Together

I love it when I get a good picture of the two of them together! Usually Ethan is acting silly, or moving around or Carson doesn't cooperate. I thought this one turned out pretty good. I think Carson is going to be bigger than Ethan by the time he is 1! haha.

Happy 6 Month Birthday Carson!!

My little baby is 6 months old already! He is rolling all over the place and getting close to being able to sit up by himself. It might be awhile before he crawls, he is such a chunker! :) 19 pounds to be exact. I ended up taking him to the doctor lastnight because he has been coughing, he has an ear infection and some congestion in his lungs. The doctor gave him an antibiotic for his ear and that will help clear up his lungs. Poor little guy. Although, he still manages to give us his big smiles even though he feels crappy!

We haven't been up to much & I don't really have any new pictures to post, that's why I haven't done an update lately.

Ethan did quite a bit of riding in the tractor while Jarred and his dad were planting corn. One day he sat out there for 8 hours! He just loves it. I really need to get some pictures of him on the tractor. So he is anticpating getting back to the tractor once it's time to plant beans! He also knows it's almost time to be able to go camping with Grandpa & Grandma Poppe! He mentioned he really wants to go fishing, even though last year his idea of fishing was watching someone else hold his fishing pole. He just wanted to play with the worms.

Today is Brian & Renee's 30th Anniversary! Happy Anniversary!! :)

Just a reminder of how much Carson has grown, here he is on October 29th:

And now:

And of course Carson & big brother. Ethan loved holding Carson when he was smaller, but now we can't let him anymore because Carson just squirms away.

Spring is in the air!

I went for a walk during lunch yesterday outside and saw daffodils and other flowers starting to bloom already! I can't wait to buy flowers and plant my garden. I also look forward to playing outside with the boys after work and going for walks!!

Easter was actually a pretty relaxing weekend for us. The boys and I went down to Fairmont Friday night to have Easter a little early. Ethan dyed some Easter eggs and got to play outside with Grandpa and Grandma all day long on Saturday. Jarred was gone for a few days on his golf trip to Navoo, he came back on Saturday night. On Easter Sunday we went to church, relaxed the rest of the day and then Jarred's mom and Ron brought supper over to us. Usually we are on the go trying to go everywhere for holidays, so this was kind of nice!

So here are a few pictures of from the last few weeks-dying Easter eggs, baptism, and a few other cute random ones. Enjoy!

Baptism

Baptism went great! Carson did good in church and we had a good turn out of family and friends at the house after church. I was all concerned about not having enough food, and everything turned out just fine. Thanks to everyone that helped me out! Our time hanging out with Shannon, Steve and Keisha went by really fast, but it was fun. Keisha and Ethan had fun playing together. My only regret for the whole weekend was not taking enough pictures, good thing Shannon had her camera out. There are a few pictures of us in front of the church that I don't have yet, so I will make sure to post those when I get them. (But only if I approve of how I look in them. haha.)

Not much else has been going on. I took Carson to the doctor on Saturday morning because I thought maybe he had an ear infection (he doesn't) and he weighs 18 pounds! Wow! I will be lucky if any of the summer clothes I had from Ethan fit him.

Hopefully the weather forecast is right and it will actually be in the 50's this week! For the last couple of years I have wanted to hide Easter eggs outside for Ethan, but it's always been to cold. Maybe this year it will work out!

Carson and Aubrey are going to be playing together before we know it, it's already cute to watch them together. Aubrey is going in for a kiss in this picture!!

Busy week ahead....

We have baptism coming up this weekend! We are excited because we finally get to see Shannon, Steve & Keisha. It should be a fun/busy weekend. I have lots of errands and cleaning to do, I wish I had the whole week off of work to get things done! Jarred has been working hard to get the bathroom usable by Sunday, it looks really good! It doesn't sound like the weather is going to be very warm, I wish it was going to be like last Saturday...that was great.

Ethan is done with his sports class now, Grandpa and Grandma Poppe came to watch him on Monday, they played t-ball. Ethan was happy to have them come and watch.

The pictures are from visiting April. There are some cute ones!

A Little Hockey?

Ethan played floor hockey at the Y on Monday night. It was pretty funny to watch those kids try and run around with the stick, amazingly no one got injured! They did have to wear big goggles as you will notice in the picture.

He also had his Early Childhood screening last Friday, he did great! We just have to work on recognizing letters and numbers. The screening was in the school and it was kind of crazy thinking that in a year and a half Ethan will be going to kindergarten there! He is growing up so fast.

Time to play outside!

Just a few pictures from the nice day yesterday. Ethan was happy to be able to play in his sandbox! He rode his bike a little bit and we went for a short walk. The fresh air felt good!
