Tag I'm it

So, our friend Brittany tagged me, and I"m finally getting around to doing it, I hope you're not all totally bored:) Here we go:

1. I love to sketch, mostly people, and actually used to be pretty good at it, someone even bought one of my picture once....

2. I have a terrible habit of chewing on my lip, which is why you will almost never catch me without my chapstick in my pocket

3. I would love to go back and get my masters in Psychology and go into family therapy, I still plan to do that someday.

4. I run everyday (althought at a snails pace) mostly to keep my sanity and balance out my large appetite:)

5. I didn't eat any meat other than chicken (unless you count bacon, which I never could give up) from tenth grade until I was pregnant with Carson (I'll have to tell you why some other time, it's a really dumb reason). I just finally added hamburgers back in this pregnancy, Rick is so thrilled!!

6. My favorite color is purple, which is why I am so excited to have a girl and decorate a room in lavender, and not fire trucks!!!

Hope that wasn't too unbearable, here goes, tag you're it:

Babies.........

First things first, I want to introduce Carson's new cousin Kaitlyn Anne Freel. Rick's sister Trisha was due Dec. 31st, but unexpectedly had her baby last week!! It was a little crazy at first, but Trisha and the baby are doing GREAT!!!

Kaitlyn weighed in at 3 Lbs 9 oz!! So tiny!!


Isn't she gorgeous?
And two weeks before Kaitlyn, our friends Chris, Kim, and Jada added little Kalle to their family. Carson is trying to keep his options open in case Jada doesn't want to marry him twenty five years or so:)
She is so cute!!! What a good baby too!! It gives me hope!!
Carson was so cute holding Kalle, it made me so excited to have a little girl in a couple months!! He will be such a good big brother (I hope). Naturally because of all the babies around, he has become obsessed with babies and points them out everywhere we go, but who can blame him, they are so cute!!! Poor Carson though, he is surrounded by WOMEN!!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!

I couldn't help the cheesy title, sorry!! So this week to escape all the craziness going on in our lives we decided to take Carson to the Miami zoo. We went about six months ago, but this time he seemed to really LOVE it!!


I think that Carson's favorite was the elephant!! They were so fun!!!


How cute are they in their sunglasses?

Carson LOVED the fish also.
It is important to stay hydrated in our hot "winter" weather, Carson did it by drinking our slurpee....
The petting zoo was kinda lame, but Carson loved petting a pig!!


I guess we wore him out, but it was a nice break for us to look at the animals and eat while he slept:)

The gorillas and chimps were the most fascinating to me, they are so similar to us in so many ways.... we watched this one through the window for at least a half hour!!! We had a great time!!
