Just Talkin A Little

Here is a little clip of Carson talking and eatting his hands. He really loves his hands. Enjoy!

We will miss you Lulu

We wanted to let Andy, Autumn and Briley know that we are thinking about them and are very sad to hear the news about Lulu. We will miss her silly little ways. Like how she held down her tail when she would sit. Also how she loved to pee on Mom's rugs just after she had washed them. Like they said she was the sweetest dog. We will miss her. As you can see Carson is just inconsolable about Lulu.

Happy 1st Birthday Ellie Beth!

Love,

Todd, Amanda and Carson (The Little Birthday Elf!)

We Are Thankful!

Over Thanksgiving we were able to spend it with my Dad's side of the family. My Grandpa Mike and Karen flew all of our family to Colorado Springs for a long family weekend. We would like to thank them for everything they did to make it a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Carson was able to meet his family ... which made him kind of nervous (as you can see in the pictures). But I really think he enjoyed it.

Do You See My Dad In Me?

Carson was just to cute in this little outfit. He even has loafer on with white socks. He wants to be like his dad.

Okay Okay We Are Updating!

Hello Everyone! Sorry that our blog has not been updated! Now I think I may have this down. Well kind of down. Here we go ....

Carson once our little froggy with skinny legs has now turned into our little chubby bunny. Born at 6 pounds and 14 ounces he is now a full 16 pounds. It's safe to say his legs are no longer skinny. I think they may even have some rolls on them now.

We have been busy with many first. Our first trip to Grandma and Papa's house. Carson's first time to dips his toes in the ocean. Our first pumpkin patch. His first Halloween costume (which he was not real fond of, but he just looked too cute.) His first flight. Which by now he has had many. Once he turns two he can start collecting frequent flyer miles. Many many many first. They are all just too fun! Todd and I have loved every moment. We feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity to be parents.

My Family

I'm sorry that we have posted a blog in so long...I have been keeping my parent's super busy! After everyone left the other weekend my Gandma Early stayed with me for about one more week and then me and my parent's surprised everyone and flew home with Gandma Early for the weekend! It was so much fun! Daddy told me that was the first and last time I would ever fly first class. It was fun to see everyone again and to see where my mommy grew up. She really like's it there! Papa had candy everywhere, I can't wait till I'm old enough to sneek some like my cousin Jackson does. I like that kid, I think we are going to be good buds! We got to celebrate Gandmas birthday...she is 32 :) and my Aunt Lissy's birthday. That is a lot of cake for one weekend! My cousin Ellie LOVES cake, she had it everywhere! She is pretty funny. My uncle Andrew's birthday was the other day too...he said your 30's were the new 20's, whatever that means! Anyway, here are some pictures of me at my house in Dallas. I will try and add some photo's of my cousins and I later. I also I have pictures of me and everyone that came to visit me but, they are on Gandma Early's camera so I can't get them yet. But they will be on here soon!

I have lots of trips coming up! I get to go to Hilton Head with my Grandma Jo JO and Grandpa Don, yayyyyyy!!! I hear it is an awesome place! Apparently they live in Kentucky and are going to start taking me to the Derby! Woo hoo!! I'm also going to St.Louis next weekend for a family friends wedding. It should be fun, me and my cousins get to hang out in a hotel room during the reception...that's fine, we will make our own party :)

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our nights." (A little play on words from Uncle Andy and Aunt Autumn's blog.)

Happy Anniversary Aunt Ali and Uncle Andrew

Today is my Aunt & Uncle's 6th Anniversary! Wow!! Congratulations Ali and Andrew! Aunt Ali coming to visit me and Andrew had to stay back in Kirksville...so I feel kinda bad to seperate them on this special day but, Aunt Ali said, "agh, it's not a big deal after six years!" She is silly! I found some pictures of their wedding.

My Aunt Sara and Uncle Ryan just flew in this morning...I'm putting the charm on for them :) I'm so excited they made it! I think they are pretty rad. Everyone else should be getting here this evening. What fun!
