Karson's first Dance Recital

Karson is in dance, and has been for only a couple of months, now. He loves it!! Last night was his first dance recital, and he did awesome (of course, I'm his mom, so I would say that). But really, for how long he's been doing it, I really felt he did a great job!! Thanks to Granma DeLayne, Aunt Kimmy, and cousins Jordo and Cammie for coming and making this a great night for him.

Pics after the show...We bought him a rose, and then went to dinner to "The Taco Place" (or Ernesto's). Great job,Karson. We love you so much and are so very proud of you. Can't wait for the next one!

New Pictures of the kids

I wanted to just get some updated pictures of Ady (they change so much in the first year). We went in and were done with pics 20 minutes later. It was awesome!! Somehow Adyson got hold of a a flower and swiped it from them. Now it is one of her favorite things to play with. Funny girl
Fourth of July pics ( a little early, I know)

I have been wanting this pic so long, and waited so long, the shoes didn't fit anymore. But, they were going to be in the pic, regardless. :)

I have this exact picture with Karson as a baby, too.

How adorable....

Kids are so dang fun...

More cute pics of Ady...

Check out this cute video of the kids dancing to a video on tv. so cute...

The slideshow below is a collaboration of pics that I have taken over the last few weeks. Every night, we put Ady to bed, she is real good to sleep in her crib. She has 3 teddy bears in her bed, and almost every night (or naptime), she will snuggle them sleep; it is so sweet...

Our Camping Trip...

So, last week we went camping up to Oak Grove. What a fun 4 days. First, we left our house around 1p on Monday. When we got there, we scoped the campground for a place to park the trailer. Once we found our spot, and got the trailer parked, I started setting up camp, while Adam leveled out the trailer. Before I could even get camp set up, Karson was giving a pine branch for a present (he is so sweet). After we got everything set-up, Adam got the rope out for swings. He tied one to one branch and the other to another branch. He hung a swing(brought from home) and Ady's car seat. Karson LOVED to swing, it was his favorite thing to do, and Ady would sleep everytime. How relaxing!!
A little while later our friend, Jake, came up and had a taco with us, and just hung out for a while. He headed back home just before dark.
The next day, we got up and swang some more, and Karson rode his bike. He would go down a really steep hill, and the we would have to help him back up with the rope. Before we knew, Granma came. Karson was soooo excited to see her. First, he showed her his swing and then off to show her his bike. After pulling him up the hill three times, Granma had had enough and was ready to relax. Uncle Dan and Aunt Jan stopped by, but also left just before dark. We had chicken and veggie foil dinners for dinner, followed by a wonderful dutch oven cake that Granma and Karson made. YUMMO
Day 3, We woke up and a had a fabulous breakfast; pancakes made from the Batter Blaster. Later, Granma and Karson decide to be birds. They first went on a lengthy hike, and when they returned, they made birds nests (for them). Ady even joined in on the fun, too. Karson, a little while later, gave me my second gift, a beautiful leafy flower. And dad got a fabulous stick. :) Uncle Dan and Aunt Jan came up a little earlier in the day, and stayed for a little bit longer this time. It was great to see everyone. That night we ate ribeyes for dinner, and had the wonderful banana boats for dessert.
Day 4, we are all ready to head home(with the exception of Karson of course). He kept saying that he wanted to camp "all days". But alas, we had to go. After cleaning up camp and fixing the flat tire on the trailer(Thanks, Adam), we were off. We headed home, and got there by close to 1p. The rest of the day was cleaning and laundry.
It sure can be a lot of work to go camping with a whole family, but boy is it worth every bit. We had so much fun, and I'm looking forward to the next trip.
