Little Mechanic

Carson helped me fix up the car today. We replaced the radiator, spark plugs, front rotors and brake pads. He's a pretty good mechanic. He even climbed underneath the car with me while we disconnected the radiator!

Our Little Pastry Chef

Carson has inherited a sweet tooth from both his Mom and Dad. So he loved his opportunity to make a yummy dessert for dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Knight's house today. He did a great job.

Halloween Night

Carson and I had a blast on Halloween night! Carson was Ironman. We Trick-Or-Treated at our family's houses in town and around our neighborhood. It was even fun answering the door for Trick-Or-Treaters that came by our house. It was always a disappointment at our old house when

We went to the Ferrari Farms Pumpkin patch with Michelle on Thursday. We picked out the pumpkins we would carve for Halloween (picture in the next post). They have a bounce house, games, farm animals, and a hayride for the kiddies - all with a nice harvesty atmosphere for the

Carson Building Castles

Grandpa Ross is always building something in his woodshop. Some time back, he made a wooden castle block set. Carson was so excited when his Great Grandpa gave him the set on Sunday; we've been building castles since. Thanks Grandpa Ross!

Friends

While driving home from Home Depot 'Safety Day', I told Carson, "Thanks for going with me this morning," to which he responded, "Thanks for being my friend, Dad."

Home Depot Safety Day

You just feel bad when small shops try hard, but fail. Carson and I went to the Woodcraft Tool Show; we found more employees than customers at the unfortunate 'Tool Show'. They spent a lot of time preparing demos and they even had homemade food, but there were

Marketing Genius -- GeoTrax Toys

Carson got a free Fisher Price GeoTrax movie in the mail today. The semi-irritating DVD had three short episodes animating GeoTrax toys. After it ended, Carson looked at the advertisement that came with the movie and said, "I want to buy these ones, " pointing to some of the

Boys in their PJs

A few shots of us hanging around this morning in our PJs... Tucker's hair naturally sticks up and curls. Comments AuntieM (Oct 16, 2008): I really love these pictures. They're cute of Carson as usual, but I think they're the first ones I'

Riding In Grandpa Knight's Cobra

Carson lived out his wildest race car dreams riding in Grandpa Knight's Cobra. Grandpa almost got that thing up to 5mph! Who knew that car could even go that slow? The kids had a blast.

Thoughtful Three-year Old

This morning, Carson sat down next to me and asked, "So Dad, how did you sleep last night?" It caught me off guard -- was this coming from a three-year old? He listened intently as I responded. What a sweet little boy.

Sparks Firefighters Pancake Breakfast

Firefighters have got fund-raising figured out. For the second year in a row, we attended the Sparks Firefighters Pancake Breakfast. It had been a rough night, so Angela stayed home with Tucker while Carson and I went to the firehouse. Community leaders cook and serve the food while firefighters give

Carson Still Potty Training

How do you motivate an unmotivated potty trainee? That discussion has continued for several weeks. We ordered a free 'Pull-Ups' potty training movie; it had some good ideas. Angela also sent an email to the members of the club formerly known as the "Sparks Mom's

Galena Creek, Reno, NV

Angela took a much needed movie break this afternoon. So Carson, Tucker and I had a few hours to burn. Tucker has a definite preference for Angela, making 'just the boys' time intimidating. So what do you do with a busted-up shoulder, cracked ribs, and two young children?

Carson's Pirate Ship

After my dirt-bike crash, I wasn't sure if I would be able to work with Carson on the Lowe's Kids Workshop project. He convinced me otherwise. Carson and I arrived at Lowe's a little too late; they were already cleaning up. Fortunately, they gave

Football Season

To kick off football season (which Angela and I cannot stand), Carson and I went to the Home Depot Kid's Workshop to build this month's project: Goal Posts. Carson is getting so good at building things. This one required a screwdriver, glue, and a hammer. He

Carson's New Truck

Lowe's had a great kids project this weekend: GM Pickup Trucks. Carson and I both had fun building our truck -- twice. It turns out that Dad isn't that great with directions; so Carson had to build it twice to get it right. Carson is getting

Are These Two Really Brothers?

They are as different as can be! (Tucker isn't always this serious, he has his smiley moments) After bath time, Carson, Tucker and Keith were playing around and ended up sitting on the couch together. It was really cute, so we had to get some pictures. Tucker is

A Child's Prayer

Carson's prayer tonight: Heavenly Father, thank you for brownies... Angela made delicious frosted brownies for dessert at Grandma and Grandpa Knight's house tonight; Carson definitely enjoyed them. After his short but sincere prayer, he grabbed his book of paintings of Jesus and curled up with it

Orcas

Carson and I explored our Cabela's store today. A complete stranger gaves us several dollars worth of tokens for the shooting gallery. Carson was a pretty good shot. "Orca!" Carson exclaimed as we were walking through part of the store. He was so excited and I
