Visit from Grandma and Papa

This weekend Papa and Grandma came to visit us. It was a busy but fun weekend. On Friday Carson and Papa hanged out together while Mom and I went dress shopping for Kaitlin's wedding. That night Todd joined us and we went out to eat at Brio. Carson was wonderful while we were there. They gave him a balloon and also a little of pizza dough. He loved both of them and played the whole time. Saturday we woke up and headed out to the Texas State Fair. We were not sure what to think but once we got there we were able to enjoy the nice weather and the fair which is really a bunch of fried food. Over the years they have fried everything from Coke to Twinkies. This year the hit was chicken fried bacon. We then had to hurry home to put Carson down for his nap. While he was down for his nap we got the house ready for his 2nd First Birthday Party. The 1st one was back in KV with out family and friends. His 2nd one was back here is TX for our friends and his playgroup. The party was a hit and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. On Sunday we all went out for brunch and took Grandma and Papa back to the airport. Thank you so much for coming and we hope you can make it back soon.

This coming weekend we head to Hilton Head to spend some time with Todd's parents. In one form or another we will be traveling for the next five weekends ... TOO FUN!


Happy Birthday Andy!

A Carson Update

A few weeks ago Carson had his one year check up. We have a very healthy and happy baby boy. He weighs 22 pounds (50th percentile) and is 31 1/2 inches (90th percentile) long. While in the office he was a happy playful boy but after being in there for over an hour Carson started to get upset. So the nurse let us roam the halls of the office and while doing that Carson made some friends and was a big hit. One of the nurses pulled out some bubbles and instead of chasing them Carson was eating them. Silly boy!

That same week we went to St. Ann's (our church) Carnival. Carson got to go on his first carousal ride. We went in the morning without knowing that they bring out all the fun stuff for kids in the evenings. So there was no petting zoo or pony rides. Oh well maybe next year.

Once we got home from Missouri, Carson got to open his birthday gifts from us. He has really enjoyed his new red car. He is so cute in it. I love it because I can push him around the house are the neighborhood. He loves it because it plays music and there are many ways for him to get in and out of it. Sometimes head first. He also got a tunnel which he just loves. Our neighbors Matt and Hang came over the other night for Game Night and Matt had got into it and stood up ... well Carson did not know what to think about that. It was pretty funny to watch.

While I was making dinner the other day I had left the door on the fridge open so Carson could play in there ... he loves that. Well it got really quite and I noticed that he was not there any more. I found him in the living room watching TV with a stick of butter in his mouth. What a snack ... my silly silly boy. It must have felt good to his gums. FYI Carson has four molars coming in right now. Yes, that would be one on all sides of his mouth. Poor boy! He has been a champ about it ... so strong and brave.

This weekend after Ike left the area we headed over to Grapefest in Grapevine. The weather was prefect and hey they had wine and a petting zoo. So they whole family was very happy.

Dinner at the Farwells








Ali and Andrew were so nice to have all of us over for dinner on Sunday. Thank you! Grandma and Papa thank you for a wonderful week. We can't wait to come again. Miss you!




Party Time




On Saturday we had a pool party for Carson's 1st birthday at my parents house. The theme was "What Little Boys are Made Of." Many family and friends came and it was so nice to be able to see and talk to everyone. Friends who I have not seen in a long time were there and it was wonderful to see their families and how their lives have turned out. Carson loved his party and even had some help opening his gifts. When it was time for him to eat his cake, he was not sure what to do but he did figure it out a little. I'm sure next year he will have it down perfectly. Thank you to everyone for all your help and for coming to the party.



Happy 1st Birthday Charles Carson Michael Bobzien!




Happy birthday to my sweet little man. Wow that year went by so fast. Today is the day we celebrate you (August 29th)! Today we started off the day with hugs from everyone. Then we went out to lunch with our family. Robin was even in town and able to join us. We always love to see and catch up with her. Then we spent the day playing and hanging out with family. That evening everyone started to come into town. That included Daddy who we missed a lot. Grandma made all different types of soup and Carson loved the veggie soup. YUMMY! Carson had a great birthday and the rest of us could not wait for his party on Saturday.





Carson and I spent the last week of August back in Kirksville with my family. Thank you to Grandma, Papa and Molly for picking us up at the airport in KC and driving us back to KV. While we were in KC we met Andy, Autumn, and of course cute little Briley Mae for brunch in Zona Rosa.


While at Grandma and Papa Carson loved playing in the backyard and the pool with all his cousins and Papa. Jackson and Ellie we very nice to Carson. Papa would take them all on wagon rides with the lawnmower. He would also give Carson apples from the apple tree. Carson loved those apples even the one covered in ants ... YUCK! Grandma was so nice to show Carson how to play with the toys that were at her house. She also spent a lot of time working with Carson to raise one finger for his first birthday ... we are still working on that. We also went on walks and picnics and even out to eat a few times.


While we were back in KV Carson needed it get his haircut for the first time. Kim was so sweet and gave him his first haircut for free. What a big boy he is becoming.


On Thursday we met up with the KV clan as well as Lissy and Grandpa Mike at the Pear Tree for dinner. As a cute surprise they came out with a bowl of mints with a sparkler in it for Carson's birthday. Too sweet.
