Everyday Stuff

Sydney watching her cat Sam eat.

My Kitchen helpers.

Sydney with a horse named Hannah.

They happen to have matching tennis shoes.

My future ball player.

Aww, he's so darn cute.

Twas the Night Before Last...

Twas the night before last and

I was in the Kitchen cooking dinner

when all of a sudden I heard such a clatter

I sprung from the Kitchen to see what was a matter

away to the Living Room I flew like a flash

and what to my wondering eyes should appear

just a miniature baby named Carson dear.

His eyes how they twinkled, His dimples so merry

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His little mouth was drawn down in a frown

He wanted his momma to get him out.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly little baby

And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself.

A wink of his eye and a nod of his head

I soon knew I had so much to dread.

Oh we need baby gates, Oh and outlet covers,

Oh corner protectors, oh and cabniet latches

To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall

Now dash away Mike, dash away to Freds

Go buy me some safety stuff,

So he won't fall and hit his Head!

Hey I gave it a shot, I never said I was any good at poetry.

Happy Fathers Day!

I had a real touching post almost ready to post, when Carson deleted it with one swipe of his cubby little hand. Drats So Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers, especially Mike, Daddy, Grandpa and Randy. Maybe I will post some pics if this little baby goes to sleep. No time to upload right now.

Soccer Girl Sydney

Here are some of Sydney's soccer pictures from her first year of playing soccer.

Her team is called the Grasshoppers! Yeah, we couldn't figure out anything else to call the team. Except the Green Meanies. And after the lecture we got at the start of the season about being nice & all that junk. We decided the Green Meanies wouldn't fly.

Wait, run that play by me one more time. Ok, I think I got it.


Ok, Sydney you throw it to me and then I kick it down the field to score.

Wait, Are those Daisies I see over there?

Hmm, I wonder what we will get for snack after the game.

Run Sydney Run!

But Dad, I am really thinking about the Playground right now.

I am sure I will have more soccer pictures before the summer is over. Three more games to go.

My Little Man is getting Big.

Boy they weren't kidding when they said things are different with your second one. I haven't done any of they things I did with Sydney for Carson. I feel so bad. Plus I haven't had time to post to my blog either. About the time I start to upload pics he wants to be picked up. So then I stop and then when he is taking a nap, I try it again and then he is waking up. Reality check, it will be this way for a few more years.

My little boy is now over 5 months old. Seems like we just brought him home. His looks are changing too. He is such a happy baby. But he does have his mother's side of the family's temper, when he gets mad.

One Month

He was so tiny

Two Months
I loved this little sock monkey outfit & blanket.
I think we seen some of that Nelson temper right after this picture.



3 Months-Easter
He about out grew his Easter outfit from his grandmother, before Easter got here.

4 Months

Sydney loves to crawl in bed with her brother & snuggle.

He loves his sister & she brings a smile to his face.

5 Months

This is one of the first times that we fed him applesauce at our house.

Grandma has been feeding it to him for awhile.

Sorry that I wasn't able to post pictures of Carson until now.

So this is a quick catch up of my little boy. Maybe I can post more in the future.

But don't hold your breath- Life is Crazy Right Now!

Shh....Don't tell my Husband

I think I am in love with someone else. He is new in town and someone of few words, but about as cute as they get. In fact today is his birthday! He is one week old and his name is Carson Patrick. I have to fight with his sister to get his sugars.

Counting Down.....Still

8 more days until B day! And maybe only 2 more doctor visits. Keep me in your prayers.
