Curious George

The day finally arrived for the big "Guys Night Out." In August Victor saw previews for Curious George LIVE. We decided that would be a fun outing for the boys (especially after Brooklynn's arrival- Carson may need special alone time).

So, this past Thursday Carson and Victor headed out. Carson was so excited to see Curious George. When they got there he wanted to go into the theater right away! He loved every minute of it. Victor said, that he was very attentive and clapped between every scene with the rest of the audience. By the time they left, Carson had a t-shirt, flag, and a balloon (Victor admitted to being a sucker:)!

Ready to go!

Life with a Two Year Old!

Well, I have debated on sharing a "cute" story about Carson. First of all, we have had a very eventful past two weeks. Two Mondays ago we ended up in the ER. Carson apparently had croup (but for a mother who has barely experienced a child with a cold it was very overwhelming). He had to get a dose of steroids and a breathing treatment. He was such a trooper! The rest of the week he was pretty puny. He would play a little and then lay down. By Friday it seemed like he was getting worse. And on Monday morning we took him to the clinic on campus and he had an ear infection. I am very proud to say that he is MUCH better now.

Now, for the cute story... The other day we were all in the den and Carson tooted. I said, "Excuse you, did you toot Carson." He said, "No, it's a cow." Victor said, "Was it a cow or did you toot?" Carson replied, "NO! It's a COW!" paused and then said, "There's a cow in my booty!"

More Fun in Duckhill

Here are a few more pictures from our visit in Duckhill.

We went to watch Heidi and Elora play soccer. Carson would get on the field during the breaks. (hate that the picture is so dark)

We were also able to visit with Victor's parents while in Mississippi. We had a great time there too. Carson rode the four-wheeler, tractor, and checked the cows. Mrs. Vickie had her annual Fall Family Get Together while we were there. After lunch, the guys and Bree:) usually play football in the front yard. This year Mr. Earl introduced a new tradition- Duckhill PBR. That was very entertaining! We also played on hay bails. Carson and Brooklynn wore their Halloween costumes. Carson was a pirate (sorry I didn't get a single picture of him in it) and Brooklynn was a Halloween Princess.

Grammy and Poppa's

We had a great visit with my parents. Carson and Poppa went to the donut shop just about every morning, rode four wheelers and fed the horses in the afternoon. Carson had a blast! He is a big Poppa's boy. I posted a few pictures of Carson helping with some yard work and decorating his pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.

Carson working hard- picking up limbs.

Pumpkin Patch with Grammy and Poppa

Last Friday morning we headed to MS. This was Brooklynn's first road trip! On Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Carson really enjoyed the hay ride, hay maze, animals, swings and picking out pumpkins. Brooklynn enjoyed being outside too.
