Carson & Tessie in the dirt

Yesterday on Saturday morning Jeremy had a Fultondale Alumni banquet.  Tammy, Alex, Michael, & Tessie came to visit from Memphis, so Carson had a good buddy to play with yesterday...Tessie.  They had a lot of fun playing in the dirt!!!

Happy Birthday Carden Jacobs!!!!!

Yesterday we went to Carden Jacob's birthday party.  He turned two years old! Carden is the son of Cara (Cummings) Jacobs and "Butch" Jacobs:)  He had the most adorable alligator themed party.  All of the kids really enjoyed the bouncy house/slide outside!!! We were sad to leave early because we had such a great time with all of our great friends (and actually some of my family...Judy, Mac, LeAnn, & Lauren) HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY CARDEN...HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT GATOR DAY....<3>

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDY!!!!

Yesterday was Brandy's birthday...I wished her a Happy Birthday, but now Carson would like to wish her a happy belated birthday!!!! LOVE YOU BRANDY!!!!!

BAY-O-BEE Kitty

Last night, Carson & Jeremy went to ride in the wagon around the block as I was cooking us a yummy homemade pizza back at home. They get home & Jeremy brings in a probably 5-6 week old calico baby kitty. It just meowed & meowed. We gave it some cheese/water for the time being since I didn't have kitten chow on me & she was just too small for Sammy Cat's food. She was very happy after eating. Carson loves the little kitty, but doesn't call it kitty...he calls her Bay-o-bee (aka: baby) & it is too funny! Carson & I left after dinner & got the little bay-o-bee some kitten chow & a little toy at walmart. We were going to get a small litter box, but I got home & realized that I had forgotten the most important thing, so Jeremy said he would go to winn-dixie & get one. He got back & we set up bay-o-bee kitty a little spot in the kitchen. I had a little bed for Sammy Cat that he has never used, so I put kitty to sleep on it. I got up this morning & she was still in the same spot. Sammy Cat isn't too fond of bay-o-bee kitty though. He hissed at her last night and this morning just kind of stared at her wondering why she was invading his kingdom. Carson really loves bay-o-bee kitty though...hopefully she won't turn into a pancake kitty:)I will take some pics soon & post...I am so slow at uploading all my pics!!

Carson: The Wedding Crasher

Saturday was such a fun day! Jeremy decided he wanted to go grocery shopping (guess he got sick of waiting on me), so me and Carson played outside. I filled up his little pool with water, turned on the sprinkler, got my chair out lay in, and let him have at it. He had such a good time splashing me with water...I was soaked when we went in:) We then went in and got ready to go to my cousin Kim Payne's wedding at Bethel in Dora. She is now Mrs. Kim Cunningham. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a blast. I don't think I have ever seen Carson have so much fun. Jeremy doesn't (won't) dance, so I thought Carson would get out on the dancefloor with mom and let me twirl him around, but Mr. Independent wanted to dance all by himself. He danced/ran around the entire time the music was going. He didn't even stop too many times to take a breath...it was too funny. Kim & Justin left as a mock exit, but came back to dance before leaving for the night. Carson got right back out there & danced and ended up being the last one to leave the dance floor. We had such a great time laughing at him. We got in the car and headed back to Fultondale...Carson finally fell asleep when we got to Gardendale. We got home & Jeremy laid him in the bed. He rose up for just a second and said...Ma Ma, DaDa, MiMi, Pop....he looked around (I guess to see where he was) and then laid back down with his hands rested behind his head and was instantly back asleep...he was give out!!! I've got a lot of pictues of Carson dancing on my Camera that I will post later, but I've just got to get them downloaded!

Chuck E Cheese Please!!!

Friday night June 20th I got home & Jeremy was determined to go somewhere for the night:) He knew I had been wanting to take Carson to the Chuck E Cheese in Decatur (because it is so clean...has nice employees, and never crowded). We went once with Brandy & Auston & I swore I would never go back to the one in Vestavia, but Jeremy didn't go last time with us. He decided he wanted to go without me even asking this time, so off to Decatur we went. We stopped at an Italian resturant on the way called Romeo's...it was delicious:) Carson had a pizza, but wasn't too crazy about it, so he ate my Alfredo with me. We left there & went to Chuck E Cheese. Carson had a lot of fun last time we were there, but he wasn't all that crazy this time about riding in the little cars. He had more fun walking up the skee-ball ramp and putting the balls in for us. He wouldn't put it in the 10,000 point spot though...he only cared to put it in the one for 1000 points, so no bonus tickets for us...:) I think Jeremy & I actually had a lot more fun than he did:) We went to turn in our tickets to get Carson's prize with our 600 tickets and Carson got a Chuck E Cheese plate, cup, bowl, & spoon/fork set. The girl at the counter that worked there also gave him a balloon for the ride home. He was tired and was ill all the way home, but overall we had a wonderful time:)

A Night at the Ballpark!

Last night we went to see the Birmingham Barons play. MiMi and Poppie met us there, so Carson had a great time! When we got there we were happy to see Carson's friend Carden pull up in the parking lot...we had no idea he was going to be there too! Carson loves nachos so he ate those and then shared a banana split dippin' dots icecream with mom! Jeremy met some really nice people that were sitting next to us and we talked to them for a very long time. It was a very nice summer night out. We go to the games quite often and always have a great time! Carson is just not very excited when it is Friday Fireworks night...he is terrified of them!

Dinner/New Swing at Grammy's

Last night we spent the afternoon at Grammy's house. A.K.A Sheri (Jeremy's mom). She bought Carson and the rest of the kids a new swingset for her backyard, so Jeremy and I put it together (well most of it...there is still a little to go). She made dinner for us, but Carson was just really really into the doughnuts she bought from Fultondale bakery instead, but he calls them "do-no's"...it is so cute! We rode Carson over there in his red wagon that he got from his great Aunt Faye and he just loves it! Carson seemed to be upset that he could not find the "moo moo" a.k.a...the moon ( HE LOVES THE MOON!!!) Even the sun...he calls it the "moo moo". We left there and went home...got a bath. I made my first attempt to ask him if he wanted to pee pee in the potty when I took his clothes off before bathtime. I sat him up on his little stool as he stood their naked and he only attempted to put his foot in the toilet! I guess he thought he was getting a bath in a new place last night:) I got him down and as I was about to put him in the tub...he then of course went in the floor...all I could do was just laugh at him as he was smiling at me knowing what he had just done! After bathtime we played for just a little while, watched "Tigger & Pooh" & then went to bed!

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Today Sunday June 15th was DADDY day. We woke up at around 9am. Carson & I wanted to make it a special day for dad, so we made plans for the 3 of us to have a special family day. Dad woke up and got his father's day present. We made him a special book of Carson from the kodak gallery. It has pictures in it from when Carson was born up till now. The color of the book was suppose to be red, but when we got it in the mail...I opened it up to find that the cover was an ugly burnt orange color, but oh well...the inside of the book is what matters! Carson's favorite color is orange anyway! We got up and had breakfast and then got ready to leave for the day. We left & first went to eat at Salsarita's in Homewood for lunch. Mom definitely found her new favorite mexican restruant & it was very cheap...kids eat free on Sundays!!! It was soooo....very very good!!! After that we left & went to the McWane Center downtown. This has been something that we have wanted to do for a while now. They have a special floor right now for toddlers with all kinds of toys...Carson seemed to really have a fun time...he really enjoyed pushing the grocery carts around!!! We left there and headed to Corner to take Poppie his father's day gift. Carson got him a mug with their picture on it and an autographed Rick and Bubba book. Carson thinks he liked the mug the best!! We left there and went back home. We got in the bed and watched Tigger & Pooh & then went to sleep. Lucky mom had to get up and got to work!

The NUMBER 9!!!

Most of you know, Carson is obsessed with the number 9!!! We have no idea why...just happens to be his favorite number...doesn't care to say 1...2...or 3...just 9!!! I got home from work yesterday and laid across the bed for a little while. The hubby and Carson came upstairs with me. Jeremy and I were talking about our day as Carson was standing in the floor, but leaning on the bed. He is jabbering of course, but all of a sudden he says "9" and starts pointing. Jeremy looks on the comforter to where he is pointing...there is a tiny ( I mean tiny) piece of white thread on the comforter and the top of it was curled to where it looked just like the number nine!! It was so funny!!! I have no idea what it is about number nine, but he points to it everywhere...on clocks...the cases on "Deal or No Deal" on tv...and just gets so excited anytime he sees 9 :) I guess his ball number is a couple of years will probably be 9:) He also has a new word ( my fav place to eat) ...Stix!! Now he goes around saying Stix...Stix...Stix:) I'm so excited about the one being built in Fultondale & I think he is too!!!!

Lazy Sunday:)

Well...Sunday was a very lazy day, but very nice! I wanted to play in the yard with Carson so bad and let him play in the pool, but he had an ear infection last week and today is the last day of his antibiotics, so Jeremy convinced me that it would be a good idea & to wait till next weekend to have some fun. We ended up watching all of the Disney morning cartoons. We stayed in the house all day and even had pizza delivered:) We went out about 8pm & got in the swing, but the mosquitos were horrible , so we went back inside to avoid West Nile:) Jeremy decided at about 8:30pm that it would be a good idea for Carson to stay with mimi & pop because he had to take his car to Bessemer Monday morning for repair and get a rental car. A kid at McAdory keyed his car last month all the way around...& when I say keyed...I mean KEYED, but the kid did get about 3 others teachers cars too, which is terrible, but at least it wasn't just someone out to get Jeremy. Just wish the camera would have caught the little terd! Anyhoo...I called mom and they insisted on coming to get him instead of us driving to Corner so they could go for ice-cream in Gardendale. They got there about 9pm and he was very excited:) He didn't have a nap all day & I was told he didn't go to bed till 11pm!

Kiersten's Birthday Party

Today we got up & got ready for Kiersten's birthday party. (of course I had pancakes for breakfast first though). We had a lot of fun at the party! It was Kiersten's first birthday. There were lots of boys my age there, but I prefered to just play with my mom:) Meg got us all a bunch of silly string...sure was funny when mom got dad, but even funnier when the older kid got dad & it stuck to his back for the rest of the evening! Kiersten really enjoyed her cake...dug right into it! Anyhoo....Dad went to work on my table & chairs at his dad's house and I am with my mom for the night. We came to visit mimi & pop for a little while and are about to go get a bite to eat. Well...they are actually in the car ready to go now, so see ya'll later.....CAR CAR

Hey Everyone

This is going to be my new blog. My mom and dad are going to update everyone on here with new things that I do. There is something new everyday. My vocabulary is definitely starting to expand. The word HORE-E has been my new word, but moms says it is actaully horse-e:) Dad started this by giving me a fun ride on his foot/leg! Now everytime they sit down or course I want to ride the hore-e!!! My birthday party was great...it was on May 24th!!! A lot of my friends/family came: mom, dad, Aunt Gigi, MiMi, Poppy, Grammy, Nana, Aunt Malerie, Granny & Papa Phillips, Great-Great Aunt Faye, Butch, Cara, Carden, Amy, Raleigh, Nikki, Great-Grandaddy Burkhalter, Keith, Koen, Meg, Kiersten, Bob, Jan, Bailey, Great Aunt Donna, Bradley, Ashley...hopefully I remembered everybody. Aunt Brandy & my bff Auston couldn't come because he was sick! My theme of the party was beach balls/outdoor water fun. We had inflatable pools that me, Koen, & Carden had a great time in!!! Aunt Gigi, Malerie, Bradley, & Ashley had their fun (since they are older) on a slip n slide, but us little kids had a sprinkler to play in too. Thanks to everyone that came and for all of my great presents!!!! Mom says next year we are definitely going to stay cool & have an indoor party!
