Happy Mardis Gras!

We went to Galveston for a "family" Mardis Gras parade that had a super hero theme. The Millers, Lows, and Dowtys came too, and we all had a lot of fun watching the parade and catching beads. Grandma Connie is here visiting, and she got in on catching beads too! Carson ended up with a huge pile of beads and then passed out in the car on the way home! Ahhhh, Mardis Gras!

Carson's Transformers Party

Carson celebrated his 3rd birthday with his good friends and family this past weekend. He chose the Transformers theme, complete with Optimus Prime pinata. He had a blast playing with all his friends in the bounce house, eating cupcakes and ice cream, and taking whacks at the pinata. Thank you to everyone who came and made it a special day for our boy.

Arrrghhhh!

We took Carson to a Pirates and Princesses party at a local restaurant the other night. Mom & Dad threw together a silly costume at the last minute, and Carson was thrilled to become a pirate for the night. Miss Jennifer and Corinne went with us, and the little pirate and princess had a fun time playing dress up. When asked to make his best pirate face for Miss Jennifer, Carson shined it on and looked the part. As usual, the Millers get the prize for top photo! Thanks Jen!

The Cheeto Coma

Need I say more?

January...I know it's over, but oh well

We celebrated Michael's birthday at the beginning of January, and Carson had a blast singing to his dad. We are fortunate here in Texas to have some beautiful winter weather, and we take advantage of it with park and zoo visits. And of course, Carson and Mom spent 1/20 watching the inauguration festivities and soaking up the promise of change to come...however, Carson seems to have latched on to the predominantly 'red' tendencies of this state, and if you ask him who he voted for, he'll tell you John McCain...much to his mother's chagrin :/. Big sigh! I know all of my Republican (I love you in spite of this major, I mean minor flaw) friends will take great joy in that fun fact. :)

We're Back! Sorry for the Laggggg!

We had a great trip to CA for the holidays...which I realize were a LONG time ago, but I couldn't not blog them. Anyway, lots of fun with family and friends. Carson loves being with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and many CA buddies. He's in heaven when we are there. Now, we'll move forward and blog January...which is now over as well (big sigh.) I'll get back on track, don't worry. :)
