First Blog Ever

Yes, this is the first blog I have ever even attempted to write. Blogs have always kind of intimidated me, if that's possible. Anyways, I just thought I would start writing a little about my life; my children, my husband, all the crazy things that happen on any given day.

First off, I'm 25, married and I have two beautiful boys, Carter and Carson. Three years ago I would have never thought my life would be anything like this. It's crazy! I'm a Stay-at-home-mom and it's a full time 24/7 job. I know that some people probably think a SAHM means someone who is unemployed and just stays at home with the kids. WRONG! It really is a very challenging, frustrating, rewarding, fun, job. I wouldn't change it for the world. I feel very fortunate to be able to stay at home with my boys.

Carter Michael, my first beautiful boy, born on November 30th, 2006. Yes he was a BIG surprise but a welcome one. I don't know what my life would be like if he hadn't come along. He has the bluest eyes, blondest hair and biggest heart of any 2yr. old I ever known. This boy has mommy and daddy wrapped around his finger and he knows it! At 28 months now, he is at such a fun age! Learning how to say EVERYTHING that everyone else says, everything. Trying to put sentences together, learning how to run, seeing how far he can push mommies buttons. He just started going to playschool last month and so far so good. He wasn't too sure about it at first but everyday he loves it a little more. We wanted him to go mainly for the socialization. So he goes three mornings a week. I love picking him up after playschool. He always runs to me and says "mommy'! And then he tries to tell me whatever he can about his day. It's adorable!

Carson Joshua, my second angel, born on July 28th, 2008. He came two months earlier than he was "supposed" to. I think he was just ready to come out so he could catch up to big brother Carter as soon as possible. He has brown hair, dark eyes (color still to be determined, I'm hoping for brown :) ) Pretty much the opposite of Carter. Carson is such a cutie pie. He always has this huge smile on his face, he's a very happy boy. His main goal in life right now- to figure out how to do everything Carter is. He just stares at Carter when they're in the same room. I know they will be best friends. He just learned how to hold his own bottle and feed his self. Sadly for me, this means it's one less thing he needs me for. He is growing up way too fast, already 8 months old.

Daniel, my husband of one year and five months now (I don't want to leave him out of the first blog). The first thing I would say about him is that he is such a great Daddy to Carter and Carson. He loves his boys more than anything. I know he would do anything for them. The second thing I would say is that he is a wonderful husband. Marriage is sometimes difficult but he tries really hard. He's such a laid-back kinda guy who would do anything for anyone. I love him.

Well I guess this was my first blog. I conquered it. Still don't know if I'll let anyone else read it or not. I guess if you're reading it then I gave in. Oh well. One down, many more to go... hopefully.
