Messy Eater

 Eating chicken

 Licking the BBQ sauce off his fingers

 Yummy!!!

Loving his corn on the cob, but he won't put down his chicken

 Yummy beans!!!

Looks like he has a bean beard

Lately Karson has had quite the appetite, I think it is  result of swimming daily and working up that appetite.  And being Mr. Independent he wants to do it all on his own...which leads to some messy eating.

 Donuts- check, milk- check, ready to go!!!

Last Saturday morning we all went up to Plano and did a 5K.  The proceeds went to the Plano Education Foundation.  Since Kris works for Plano and we love to run or walk, we were all about it.  Kris ran, while Karson rode in the stroller while I pushed him while walking. It was a fun time!

These days....

He loves to color with his new "magic" markers...
Playing with his many "Buzz" dolls
(you think he has enough???)...

And eating cake and making icing beards.

Petting the chick

Fell asleep with Buzz as soon as we got in the car

On Easter morning we went to church and then to the Petroleum club for brunch. Karson enjoyed getting his Easter basket that morning before church. His favorite thing was his new stuffed Buzz doll. They have not parted since he got him. He also enjoyed the petting zoo animals at the club during brunch. He however wanted nothing to do with the Easter bunny, maybe next year.

Family Fun

Playing with his new toy
Getting Nana with his sword (instead of hunting eggs)

Popping the bubbles with his sword

Our attempt at a bluebonnet picture-- unfortunately

Karson did not like sitting in them-- as you can see it did not

turn out as planned

This was more his style-- ridding the four wheeler with Uncle Chris

On Saturday we went to my Aunt's house to celebrate Easter with a craw fish/ shrimp boil. It was a great idea! The food was great! The kids played the whole time. They had an egg hunt in the front yard. Karson was not too into the egg hunting this time because Aunt Mandy had given him a new sword. He was more interested in playing with his new toy, rather than collecting eggs. I think his favorite part was riding the four wheeler. He wasn't a fan at first, but after he rode with his daddy he took a liking to it. Then he rode with my Uncle. Every time they stopped he would say"Go, go". He cried when it was time to get off of it.

Hunting Eggs

He was a pro at picking up the eggs

Look at that stash

A rare family photo

On Friday we went to the Arboretum for an Easter Egg Hunt. Karson did well hunting for the eggs. He also loved getting the candy out of them when he was done. It was a fun day!

Party Time

Ready to party

On Saturday March 17th we celebrated Karson's 2nd birthday party. We had the party at Little Gym. It was a great party. They kept the kids entertained the whole time and did everything for us. I'm not sure how we will beat this party next year.
