Smiles from Carson!

Playing in the fountains in Canal Park!

Mondays when Hayden is with Papa Smith, it seems Mommy needs something to do....so she takes pictures of one of her favorite things. Carson!

Carson had his first hotel stay this past weekend and did great! I hope he is as good of a traveller as Hayden is/was! I have said this so many times, but he is such a great baby! He did cry(okay scream) for a little while on Saturday but the second I got him out of the car he stopped crying and was happy and smiley again. Our adventures this time took us to:
*Brahm, MN-Pie Capital. We had...Pie there at the Park Cafe. My mom and I were also treated to a Rose from the boys!
*Toured some Design Homes. I would highly consider buying 2 of them we saw. They have the models for sale which equals discount! Now I just have to talk Jason into this!
*Went shopping at MOA. I was able to go to one of my favorite stores, Janie and Jack. I got Hayden a super cute shirt.
*Swimming! Hayden loves the water and this is usually the highlight of any trip for him.
* Back to the 50's car show. Hayden bounced, colored, ran throw an obstacle course and won a tshirt for not playing a game.(Stubborn little boy WOULD NOT play the game they had but they were nice enough to give him a tshirt anyways.) We watched "Fashion Cars" go by and ate Sweet Martha's cookies!
*Enjoyed warm weather! It was almost 90 and it felt great! Hayden being so use to wearing a sweatshirt was quite concerned Friday when he left his sweatshirt in the car and wanted to go outside!
*My mom, dad and Brandon went to the Twin's Autography party. Which was standing in lines for hours in the direct sun. Yup sounds like fun to me!
*Went to Lutz Railroad garden. Which was fabloules and a Twin Cities must see. Santa Claus lives in Eagan in the summer and his address is 2960 Eagan Ave. He built an amazing garden that has trains running throw and he opens his backyard up to the public once a month(4th Sunday of the Month) for everyone to enjoy. We really enjoyed it. Its almost a work of art, the detail, gardens, mini villages, koi fish. Hayden was in love and awe. He watched carefully the whole time we were there, running around to see the train, he didn't want to miss a second of it!
We had a great time as always. It felt so good to be out of Superior! This place sucks lately. I want summer here! Make sure and look at the June 09 album for LOTS of pictures! Here are a few of my favorites.

Hay-Hay today.

Hayden and Carson in the same outfit, Hay is 2 weeks older and a lot chubbier!

Summer vacation has offically started! Now only if the weather gets that memo we will be doing good. Carson was baptized on Sunday with Angie and Greg as his Godparents and Deacon Phil performing the sacrament. It was a great moment and Carson was great. Sighing when the water was poured over his head and joining in on raising his right hand in a blessing(of him self!) We had a small gathering afterwards with yummy breakfast that my mom and I cooked(she did most of it!) Hayden went out to "his cabin" afterwards with Smith and Papa going fishing and golfing. He loves it out there! Jason, Carson and I enjoyed a quiet afternoon walking around Fitgers and enjoying the view from the courtyard along with some ice cream from Bridgemanns. Carson is getting stronger and more alert all the time. He is starting to take clear naps and not just sleep all the time. He is still a great baby! Hayden is being the little boy he is. Outside golfing, playing in the sand, going to the park and just loving the outside. I am so looking forward to our little getaway this weekend with my parents, I haven't been anywhere since March and for me, that's along time. I am also getting very anxious to go to Cragun's. I keep thinking about the warmth, the beach and the pool. I can't wait! Make sure and check out the picture posts below and my albums if you want more pictures!

Mommy had a photo session last night! A few of my favorites...

A few pictures from Carson's baptism!

Happy 1 Month Carson!

This month has gone by way too fast! But at the same time it seems like you've been with us forever. We all adore you and love you so much. Your big brother is very protective of you. He make sures you get fed, each time you cry and watches over you on our car rides. He tried to put your buffy in when it falls out and doesn't like it when you cry, loudly. You love to snuggle, especially before falling asleep right on Mommy's chest. We think you like to listen to her heartbeat. You like to be swaddled nice and tight, and you sleep best when you are. You like your swing, looking outside and your buffy. Mommy has accidentally put you to sleep multiple times with the hair dryer, you must like noise! You cuddle with Daddy every night on the couch as he watches your brother play. You love your bath and the warm water, just like Hayden did! You still wear Newborn sized clothes because you are so skinny! You are long and thin and can't fill out any 0-3 month clothes! Already this month, your first month of life, you've been to: Hayward, Barnes, St Paul, and the Zoo. You rode on a Carousel(Daddy sat on the bench while holding you).

You weighed 8 pounds 10 oz at your 2 week check up and I'll bet you weigh at least 9 pounds 6 oz now!

Happy Birthday!

Our fun day trip to Como Zoo and Park!

Random Tidbits:

*Hayden makes us laugh more and more everyday. ex. Mommy says "Hayden when did you get that lure?" Hayden responds "Mom, I've had it for YEARS!"
*Hayden wants to be just like his daddy. Last week he got up and picked out his clothes, choosing a striped polo and brown cargo shorts. Basically Jason's unofficial uniform, he always is wearing that in the summer at home.
*Hayden however still wants to snuggle his mom at bedtime and quiet time. Mommy also is the one who still can make owies better.
*Hayden loves to help, especially with his little brother!
*Carson was born on Jason and I's 7 year dating anniversary. Yes we've been together for 7 years!
*Carson was also born on my Grandma and Grandpa Moe's 65 wedding anniversary.
*Carson is so strong for a newborn! He has great control over that little neck of his.
*Carson's newest nickname is "Hot Dog". He looks just like a hot dog when he is naked, long, skinny and nude color! Hopefully Mommy will stop calling him this before he goes to school!
