And more pics


So I had a session booked with Ali for Christopher's 2nd year pics, Carson's newborn, and some "brother" shots, but then Jesse and I talked and I really wanted to get some nice family pics for Christmas. So what is my alternative? Yup Wally world! I don't think they turned out too bad for cheap, "studio" style pics. (Although I did have to Photoshop the group pic since it is hard to get all 3 to look good in one shot!) And my childrens' lives have been properly documented. At least until Carson's turns 3 months, 6 month and a year, oh and then school pics, and Christmas, and...!

Family Pic


This was taken back in Easter, but just got copies from my sis and had to Photoshop a different Colton in. (He was being naughty and the majority of the pictures had him making goofy faces-grrr! We didn't know that he was doing that!)

Carson is doing really well in his first two weeks of life! He passed his hearing test, weighs 9 lbs, and last night slept from 12:00 to 6:00 (which makes it a nicer day for everyone)!!!

I'm still trying to figure out life with three kids- how to get in/out of the car, running errands, nap time schedules, breaking up fights while nursing, occasionally giving kids cereal for dinner... you know, my new "normal"!

4th of July


For our 4th of July festivities, we went downtown to enjoy the parade, had a bbq with my dad, Connie and Evan, lit daytime fireworks, which turned into a water balloon fight and ended the day with the grown ups and Colton lighting the cool night time fireworks.

Firework mishaps: (to let you know that this is in the presence of three highly responsible, completely sober adults -one being an ultra cautious nurse!) One large one fell on it's side and shot numerous fireballs in a circular radius-under the car, under our neighbors 40 ft evergreen, one coming within inches of Jesse's leg to knock a glass off of the bumper of our car and shatter on the ground. Then, a piece of Colton's sparkler went flying and landed right on the bag of fireworks, starting a small fire, luckily we threw the bag into the damp grass, putting out the bag before any fireworks were lit. And finally Connie got a little singed on her leg from a small fleck of firework hitting her!

Our little firecracker!

Happy Fourth of July everybody!
