschool Here is one of the pictures taken of Carson at preschool. A photographer comes in towards the end of the year and takes some shots of the kids. He'll be done next week!
carson Smart Kid This is what Carson made the other day with playdoh: the middle creation is his face, while the one to its left is the 'skeleton' of his face. I think the orange one may be Tucker.....
angela Mother's Day These are just a couple of things I got on Mother's Day: a See's candy bar and a mug. Carson gave me the mug, along with a packet of hot cocoa and a little package of mini muffins, which I ate for breakfast. I think the
angela We Just Don't Know! I had the BIG ultrasound today, where hopefully you can see the baby's gender, but it didn't work out that way. The baby was all scrunched up and legs were pretty close together through the whole ultrasound, so they couldn't really say for sure.
carson Kindergarten is Coming I registered Carson for kindergarten today; it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I thought there was going to be a really long line and lots of parents waiting to get their kid in the right track, etc. I showed up a few minutes after 8am, and there
family So Much Easter Candy This year Carson had three easter egg hunts: one at preschool, one here at home, and one at his cousin's house. Tucker had just two, and I think that was plenty for him. He was disinterested in the whole process after finding a few eggs. Here's
tucker Happy Helper I was getting the trash bag out of the trash can in our kitchen, to take it out to the garage, when Tucker stops what he's playing with and comes over to me as fast as he can. He watches me tie up the bag as if he&
Done Here are some shots of our new swingset - it's done! The thing we're all sitting on under there is this cool three-sided swing thing that's nice and low for Tucker to sit on.
carson Chutes and Ladders We bought a lot of outdoor play equipment in the last month or so, and Keith has put in lot of time putting it all together and it's almost done. We have an airplane/teeter-totter, a big swinset, and a playhouse that'll eventually be in
carson Carson's Drawing Here's a drawing Carson made today. He says the girl is his friend Sydney, and the boy on the right is him, and Sydney is thinking about Carson and calling him with the phone in her hand. So the big bubble above Carson in the picture is actually
carson New Piano, New Snow Carson helping Tucker. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Knight for the new piano! Now I can try and learn some hymns. Snowstorm last Sunday - all the snow is melted now.
carson Buddies Carson and Christina at the park a few days ago. They spent the whole time playing amongst the rocks and trees on the SIDE of the park! Christina, Carson and Maria. Christina and Maria are (beautiful!) sisters, and we go meet them at the park every now and then. They
We are Expecting! Here is the first ultrasound - about 8 weeks. I am due Sept. 28th. Being very early in the pregnancy, I'm not feeling the greatest. Comments Yo' Mama (Mar 02, 2010): Hoooooooooooooooooooray!!! So excited for numero tres! Wow. It's been awhile since I've checked
carson These are the Days of our Lives Tucker wanted to get a better look so he climbed on top of the table. What nice brothers! Carson made his own gun out of an old 7up box. He even made a sight for aiming! He did it all on his own (I would never have thought to make
family Cabela's with Grandpa Grandpa Knight went with Keith and the boys to Cabela's a few weekends ago, they had a good time looking at the fish and watching Carson at the shooting gallery. I love Tucker's expression in this one, he looks like he's discovered something new.
carson Using Lentils So I put some old lentils in a bowl and let the boys play with measuring spoons and such while I made dinner one night. Carson really enjoyed it, and Tucker did for a few minutes and then started eating them. This is an ACTION shot, as you can see
carson Discovering Reactions Both cups started out purple, and changed colors as citric acid and baking soda were added. Then the purple cup on top was both red and blue combined. Carson got a science experiment kit from his Aunt Andrea for Christmas, so we pulled it out today and did an activity
family A Fish Named Christmas........and Gran.....and Pizza All the little kids participated in acting out the nativity at the Ross Christmas Eve party; Carson got to be a shepherd, and Brianna was an angel. It was good to see a visual reminder of the greatest gift of all and the reason we celebrate Christmas - Jesus Christ. . After

(if only the pacifier was gone.) Our family Christmas picture this year! What a great shot! A view of the Christmas
carson Yellow Car Frenzy The boys love the Cobra. Tucker really likes his little yellow corvette car - he takes it everywhere. Would this one make a good Christmas card? This one is just funny. Tucker likes to swing on everything now. Comments AuntieM (Dec 11, 2009): HA! That one of Tucker swinging is so
recipes Wholesome Junk food Here's another recipe idea: whole wheat treats. I wanted to make rice-krispie treats, but had no rice krispie cereal, so I mashed up some shredded wheat cereal I had that no one was eating. Not the frosted shredded wheat, just the plain kind. So now we can
carson Thanksgiving is about...... So Carson came out of preschool dressed as an indian yesterday. Nan was asking for some pictures of Carson, so here they are!
recipes Some Really Cool, Easy Recipes I like recipes that are really easy to prepare and that taste super yummy. Who doesn't? This last week, I made Baked Ziti and Creamy Chicken Enchiladas. I took parts from a few different recipes I found online and omitted things I didn't have or didn&
family Two Little Bumblebees Here's Tucker in his bumblebee costume. It was just a tad too small for him. This is the only time when he actually had it all the way over his feet. Here's Carson at our Church Halloween Party, where they had games and crafts and cookies.
