Father's Day weekend

2009-06-28T16:58:00.006-07:00

For Father's Day weekend we stayed at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak resort and Karson got his first swimming pool experience. He floating on the lazy river with Mommy, Daddy, Gradma Val and friends Rocco, Russ & Mandi. We had dinner at Dave & Buster's and got to play some games as well. It was a fun and relaxing trip that we all needed. The bottom 4 photos were taken on the bed at the hotel!

Mother's Day Weekend

2009-05-11T22:20:00.002-07:00

Holly celebrated her first Mother's Day! The family went to Phoenix with Grandma Val for a weekend of fun and relaxation...and shopping of course. We visited with Uncle Chuck, Aunt Patsy, Aunt Ruby, Chuckie, and Marina. Karson also watched his first movie, "The Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past"(sorry it was a chick flick my boy, what can I say, it was Mom's day). We officially have the best baby in the world; he fell asleep about 10 mins before the movie and didn't make a peep until the credits rolled. How many people can take a 2 1/2 month old baby to the movies? We also enjoyed our time with Grandma Annette.

Karson's first Easter

Here is Karson in his stylish Easter outfit (courtesy of Grandma Val and Grandpa Don) He is growing so fast and is already up to about 12 pounds! He is now smiling on a regular basis and is even starting to giggle.

Karson actually stayed awake long enough to snap a few photos of the fam! Here are some photos I took this weekend. As you can see, Holly got her hair done on Friday, now hopefully Karson won't rip it out when he is not happy. Now she has a much better Mommy cut. Next weekend is Royce and Holly's birthday weekend!

Karson-One Month

2009-03-18T22:29:00.002-07:00

I can't believe it has already been a month! We are enjoying Karson so much and he is such a great baby. He sleeps quite a bit and only gets up once during the night most of the time. He is growing fast and is already over 10 pounds. We are so proud to be parents and thank God every day for the blessing he has given us. I finally had time to get some photos of him, these were taken on Wednesday, March 18. I have more I have more I took this weekend I will follow this post with.

Any Time Now

The final countdown is here and it is pretty nerve-wracking. We are now just over a week away from the due date and we are ready to rock when he is. Karson will be here at any time and we can't wait to meet him and hold him in our arms. Abby and Bauer have been pacing around the house waiting to see their baby brother. We have worked hard on the baby room and are about finished. We will post some photos in a few days after we put the finishing touches on it.

Baby's first picture. We saw the baby for the first time and listened to the heartbeat. At 8 weeks the baby is the size of a peanut...the cutest peanut ever! I think it has Holly's nose :)
