Cruising in the mustang

Carson loves to ride in the car with Claire. He also loves to play the radio. One night we let Claire take Carson for a ride down the street. They had so much fun!

Fun with Friends

Peyton and Reagan came over on Labor Day to play with Claire and Carson. The two little ones watched while Claire and Peyton had a blast driving the car. Claire is still learning to drive the car, but loved that Peyton was here to drive her around. They have so much fun together.

Carson 9 months

At Carson's 9 month doctor's appointment his stats were:
19 lbs. 13 1/2 oz. (25%)
28 inches (59%)

He has his two bottom teeth and the top two front teeth are currently coming in. He has been doing the army crawl for the past three months, but is now actually crawling on his hands and knees. The boy is all over the place! He's pulling up on everything and is now walking behind chairs and his push toy. He's growing so fast. What a sweet little boy he is!

Claire and Peyton.....Best Friends

Claire and Peyton are the best of friends. They have so much fun playing together. She is very fond of her friend "Peyt," as she calls him.

Birthday Morning

Sunday morning we woke Claire up by singing "Happy Birthday" to her. She wore her birthday tiara and blew out the candles on her eggo for breakfast. We asked her how old she was and she said "two" while holding up three fingers. She knows how old she is but we need to keep practicing holding up two fingers!

Before church, I got a cute picture of Claire and Carson. He's almost as big as she is!

Claire's stats at 2 years old: height 33 1/2 inches (50%)
weight 26 pounds (25%)

My Gym Birthday Party

Claire celebrated her birthday with some of her friends at My Gym on Sunday. Bre and Lauren, her teachers, entertained the kids with songs, puppets, games, bubbles and the zip line. The birthday girl made a big entrance on her throne with a boa and balloons. She paraded around the circle giving her friends high fives! They sang "Happy Birthday" to her while swinging in front of everyone. It was a great party and all the kids loved it. Thanks to Bre and Lauren for making it so special!

Claire's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Claire's birthday on Saturday at our house. Family and friends came over to eat cake and ice cream with the birthday girl. She received many wonderful gifts which she loved!

Cute boy in his overalls

I took these cute pictures of Carson in our front yard. I just love baby boys in their overalls. He loves to smile for the camera!

Claire's first day of school

Today was Claire's first day of school. I decided to put her in a school program once a week for social interaction. I thought she would get to play with friends and learn some things too. The school is right behind our house so we walked this morning. She was so excited to put on her backpack and go. She had a great day and I know she can't wait to go back next week!

Carson's new tub

Carson has finally graduated to the duck bathtub. He loves splashing and playing with his bath toys. The other night I put both of them in the tub, thinking Claire would just sit in the front of the tub with Carson in his tub. The first thing she did was get in the duck tub with him. Luckily they are still little because they both fit! It was too funny!

Happy 8 months Carson

I can't believe that Carson is 8 months old. He is growing up way too fast! He is sitting really well and scooting all over the place. He has started to pull up on things and I find him getting into everything. Claire likes to help him get up the step in the kitchen and he loves following her everywhere. They really enjoy each others company a lot!!

Children's Museum in San Louis Obispo

We took the kids to the Children's Museum in San Louis Obispo. It was a great museum and they both enjoyed it. Claire was all serious that day, taking it all in. They had an area for children ages 4 and under and Carson loved playing with the train. We look forward to going back next year.

Avila Beach

Went spent two long weekends at Avila beach with the Williams side of the family. It was a lot of fun and great weather. Claire had a blast playing in the pool and hot tub and enjoyed going to the beach. We went to the Farmer's Market in San Louis and Avila and really enjoyed the great food and fresh fruit. Claire had fun playing in the bounce houses and dancing to the music. Carson was along for the ride and enjoyed watching everyone. It was a great trip and we look forward to going again next year.

Carson's new toy

Carson loves his new exersaucer! He really enjoys playing in it and I love knowing that he is in one place. He is scooting all over the house so this is great at keeping him out of trouble!

Friday Night Fun

We had some friends over last night to cookout and swim. We are all in a small group together and haven't seen each other much this summer. We had a great time hanging out and swimming with everyone.
