Fun in Fargo

This past weekend the boys and I (minus Paul...he had to work) headed to Fargo to stay with our friends, Ross, Allison and Gus. I had to make the 3 hour drive so Allison could take Ashton's 6 month pictures and Carson's 3 year pictures. We had both of them done in less than an hour. Thanks Allison!

We mostly relaxed and let our kids play together. We did go to a little Fall Festival that had some little games, a pumpkin patch and a little park. Carson started not feeling well Saturday night and today I took him in because he said his ear hurt. We got some medicine and hopefully that will do the trick. It was a fun weekend. Thanks to Ross and Allison for letting us stay with them.

Jimmy John's #3

On Wednesday, our third Jimmy John's store will open in Buffalo, MN! It seems like this one has taken forever to open. Tonight was Friend's and Family night where everyone got free subs so all the employees could practice for the big opening tomorrow. Good luck! This store is a little different then our other two because this one has a drive-thru. We'll see how that goes. Paul will be busy now helping out at this store...70 miles round trip from our house! Here are some pics from tonight!

The Yummy Menu



Carson is starting to like the sandwiches, but still prefers the chips, pop and cookies!



Ashton may be a little too young

6 Month Update

Today we had the fun 6 month check-up. Everything looks good! Ashton weights in at 16 pounds and 7 ounces, so he gained about 2 pounds in the last 2 months. He's 26 1/2 inches long. I guess his head is a little on the smaller side at 16 1/2 inches. While we were weighing Ashton,Carson got on the other scale and weights in at a whopping...28 pounds! Poor kid....we just can't get him to gain weight! He will have his 3 year check-up in a couple of weeks!

The shots didn't seem to bother Ashton as much this time! YEAH! He's eating cereal, fruits and veggies now. He loves to eat! He is starting to get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth...so we could have a crawler sooner than later!
