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

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

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.

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 the

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

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

Carson's Sunday School

Carson's Sunday School teacher told us about his answer to her question in church today. She asked the class, "How do you feel when you do something good?" Carson responded, "My brain tells me to laugh."

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

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.

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

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

Death of a Pizza

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.

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

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 snack

Making Trivets With Sydney

Sydney and Carson went to the Home Depot Kids Workshop together yesterday.  They did a great job making trivets -- they even painted without making much of a mess.  Carson was pretty proud as we used his Trivet for dinner. It was a funny that the Home Depot, 'your

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.

Painted Pumpkins

We decided to paint the pumpkins this year instead of carving, cause Carson is really good at painting and not making a mess. Here's how they turned out! Comments AuntieM (Nov 01, 2009): Wow! Those really do look great. Cool idea to paint them instead of carving. Less
