A little less tidy nowdays...

Here is a picture of the dishes piling up around our sink today....we look like we live like animals...not to mention I have laundry overflowing...but I have a REALLY good excuse...

HELLO! Look at that face, how could I possibly do anything but stare at this smiling little face!

So this is why if you come over to my house, it just might not be so tidy. I have much better things to do now! : )

Our little chili pepper...

We had one last blast at the beach before Eric starts up with school and a new job. My mom and sister came for a couple nights too. We all went to this chili cookoff one day at a park, it was fun. We tasted some chili, we all liked the chile verde kind the best, yummy.

This is Eric eating chili ice cream...it was actually pretty good, he got the Atomic, which was the hottest one. It had a kick for sure!


Daisy went with us to the chili cookoff.Our little baby chili pepper.
I use to say I would never wear one of these baby carriers, haha, I was so wrong! I love it! I wear it when we walk on the pier or on the beach, I also go on walks with him in it for extra exercise. Sometimes strollers are impossible to take some places, so I end up using this way more than I ever thought I would. Next thing you know I will be driving a minivan that I vowed NEVER to do! haha, okay I won't actually be driving a minivan, I am going to stand strong on that one!
Our cool guy wearing his sunglasses and camo pants, haha.
Playing on his play mat at the beach.
This is him squeeling in delight at his toys.

This is this morning, he started out sitting his bobby pillow at like 6 in the morning, then we both slept in till around 9 and this is what he looked like when he woke up. He still wakes up to feed every 2 1/2 to 3 hours so I am so tired in the morning I stick him in bed with me and he usually will sleep some more. Don't judge me, you will be surprised what you will end up doing to get some much needed sleep!
I moved the boppy pillow so I could get a picture of his cute little sleepy boy face! I love his little chub he is starting to get on his legs and arms.

Not so "tough guy"....

This is just plain funny, haha. He woke up from this nap like his mommy wakes up, slowly and a little on the grumpy side.

Just hanging out on our tummy.

This is at the beach with Carson's girlfriend Blair, her mommy just fed her some yummy prunes! Carson was so jealous, although he's not showing it because he is in a milk coma on the ottoman.
Blair sticking out her tummy full of prunes, yum!

Ryan drinking a foo-foo drink at lunch. Haha, just kidding Kellie ordered it, I mean what man would drink that?! haha.

Blair and Carson, I think we will call this their first date at a restaurant by the beach , in their strollers, does it get more romantic than that?

Carson got these cool shades at the outlets. Oh ya, your cool!

This is his outfit today, we had the tough guy shirt on for his 2 month doctors appointment for his shots. He left the room at the office with his tough guy shirt on with a red face and tears, so not so tough really. At least we tried. Oh and he has been pretty pitiful ever since his shots, he wakes up with this awful cry I havn't heard before, I hate it! Luckily he has basically been sleeping since his shots, only waking up to eat, and even then he cries off and on while he eats, its awful. When he hurts I hurt, I guess that goes along with being a mommy. Oh and he weighs 11 pounds 14 ounces and is 23 1/4 inches long.

More pictures of our little man...

This is Carson today after he woke up from his nap. My little man just about has me wrapped around his finger for sure! I just love this little guy!

Carson got hooked up with an organized closet this week by Erics Aunt and Uncle. It is so nice to be able to store all of Carson's things. On either side is room for his clothes to be hung, then all the shelving in between, it is so great! It is nice since he has a small closet, it is so much more functional now!

We've been working on lifting our head. We have tummy time everyday.

Our smiley boy...

We went to the beach with my parents and sister. Carson enjoyed the cool weather at the beach. Carson loves to smile and laugh now. He makes the cutest little baby noises. It is so much fun to make him laugh!

I love his big ole' gum smiles!

He laughs at all my jokes!

Mommy is so funny!

My dad and Eric wore Daisy out! Daisy is out there in the water fetching her tennis ball. She even rode some waves in, it was so funny!

Carson with his Aunt Beth.

Carson and his grammie and grandpa.

Carson was inside his little pop up tent the whole time, so don't think we let our son bake in the sun.

This was this morning, he was pretty happy playing in his play mat.

Still happy...

Stop taking pictures of me mom!!!!

Prayer request...

Please pray for our friend Andy who was in a horrible motorcycle accident yesterday morning. He is in critical condition. He has had a surgery to reset his femur, patella, tibia and fibula. They also had to insert rods into his leg. 45% of his body is burned both 2nd and 3rd degree. He will have to stay at the burn center for 4-5 months they expect and has a very long recovery ahead, proabably a year. He is still in critical condtion and he and his family need lots of prayer! He is also engaged so please pray for his fiance. God has done a lot in Andy's life, pray He continues to do so.

Carson's first beach trip...

We were at the beach for the 4th of July weekend. It was very nice to get away from the heat and take Carson to the beach for the first time!

This was at the luffa farm (the sponges you bathe with-for the men who might read this). So yea luffas come from a plant-who knew? They look like huge cucumbers, so strange. Eric told me not to tell anyone he went to a luffa farm because he says it is as "un-manly" as it gets, so don't tell him I posted this, haha.

Family photo at the luffa farm, haha.

We met up with Ryan, Kellie and baby Blair for 4th of July. We took their advice and went to the laser light show in Morro Bay, haha, SO LAME!!! It was the first year and there were hundreds of people and needless to say EVERYONE hated it. It looked like a screensaver on a computer. It was just a screen that they had images on, so dumb. Everytime a firework would go off in the distance everyone would cheer and clap, it was pretty funny. I guess we will join all the millions of people at Pismo if we ever go for the 4th again.

I think Blair thought Carson was cute, haha.

Carson got to meet his GiGi (Great Grandma) for the first time.

Sitting outside in the nice weather.

mommy and her baby boy.

Carson's first beach experience. It was a little windy, but it felt good. We took him to a beach where we could have our dog. So Daisy was busy playing in the sand and water, it was a lot of fun to watch her and Eric's parents dog, Quincy play.

Daisy checking in on her baby then she was off to play some more.


Carson looks to me like he is enjoying the beach!

Grandma and Grandpa enjoying their grandson.

Here we are at a park in Arroyo Grande.
