Eeeee... Last post was in September. That's pretty bad. I'm always thinking "hey, I need to blog about this" but never do. And then I forget all about the great blog idea. Oh well.

Updates on the boys:

Carson just turned 18 months old yesterday! He is seriously the smartest 18 month old I've ever encountered. He just knows things that normal babies his age don't usually know. For instance, if I say "Carson, go get that train and turn it off", he goes right to the train and turns it off. He then proudly smiles at me and turns the train back on with a sneaky grin on his face. Yesterday, he spilled water on his shirt and came to me saying "wet, wet, mama". He is such a sweet little boy! :)

Carter is three now and I think it should be called the terrible three's instead of the terrible two's. He is still the sweetest mama's boy EVER but he has some serious meltdowns these days. If he doesn't get what he wants, when he wants it, he's going to cry, scream, and kick. It's not good. I know he will grow out of it soon. He is still going to "school" three days a week and he loves it very much. There is another boy in his class, Oscar, who he talks about every day. The first thing he says when we walk into the classroom is "Oscar's here!". I wonder if Oscar knows or likes Carter as much as he likes him. :)

Random thoughts:

I have an amazing husband. Yesterday, he was home with the boys for a few hours. When I got home, he had cleaned the entire house and he did like four loads of laundry! I was shocked that he had gotten so much done with both boys home with him. Still not sure how he pulled it off...

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to stay at home with my boys. Atleast until they are both in school. It sometimes seems that everyday is the same- wake up, make breakfast, clean breakfast, dress, play, boys nap, make lunch, clean lunch, play, play, play, cook dinner, clean dinner, give bath, put boys in bed. Ok it doesn't always go in that exact order, and there's a lot of diapers and pottying in the mix, but you get the point. Anyways, some people may think it sounds kind of... boring. To me, no matter how "boring" everyday is, at night I lay in bed and think about how lucky I am to be a mother to these wonderful, beautiful, boys. I thank god for every "boring" moment I get to spend with them at home because I know it will not last forever. They are growing faster every day. When I think back to all of the days we've had together, none of it seems boring to me. There may be some boring, tedious parts, but to me they are precious moments that will be cherished.

That's all for now!

#2, finally!

AHHHH! Fall is here! Yes! The weather has officially turned cooler, not that it will stay that way, but it got me excited.

So much for keeping up with this blog? Haven't wrote again since the first blog and that was in April. Well I'm going to say, that I'm going to try, to write more.

Just a few days ago I experienced my 26th birthday. I have to say it really got me thinking about how close I am to the big 3-0! Kinda exciting, Kinda scary. Oh well. It was a great birthday even though the Flu was visiting our house and we couldn't do anything because we were all sick. But that's ok, because we were all together all day and that was a perfect day to me!

Now for updates on my Boys!

Carter: He has grown so much over the summer! His vocabulary is rapidly expanding and it's very funny to hear him using words like "weird" and " disgusting". That boy makes me constantly laugh. :) He will be turning three in November and I don't know how he has grown up so fast!

Carson: At 14 months old, he is such a smart and well-mannered baby! He says "thank you" just about more than anyone I know. It's very cute to see him play with his big brother Carter. He learns so much from him. Still waiting on his walking legs to show up! That's when I know I will be in big trouble.

Ok, enough for now!

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.
