Carson's Baby Blessing

We blessed Carson at church the end of March. After church, we came home and had our families over for lunch. Thanks to both mom's for helping & bringing wonderful food.

Family pic, Carson was happy when we started but Colby was being grumpy. So this was the best picture we could get.

Bryan's mom made this cake at DQ for Carson.

Carson slept through his entire blessing get together, so this was him right after we woke him up.

I can't believe he is already 2 months now. A little bit about him. At his check-up, he was weighing 13lbs 5oz & 23 1/2 inches. He is growing so fast. He is smiling a ton these days especially when Colby sings to him. He is sleeping really well, 7-9hrs without waking up and even 11hrs the other night. We are enjoying our time with both kids.

I love you this much...

When Carson was 2 months, I took him for his first visit to the zoo. Here is Colby checking out the family of peacocks.

We love to visit the otters.

Of course, already teasing our little brother.

I went to a dental convention the beginning of March, and I was given this scrub top. Colby was pretty excited to wear it. He said it was his doctor shirt.

This video is of Colby trying to get Carson to smile for him.

Spring Day Out in Tempe

On a bright gorgeous sunny spring day in the valley, we went out with a group to Tempe. We went hiking A mountain (ASU) and then to the AZ Aloha Festival at Tempe Town Lake. It was a beautiful high in the 70s. We love this time of the year living here.

On the A. It has been recently painted purple and then covered up by yellow. U of A usually tries to paint the A since they are ASU's rivals.

Happy Carson; 7 weeks

On Sundays, Bryan likes to enjoy a little nap when he can get one. He took a nap with Carson this Sunday.

Mesa Second Fridays

Every Second Friday of the month, Mesa has an outdoor event on Main St. We went this past month and the theme was blues & baseball. They had street vendors, shops open, and a live band (The Blues Brothers). We had a great time walking around. We went with our friends Zach, Jess & Elle.

It is huge!

Grammi's Day Out

Grammi came down to help us watch Colby & Carson while I went to a dental convention and Bryan was working. We are so grateful for her willingness to help us out with the kids especially with Carson only being 5 1/2 weeks old. One day she took the grandkids to Freestone Park and then to DQ for lunch. Here are the pictures she took on our camera of her visit.

Hangin' Out

These are just some random pictures of Colby and Carson hanging out at home. Carson is about 4 weeks old. He is getting pretty chubby these days. We tried weighing him and he is about 11 pounds now.

Mary Poppins

My mom, sister, and I went and saw Mary Poppins at Gammage. I thought it was a great show. The music and backdrops were incredible.

outside after the show, it was really windy. Bryan was awesome for watching the kids while we went.
