Karson's First Birthday

Karson turned one on Tuesday. He had a very fun day. First, for breakfast we took him to Krispy Kreme to eat donuts. He loved the donut holes. He ate FIVE of them!!! Next, we went to get his first hair cut. We went to snip-its. It is one of those kid salons. He was so good the whole time. I blew bubbles at him so he would look forward. Then, we attempted to go to the Arboretum, but it was too crowded and by the time we got to the off site parking Karson was asleep. So instead we came home and he napped...maybe another day we can do the Arboretum. I think overall, Karson had a great first birthday!!!

Karson's Date with Olivia

"How you doin'?"

Finally they both smiled and looked at the same time!

On Saturday night we went to dinner at a friend from schools house. Maura has a daughter, Olivia, that is just a few months younger than Karson. They really didn't play too much together, but we did get one picture of them both looking at the camera at the same time. I think once they get a little older they will be good friends.

First Stars Game

On Saturday Karson went to his first Dallas Stars game. A coach from Kris' school had tickets and asked us to join his wife and him. The seats were great! Karson enjoyed the entire game. It was even better that they won. He even got a practice puck from one of the ushers. I am sure that there will be many more hockey games in his future!

Just One More Month

He loves his wagon

Karson shopped until he dropped!!!


Karson turned 11 months old last Tuesday. He is growing up so fast!!! I can't believe that he will be a year in less than a month now. He is doing so many great things, here are just a few highlights:
* He is drinking only from a cup for all but one feeding.

* He is crawling and cruising like CRAZY!!!

* He lets go when standing for just a second and holds his balance.

* He is VERY vocal. He talks and jabbers all the time!

* He LOVES to play ball with Hogan. They entertain each other for hours!!!

* He is completely off baby food. His new favorite food is avocado. But really he has yet to try a food he won't eat. At school Ms. Tiffonie calls him her "Garbage Disposal".

Visiting Grams & Duke in Granbury

Riding on Pop's rocking horse

Karson went to see Grams and Duke at their new "Texas" home in Granbury. They picked him up from school on Friday morning and he spent the night with them. Then Kris, Hogan and I went out there on Saturday afternoon. It was a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing their new "Texas" home. It will be nice to have them living closer to us.

Snow Fun

Passing the Time

We got hit by a snow, well mostly ice storm on Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Since, the temperatures have not gotten above freezing. Which has resulted in us not being able to go to school or Karson to daycare in four days. The first few days were fun, but we had another round of snow last night (about 6 inches) and so now it is just getting ridiculous. We have tried to pass the time the best we can. Yesterday the weather was a little better so we ventured to the mall. It was nice to get out of the house for a while. They say the temperatures should get above freezing tomorrow....but until then we will continue to find ways to pass the time.
