Happy Anniversary Andy and Autumn!
Three years of love. Congrats to you two. Have an amazing day. We love you!
Father's Day
Happy First Father’s Day Todd! You are an amazing father and husband. Carson and I are very blessed and thankful for you.
We started off Father’s Day with a little bed party. Then we got our sleepy heads up and got ready for church. The mass was nice but long. So we left a little early since Carson was acting up. Mass started at 10:00 and we left at 11:20 and it still was not over. They like the long masses at St. Ann’s.
Then we went to Champs for brunch ….Yummy! Carson loves it there because they give him coasters to chew on. Daddy and I had mimosas and yummy food. Once we got home from brunch we changed, packed up and headed to the pool. Since it was so hot (high in the 100’s) we only stayed a little over an hour.
When we got back from the pool everyone watched the US Open really meaning we all took naps. I then made dinner. Crescent chicken rolls, sweet potatoes, green beans and salad. After dinner and bath time Todd opened his Father’s Day gifts. Carson and I got him wine cellar and a new shirt. Then we all relaxed and went to bed early. Got to love that!

Home to Home
So sorry about the delay in our postings for last week. Carson and I spent the week in Kirksville with my family while Todd stayed in Dallas and worked long hard hours. Our trip home was wonderful and relaxing. Carson got to spend a lot of time outside in the yard and in the pool. Since it’s so hot here in Dallas he really does not get to do that too often.
While back in Kirksville we got to spend some time with Sara and Bella. They were able to come back with us from St. Louis on Saturday. Carson was more aware of Bella this time which was cute to watch. She still had to make a noise for him to notice her but he would look at her longer and wanted to touch her too. Okay, maybe chew on her a little. He likes to chew on everyone. Bella has grown so much and is just getting cuter and cuter every time we see her.
Of course we got to spend a lot of time with Jackson and Ellie. Carson loves playing with them. He gets so excited and bounces and screams like crazy. Jackson was so good with him. He would ask nicely for Carson to stop destroying his train tracks and would also take the time to play around with him. He would also share his treats with Carson including sour gum … which according to Papa he loved immensely. Dad had taken Jackson and Carson with him to get gas for the mower. After he had loaded the gas tanks into the back of the car and got back into the driver’s seat Jackson said that he was a good boy and share with Carson. Dad said he looked back in the car and there was Carson just chewing away with a slobbery smile on his face. After Papa gassed up the mover he took Jackson, Ellie, and Carson for a ride in the wagon. They all loved it. Later Ali learned how to drive the mower and took them again. TOO CUTE!
Grandma had a great time letting Carson get all messy while we were back. I would get him all dressed and looking cute and then Grandma would take him out back and let him get super messy. I’m still working on all the grass stains. Carson LOVED it. Grandma also introduced him to bubbles. Carson loves to watch them. But he loves to eat them even more. Grandma said after he ate some every time he opened his mouth bubbles would come out.
Ali and Andrew had us all over one night for dinner. Very tasty I may add. She made this dessert which involved apples (the only healthy item), 2 sticks of butter, tons of sugar, crescent rolls, and Mountain Dew to top it off. It was amazing. If you mix it with Papa’s homemade ice cream its heaven. I just love Ali’s new house. It feels like a loving home. Thanks Ali!
The only thing missing while we were back was Andy and his family. I think when we will finally get to see Miss Briley Mae she is going to be taking in full sentences and wearing high heels. We also miss Andy and Autumn. See you at the beach. That is just too fun to say.
We wanted to thank everyone for a great week and all that they did to make it such a fun visit. We always love to come home.

Toothbrush and Thumb Fun
Clean Teeth
Tucked It
Breakfast In BedJust a quick post before Carson and I fly to Missouri to visit Grandma , Papa, and the rest of our crazy but loving family … really they are not crazy … they are perfect. Carson has found a few things that he has really learned to love such as the ice dispenser on our refrigerator. Every time we use it he scrambles around to watch it no matter where he is. He has also become infatuation with the house alarm and screams when you arm and disarm it. So sometimes we just stand there arming and disarming it a few times. Then there is Dora on his yogurt container. He loves smiling at her picture while we are feeding him. So now we have Dora talk to him during his meals. Yesterday he found out that my toothbrush turns on. He just used to chew on it. Somehow he found how to turn it on. Now I think I may have found his babysitter. Below is a video clip of Carson and the toothbrush. There is also a video clip of Todd sucking on Carson’s thumb. Carson likes to put his fingers in our mouths. So when he had his thumb in Todd’s mouth Todd started sucking it and Carson would pull it out and then stick it back in again. Over and over again this would happen so I got the camera. It’s just too cute.

True Love
Happy 35th anniversary Grandma and Papa! Thank you for being a wonderful example of true love.
Ballgames and Big Boys!
Too Cute
Carson and I started off our weekend on Friday by having lunch with Lindsi at Grand Lux in the Galleria. It is always nice to see her and catch up on her wedding news. While we were there we were able to return a few things and purchase Carson’s 4th of July outfit. I promise it is not plaid or seersucker. We then hurried home so that Carson could take a nap before we went out to eat with Daddy. At Champps’ Carson discovered his love of coasters. Our waiter was so sweet and kept bring him extra ones to chew on.
The next day Carson got to try out his new water mat. He was not a big fan at first but then warmed up to it. At first we had it going full blast but once we saw he was not enjoying it as much as we hope he would we turned it down and then he was fine. I think it will work on those really hot days when we need just a little something to cool us off.
Saturday night as a thank you for watching their dogs, Matt and Hang took all three of us to a Rough Riders game. They are a minor league team in Frisco. It was a little hot at first but soon once the sun went down it became more comfortable. So to keep Carson cool Todd and I took him to a shaded lawn area and ate dinner. Carson got his own cup of fries and loved them. He also loved eating the grass. There for a little while our little boy looked like white trash. We then cleaned him up and headed back to the stands to watch some baseball. Then around the 4th inning it was time for Dip and Dots … Carson loved them. I could not feed them to him fast enough. He kept grunting for more. It was pretty funny. We lasted till the 7th inning when Carson made it perfectly clear that it was time to go home. We had a wonderful time! Thank You Matt and Hang!
On Sunday we went to church and then to brunch like always. This time was special because Carson got to order his own meal. He is now eating so much that he needs his own plate. So Carson 1st meal was grilled chicken tenders and green beans. He was so proud. Once we got home we packed up, change into our suits, sprayed everyone down with sunscreen and headed to the pool. Carson loves the water so far. He was not a big fan of the orange push up we gave him. I think he was a little cranky and in need of a little rest. So we will try the push up again when he is in a better mood. While at the pool Carson loves to play on the steps and chew on everyone’s toys. Really they are the county club’s toys but I know the other parents are probably not crazy about our kid chewing on everything.
We had a very enjoyable weekend. We were all able to rest up and relax a little.
