Aaaaah, Brothers

Carson and Tucker were just outside on our front lawn this afternoon. I walked over to the door, but couldn't see Tucker. I asked Carson, "what's Tucker doing?" Carson says, "He's just eating a rock". (sound of teeth grinding) Another

Doctor Carson Knight

Without regard for the drastic socialist movement in the medical field, Carson has launched his medical career -- mostly by chasing me with his toy needle and checking to see if my heart is still beating.

Look Ma': No Training Wheels!

Carson (with a little help from Dad), decided he was ready to try his bicycle without training wheels. He did pretty well, but in the end, the training wheels went back on his bicycle. We'll have to try again next weekend.

Fleischmann Planetarium at UNR

Now that Carson is a school-boy, we decided to take him to UNR to show him what universities are. We started with the Planetarium, which dissappointingly, had changed very little since I was a kid. But Carson enjoyed it. He even got to touch a meteorite. Then as we started

Adventures at the Dentist

Carson went to the dentist for his first, and unfortunately, second time, all in the same week. He had his initial checkup. The dentist said he had really deep grooves in the molars, so Carson returned to have his molars sealed with some sort of epoxy coating. Luckily, with our

Wild Animals

My Dad and I took a dirtbike ride out to the petroglyphs south of Lockwood. There was such a variety of wild animals... We saw some beautiful wild horses (including four foals, each about two weeks old), a mule deer, marmots, canyon wrens, and lizards. We were dissappointed that we

Exploring the Amazon

Our little explorers conquered the Amazon River, surviving waterfalls, crocodiles, and monsters in their homemade raft. Tucker paddled with all his might while Carson fought off the monsters. It turned out to be a lot of fun.

A Bicycle Built for Two

With the sickness of the winter behind us (hopefully), we finally got out as a family and went to the Sparks Marina. We dusted off our bikes, (except for Carson, since his is brand new) and headed for what's now called "Celebration Lake". We like "

Tucker's Bicycle Seat

We mounted a seat for Tucker onto my bicycle so that we can ride as a family. Tucker loves it!

Monster Jam -- Monster Truck Rally

We won two free tickets to Monster Jam from Boulevard Pizza. So my Dad, Carson and I went. It was a blast. Well, actually, at first it was a little annoying. Parking was $7, which my Dad was nice enough to pay. Then when the show started, it was SOOO

Boulevard Pizza Promotion -- Free Monster Jam Tickers

Boulevard Pizza makes some of the best pizza in Sparks. So when they sent an email (yes, we are on their email list) about their newest promotion, free Monster Jam tickets, we were pretty excited. The first twelve people to redeem coupons would be awarded tickets. We had thought about

My New Trek Bike

Carson got a new bike, courtesy of Grandma Bea and Grandpa Gene, thank you! It's a Trek bike, and Carson loves it. We went to Scheel's yesterday to get it, and as soon as we came home, Carson was out riding it all afternoon. We are

Stairway to the laundry room

A couple of nights ago, Tucker climbed up the stairs, all by himself. Until now, Carson had been playing with him on the stairs and sometimes carrying him up a few. All the practicing from the last few weeks must've finally clicked and he went up and up

Carson's ABCs

While Carson has known his ABCs for quite some time, he now has some really cool posters to help him practice.

We're Mechanic Guys

As Carson says, "We're mechanic guys." We spent the day working on our vehicles. We: 1. Changed the oil in the Cobra 2. Replaced the air filter in the Tundra 3. Replaced the rear brakes on the Avalon 4. Re-installed the splash guard on the front

Our Capricious Cobra

Apparently, the Cobra has a few kinks to work out -- some of which randomly come and go. For starters, the gas gauge doesn't work all that well. Returning from the DMV, the car stuttered, then died at one of the busiest intersections in Sparks. I got out

Nevada DMV Policy on Cloning Cars

As I handed the lady at the DMV my application for a replica car registration, she look confused and asked: "So-ooo... You want to replicate your car?" It was tough not to laugh. No, I am not trying to clone my car; no stems cells have been harmed

Our Newest Addition: 1967 Shelby Cobra

Ok. It's not a real '67 Shelby... But it is a really nice replica. Comments Danielle (Feb 21, 2009): Looks like a fun toy. As a side note that grss sure is green for being the middle of winter :-)

Who's Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner?

Some kids are afraid of the vacumm's loud noise, but not Tucker. He speed crawls over to where I'm vacuuming. He seems to be intrigued by the loud noise. (I hope this post makes me out to be a diligent house cleaner, cause I totally am

Splish Splash in the Ultra Shallow Water!

We have to keep the water shallow so Tucker won't swallow too much water! But Carson doesn't mind. He really likes taking baths with his brother, especially now that Tucker can sit up and crawl. He's much more fun to play with. Carson is

It's the Most Unhealthy Tiiiiiime of the Year!!

Through the months of January and February, all of us have been sick at one time or another. I was doing well until yesterday, when I started feeling a cold coming on. I cannot wait to be through with all this, especially giving Tucker all of his medicines. He is

Crawling video

Here is a little taste of what Tucker does all the time now. If I can edit myself out of the other video (which is longer and better) then I'll post that one soon. But until then, enjoy this 10 seconds! Comments Yo' Mama (Jan 29, 2009)
