December - The Holiday Season!!

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year. Justin and I are so blessed to have an amazing little boy and a great family to enjoy him with. We hope everyone had a joyful holiday season!

Christmas day at Aunt Diane and Uncle Josh's house.

Carson loved cousin Davis's swing set slide.

He also liked cousin Davis and Andy's piano.

Carson got an outdoor cabin for Christmas.

He cannot wait until it warms up so he can play outside more often.

Minnie and Bubba. Carson can now say Bubba and we are working on saying Minnie.

November - Carson turns ONE!!

I just cannot believe that is has now been more than a year ago that Carson was born. He has been such a blessing to have in our lives. Carson's first birthday was November 3rd. We celebrated with a Pooh Bear birthday party with family and close friends. Carson is just so much fun to be with. He is happy all of the time!! We spent Thanksgiving in Waco with my family. There are just so many things to be thankful for! Carson officially started walking while we were in Waco at the bowling alley. He just stood up and started walking in the opposite direction. It was too cute!! Now he just walks everywhere now.

Labor Day Weekend

School is in full swing. It is not as hard has I thought it might be. I have half as many students as in past years and they are all GT(gifted and talented). I teach 7th and 8th grade Algebra and Geometry. I have never taught Geometry before so it is a learning experience for both me and the kids. Daycare is going well also. It is hard for both Justin and I when we drop Carson off because he usually cries. I find myself sad on the days that he does not cry too. I am sad that he does not mind if I leave. I want him to want me all of the time. He is always very happy when I see him in the afternoon. I usually watch him through the window for a while. I love to see him playing with the other kids.

My parents came to visit on Labor Day weekend. We were all very happy to see each other. Justin and I went to the first Texas Tech game in Lubbock while my parents babysat Carson in Midland. It worked out great! Carson wore his first Tech jersey. It was a jersey that Josh and Justin wore when they were little. Carson was too cute in it! While we were in Lubbock the grand-parents discovered Carson's first tooth!! Here are some pictures from that weekend.


GO TECH!!

This Snoopy doll was mine when I was little.
