Happy Birthday Daddy

Yesterday Todd turned 41! After Carson and I left MOPS a little early we were able to join Daddy for lunch which was a nice treat. I can't remember the last time we were able to go out for lunch with Todd. Too fun!

Since I'm so prego I went for gift bags this year instead of wrapping. So much easier!

These are Todd way undercooked brownies (the way he loves them) or as Carson called them all day cutcakes.

That night we went to BJ's Brew House for dinner. The food was wonderful. I only wished I had more room in my belly. Carson insisted on wearing his red cowboy boot. Sorry for the quality of the pic but it was a cute moment.

When we got home it was candle and cutcake time. Carson would blow the candles out before we could even sing. Poor Todd never got to blow out his own candles. Carson was nice enough to take care of that for him.

Look at my cuties!!!

Time to eat the cutcakes and the candles too.

YUCK!!!!

Then it was time to open gifts. Carson still have a little brownie on his face. He wanted to know if that was his bag.

I think it was a pretty good birthday. We are very blessed to Todd in our lives. He is a wonderful husband and amazing Daddy.

Belly, Cowboy Boots, Bikes and a Duck

Sorry for the delay in our blog. Getting everything ready for the twins has been keeping us pretty busy. Here is a little update and a few pictures.

Carson has started to cook and eat with his play kitchen. Below he made mac -n-cheese with eggs. He then carried his chair into the living room so that he could eat at the coffee table. By the way the hot pad is his napkin.

This is a picture of my belly in a dress that does not make it look as big.

Carson found a new form of entertainment ... our sprinklers. Todd was testing them and Carson just loved it.

All the boy needed was his soap and we could have taken care of his bath.

After the sprinklers it was time to ride his bike.

Daddy and Carson

Then the scooter ... He loves his red cowboy boots.

One evening Carson and I found this duck out in our street. Todd said he had seen it in the same place that morning. Something was not right with the duck but Carson really enjoyed watching him. He would yell "Hi Duck" and then "Quack Quack." Too cute.

We even gave the duck some bread but he did not eat any.

While our delay in blogging we missed posting about Jackson's birthday. I really can't believe that he is six. So happy birthday buddy! I will be back later today to post about Todd's birthday. It was yesterday and we all had a wonderful evening.

Happy Easter!

This weekend we were busy with getting the house ready, doing our taxes and our Easter plans. Carson was such a good boy when we had our taxes done. We were there for over an hour and a half and Carson was so good I had to take a picture.

After looking at the last few weeks of pictures I think it may be time for a new camera. The left side of the pictures seem to be a little blurry. It also takes too long to take a picture.

We colored eggs for the first time this year and Carson was a champ. He is a very good dunker. Over all it was a success. Of course all the cool things I got to make the eggs fancy did not work. But Carson did not come out pink and blue.

Our Little Dunker!

Carson's Easter Basket

Carson's cute basket from school.

Easter morning. Look at the little bag in his hands. It holds what he calls his "beans." They were jellybeans that went with his Jellybean Prayer from school. He carried them around with him all weekend.

Checking out what the Easter Bunny brought him.

Okay this is the only pic I have of Carson in his Easter outfit. We were in such a hurry to get to church that we did not take any pictures. Next year I promise to be better at this. We are also going to head to church a full hour early so that we can get seats in the main church. This year we showed up 30 minutes early and got some of the last seats in the overflow mass.

This weekend we were able to put all our extra furniture in storage. Thanks to Matt for helping us do that. We were also able to get the monograms up in the nursery. Once it's finished I will post some pics.
