Small World

I have these two great friends Meesha (we taught at the same school and have known each other for about 5 years now) and Krystal (we are in the same ward and have become great friends and Karlee and her daughter Irelynn are the best of friends!). But it wasn't until recently that I realized that all 3 of us are friends. Meesha and Krystal went to high school together. So they both came over today and we had a great time talking while the kids played. What a small world!

Got Milk?

If Karson could talk this would be his slogan...the boy likes to EAT! I'm just grateful he likes to sleep just as much or we might be in trouble at night.

a whole lot of nothing

For about the last month we haven't been doing much. While Jeff is at work we usually try to get out a little and go swim, go to the library, or go hang out with friends. Every morning Karlee says, "where we going to mom?" I bought her this bikini at Old Navy awhile ago because it was so cheap but when she tried it on she told me it was broken because there were two pieces!! She says the funniest stuff sometimes!
Karlee loves dressing up and being cute!! I heard her yesterday telling Karson, "I'm pretty, Karson." I think she has heard us tell her that a time or two.

Karson is smiling a lot now and it is adorable! Of course I can't get a picture of it because when he does it I don't have my camera. I almost got one but the flash wasn't on.

Here is another attempt but he wouldn't smile.

He was smiling like crazy today but when I went to get my camera he was done. He is so sweet though and he is now 2 1/2 months old and Karlee STILL can't get enough of him.

2 Months

On Saturday Karson turned 2 months! We went to the doctor today and he weighs 11 pounds 11 ounces already and is 23 inches long. He is a good baby and a great sleeper! He has been sleeping through the night for a couple of weeks now and usually wakes up after Karlee does in the morning. I don't know how I get so lucky with such good babies!

He always has a serious look on his face but he did start smiling about a week ago and it is the cutest! On Saturday we went up to my Grandparents cabin in Pine Valley and stayed the night. Karlee was happy to get away and see some family and Jeff was happy he got to ride the four wheeler.

Karlee wanted to wear a helmet so bad but it was a bit too big.

My grandma said this was my mom's rocking chair when she was about Karlee's age. It is still in great shape.

That was Karson's first trip and he did great. As long as that boy is fed he is good to go!

More Karson Pictures

Karson is 7 weeks old and is growing too fast! I don't know if it is because he is the 2nd child or because he is a boy but he doesn't get as many pictures taken of him as Karlee did. He is a sweet little boy and we just love him so much.

He sleeps so well when he is all wrapped up. For the last few weeks he has only gotten up one time in the night. He goes at least 7 or 8 hours before needing to eat again. I'm so happy he is a great sleeper.

Doesn't get much time on the floor because his big sister will come and attack (she means well, thinking she is just giving lots of hugs and kisses).

Karson loves taking baths!

He is staying awake more now but he still needs lots of naps during the day.

Karlee asks to hold her brother at least 10 times a day. I hope she still loves him this much when he starts playing with her toys.

4th of July Weekend

This 4th of July was special for us because Karson was blessed. Jeff's parents, his brother Brian, his brother Kyle & his family, and my sister Aubrey were all able to come into town for the weekend. Karson looked so cute in his little blessing outfit that Jeff's mom made for him. Karson did great during the blessing and didn't make a peep.

On Saturday we went to the park and the girls wore their swimsuits so they could get wet.

The girl cousins wearing their matching 4th of July shirts that Grandma Vocana bought them.

Karson's first 4th of July!

Jeff did some fireworks out on the street and Karlee liked them except for the green balls. She said they scared her. Then we drove down to a place in the neighborhood where we could watch all kinds of fireworks being let off throughout the city. It was a great view and they weren't loud so Karlee loved it.

Karlee is Two!!

Karlee turned two years old on Saturday!! These two years have gone so fast. Karlee is such a sweet and smart little girl. She talks all day, loves to learn, loves her friends and her little brother.
Karlee's favorite thing is Mickey Mouse so we had to have a Mickey party. Lucky for Karlee my mom was here visiting so she got a cool Mickey cake made by Grandma.

She also made mickey cupcakes.

We had a little friend party and then had some family come from St. George since my mom was in town.

The girls made these cute sun visors.

Karlee loved when everyone sang Happy Birthday to her.

Irelynn gave Karlee this little tutu and bow. She was thrilled.

Karlee got a bike! Doesn't she look like a little Diva?

Heidi pushing Karlee since she can't pedal yet.

My cousins Abby and Andrew came down from St. George. Karlee just loves them.

I can't believe how big my little girl is getting.

Daddy and Karlee

Karson missed all the fun. This is what he did all day.

Karlee had such a fun day! She loved all the attention and got tons of presents! Thanks everyone for making her day special.
