Rambo!

Never a dull moment! 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?? :)

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.

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.

Puppy Chow

We went to a bbq over the weekend and i made this. An oldie but goodie. This stuff is addicting...can't keep your hands out of the bowl...addicting :)

1/2 cup butter

1 cup peanut butter

2 cups milk chocolate chips

1 (17.5) ounce rice cereal

1 pound (give or take?) powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter and milk chocolate chips. Pour over cereal and toss til well coated. Place cereal in a paper sack-add powdered sugar and shake til all coated. Tip...store in freezer. SO GOOD!

Feel Good!

I read this today and it struck a cord with me. It's something i need to have in my pocket at all times so that when my attitude even slightly waivers, this is what i turn to. I think we all need this and should remember this. It's such a good inpirational message! Have a great weekend! Ours will be filled with friends, family....and most importantly...wedding dress shopping for nikki's wedding! YAY!

Fall is in the air

I was at Target yesterday and these two boots caught my eye! 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!

Vacation!!

Carson and i had a blast! He was a little scared of the ocean at first but he warmed up to it! When he was one...he had no problem what so ever with the ocean but now he's older, he is more aware and can be scared of things...they are fearless when they are that young. It was so much more fun this year because he was able to run around the pool and in the sand. i can't wait to go again next year. This is Carson and Sam, my sisters fiance. They were best buds by the end of the trip!! I love this pic! This is my dad, aka...Papa! Carson absolutely loves him!!!! My dad is the best!





This was by far...hands down...without a doubt his favorite thing to do! Play with the water hose! People would walk up from the beach and he would be the one to rinse off their sandy legs. He also loved squirting his cousin addi. It was hilarious!

Ready to hit the road! Til next year PCB!
