Just Hanging at Home

Not a whole lot happened for the month after Easter in Cali so here are just pictures of Carson's antics around the house.

Carson LOVES climbing into things even into little boxes like this He is not one to fall asleep just anywhere so when I turned around and saw that he was sleeping, I was shocked. P.S. For those of you who don't know, this fly swatter is one of his favorite toys. And no, it has never been used for its purpose, from the second I picked it up at the store it has been his. You should have seen the dirty look he gave the cashier when she took it to ring it up. Best $1.68 I have ever spent.

Carson wanting to play with my camera. And yes, I do have clothes for him, he just likes to be naked so I figure, why bother with laundry which is why you will see so many pictures of him in his diaper

One night it was really nice out so we walked across the street to the park to run around. Carson is throwing down rocks and laughing at himself here.

The grass was really tall and he fell down a lot but wouldn't want to touch the grass to get up so he is trying to figure out what to do

You would think that since he is SOOOOO attached to me most the time, that would be the case when we are outside but no, once outside, he just wants to run away from me and do his own thing. So I pretty much just follow him around while he explores and hits himself in the head with plants. That's my boy.

He got his first skinned knee while walking on the dirt trail. When it scabbed over, he would just sit and feel it and stare at it all the time, it was so cute.

I don't know what we were doing here, just a mommy and me picture

Heading out the door to church on Mother's day, once again, he wants the camera

This is Carson's 3rd cousin Lettie who is named after her aunt who is named after my sweet Grandma Lettie. She is actually much older than Carson but is super super tiny but as you can see, super cute.

Easter in California

Carson and I went down to my parents house for Easter weekend because my niece was blessed on Easter Sunday. I hitched a ride with Alan and Kiersten and the two babies, and the rest of us, had a great time together.

Cute sleeping babies

My dad got a bounce house for the kids and Carson took a while to get his bearing but after that he thought it was way fun

Of course we had to have the Easter egg hunt and it did not take Carson long to figure out that there was CANDY in the eggs. He really got into it and then it was almost impossible to take the candy away and once I did, he just stole it from Bri. He still plays with the eggs and I think he still hopes there is candy every time he opens one. The classic cousin bath pictures

Easter Sunday

We went to the beach and Carson LOVED it. He loved the sand, the water, he even didn't mind showering naked in public. Bri on the other hand took one step in the sand and clung to her parents ever after. I really wanted to get back there this summer with Chyler but doesn't look like that will happen.

It was such a nice weekend minus being a little cold, we spent tons of time outside. This was the first time that Carson has enjoyed the swings.

Swimming with Emerson

Laura and Russell came up to Vegas for work so Carson and I met them at the Bellagio to swim. We had to stop along the way to get Carson a bathing suit since we haven't been since last summer. It was tons of fun and Carson liked it much more than he did last summer.

Family Night at the Park

Carson loved the little slides

But not too sure about the big ones, Chyler got stuck in there so Carson was totally confused.

We went to this park specifically to try out the swings since so many babies love them but Carson was not impressed, he just wanted out.

As you can see, Carson HATES when you close the gates and goes downstairs without him. He can be completely content playing but if he sees the gate shutting, its all over. My pantry was a disaster so I decided it needed to be reorganized one day. While I was pregnant, I lived on cereal because it was the food that made me the least sick so I still have tons of it but don't have much of an appetite for it anymore so I ended up throwing away a few boxes that were old. A few minutes later I turned around to Carson sitting in the middle of a pile of Kix spilled all over the floor.

This is him fleeing the scene of the crime.

Working Men

Usually on Saturdays, Chyler does his Grease Away work so Carson and I decided to go with him for the day. Carson always loves to watch Chyler work at home and he really loved going with him to work.

He just follows Chyler around trying to help, it is so cute. Apparently, Carson gets his tongue-sticking-out from his daddy.

Baby Alyssa

In February, Carson and I went down to Michele's to help out after she had Alyssa. It was so fun to be with the new baby but luckily it did not make me baby hungry like I thought it would. It seemed that every time I would hold her, Carson would be needing something or getting into something. So I'm good with a little more time before #2 comes along!!!

Cute baby girl

Here she is with the head band I made her This was right before I left my house to go down, Carson was just being really funny while he was eating his crackers He looks like a little squirrel

Hailey had a lot of fun with Carson, she is such a good cousin

I think that Carson looks so old in this picture, it is so hard realizing that he isn't my baby anymore.

But then I am reminded that he is still a baby.

Hailey wanted to take a picture of us, I think it turned out cute.

This is me trying to hold both of them and take a picture at the same time, that's why I look kinda scary!!
