Well we have been staying busy, Chris had his kidney stone surgery and is feeling much better now after almost two weeks. Kailee has been sick for about the whole time, first with a runny nose for a week or so and now a fever added into it. Carson has his normal skinned up knees but he is doing great. He learned his abc's with a couple little changes like K K instead of J K and I think he skips M or N. I absolutely love how he says W though! Adorable! I go back to work Monday after two weeks of working from home :( I'm thankful for the time I got to spend at home though, I am so lucky to have a unit that supports me not only at work but with my family too! It sure does make it easier to handle everything! I hope you all are well and you enjoy the pictures and video!

Kailee is One!!!!

BLOG SLACKING ALERT!!!

2010-01-28T21:30:00.009-09:00

Sorry for the Confusion! The little guy you see running in and out of view is Carson's friend Julian.

Well, we have been slacking in the blog department lately! SORRY! Things are going really well here. Chris will finish with his BA in July or August so he is hard at it with schoolwork and the kiddos. Carson turned three last month and he is getting so big! He is getting smarter and smarter everyday. We finally found a church we love, Mililani Baptist Church, and he gets to go to Sunday School while we are at new members meetings and in church so he is having a blast. He keeps telling us that he wants to go to school everyday. They get to make crafts and sing songs and play so he has a blast. Kailee is already about to turn one! It is so crazy how fast time goes by! She took her first steps a few weeks ago, but up until today she had only taken two or three at a time. We all know how much she loves to eat, so leave it up to us to tease her with food to get her walking! We were so happy to finally get it on camera. She is going to be running around before we know it. We need to start planning her birthday party but we have to figure out what to do for a girl first :) We were thinking pink John Deere, but our neighbors don't like that idea for some reason! I guess we can leave John Deere for Carson, at least until she gets a little older. What can I say, our family can't resist it, tractors are just cool! She has also started waving hi and bye a lot in the past few weeks. We discovered two molars came through on the top also, so she is just making leaps and bounds this month! I have also had a big month. We had our unit Christmas party as soon as we got back from Texas and while we were there, they announced that I received Enlisted Person of the Year for our unit! I have had to work a lot of extra hours this month due to unit inspections, but those are finally overwith and everything has really calmed down so I am finally getting to relax and take a few days off to spend with the family and let Chris relax at least a bit! We hope ya'll are doing well! We miss all of you!

My New Camera

2009-12-01T21:13:00.005-09:00

Well, from this point on you can expect better quality pictures from us! Chris and the kids got me a new camera for my birthday! I got a Nikon D3000, and it is stinkin awesome! We are having a blast taking pictures with it. My mom and dad were just here for a week long visit, it never seems like we can get enough time to do everything here! We had a blast! We stayed at the Hale Koa Hotel on Waikiki Beach for one night and it was absolutely beautiful, too bad I didn't have the camera to take pictures there! We spent a few days at the beach and lagoons, went black Friday shopping, and enjoyed some yummy food for Thanksgiving! We can't wait to get home for Christmas; only a few more days!!!

Kailee's Ears are Pierced!

2009-10-18T13:27:00.004-08:00

Before

After!

You should be able to click on the pictures and make them bigger so you can see them better.

She did great! I was pretty nervous about basically hurting her intentionally, but she only cried for a minute and then she was fine. They look beautiful and she isn't acting like they are tender at all. What a great baby!

Anytime the camera comes out, Carson has to be sure there are some pictures of him! He is too funny! Oh, quick story about my little monster. We went to Dave and Buster's for Chris' birthday last month and luckily I bought two small cakes so we could have one there and one at home on his actual b-day. When I got home with the cakes, my wonderful little one decided he was going to help me by picking up the cake by the top cover and dropping it top down in the truck! Funny now, but really not funny then!!!

Kailee Can Crawl!

2009-10-02T16:04:00.003-08:00

Slow and steady, but Kailee is a crawler! I'm not sure we are ready for another mobile child, but there's nothing we can do about it now! Three days ago she started crawling and she stood up in her crib all in the same day! Crazy and Awesome all in one! Carson is getting so big, talking in full sentences and happy all the time. Oh, and loud too! Love it! Everything else is great. Chris is about to finish one set of classes and start another, so we are staying super busy. I just started psychology, so we will see how that goes! Miss you all!

Carson actually fell asleep before bedtime watching Curious George. That sure doesn't happen often!

Carson Playing with Kailee

2009-08-30T17:44:00.005-08:00

Just a couple of pictures and a video of Carson playing with Kailee. He had just woken up from a nap but he was keeping himself and her entertained for a while! We went to the beach today and had a blast. Carson is getting so big. He loves the waves and building and smashing sand castles! Especially the smashing part. Kailee is starting to spin in circles when she lays on the floor and she is sitting up really well. More updates to come! Miss you all!

Some Pictures of Kailee

2009-08-16T22:43:00.002-08:00

Kailee is starting to sit up some on her own and she has been sleeping in her own room now for a couple weeks. Carson is doing very well with her, he likes to feed her when she gets to eat baby food.

Happy Birthday to the Coast Guard

2009-08-01T01:32:00.003-08:00

Today we went to the Coast Guard day event at Barbers Point Air Station. They had a HC 130 Hercules and a HH-65A Dolphin Helicopter on display. Carson enjoyed flying them and was excited because they are like the toy ones he has at home. Below are some picture, we forgot the camera so I had to use my phone, sorry if they are a little blurry.

Carson looking out the window in a HC 130.

Then he went to the helicopter and got to sit in the front and back seats.

Texas Trip

2009-07-27T13:19:00.005-08:00

We went home to Texas at the beginning of the month. These are a few pictures from our trip.

Since it was so hot about the only thing we could do during the day was swim.

One of Chris's friends and his family came to spend a few days with us at the ranch. This picture is of Carson and Laura playing on the tractor.

Kailee got to go on her first John Deere ride, an experience everyone should have in their life.

The temperatures were very HOT!! I think it was above 100 degrees just about the whole time we were there. Kirsten's parents got a fun blow up slide for Carson to play on, I think the adults had as much fun on it as the kids did.

Grammy, Grampy, and Uncle Cameron

2009-07-06T23:18:00.008-08:00

Welcome to Hawaii!! We didn't get a picture of Grampy in his aloha gear!

We went to the Sea Life Park on Tuesday and got to swim with dolphins! It was amazing!

Chris and his dad went deep sea fishing on Thursday and caught this ono (sounds like oh no, haha) That name cracks me up!

Then we went shallow water fishing on Friday and April got to watch Carson and Kailee! It was awesome, Tammy and I were the big winners! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Happy Fourth of July! We walked about 3 blocks distance from the house to Sills Field here on the base and spent the day at the fair, then watched Kansas perform, and fireworks! The kids had a blast, Carson loved the loud stuff! They did a cannon blast for each state. I was already home with Kailee by the time they started but I could hear it loud and clear from the house even with the windows closed. Chris said Carson loved it, the noise didn't scare him at all, he just kept laughing and saying "WOW"

Waikiki Beach on Sunday, we went to breakfast at the Hale Koa then hung out at the beach for a while. Chris got a good sunburn on his back!

Everyone went to the Dole Plantation today (Monday) while I was at work.

The trip was awesome, we were so happy they came! We leave for Texas in two days! YAY!

Kailee Video

2009-06-25T16:24:00.002-08:00

Just wanted to post a video to show how big Kailee is getting. Everything is going great here! We are headed to Texas in a few weeks!!! I'll post some more pictures soon.

Trip to California

2009-05-28T09:31:00.004-08:00

Kailee and I went to California this past weekend to visit family. We got to see Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Winchester, Great Great Grandma Winchester, Great Great Uncle Russ, Great Uncle Greg, and cousins Maryann, Mike, and Nikki! It was a short trip, but we had a great time getting to see everyone! Chris left yesterday to spend a week in Texas helping my dad cut and bail the hay feild so it's just me and the kiddos until tomorrow afternoon when my sister gets here!! We are so excited to see her! Things are going really well. Both kids are getting big so fast! It seems like Carson learns new words and spits out longer and longer sentences everyday. I will post more soon!

Carson has been learning how to make faces, he's so funny!

Kailee got to spend a lot of time with her Great Great Grandma! She even fell asleep in her lap for about an hour!

Great Grandma Lorna's Trip

2009-05-16T10:40:00.003-08:00

Grandma Lorna came for a visit last week, and we had a blast. It is easy to forget how lucky we are to live here, but when someone comes to visit we always get to go out and see how great this island is! We had mother's day breakfast on Waikiki Beach, went to the Dole Plantation, Macadamia Nut Farm, Pearl Harbor Memorial, did the drive around the island, and I am sure I am missing something! There really is a lot to do here so we didn't even start to run out of things to do with her! Here are a few pictures from her trip.

Easter and More

2009-05-01T17:20:00.003-08:00

Ok, so these are just a bit late, but better late than never right!!!

It's Been A While!

2009-04-10T16:42:00.006-08:00

Ok everyone, sorry! We know it has been a while! It has been so busy, we went to Texas and got to see lots of family. We have been home for a bit over a week now, and we are already having withdrawls. Kailee is still really happy, she has really started smiling and cooing a lot more. Carson is really good at ignoring her, but every once and a while he will walk over and hold her hand or give her a kiss. Here are some pictures and videos from the past month.

Don't pay attention to the dates!

My Family, this was the first time in a while all three kids were home at the same time. We suprised my parents, they didn't know my little brother was going to be coming!

My sister Kathryn with Kailee

My brother Blake who just got orders to Italy! He can't wait to drive a mini cooper and meet Italian women! HAHA! He is excited!

Carson spent so much time in the barn, he loved climbing the stacks of hay.

Chris' Grandpa Evans

That boy really loves tractors, we couldn't keep him off of it!

We got a Kailee's five generation picture with Chris' side of the family!

Carson had so much fun with his Uncle Cameron, we got to help celebrate his 7th birthday!

Tammy and I took the kiddos to this really neat play place with all sorts of different bounce houses. It was great, they really burned some energy!

We got to spend some time at the lake with Chris' mom, sister, Grandpa, and nephew.

Here is a little video of Kailee, she has already changed so much!

Carson Kung-Fu Dancing

2009-02-26T11:53:00.002-09:00

We got the new Madagascar movie and found on the menu that it has all sorts of songs from other animated movies. Carson was dancing to all of them, but we thought this one was really funny. During the movie he was laying with Chris and everytime music started to play, he got up and jammed!

Playing at the Park

2009-02-21T21:39:00.003-09:00

Well we finally took Kailee out of the house today! We went to a birthday party then to the park on the Coast Guard base. Kailee and I laid out a blanket in the grass while everyone else played! The boys also made some new friends with some of the kids that live in our neighborhood. They got to play with his really cool four wheeler and tool toys! Now Carson is really going to want one!

2009-02-17T19:55:00.003-09:00

These pictures are kind of random, we just got our memory card back with the hospital pictures on it, so I wanted to post a few. Carson is still having a blast with Memaw and Trevor. Kailee is just adorable! Things are going great, her doctor's appointment went really well, as of yesterday she was only 2 oz less than her birth weight and healthy! I will add some more pictures later!

Carson and Kailee

2009-02-15T12:09:00.002-09:00

Carson has been doing such a good job as a new big brother! He is always wondering where baby is, and he and Trevor love to give her kisses. Kailee has her first dr. appointment today, so we will get to check her progress, and hopefully decide when we are going home! We can't wait to see all our family!

Carson and Trevor have gotten a lot of park time, thanks to Memaw! Lori has been such a huge help! It is so much easier adjusting to the one to two kid change with the help we have from her!

We thought this picture was hilarious, Trevor was trying to go up the slide, and Carson was trying to go down. You can really see the frustration here!!

Kailee Lynette is Here!!

2009-02-13T17:09:00.004-09:00

Hello all!! Well, Kailee is here! She arrived at 7:41 pm on Thursday the 12th. She was 8 pounds 4 ounces and 19 and a half inches. She is sleeping good, and is happy, unless I take to long to feed her! We think she looks so much like Carson did when he was born. We will post more pictures soon, we just got home so I wanted to add to the post! Thanks April for putting up the pictures for us!

The Big Day

2009-02-11T16:11:00.005-09:00

Well, as long as the hospital doesn't fill up, tomorrow is the big day! I'm really hoping labor is short so Carson can be a big brother by the end of the day. We will post pictures of both the kiddos as soon as we can.

Here is a weird thing we saw at the zoo, take a look at the turtle on the right, NO SHELL!!! CRAZY!!!

Update

2009-02-07T08:11:00.002-09:00

Well, Chris' mom and nephew made it to Hawaii, delayed four hours, but safe on Tuesday night. We have been staying busy going to the zoo and beach. Chris is trying everything he can think of to get me to go into labor, but nothing is working (suprise, suprise!). Hopefully Kailee will decide to join us soon, I am now 5 days overdue! We will add more pictures soon, but just wanted to put up a couple for now!

Jumpin on the Trampoline

2009-01-25T17:24:00.007-09:00

Carson is having a great time jumpin on the trampoline! He is learning so many new words everyday. It is amazing! Things are going really well here. Chris' mom gets here in about a week, and I'm due next monday, not that it means Kailee will get here then! I'm really feeling the prego symptoms, this girl is all up in my ribs! I had an appointment this morning, the doctor said she thinks it will be at least another week, but she didn't think I would have to go on the induction list! We shall see!! Here is a belly picture Chris took last week just in case you haven't seen the progress.

2009-01-15T08:40:00.003-09:00

I know I have not put up any pictures for awhile and everyone is letting me know about it. So here are a few from last week. I will try to get some more up soon.

Christmas

2008-12-30T18:38:00.003-09:00

Carson got a lot of fun things for Christmas, they included a trampoline that he got by combining some of his money he received. Here are a few pictures from Christmas day and a video of Carson jumping in the rain. He also likes to run on the trampoline because of how bouncy it is.

Happy Birthday!!

2008-12-24T16:31:00.004-09:00

Carson turned two today, time is flying by! We did not do much, he opened his presents shortly after he woke up, then he had a Dr.'s appointment for his two year old check up, and then when we got home and had his cake. These are a few pictures from his cake, he actually blew out his candle.

Carson has learned how to open presents.

Santa

2008-12-20T16:09:00.002-09:00

We took Carson to see Santa today. He wouldn't smile for the camera, but he didn't cry, so to me, it was a success! He's getting so big! It is hard to believe he will be two in just four days! Time really flies! All else is going great here, we wish it was cold. It doesn't much feel like Christmas time when you go outside wearing shorts and flip flops! I'm feeling good, I start working shorter hours the week after Christmas, and can't wait to sleep in at least a bit. I only have to work Monday this coming week, so we get to spend lots of family time together for Christmas, which I am really looking forward to! Chris' Grandparents get here in a few weeks, so we are really excited about that! It is such a blessing to get to see our families as much as we will this year. We miss you all, and hope your Christmas is amazing!

Update

2008-12-04T22:28:00.004-09:00

The last week has been full of fun days. We had Kirsten's family here for Thanksgiving. We did a lot of tourist activities and had a great time. Here are some pictures from some of our outings.

Glasses

2008-11-21T09:26:00.003-09:00

This morning Carson was sitting on the stairs yelling for me, I went to see what he wanted and this is what I saw. He had found Kirsten's glasses and could not see to walk down the steps, so he stopped and sat down to wait for help with a silly smile on his face.

New Spelling

2008-11-19T14:15:00.004-09:00

We have changed the spelling of our little girl. After a vote from our family and our personal favorite the spelling will be Kailee Lynette. Thanks to all of our family for giving their vote.

California Trip

2008-11-14T13:24:00.002-09:00

These are a few pictures of Carson with his Great Great Grandparents, and Great Grandparents. We had a good trip and enjoyed seeing everyone. Carson got to go to his first play, Kirsten's cousin was in it. It was a Seussical (Dr. Seuss musical) and Carson loved the music and characters.

Peter Pan

2008-10-31T22:10:00.001-08:00

Carson was Peter Pan for Halloween, he did really well and even danced for a guy when he got his candy.

Driving The Tractor

2008-10-14T14:39:00.004-08:00

The first two pictures are of Carson helping drive the tractor, and the last one is Carson and Chris on top of the bulldozer. Carson loves to be on the tractor, when you put his ear protection on he knows where he is going and runs to the tractor.

Playin in Grandma and Grampa's Back Yard

2008-10-11T13:33:00.006-08:00

Carson is having a great time in Texas! He has been able to see lots and lots of family, and pet some cows too! We had a new calf join us two days ago, and Carson got to see it right after it was born. Oh how we wish vacations would never end!!!

2008-10-06T18:21:00.002-08:00

Jeff (Kirsten's dad) and I cleared a lot of land the last couple days. This is a video of me doing my part on the bulldozer.

It's A Girl!!!!!

2008-09-18T17:06:00.005-08:00

Well we had our first ultrasound today and found out we are having a GIRL!!!! We are so excited! We decided to name her Kayley Lynette. She is already really active, kicking and flipping all around! The pictures came out so clear! All else is great!

2008-09-05T13:20:00.001-08:00

We went to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor today. These are a few pictures from there.

Pictures From The Island

2008-09-04T13:06:00.003-08:00

We went for a drive around the island yesterday, these are a few pictures from Hanauma Bay. The ocean on one side of the road and mountains on the other, it was a nice drive.

2008-09-03T11:33:00.002-08:00

Carson still loves to dance. I do not know where he learned to move his hips the way he does but it is fun to watch.

2008-08-29T23:21:00.003-08:00

Carson has learned that there is a never ending bed of rocks on the side of the house. He has become an expert at throwing them and it keeps him entertained for hours if we let it.

Fun

2008-08-09T18:26:00.004-08:00

A video of Carson riding his John Deere four wheeler today.

Aquarium Day!

2008-07-26T07:46:00.005-08:00

We had a full day at the aquarium! Carson got to see everything from tiny fish to a shark to a tiger! He had a blast, it was amazing to see how interested he got at some of the tanks. He sat at one for about 15 minutes with his grandma just watching the fish. At the end of the aquarium, there were some sting rays that we got to feed, and Carson even touched a few! If you come to Denver, I recomend the aquarum! They had such neat displays and it wasn't short! We had a blast, but by the time we made it to the airport to pick up grandpa, and handed Carson his puppy (yup, it's a monkey, but it's name is puppy) he just curled up in his stroller and passed out!

Back Yard Play

2008-07-24T06:58:00.002-08:00

Carson was having a good time playing in Aunt Kary and Uncle Jonathan's back yard, there was a squirrel laying on the fence, and I just thought it was hilarious how it just plopped down!

Colorado!!!

2008-07-22T20:19:00.003-08:00

We made it!!! Carson did really well on the flight, he was already looking for a comfortable position to fall asleep while we were taking off! Of course he woke up a few times but all in all, he only cried for about five minutes!!! I am hoping that the flight home goes that well! He is doing really well here in Colorado, we went to Jazz in the Park, and he danced the whole time . . . of course! We ate at Texas Roadhouse, we rode the light rail (he had a lot of fun watching everything go by the window), and played trivia at one of the restaurants here. It has been so much fun, and we are really excited because Grandma gets here tomorrow, and Grandpa gets here friday!!

4th of July

2008-07-14T15:50:00.003-08:00

These are some pictures from the fair that we went to on the 4th, I know they are late. Carson had fun riding on the swing, petting the animals and then at night he watched fireworks while sitting on my shoulders. He has also become an expert at popsicle eating.

Short Hair

2008-07-01T19:44:00.004-08:00

We finally gave Carson his first real hair cut. It is warm here so we decided to give him a buzz cut, it made him look older, like a little boy. Guess now he is ready to be a big brother. Kirsten has her first DR. appointment on the 7th we should find out a due date then. Not like a due date really matters, it will get here when it is ready.

Counting and Playing

2008-06-24T18:25:00.003-08:00

Carson has started to count to three!! He tries to move his fingers with it sometimes, but cant seem to get all three up together yet!! We have been so busy still getting everything settled but I think we might finally have done it!! Work has been really good. The girl that works in the same office as me is really sweet. I have really enjoyed getting to come home so early, but it is still a bit of a transition getting used to waking up earlier! Things are going great! We miss you all!!

We finally have all of our family together!

2008-06-22T21:43:00.006-08:00

We finally got our dogs back with us. Carson loves having them back, he loves to throw the ball for them and lay in the floor with them. Thing are going well in Hawaii, we finally got everything unpacked and the house set up. Hope that everyone in Alaska is staying dry, we are dry and warm here!!

Misty Fjords Flight

2008-05-23T13:35:00.002-08:00

These are some pictures from our flight to Misty Fjords, the music to it is from our former pastor, Kevin Gould, he wrote the songs and sang on a few of them. Hope that you enjoy, it is about 18 min. long so hope you have some time.

2008-05-22T16:26:00.004-08:00

Carson likes to pretend that he is the one playing the piano and he likes to move his body to the rhythm!!!

Party

2008-05-18T20:51:00.004-08:00

We had a get toghether/going away party today with all of our friends from Clover Pass Church. The weather was amazing - 65 degrees, blue sunny sky!! All of the kids went outside to play, they were so cute. We are really going to miss all of our friends!!!

Carson and Chris also got out early this afternoon to practice throwing rocks, they are so adorable!

Float Plane

2008-05-17T21:02:00.002-08:00

Well, Chris and I finally took the float plane tour to Misty Fjords for our anniversary (just a few months late!!). We were so glad we did that before leaving Ketchikan. The scenery was amazing! We had a great pilot, and the plane wasn't as scary as we thought it would be. I think it is actually a more smooth flight than flying in a regular plane. We took a two hour tour with some of our friends. The pilot landed on one of the lakes, and let us get out on the floats. It was so neat, but a little scary with nothing to hold onto. I reached down and felt the water . . . FREEZING!! It really would have stunk to fall in!!! We had an amazing time, it was so worth it!!

2008-05-02T14:31:00.001-08:00

It is kind of nice having an empty house, there is not much for Carson to get into. He also likes it because he can hear his echo.

2008-04-28T09:19:00.002-08:00

We have been busy with selling the house and the movers here last week but these are a few pictures so that you grand parents do not start crying about new pictures!!!

2008-04-04T17:55:00.002-08:00

Just a few pictures of Carson that we took this week.

Easter Egg Hunt

2008-03-23T18:22:00.001-08:00

2008-03-22T10:07:00.000-08:00

Carson Had his picture taken with the Easter Bunny!

Can I Fit?

2008-03-17T10:14:00.000-08:00

Just Talkin Away

2008-03-03T16:29:00.002-09:00

Man, he sure can talk! I just wish we knew what he was saying! Chris and Paul had gone up to our neighbor's house, and carson watched them walk up the whole way. He knew where they were, and couldn't wait for daddy to get home!!! He's so fun, I just love listening to him talk!!

Dance

2008-03-01T07:09:00.001-09:00

Carson immediately starts to dance when any music comes on. He loves music videos.

Just a Video for the Family

Carson Cleaning Out The Pantry

2008-01-25T15:56:00.000-09:00

It's Been A While!!!

2008-01-23T10:01:00.000-09:00

Well it has been a while since we posted pictures or videos, and everyone has really been letting us know!!! Here are some pictures and a couple of short videos that have been taken since we have been back in Ketchikan. I PROMISE there will be more to follow, and don't worry Mom, they will be longer videos! I already know these are only going to hold us over for a day or two! Seriously though, look at that belly! The boy really can eat!

Carson has been in a really fun mood the last few days. This is just a short video of it.

The Many Faces of Carson

2007-11-10T15:44:00.000-09:00

Wow! These are just a few of the many, many expressions we see from Carson! He is so entertaining! Everything is going so smooth right now, we are just starting to prepare for our trip home!!!!! We are so excited, first for Kary's wedding, and second for getting to spend some time with family! Carson is changing daily, he took his first solo steps last Saturday, but hasn't work up the nerve to try again yet. He took two steps first, then at separate times took another step, then two more. It has been so great, but I can't believe how fast it's going!! We hope everyone is doing well!!!

Carson In The Dog Cage

2007-10-29T09:11:00.000-08:00

Carson likes to go into the dog cage and play. He is getting close to walking, I don't think it will be to long before he does. We will be in Texas in 21 days!!!!!

Just a couple of cute pictures of Carson.

2007-08-28T16:42:00.000-08:00

Carson has started to crawl on his hands and knees, but still crawls on his belly when his knees slide out from under him.

2007-08-21T09:32:00.000-08:00

Just a couple pictures of Carson from the last few of days.

2007-08-06T19:43:00.000-08:00

Carson has started to crawl in his own way, kind of a scoot. He also has got his first tooth, started to clap and says dadda and mamma. Its been a busy week.

A Few Pictures

2007-07-22T06:52:00.000-08:00

The weather has been ok the last few weekends, so we have gone for a couple of hikes. Carson loves to be outside, he makes noise until he falls asleep in his carrier. We have brought our dogs and they get so tired that by the end you are having to push them to keep going, then they get home and sleep the rest of the day. Carson loves to stand in his crib, and he has started to let go of the side and stand for just a second and catch his self before he falls.

Pulling Up!

2007-07-03T19:23:00.000-08:00

Wow, how time is flying! We cannot believe how fast Carson is reaching milestones! He is stuck on pulling up in his crib every time we put him in there now. I don't know if he will ever fall asleep again! He has started getting into position to crawl, but the rocking hasn't started yet. I think we have at least a little while before that starts! I am sure it will sneak up on us also. Chris has been ready for the crawling stage since I was about 3 months pregnant, so the cabinets are all locked up. I am sure there are going to be all sorts of fun things for him to get into though. Dog water, food bowls, stereo knobs! We are excited to see what is to come.

2007-06-11T18:03:00.000-08:00

Carson has started to sit up for short periods of time by himself. We got him a new jumper set today and he jumped in it for about two hours straight and then passed out in it.

2007-06-08T18:31:00.000-08:00

We have had nice weather here the last few weeks, giving us a chance to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. Carson started daycare this week on Wednesdays and Thursdays, he will not pay attention to me when I go in and check on him during the day, he is interested in all the other kids and toys.

Man, I love this kid!

2007-06-04T21:40:00.000-08:00

We have such an expressive little boy! He slept on his belly the first time the other day. Normally he will wake up and start to cry when he rolls over. Not that time, he was out! His clothes just keep getting more adorable. He wore his first real T-shirt on Saturday. I thought it was the cutest thing in the world! The weather has been a lot nicer the past couple of weeks, so we have had some time to get outside work done, and go for some walks. We actually got into the 80's at the house on Sunday, to bad I had duty! We still enjoyed it, Chris and Carson came to visit and we had a little picinic on the base. It still shocks me how much he is growing! He's getting close to 6 months now, so I know the milestones are going to be here before we know it!

Silly Carson

Carson was Jumpy

2007-05-25T19:39:00.000-08:00

Carson was having fun jumping in his bouncy chair this evening.

Sun in Ketchikan!!!

2007-05-17T17:43:00.000-08:00

The weather has been wonderful here. Carson has actually been able to enjoy being outside for a change! Everything else is going great, I just can't believe he is almost 5 months old! We will post more pics soon!

2007-05-01T07:59:00.000-08:00

Carson has started doing fuzzy bubbles. He has his four month check up today and shots. He has also started sleeping in his own room now, he was moving around too much to stay in his bassinet.

Sharing with the dog

2007-04-17T10:20:00.000-08:00

Carson ate for the first time today from his high chair, it did not take him long to learn to share with the dog. We weighed him yesterday and he is about 15.5 lbs. He is starting to get picky about some things, like cereal with his milk and people paying attention to him. He is also starting to get vocal about things, he makes noises the whole time you go over bumpy parts of the road (which is from our house until you get into town). He also rolls from his back to his stomach and his stomach to his back now.

Trip to California

2007-04-10T08:07:00.000-08:00

These pictures are from California, it was nice there, the weather was warm and we got to see a lot of family. We can not wait until we are close to our family, not too much longer. The first picture is the first time Carson went swimming, the second picture is Carson with his Great Great Grandparents, and the last one is with his aunt, uncle and cousin.

Roll Over

2007-04-02T08:35:00.000-08:00

Carson had a couple of big days, yesterday he went swimming for the first time, and then he slept through the whole night, and the he rolled over this morning. He almost made it over yesterday but could not quite make it all the way. We will be home tomorrow and add some pictures from our vacation in California.

Pictures of Carson This Week

2007-03-22T12:36:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to put up some new pictures of Carson. We are going to California next Friday for our anniversary to see Kirsten's great grandparents (which Carson and I have not met yet) , her grandparents, and aunt and uncle.

Hi everyone,

Carson is doing great! He is up to 14 pounds (look at that belly!) and 25 1/2 inches! He really is growing fast. He made a new friend today, his duckey rattle! He loves it. We were also doing some practice on funny faces, he is the champ! We are so amazed at how quickly he is changing. I started back to work on the 1st. It was very very hard, but knowing Carson was here with Chris and not someone we didn't know made it a lot easier. Everything else is going great. We hope everyone is well!

Oh Yeah

2007-02-22T17:01:00.000-09:00

Oh Yeah,

Almost forgot! We had some pictures taken while we were home. They turned out amazing! I can't believe how great they are! Carson looks (and is) perfect!!! This is just a couple, the prints are on the way!

Back in AK

2007-02-22T16:23:00.000-09:00

Hi Everyone!

Well we are back in Alaska. We had a great trip home, and we already miss everyone so much. We didn't really realize how much of a difference 5 weeks makes with Carson. He has already changed so much. He gets so excited watching his mobile's, before he didn't even really notice them. He can stand up for a couple of seconds (with balance help from mom and dad of course), and it seems like he really wants to start to grab onto things in front of him. I know he can get a good handful of hair and hold onto that when he wants to! I can't wait to see all of his changes to come, but it really does seem like it is all happening to quickly! We are so excited to hear of more baby news! Congratulations to Matthew and Caren and Kristi and Jeremy! We are so excited for ya'll! More friends for Carson! We will post more pictures soon!

Smile

2007-01-25T15:43:00.000-09:00

Carson is very happy in Texas, every day he is smiling more and being more alert. It is very fun for his parents to see him change and develop every day.

Texas

2007-01-23T16:05:00.000-09:00

The trip to Texas is going GREAT. Carson has got to meet all his grandparents, and most of his great grandparents. He will meet the rest of his great grandparents in about a week and a half. We hope that everyone in Alaska is doing well.

Sad Goodbye

2007-01-12T07:12:00.000-09:00

Carson is going to miss his dogs, but he is excited to be leaving in just a few hours to see his family. We are still not packed but we are working on it slowly, it is hard to pack for five weeks. Hope everyone has a good day and soon there will be some pictures on here from Texas!!!

Carson @ 2 Weeks

2007-01-10T09:11:00.000-09:00

This week Carson took a couple naps in his crib all by himself, he has been holding his head up a lot more, and already trying to roll over! Last night he slept for about 4 1/2 hours straight, Chris and I really enjoyed that. I can't believe how awake he has been during the day, hopefully the time change doesn't do to much damag to his sleep schedule too much. I am sure that with sun coming up at 8:00 and getting dark here at 3:30 there is going to be at least a little change from here to there. We are really ready to get home and see everyone, Carson especially. It is going to be a great five weeks!

Hello

2007-01-03T16:51:00.000-09:00

Hello, Carson had a Dr. appointment today. He is healthy and doing well, he is up to 8 lbs and 4 oz. Hope everyone is doing well and we look forward to seeing everyone in Texas soon!!

One Week Old

2006-12-31T16:54:00.000-09:00

Carson has been a lot more awake today. Kirsten and I made it through our first night alone and everything was fine. He has been smiling more today and he is making more facial expressions.

Family Visit

2006-12-30T18:02:00.000-09:00

We enjoyed having some family visit this week! Carson got to spend some time with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kary, and future Uncle Jonathan! It was a huge help to have them here when we came home. We wish they didnt have to leave. We cannot wait to get home and see all the rest of the family! We will be in Texas 14 days from today!

He's finally here!

2006-12-25T16:12:00.000-09:00

No Change

2006-12-20T17:11:00.000-09:00

Hello all, not much of a change since the last doctors appointment. We have a non-stress test on Friday where they will monitor the baby for about an hour to make sure everything is all OK with him. From there we will decide if we want to start the process to induce, which would probably start labor on Christmas Eve. Hopefully we won't have to wait that long! We will keep you all updated!
