Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

It was 3 years ago today that we said "I do." I know 3 years isn't really that long but so much has happened in such a short time. We moved to Granbury, both started new jobs, bought a house, and had a baby. I love telling people how we met. I was a Jr. High Youth Director and Kevin was working for a Jr. High Mission Trip called JUMMP. I took my students on the mission trip that was in Beaumont. At first I was not so fond of Kevin, he had given me some REALLY bad directions and got me REALLY lost. On Wednesday we were going out to a lake and he didn't have a ride. My mom made me invite him to ride with us. When we got to the lake he locked my keys in my trunk (another strike!). While we were waiting for the locksmith we started talking and I realized he wasn't that bad afterall. After the trip was over we started dating. We both knew pretty soon after we started dating that we were going to get married.

Kevin is the most wonderful husband ever. He takes care of me when I'm sick, helps around the house, loves me when I'm crazy (and when I'm not), is a FANTASTIC father to Carson, encourages me when I'm down, consoles me when I'm sad, laughs with me (and sometimes at me) and so many other things. I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful man.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our wedding (thanks mom for putting them on your facebook):

Sick Baby!

So Carson has been sick before with an ear infection and strep throat but he has never thrown up until yesterday.....

We went up to school to watch the 7th grade football game (Kevin has a bunch of students who play football). Carson was very still which is a VERY rare thing for him. He was just chillin and he wasn't very interested in eating goldfish. We didn't think much of it.

As we were leaving I stopped to talk to some people I know and then it happened. Carson threw up all over me and all over himself. I was so shocked and disgusted I couldn't move! Luckily Kevin was there and he moved us out of the way of everyone. We made it to the car and got him kinda cleaned up and headed home to put him in the bath.

I took the day off today because I thought he was sick but it must have just been something he ate because he was running around and screaming all day today. It was nice to have some time to spend with him during the week.

I guess I feel like an offical mom now that I have been thrown up on!! I'm sure that's not the grossest thing that will ever happen to me!!

Football

Well, since Tech won last year Carson had to wear clothes supporting Tech for the football game this year. Luckily Texas won this year, so he can look much cuter next year!! Carson has started doing so many new things that are so cute.

Here is what I can remember right now:

-When he wakes up he wants to take Tigger and his blanket out of bed with him

-He loves giving kisses to everyone (the dog is not so fond of this)

-When he is looking for something he bends over at the waist and tilts his head

-At nap time and bed time, when he is getting sleepy we ask him, "Are you ready to go night night?" If he is he will walk back to his room and try to climb in his crib. Most of the time he goes to sleep without a fight!!

-He is starting to actually play with the kids in the neighborhood. He really likes to watch the big kids play

-And the cutest thing...tonight after our prayer he said Aaaaaah men. It was precious.

-He has also picked up quite a few new words: book, up, please, thank you, uh oh

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks (sorry you have to turn your head sideways to see some of them, I can't figure out how to rotate them:

Carson's first Walk

Here is a picture from Carson's first walk. It was really cute to see him grasping for my hand. Of course he didn't have to hold my hand but it did help him walk quite a bit faster, which was probably his goal.
