Rewind

After seeing the pictures of Cole and Caroline in my last post, my friend Brenna sent me these old pics of Carson and her daughter Chloe at the zoo when they were much younger. Wow... I can't believe these two are going to be starting Kindergarten next year!!

When I showed Carson this picture I asked him, "Do you know who this is?" He said, "Yes.... Chloe." I said, "Who else?" His reply was a quick, "I don't want to talk about it!" HA!!!

A Glimpse of Spring

The other day we had some really great weather, so my friend Lindsey and I decided to pack up the crew and head to the Dallas Zoo. It was just a perfect day... we really enjoyed being outside. Much love for the 'roo!

How cute are these two?

The funniest moment was at the end of the day when we were leaving. I was carrying Cole on my shoulders, and he fell fast asleep! So I walked all the way to the car balancing Cole with one hand, pushing Kennedy in the stroller with the other hand, while trying to make sure Carson was right beside me. Talk about multi-tasking!

In 3-2-1...

aaaand... he's out!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Cole!

Sorry Dear Blog, to Have Deserted You for Facebook.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's with family and friends. There was a lot of food, fun, board games, and Wii playing. Putting reindeer food in the yard on Christmas EveCole was not a fan of Santa again this year.We gave it a second shot and he was okay as long as I was holding him.Guitar Hero ROCKS!!!!Kayla and Todd... board game fun!

Cole lovin' on his new Elmo

Laura, David and Carson. Carson lost his second tooth on Christmas Day.

For some reason this is our classic Christmas Eve shot. This is from 2007. The oven went out just when we were about to bake cookies for Santa.

2008 classic Christmas Eve shot. Cole shoved a toy under the oven and we were trying to retrieve it before baking Santa cookies. Never a dull moment around here!!

Gotta Love the Trees

We put up a couple of Christmas trees this year. Cole says about a million times a day, "Momma - wook! wook!" (look! look!) pointing at the trees. This is a picture of him hugging one.

And these are some of the various decorations I have found in the trees from time to time, left by two little boys who like to "help" decorate whenever I turn my back. :)

The Twelve Possums

When we picked Carson up from Bible class on Sunday, he informed us that he had learned all about the "12 Possums." Ummm... not so sure his teachers would be proud of his recollection of their lesson on the 12 Apostles.

Thanksgiving and Fire Station Visit

We had a great Thanksgiving with our family and friends. I didn't get many pictures because I was too busy chasing you-know-who, but I did get one of the kids playing Pin the Tail on the Turkey.

The next day our friend Joey showed the boys around the fire station.

Cole was a little afraid of all the loud noises.

Carson is obsessed with firemen, firetrucks and all things involved. It's all he has talked about ever since.
