Another Trip

We took a fun random trip to Big Bear again, this time I was glad I was not pregnant! I must say that I was seriously hoping for a pretty lax weekend. I was so happy because on the way up the freeways were clear and we were making great time...then we start going up the mountain and we STOP! We were stopped for 45 minutes just hanging out because of the big professional bike race. It was crazy, but the weather was gorgeous and so we got out and walked around for awhile. We had a good time at the cabin with friends, playing games, watching tv, and hanging out in the fabulous hot tub! This time I was so excited to go on the Alpine slides and I had a blast. Paige seriously loves them and said that going with her friend Natalie was the best part. Go figure! We also got to go on the go-karts again which is always a blast.

I must add that Paige has hit a horrible throwing fit and talking back phase that made some points of the trip not so fun at all, but oh well.

So the day approaches, and its time to go home. We wake up, look out the window and its SNOWING! What the heck? Its almost JUNE! The roads were really not bad at all, but there were a bunch of accidents and well we found ourselves, you guessed it, stuck once again on the mountain. So what did we do... threw snowballs off the side, stood in the snow, and pushed cars out. What fun! We have made it home and are happy to be home yet ready for an UNEVENTFUL vacation! I need one!

Hanging out in the front seat

Then we got to see some of the riders...too bad Lance Armstrong fell and got hurt the day before so we didn't even have a chance of seeing him

The best part...Alpine Slides

Then the horrible drive home...SNOW SNOW SNOW

Jen and Katie

Just a little ways down, there was hardly any snow.

Little Buddy

...Carson, Carsono, or Cars. We have many names for him! He has definitely gotten so much better over the past couple of weeks. Despite the past couple days of him being sick and having to make a trip to the ER (btw, why do kids always get the most sick at night??), we are all doing so much better. He is smiling a lot now which is so much fun! He weighs a whoppin' 12 pounds, yes 12. Paige was so petite and had a hard time gaining, but not Carson! Must be the formula!!! We are loving the baby stage and look forward to the future. My friend took some cute pics for us and we love them. Thanks Nat!

His head looks so big in this one, perhaps that's where all of his weight goes!

And some random ones I snapped. Check out the hair!

You would think we have never been!

...to Disneyland that is! But, this being our 40 something time, Paige had a blast with her cousin, Chloe. It was Chloe's first time there and Paige enjoyed showing her the ropes of Disneyland. Brad was kind enough to wait in the meet the princess line for over an hour so the girls could meet Sleeping Beauty, Tiana, and Jasmine. Paige was so excited because those are her 3 favorite princess'. Chloe was a little disapointed because Belle was not there and she had no idea who Tiana was. They still enjoyed it though. Paige also said she has another favorite parade, the Celebrate parade. They got to go out and dance with the characters and they thought that was awesome! We had a great time and Carson was an ANGEL for his first trip...lets see how he does when we go again in 3 days! Enjoy the pics!

"You have two kids!"

Paige tells me everyday, "You have two kids, mom!" She loves having a brother for sure and is always where he is. She enjoys getting diapers, burp cloths (he is king of spit up), and pacifiers. We went and got pictures taken and I think they turned out so cute! Enjoy!

Carson

I have realized that I have not taken very many pictures of Carson, so I have been making an effort to do so. He has been very fussy lately and crying a lot and I have been stressed to the max. We are going to try and switch his formula to an easier to digest one and lets hope this helps! For now, here are some of the recent pictures I have taken!

Yes, I let Paige push Carson in her play stroller!

Before church

Me and Carson

What a stud!

Aquarium of the pacific

We finally went and visited the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was pretty fun and Paige loved all the fish!

Starring into the deep blue abyss...

Her favorite pink fish!

The tunnel was pretty cool. Paige and I loved the sea turtle.

She LOVED the starfish and went crazy touching them and feeling the coral around them

The Spider Lobster...this thing is freakish!

She did not dare touch the huge sting ray, or any of them for that matter...

...Or the sharks
