Why My Daddy is the Best

My daddy is the best because:
He always looks excited to come home and see me after work
He puts me to bed every night
He lets me type on his keyboard (trust me this is HUGE)
He tells me he knows the world is a good place because I am in it
He sings songs about ME
He tells me so many plans of things we are going to do together
He reads me scriptures in Italian--so cool
He plays Guitar Hero and props me up so I can be his #1 Fan
He explains everything he is doing all the time so I can learn
He wants to spend all of his time with me and is always making plans so he has even more time with me
He takes me to the cabin and the ranch and hiking!
He treats mommy so great every single day!
Happy Father's Day, Daddy! You are the best!

Here is a picture of Daddy and Uncle Nick putting together the grill I got Daddy with all my hard earned money.

To My Sweet Carson:

Well Sweet Boy, tomorrow you will be five months old. I can honestly tell you that these five months my heart has been so full of joy I feel like I can not even begin to put it into words.

Here you are hanging out in the sink today while I get ready. You are so curious about everything and always want to be right where the action is. My eye makeup remover is between your knees, you got so excited to be able to grab that off the counter. I love the look of pride that crosses your face when you achieve some new accomplishment.

Your dad and I marvel everyday at how eager you are to absorb everything. You are so curious and are constantly "making a dive" at whatever is nearby that sparks your interest. We can see that you are determined too. You want to sit up so badly. When we lay you on your back you will do a crunch using all of your stomach muscles until you have to lay back down from pure exhaustion. I swear you are going to have a six pack by your 1st birthday.

We must tell you a hundred times a day we love you. Your smile lights up our life. Your dad will often say, "Oh, it is a good world just knowing Carson is in it."

Some of our favorites are when we lay you down for a nap, you don't cry you just snuggle up to your blankie. Oftentimes wanting it to completely cover your face. Then you do this high pitched squeal that sounds like you are so happy...or just want our attention. You try to sing for awhile and then you are out like a light. When you wake up you make cute noises until we come in to get you...that is when your whole face breaks into a huge smile. I adore those moments.

You are already growing so fast. I know you will not be my baby forever. I am so grateful for every single moment I get to hold you and love you. I promised Heavenly Father a long long time ago...if I was ever to blessed with a child I would be be thankful every single day. I haven't backed out on that promise yet. I love you little guy.

Thank you for choosing us. We promise to do the very best to deserve to share our lives with you. You are precious and loved.

Love, Mommy

My Trip to The Zoo

I went on my first trip to the zoo with Nana, mommy and my cousins. Of course, I did not realize it was my first trip to the zoo because I slept the whole time. But, it was sure a great nap.
Andrew was excited to see the zebras. He kept trying to climb the fence to get to them. Hmmm..you would think the fences would be a little taller.

Everyone else saw alligators, zebras, bears, monkeys, penguins..even a rhino or two.

Here is me... all cozy and dreaming of other things. What a fun trip to the zoo.
