Carson's Summer & Dinner Idea

My oldest son, Carson has been a little traveler this summer. He has hardly been at home and I have missed him so much! He is off again tomorrow to spend the week with his cousin at their grandparents house. Good thing they live only 30 mins north of us. I don't think I can handle another week of not seeing my sweet little man! Carson is really enjoying his summer travels and we have an upcoming beach trip to look forward to, but I must admit I miss the every day routine during the school year. This year Carson will be entering K5 in a new school and we are excited about what is in store for us this year.

While Carson is away, Brian & I are trying out new recipes of things Carson would not typically eat. Here is the Cheesy Taco Mac that we had last week. We had this with a salad and it was super yummy! I love this blog. She has some of the best recipes. Now the hard thing is, what are we having this week?

Memorial Day Weekend!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We had a wonderful time hononoring our service Men & Women with lots of friends and family! Among our list of fun activities was a lot of swimming, eatting and enjoying the company of those who served in our great military! We had a busy Memorial Day. We started the weekend off with a end to our Tball season. We had our team party with a cook out and play time with friends. We had a great team this year and our coaches will be hard to top in the years following. Carson is so super proud of his trophy!

While Brian was out playing golf Monday morning, Cooper learned that he can sit on his own! He sat in the kitchen watching me cook these yummy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bars that I found earlier last week over here. These were super easy and oh so yummy! I made a double batch and I'm so glad that i did because they were gone before the cookout was over!


Cooper also went swimming for the first time and loved it! He loves floating around in the water and Carson enjoyed helping him spalsh around.


Carson should be a fish! He looks forward to swimming all summer long and will start his private swimming lessons next week!


Oh the joys of summer with my sweet boys! Too bad I have to head off to work!

Summer Summer Summer Time

Here we are in the early weeks of Summer and it seems as if Life is as busy as it ever is. Our little Carson is off spending time with his grandparents and will return later this week. We had a great weekend with a trip to Six Flags followed by some much needed family time with distant family members on Sunday. Up next is Memorial Day weekend which is full of fun family & friend get cookouts and parties. I love summer! I love the easy of a relaxed morning of not rushing to make lunch and rushing out of the house at such an early time & I love all of the fun activities and events that summer brings! We ended our first school year on a high note with lots of fun activities (field day, Splash Parties & school programs. T-ball has come to an end, so now it's time to enjoy all that Summer time has to offer!

New Year, Busy Start

Happy New Year to everyone! I want to start off the new year by documenting our family's life and adventures! What a great time to get started. Just a little info about our family (whom is all still sleeping early on this cold Sunday morning)... I am married to my best friend in the world, Brian. I am so lucky to have Brian in my life. He is such a wonderful husband and father to my two children, Carson (5) and Cooper (2 months). This week is an exciting week for us... B has to return to work after being off for more than 2 weeks for Christmas Break, Carson has to return to school, & Cooper starts daycare. I returned back to work after an extended maternity leave, 2 weeks ago, but now it's time for the entire family to get back into the swing of a normal (but busy) life. This morning, we are headed off to Church and once we return, we have tons of cleaning to finish up, we have to get all of the babies clothes, bottles, etc, labeld & packed up for his first week at nursery/daycare & we have to get ready for a bible study group that we are meeting with tonight. Our Bible Study group is new for us and we are currently meeting every other Sunday. This will be our 2nd meeting. We have a busy day ahead of us, so I guess I need to go and start waking up everyone in the house so we can have breakfast and get dressed for Church. I work at our Church part time so we need to get there around 8 (did I mention that it's already 7 am and I just decided to start blogging?). Hope you all have a great day!
