Carson's 1st Birthday Party

Carson's 1st Birthday Party was a huge success! We had so many people here - our house was busting at the seams! Thank you to everyone for all of the love, well wishes, and gifts. We could probably skip Christmas he got so many presents. Although, we now have a place to put them all - Uncle Troy made us a wonderful toy chest! Thank you Uncle Troy!

Here are a few pictures of the big day......
Carson's cake - it turned out adorable!

Carson's not so sure about that candle....

Why is everyone singing and staring at me?

I seriously don't know about that candle...

I don't want any cake! NOOO!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! I got my arm in it - I'm a mess! Get me outta here!

We had a wonderful time and are just so blessed to have this little angel in our lives. We love you Carson!

Birthday Pictures

It's so hard to believe that nearly a year has passed since Carson was born. He's getting so big. He can take several steps now - it's so cute. He'll go from me to Chad and vice versa, but the last step is always more of a lunge. He likes to lunge forward into our arms. He cracks me up.

We took his 1 year pictures today. When we arrived Chad said, "Carson! Your picture is on the wall!" Sure enough...he was chosen as their "Portrait Of The Month"! We were so proud! He's such a happy baby. It was the one of him in his scarecrow costume sitting with the pumpkins.

We're so excited for Carson's party next weekend. We have all kinds of goodies set to arrive this week. I had a banner made and bought several western/cowboy themed items. I cannot wait to see how the cake turns out. Peter's doing it again, and of course it's 3 layers. He's also making Carson a special little cake with a boot on it.

Here are the pictures from today's session...I can't wait to share them with family and friends tomorrow! What a little ham!

It's Been Way Too Long...

Well, I have been remiss in writing and updating the blog. It's partially because I've gotten into Facebook, and I honestly only have time for one website. Luckily for all of you (Mary Gayle), I am finally updating with some new pictures.

Carson is getting really close to walking. Any day now!

Here are several new pics. Wyatt, our beautiful Godson, turned 2 on November 4th. I can't believe he's 2! He's such a little man now. It's crazy how time flies!

Troy and Cherolyn also had their awesome annual Halloween party since I last wrote, and we had a blast.

Carson's growing like a weed. Every day brings us something new - a new word, a new move (dancing), etc. It's so much fun! We are so blessed!

So, here are a bunch of pics to catch you up.
