Winter is here!

It's cold out. I figured it was the perfect day to put up some pictures of the kids playing in the snow! This snowstorm was a few weeks ago. It was very heavy snow, but it was so pretty that morning! Ethan couldn't wait to get outside. He is at the age now where playing out in the snow is fun and he stays out for more then 10 minutes. Carson however...doesn't last very long. He wants to go outside so bad, but then he hates it after about 5 minutes. He is getting better, but he really doesn't like having all of the winter gear on. Ethan and I made a nice little snowman that day. I thought it was pretty cute, until I drove around town the next day and saw all of these huge life size snowmen that everyone else built with their kids. Guess I better work on my snowman buidling skills for next time around. :)

Halloween!!

This is how Carson felt about having his picture taken in his Halloween costume:

He really was a CUTE little lion, just not a happy one.

He was fine with wearing his costume as long as the hood was not on his head! We went over to Janesville for trick or treating. Carson made a short trip around with Grandma and Grandpa, he was in a better mood by then but it was a little cold for him. Ethan, otherwise known as "Iron Man" made a haul on the candy. He had fun.

So, if you are ever in the mood for some candy...stop by our house! Although I think Jarred ate all of the good candy bars already. Or wait...maybe that was me. haha! :)

Birthday Party

Carson had a great birthday party. He enjoyed his Elmo balloons and cake and of course opening presents. Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Ron gave him a birthday card that sang happy birthday to him...he thought that was the funniest thing! I took a little video of it, although it is kind of dark. He would open it and laugh and then roll around on the ground laughing. It is always the simple things that entertain them the best at this age. :)

Soccer Season

Ethan had a great soccer season this year! It was fun to see how much he improved over last year. He ususally scored 4 or 5 goals per game. He is a fast little guy. :) I had fun helping coach his team this year. I hope he wants to play again next year.
