Karlee used to love doing the hotdog dance at the end of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The last few days I have noticed Karson doing it and I have had a flashback from exactly two years ago. They even have the same moves:)

The Little Mermaid/St. George
When Aubrey and I heard that The Little Mermaid was coming to Tuacahn this summer we knew we had to take Karlee. It was really the first movie that Karlee ever watched and she loves it. She can quote several parts of the movie and Ariel is her favorite princess. Since my cousin Eric was getting married in St. George it was the perfect weekend to go see the show. On Friday we drove up to St. George and dropped Karson off at my Aunt Malea's house so she and her kids could watch him while we went to the play.
Karlee was so excited just because it was The Little Mermaid but didn't really know what to expect since she didn't even know what a play was before we went. I thought she might be a little young but I knew that this would be our only opportunity to take her
She thought it was pretty cool she could put her face in this picture and be Ariel:)
Karlee absolutely loved, loved, loved the show!! Aubrey, Jeff, and I did as well. It was put together so well and was such a great performance. Karlee sat through the whole show eventhough it went until 11:30. She sang along to the songs, clapped, and danced in her seat. She was so excited when the characters would come on stage. It was fun watching her enjoy the show. She has even asked a few times if we can go again. After the show we got to meet a few of the performers. She loves Scuttle in the movie and did in the play as well.
She was a little nervous to go meet Sebastian because he has claws. Obviously she doen't get that these people are playing characters and they are not real:)
We thought the line to see Ariel would be way too long but we saw her and Eric come out together and we ran over there. Karlee of course wanted Ariel to hold her. I'm so glad we took Karlee to the show. It was so fun for her and something she will be talking about for a long time.
On Saturday we went over to my Uncle Dave's house and had lunch, then went to the wedding, followed by the reception. It was good to see some of my extended family.
We tried taking a few family pictures but it was so hot outside that the kids wanted nothing to do with that.
You can see the kids cheeks are pretty rosy. An August wedding in St. George equals hot! We were all pretty worn out that night but it was a good day.
How cute is he?
On Sunday we took the kids over to the temple since it is only 2 blocks from my grandparent's house. We wanted them to see where mommy and daddy got married.
Karlee wanted to go up to the top.
She made it:)

It was a nice weekend that went by so fast. It was even nicer that we only had a two hour drive home and we gained an hour.

What happened to my baby?
Not that long ago Karson was our little baby and in just the last few weeks he is starting to act like a big boy. When we were at the beach I gave him a fork and now he always wants to eat with a fork.
He just started sitting at the table with us so it is time to put the highchair away.
In the last little bit Karson has really started to like books. He is so excited to read before going to bed. After I read to him he takes his books to Jeff and has him read them all over again.
Karlee seems so old too! I can't believe the things that she says. Her thing right now is calling Jeff by his name. She asks where Jeff is and says hi Jeff instead of Daddy. It is pretty funny:)
Last weekend we got to see our friends the Woods and their two cute kids for a couple of hours. Cohen and Karlee have been friends since they were babies and they moved to New Mexico last year. It was fun to see them and it didn't take the kids long to get reaquainted.
I do miss my baby but it is kind of fun having two toddlers in the house that are pretty independent. Karson is getting into everything though and thinks it is pretty funny when he makes a mess. He is learning some little sneaky things from Karlee and I think we are in for some trouble.
