Halloween 2014!

HALLOWEEN! I don't know if it's more fun for the parents or the kids. We had ourselves a little Minion and Transformer on our hands and I couldn't stop taking pics...so here they are!

Arizona - Take 2!

Traveling with kids is no light load

Back to AZ we went...this time with Dad! Flying was much easier this time and actually, the boys were so well behaved on the plane! We even had a few fellow passengers compliment how well behaved our kids were...proud parent moment, we high-fived.

Not much to say, except it was another amazing trip. We were with good company again...Gma Debbie and Gpa Scott. We had early mornings there, as usual, which is fine, b/c the coffee was on and and the excitement in the boys' eyes was all worth it each morning.

Hudson made HUGE strides in his swimming on this trip. Bryan did lessons with him every day for an hour and by the end of the trip, he could swim on his own from one side to the other (the short distance). Another proud parent moment - high-five!

Carson was Mr. Independent in the water. He just floated around on his own and didn't want to be messed with. He also did lots of "cannon balls" on his own - it was like the cutest thing ever.

We had lots of good dinners and lots of good times. So many laughs. Bryan and I did a dinner one night as well, just the two of us. We sat outside at this beautiful restaurant and overlooked a golf course. About 6 or 7 wild pigs strolled by us as well - made for an interesting dinner! We had so much fun.

We did the rodeo again one night, but this time, Hudson sat on the bull! Ride 'em cowboy, Hud! He even threw his arm in the air - oh my gosh he is so cute.

I of course documented the trip with photos...can't wait for the next time!

There was a hot air balloon right above us and they were waving to the boys!

whoops! Where are your pants, Cars?

Carson turns 2!!

I'm a little late on this post, but my sweet boy, you are TWO! I say this with every milestone and birthday, but wow does time go way to fast. Every time I rock you to bed at night, I look down at you and it feels like it was just yesterday that I was rocking you swaddled in my arms. Now I'm crying as I write this - ha!

You have quite the personality my little love. You have a "TUDE!" and we love it (not all the time), but most times :). Although you test our patience every day, you make us laugh and laugh a lot. When you are ornery, we have a very hard time not laughing. You also have the most loveable side to you - you are a snuggler. No complaints here! You are a momma's boy - its all things momma right now. I love it. You are ridiculously squeezable...everyone wants to squeeze you. Maybe its your almost white hair and unbelievably sweet smile.

You are a big boy! 95th% in height and weight! Wowza. You always want me to hold you - I consider it an arm workout.

You have a few favorite things right now. You love Minions from Despicable Me (this was your bday theme!) You love watching movies with your big brother, especially Nemo - you call it "Memo." You love to dance and they are the coolest moves - you kind of bob up and down and walk at the same time. You love sweets - you get that from Daddy and Grandma Debbie. You love shoes! Every time I come home with new shoes for you, you have to put them on that very minute. You LOVE and I mean love being outside. Even if its blazing hot or freezing cold, you want out there!

Here are some moments captured on your birthday. We love you so much, Carson Scott.
