When you ask him what he wanted to be his reponse was "firefighterforhalloween" all one word. I didn't realize that he seriously thinks this is all one word until the other day when he was talking he said it as all one word. it's the cutest thing in the world! when you ask him today what he was for halloween he says "firefighterforhalloween" love it!<br /><div><br /><div><div><div><div><div>My mom came over early to give Carson some halloween presents.

He would walk right up and stick out his little arm with the pumpkin hanging on it and wait for his candy.

However, FINALLY after almost two hours, he wanted my mom to hold him. Luckily, we were at the end of our route. I'm pretty sure that he got two full pumpkins full of candy because he was the cutest firefighter on the block! He was so adament this year abuot what he wanted to be...i can't wait to see what he is going to be next year!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400460180241363346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzrX-O82-sdIqJE-0tc53SuYRtHkCBzDMR-K1RQ42v54MKl_NjzMXQg2f7fbHJavRP2Qbkj7c4O59vTfsnSj1_bWTfw3Ch7ufj4zKBOP-L4vOTTviOS4Rctt_pfAg76aRh_oNtLoUSJT4/s400/P1020493.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div>Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617415466630088599.post-47791332171898714892009-10-27T17:02:00.001-07:002009-10-27T17:09:26.015-07:00Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwuUb2aJTj6AUYA94pDL79L1C1bDNVbjmZlC3d69kg4ipgcXWQBDR00Ff2ul1TaQapQ4BcNq3VrOZoBELf1IBqkXEjEULh4Yfu3mg_-XrWwuhx065LZ7Wh04GrqvbD5_L2Rh18rwLpDSM/s1600-h/P1020473.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397435621068103314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwuUb2aJTj6AUYA94pDL79L1C1bDNVbjmZlC3d69kg4ipgcXWQBDR00Ff2ul1TaQapQ4BcNq3VrOZoBELf1IBqkXEjEULh4Yfu3mg_-XrWwuhx065LZ7Wh04GrqvbD5_L2Rh18rwLpDSM/s400/P1020473.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I've been looking for good and healthy (and tasty!)breakfasts for carson and i for a while as i've been in a rut latley with fruit oatmeal, eggs, toast, cereal... .

I made this last year and all i did was go to Michael's with 50% off coupon in hand and bought one of the black wreaths. I then bought the Halloween garland with pumpkins on it, wrapped it around the wreath and then added the Eek ornament that had a cute little bat on it. I hung it on Carson's bedroom door this year :) easy and cheap!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394455674877340498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiQXjqVSiBaAxBFINAxgfnoT2Nj6wDFbdvXQ0yFdSHUFcB4h5qkvXb-_vDZR4ZgQooCAXFVWco38tThUv8qZ2cmTZQqV4nQziEVWCKPd-Xsged2Qoe9IFfdDOUeyHMRC8ufIJV2NVspP8/s400/halloween+wreath+II.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div></div>Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617415466630088599.post-68814453734420051172009-10-16T19:37:00.000-07:002009-10-16T19:45:37.413-07:00Coffee Cake<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVgH-KvP3PqwQMzk_3DWp1nQhQKVm5z4H62JUIi3XaL1ywSbe3n3PcYReMR5bp4GA528VvquaKZX3YRO7-7yhfzRchdDVOuAny7KKmvV6hIWlNubwUiXa0rO68KhqWiTV4mNqhpC2x2f4/s1600-h/P1020395.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393394140136476562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVgH-KvP3PqwQMzk_3DWp1nQhQKVm5z4H62JUIi3XaL1ywSbe3n3PcYReMR5bp4GA528VvquaKZX3YRO7-7yhfzRchdDVOuAny7KKmvV6hIWlNubwUiXa0rO68KhqWiTV4mNqhpC2x2f4/s400/P1020395.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I got this recipe from my local newspaper.

The little man is just to funny these days...<br /><br />Carson knows four nursery rhymes by heart: Jack and Jill (his fave and happens to be what this little story is about) Baah Baah Black Sheep, Little Miss Muffet and Hey Diddle Diddle.<br /><br />His little cousin Addi fell the other day and i was telling Carson about it.<br />This is our conversation:<br />Me: Carson...Addi got hurt and had to go to the hospital to see the doctor like you did. She fell down...<br />Carson: and broke her crown??<br />Hilarious!<br /><br />There is a country song out by Zac Brown. Carson loves country music and we watch videos on tv sometimes and this happens to be a frequent one. The lyrics go "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand...."<br />This morning i start singing it...(of course, i don't say "ass" and i stop there and i've never sang this song out loud before...ever)<br />Me: I got my toes in the water...<br />Carson: Ass in the sand...<br /><br />I about fell over laughing.Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617415466630088599.post-39758173251437923322009-09-28T18:29:00.000-07:002009-09-28T18:52:19.478-07:00Loving FallToday officially felt like fall to me.

Sometimes weekend plans just don't turn out the way you hoped :) We were supposed to go ona 4 wheeling trip with friends last weekend but at the last minute, i found out that my parents could not watch Carson for us so we opted not to go. It wouldn't of worked out anyway because that same night, as i tell carson to give daddy a kiss goodnight and on our way to bed...i'm inthe kitchen andi hear a blood curdling scream! daniel comes running in thekitchen with carson in his arms and blood pouring, literally pouring out of his eye. it made me sick to my stomach...i was scared to look. I had a huge sigh of relief when i saw it was just a cut under his eye...but it was so close to his eye, i haved thanked the lord many times for it being under his eye. We got the bleeding to stop and waited about a half hour before we left for the hospital but i tell you...this little man is a trooper!!! He wanted to keep playing while i chased him around the living room wiping his face from the cut still bleeding! And once we got to the ER, he was such a big boy. They only had to glue it which was a huge relief. Cardinal Glennon is the best!!! Carson had many visitors through the weekend and got "get well" gifts too! haha spoiled much?? :)<br /><br /><div><div><div>I have to remind myself that these things will happen. I beat myself up about it because it could of been prevented...he walked into the living room to kiss daddy and tripped on....my yoga mat. ugh. and then hit his face on the juice cup he was carrying. double ugh. i was sick about it...but accidents happen and i've learned that you can't be to careful...even with a rolled up yoga mat. </div><br /><div>Here is the damage...our little rambo :) the cutest is when you ask him to do "strong boy" with muscles showing and this hat on :) so cute.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380033047203065682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbTNPKZdJrijKT4Zv5NZaXAIN1aDewivyqq-_RC3ivESX5v03aQyr5HtHuIjN6leJB1jTUHCfJgX_ZXS5sSdLGeLiXvz26FutzRdKycqKJ76K54IXpNH3BAeQQV7_lnLW5YA3QGSZ6Y9Q/s400/P1020358.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380032447076605378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_y0q5KdgVSKRu-_YRS0W59AXcfUXc2dAPOqkoIpZljcpdokOrQ5vSOQeHe8poAKY5Cfl0VdpFCa1aJu5tdg-LpLkRxwcNQuM5xErbWX2zo19Xx9KwMKt7NZ6IIhE5oc1X_YUQbYwZ88/s400/P1020346.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380031954208086226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZctfK2mVGcTQh42q18PARb6r9QBQNFfkPtDQuDTlNZpqP_2s_N4fsiYdkBXZ-8mZDCuBKyh1479coWFjKcmYKnzo30AphL31HwIG6-1DyYTzxLFyqYllVbHNpzgLzfgNFRhXRVkTDn-I/s400/P1020356.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div>Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617415466630088599.post-1958402521813287662009-09-07T11:29:00.001-07:002009-09-07T11:33:18.984-07:00Puppy Chow<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdOLmuZ127hY6c8hUSv9cj_XcZusLmsbUBcMLJFB1w4fPjMaYfD-DERwfXuJo3BL2WWuszf0xyYp8UCzwSbSvfzWdJ7i5VqA1RMPgTToGhkWfLxyWZ_t0q0P-iRjhWkWKUxQENvr7U0w/s1600-h/P1020351.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378795351191477570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdOLmuZ127hY6c8hUSv9cj_XcZusLmsbUBcMLJFB1w4fPjMaYfD-DERwfXuJo3BL2WWuszf0xyYp8UCzwSbSvfzWdJ7i5VqA1RMPgTToGhkWfLxyWZ_t0q0P-iRjhWkWKUxQENvr7U0w/s400/P1020351.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We went to a bbq over the weekend and i made this.

They are actually really comfortable too. Target has some really cute shoes out right now! I love heels but my feet sure don't! We just don't get along...as much as i wish we did! But they have a paid called Vonnie pumps in Caramel and i absolutely love them. I have wide feet and these are so comfortable! They are all under $40 each as well! I can see these with skinny jeans, skirts and tight with a belt. I'm sad summer is coming to and end but Fall is my favorite season!! This Ann Taylor sweater looks like the most comfortable thing in the world!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851089456272003861noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617415466630088599.post-42028358237220935042009-08-25T18:45:00.000-07:002009-08-25T19:27:20.917-07:00Vacation!!<div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMEdtJezasN_31zf8JhVZB8z5hI8eibw_2_pjtXr3q0QmowBw7six1sBCfvbyvGDhLvnqHCjspqGCdO370TzprgqyK1g3CJp1MaDYfxMobCpnHrgifAxe3TGqheBi6ss_hytX305cRWA4/s1600-h/P1020316.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374084582726378514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMEdtJezasN_31zf8JhVZB8z5hI8eibw_2_pjtXr3q0QmowBw7six1sBCfvbyvGDhLvnqHCjspqGCdO370TzprgqyK1g3CJp1MaDYfxMobCpnHrgifAxe3TGqheBi6ss_hytX305cRWA4/s400/P1020316.JPG" border="0" /></a> Carson and i had a blast!

Besides the birth of our son, this was my happiest and most memorable day! We were literally on top of the world...it had snowed *in june* and was rather cold. It continued to drizzle when the ceremony first started but as our minister started to talk about our love, the clouds parted and the sun came through. It was amazing! </div><br /><br /><p></p><p>We have been through a lot since we have been married and we have made it through <em><strong>together</strong></em>!
