My First Baseball Game

I got a lift to Minute Maid Park from my Dad and Uncle Tony, home of the Houston Astros. I didn't know these real baseballs were so big, WOW...... ....then my Dad got me a real one, first Major League Game, first Major League Baseball!!!! Well, second, my cousin Zach sent me one from NewYork, a commemorative ball from Yankee Stadium, Thanks Zach! Uncle Tony showing me how big this place is from above the fence in left-center. My Mom was there also, I just didn't feel like sitting still, there were baseballs to catch!! Watch in a couple days for more photos of my first trip to "The Show"!!

Boys Weekend!!

My dad and Mr. Terry took me to Terry's deer lease and we found some deer antlers!! I had a blast and got to throw rocks and get as dirty as I wanted. My dad said Uncle Tony would get a kick out this picture, because Uncle Tony hated getting out of the truck all the time to open and close them in Oregon!!

Someday this will be mine, my dad let me hold it while he was taking a break from shooting doves, boy I can't wait!

I guess we were pretty busy on our trip...

In addition to all the other posts I've done so far, we also saw Ricky graduate from pre-school... Baby Megan and her mom Rachel came to see us... We went to Chloe's party... Spent time with lots of family... And had fun exploring Grandma Connie's garden.

The Jungle

This place was a riot! Carson was in heaven and he and Ricky wore themsevles out running all over. They could go through tunnels, down slides, in ball pits; you name it they had it. The first time Carson went down this slide Julie and I laughed so hard because he was gone in a flash, and we only saw it out of the corner of our eyes.... The next thing we knew he was scaling this rope climb to do it again, and again, and again. He was pretty fearless. We could sit and watch as Ricky and Carson came shooting out of this slide. They had games too, and Carson and Ricky had fun with that as well. Notice the sweaty head.

Fun at Aunt Julie & Uncle Chuck's

Carson loved playing at Ricky's house. Some days the boys were very silly. Hmm, a ski hat in summer? We swam in the pool a lot, and Carson learned to use floaties. Abby, Carli, Grandma Karen, & Grandpa Jim came to visit and Carson loved it!

Carson says that Ricky has a "playground" in his backyard. Buddy Brennan and his mom Robyn came to visit too! The boys are getting so big.

And sometimes Carson had so much fun that he just couldn't keep up with his cousins anymore.

Monterey Trip

Playing in the sand.

Being 2 can be rough. One minute you're having a great time....

And the next minute....you're not.

Playing at the aquarium

We're Back!

We had a nice trip to California and Grandma Connie is doing much better after her foot surgery. We loved being there to help a little and spend some time with family and friends. Here are a few pictures...many more to come.
