Crazy Kids and Two Teefies

Are you sure you want to take our picture?!

Carson's bottom teeth

Just thought these pictures of Syd and little Carsy-man were cute. Any picture session with the two of them is quite funny. I also wanted to share Carson's two bottom teeth. They came through a couple weeks ago and are still growing away. Those little boogers sure are sharp!

Carson's First Thanksgiving

We did our usual traveling for Thanksgiving this year. We went to Nashville Wednesday night so Cam could hunt on Thursday. After eating lunch at his Granny's we headed back to Little Rock. We stayed with Mimi and DoDo in Conway Friday night before heading to Searcy Saturday to have dinner at Aunt Robin's. It was great getting to spend time with everyone. Here are a few pictures of Carson enjoying himself as usual.

What a ham!

What a talented boy, "Look Mom, no hands"

THANK YOU MIMI FOR COMING UP TO KEEP CARSON MONDAY AND TUESDAY!!

My Little Pilgrim

Sydney coming in for her Thanksgiving program
"Okay Mom, enough with the pictures"

Sydney was a pilgrim in her Thanksgiving program at school. They sang songs then had pumpkin pie and cranberry juice. It was short, but sweet and terribly crowded. Fulbright is getting WAY too big. I couldn't actually see Syd at all while they were singing. I'm know she did wonderful because I heard the songs at least a thousand times before the program. :)

Miss Priss

I thought I would post this cute picture of Syd. She is back to her prissy self now that she is all well. Carson is our sick baby now. Looks like they are just taking turns. We took him to the doctor Friday for a very bad cough, but turns out he has an ear infection. Shortly after we left he started pulling on his ears and has been pretty fussy ever since. We've started his antibiotic and hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. Cam just got home from another work trip to Florida late last night, so Syd and I took a girls trip to Firefly today to paint some pottery. We left the boys at home napping and had a great time.

Will's Birthday Party

Last Sunday we went to Will's 2nd birthday party at Wonder Place. Will was so excited when Sydney got there so she spent most of her time playing with him. He just loves her and she loves it. Carson had a great time playing in the baby water table. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!!

Carson Crawling

Carson has been crawling, if that's what you call it, for the past couple weeks. He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth but falls back to his stomach before he starts to crawl. He pulls with his forearm and elbow, and pushes with his feet. One knee gets going but the other won't work with it. He looks like an army guy crawling on the ground.

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We took our pop star, Hannah Montana, and the "Great Pumpkin" to our church for Trunk or Treat. We also did a little trick or treating at the neighbors and Kayla's house. Ryan and Ashley brought Davis by to visit in his chili pepper outfit. We only had a few trick or treaters at our house after we got home, but Syd and I had fun passing out candy.

What an adorable trio

Family Update

The past week or two have been very busy for our family and I haven't had much time for blogging. I've got lots to add!! Carson is now seven months old, sitting up by himself, and trying to crawl. His two bottom teeth came through last weekend, and we've just finished a steroid to take care his case of croup. Sydney is doing great in school. She did wonderful on her first 9 weeks report card...all 2's and 3's (on and above grade level) and a 99% in math. Her reading level is 2 points away from what they expect at the end of first grade, so she's moving right along. We're very proud of her. She also went to the Hall of Fame assembly last week at school. I didn't get the note about it so there are no pictures, but she got a certificate and a free meal at Purple Cow. I had to take her to the doctor yesterday and we found out that she has walking pneumonia. We have started her meds and hopefully it will be cleared up soon. We're counting the days till the Hannah Montana concert! Sydney and Bradi are so excited. I'm still busy, busy, busy with school (work) and school (UCA). My first 6 hours of grad school are beginning to wind down and Christmas break is coming soon. YEA! Cameron just got a promotion at work...we're very excited and proud of him. He is on his way back from a business trip to Florida, on which he was told he'd be going to a "work conference" at Disney World in January. I'm a little disappointed that the kids and I (at least Syd) won't be able to take that trip with him. Here are some pictures of what we've been doing lately.

Sydney and Carson have been doing lots of playing at home. She is great with him and he's getting big enough to play with her more. They keep us laughing! My friend Sarah and her daughter Lyla came in from OKC to visit. Several of us got together for lunch last Saturday. We had a great time gabbing as usual. Our waiter obviously wasn't a professional photographer.

Carson missed out on all the fun because he was sick. I didn't think everyone else would appreciate children with croup. He stayed home and napped with his Daddy.
