Visit to Santa

We went to the mall yesterday to see Santa. I knew it would be our only chance to go, since we don't know where we'll be for Christmas yet. We were waiting in line, and it started "snowing" (bubbles). The kids went to play and a bunch of them were standing on a bench. Karson was up there, and some little kid pushed him down and he feel flat on his back and whacked his head. This was great for picture taking!!! He was crying forever and kept rubbing his head. We tried everything to make him happy, but nothing really worked!!! And to top it off, I made him sit on some weird guy's lap!!!

Karson and baby Joe

I have been worried about how Karson will react to having a new baby around the house in a few weeks. This weekend, he showed that he will be a great big brother. Karson LOVED baby Joe!!! He wanted to hold him all the time, and would sit and hold him for a while. He would love and pat Joe, and loved giving him kisses. I do think that he will be good with Zack at first, but we'll see after he realizes that the baby isn't going away and that he will be taking up a lot of mommy and daddy's time!!!

Awwww....loving baby Joe!!!

Pat, pat, patting the sweet little boy!!!

A New, Cheezy Face!

Karson has starting making this new funny face when he is eating something he really likes. I don't know where he learned it from or why he started doing it, but it is hilarious! Here are some pics of him eating marshmallows with Nana the other day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to take the time to say how grateful I am for all the blessings in my life. I am thankful for my wonderful friends and family. We got to have two Thanksgiving dinners this year - it was great! On thursday, we had dinner with the Kelly side, and on friday, the Blairs. It was awesome!!!

Here we are at our first dinner.




Karson and his cousins playing around. He thought he was so big!!!

"Twilight!"

My friends and I went to see the movie "Twilight" the night it came out. I am so grateful to have such great friends!! We had a blast watching the movie and stuffing our faces! Then we went to Native New York for dinner - it was great to have a girls' night out before this new baby comes!!! Thanks girls - I love ya!!!

Our First Snow!

So you can tell I'm still a valley girl when I get excited that it snows!!! Anyway, a couple weeks ago, we had our first snow. And, of course, it was melted the next day and it hasn't snowed since, but I was excited none the less!!!

Halloween

Halloween this year was pretty interesting. My sister Brianna, had her little boy, Joesph, about six weeks early. Luckily, he is doing pretty well and will hopefully get to go home soon! Congrats you guys!! As for us, we went to the Trunk-or-Treat at the church. We were there with Grandma Morris, Nichole, and Julia, and we were also there with our good friends TJ, Chaundra, and Ella. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Morris' house. After that, we went to the Friday night football game (of course). It was fun, but Karson was not so sure about the trick-or-treating thing.


Here we are: A construction worker, a Princess, and Mickey Mouse.


Minnie and Mickey Mouse (Ella and Karson)

As you can see, he was never very happy about wearing his ears. His costume was so cute! Grandma made the shoes for him, and he was fine, until we put the ears on him!!





And finally, the one happy picture of the night: watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the car, eating a sucker on the way the Grandma and Grandpa's house!!!! And, NO EARS!!!!!!!

Evan and Rachell's Wedding

Mikey's friends, Evan and Rachell, finally got married a couple weeks ago. We drove up to Fort Collins, Colorado (it was a VERY long drive). TJ and Chaundra flew up (LUCKY!) with Nick, too. We had lots of fun shopping and eating out (things we don't really get to do at home!!!).


Here's everybody swimming at the hotel.


Karson and Ella at the wedding.


The whole gang (AKA "The Killers")


Here we are at the wedding place - it was so beautiful! (Don't you love pregnant pictures!!! I dont!!!)


Daddy and Karson dancing.


This was the mother-son dance - Mommy and Karson.


Karson and Ella stole the show at the wedding. They walking around holding hands, and most of the time Karson would pull Ella where ever he went. And she let him!! She would give him her hand and off they went. Here is a little video of them because there are not enough pictures to do them justice!!!
