Three, Two, One...Blast Off!

Galveston 2008

Home from a Great Trip!

Hello To All,
We got back today from a week at the beach and it was great! We had a wonderful time and the kids loved the ocean and playing on the beach! A dead car battery and Hurricane Dolly tried to interrupt our fun, but we were not going to have it. We got the car fixed, and even though Dolly let us know that she was out in the Gulf, being in Galveston, we only got wind and rain. Coming to a blog near you...pictures and stories from the beach! Stay tuned!

Carson's Party Part 2

Future Lineman? (Carson's Stats)

We just got back from Carson's one year doctor's visit and Dr. Dan told us what we already knew...he is a BIG boy! His head circumference is 19 1/4 inches (95th percentile). He weights 25 pounds 6 oz (80th percentile) and he is 30 inches long (65th percentile). All else is well and he is a healthy little boy. He only got three shots and did very well with them. When the nurse was getting ready to give Carson his shots, she set them down next to him Carson reached for them with his Go Go Gadget arms and got a hold of one of them. Luckily, the needle was covered. I think it freaked out the nurse more than it did Dewey or I.

But all is well and Dr. Dan approved Carson to be a future Allen Lineman!!! heehee :)

Big Brother Premier!

Okay, I don't have much free time to watch TV, but I LOVE Big Brother! And the premier is in 35 minutes! Can't wait!

Carson's Party

Carson's party was today and he had a blast! Happy Birthday Bubba!

Thanks to everyone who made it special for him!

Decorations and set up

I loved his cake!! Even though his smash cake was huge for a one year old, he had fun with it...see picture below.

This is my contribution to his party and I so got this idea from another mommy (thanks Team Carroll!) There were pictures of him from one month all the way to twelve months. Love it!

Family and Friends
Clapping for himself, you can see Carson enjoyed himself.

Cake time and sibling rivalry
Carson having his cake and eating it too! One of my favorites from today!

Sarah apparently didn't like it when Carson told her that they were "his" toys.
