Bad Mom...Big Events

I just not downloaded the pictures from our camera and realized that I haven't downloaded them in a LOOOOONG time. Sorry! The pictures above document Brady's monumental preschool graduation, during which he closed his eyes and pretended like he wasn't there. Apparently, Brady doesn't like the feeling of "all eyes on him" because as soon as the ceremony was over he was fine.

The next picture is of the boys enjoying a treat on the beach on Padre Island, where we spent our family vacation at the end of June. We had so much fun...these boys LOVE the beach. I have started to plan a beach house into our retirement plan.

And finally, the picture of Carson in his Phillies shirt shows him holding the first 2 cucumbers that he grew in our garden. He picked out the plant and watered it, and we got a lot of cucumbers this summer before it stopped raining completely and the plant died.

Backyard Fun

With in-ground pools costing upwards of $20,000, we opted to have backyard fun during this steamy weather in our own way. The boys had a blast, and Jeremy even tried to show the boys a thing or two (not caught on video).

Put a Ring on It

This video doesn't show his best portrayal of Beyonce's dance, but it's the best I have gotten so far. The kid has 'tude.

Professional Pictures We Didn't Choose

I may have mentioned before that Carson was not that cooperative when we had the kids' professional pictures taken. Somehow, we got a few good shots, though. And these are some of the pictures that we didn't end up buying.

And...We're...Done (Or Are We?)

After having cake a playing for a while longer, the party came to an end. Then, Brady got to open his presents! He was such a good big brother, letting Carson open one each time he opened one. Brady's friends seem to know him well, and he got awesome presents. Thank you to all of our thoughtful family and friends...Brady enjoyed getting his "dollars" just as much as he loved getting toys. I think that Brady would say he had an awesome birthday this year...is it finally over?!

Carson: The Bubble Series

Regan took these pictures of Carson going crazy after my neighbor started blowing bubbles at Brady's birthday party. We call one of them "the thriller picture"... guess which one. I giggle every time I see it!

Carson in Pictures: Why is he so Funny?

I threw a picture of Brady in here, but the next few posts are going to be pictures of Carson. We have some doozies that might make you laugh out loud.
