a trip to the ER

we had our first visit to the ER last thursday night. carson and dada were out on a walk and carson fell off his truck onto the pavement (face first). we had a to wait for a long time in the waiting room, but little buddy did great (with the help of the movie 'cars' in jon's computer). by the time the doc saw him, it was close to 11pm. you would have never know...carson was so joyful, greeting everyone who walked by and eagerly asking for the doctor. he cried pretty loud when they were stitching him up, but as soon as they were done, he sat up and said, 'dank u docdor.' it was too precious. here are some pics of the injured boy!!!

spring fun

i haven't posted in a while...but we are still here. the weather has been so beautiful the last few days and we have been enjoying it as much as we can. carson and cody love to take long walks around the neighborhood, playing in the backyard, going to the creek, going to the park...you name it, they love it. here are a few pics of the last few days!

we had a picnic dinner with the simmons today at a park right next to regan airport. the planes flew right above our heads the whole time. Carson LOVED it!







Here is a shot of the boys playing in the backyard!

conversation of the day

carson and i ran some errands in the late afternoon (leaving cody at home in his crate). we were checking out at the grocery store and carson said to me, "home?" i asked him, "would you like to go home?" he said, "yes." he then said, "doggy night night" i asked, "is cody sleeping at home in his crate?" he said, "yes, home, doggy, play." i asked, "do you want to go home to play with cody." with a huge smile on his face he said, "yes!"

happy birthday carson

Carson turned 2 years old yesterday...my little baby is growing up so fast. we celebrated with some friends today...breakast at krispy kreme (one of his very favorites) and then to the park to play. he has been so excited that he couldn't nap today. he has been playing with his new toys and new best freind (cody).

here are some pics from the morning.
