Thanksgiving

This year we got to go down to sunny St. George with Jakes family for a soccer competition.  we drove down Thanksgiving day and had a delicious dinner at Golden Corral.  Carson had a lot of fun stuffing his face and making a mess.  I felt really bad for whoever had to clean our table after we left :)
the weather was wonderful! If only snow didnt exist I would be one extremely happy person. I wish I had pictures to post but for some reason we just forgot to take some, so instead I will post some of our family pictures we had taken recently.

now It's on to Christmas!  Happy Holidays everyone!

1st Birthday!!

Carson had his first birthday! It turned out perfectly.  he took a LONG nap right before so he was happy through the entire event.  I borrowed my moms cake decorating stuff and made his cake and cupcakes for the party.  they actually turned out really good I think.

 

 

we let Carson blow out a candle on the little #1 cake.  then he dug right in!

He LOVES cake he almost ate the entire thing!

He had a blast with all his new toys.  the next morning I couldn't even get him dressed before he ran to play with the truck from grandma and grandpa. 

It was cute watching him hold a balloon in one hand while riding his truck naked :)  overall it was an awesome day! 

Walker

Oh my goodness Carson is walking. I mean full on walking! he has been testing it out over the last month but now he can't get enough of it. it's so cute, he still doesnt have very good balance so he kind of walks (wobbles) with a tilt. It is the cutest thing EVER. He is growing up way to fast! we are planning his 1st BIRTHDAY! so excited!

Halloween!

We had so much fun this Halloween! We decided to do a Wizard of Oz theme. after a long stressful week of costume problems, Halloween came and went in a flash! I dont know about anyone else but I had a very hard time finding a modest costume! I dont think they even make modest ones for women anymore. I ended up just buying a costume and adding pieces to make it cover me. We searched hi and lo for a Tin Man costume for Jake but never found one so I ended up making one for him. I think it turned out pretty good! We didnt go trick or treating really. Even though Jake REALLY wanted to. we just made the rounds to the family. Carson was so cute in his Lion costume. He would do this little growl that was so funny! over all we had a blast. Until next year!
