Turkey Day Fun

We went to Paul's brother's for Thanksgiving, up in Brainerd. Paul's parents were also there to join us. It was pretty nice outside, so Carson got to play for awhile and go on the 4 wheeler with dad. The turkey dinner was very good! A little more playing and then it was time to go back home. Carson didn't get a nap, so he fell asleep on the way home and went right to bed! He was in bed by 7:30....which hasn't happened for a long time. Thank you Neil and Eileen for having us up and doing all of the cooking. It was yummy!

Busy Busy Boys

Well, we haven't been up to too much these past couple of weeks. We have had some management issues at our Buffalo store, so Paul has been working more, especially on the weekends. So, the boys and I have been spending quality time together. Carson and I made brownies.


We have been working on potty training, which is a lot more work than I thought it would be.


Ashton has been getting into things he shouldn't!


Playing with his toys and learning to play the piano!




They are both mobile and full of energy and keeping us very busy! I am looking forward to a relaxing Thanksgiving in Brainerd, MN with Paul's family.

Milestones

It's hard to believe that Ashton is now 8 months old. He is turning into a very curious little boy. He has been sitting up by himself for awhile now and is now officially a crawler. He's been able to move around for about a month, but in the last couple of days has figured out how to really crawl. He also loves to eat Cheerios and Puffs with his six teeth! We can't wait to see how he changes in the next couple of months.

1. I love reality TV shows. I love to watch them. I watch Survivor, The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars, and Jon and Kate Plus Eight. I do have to say that I don't really watch The Bachelor anymore since they never seem to stay together. I only watch it if there isn't anything else on TV.

2. One place that I really want to visit is Italy. I think the food, culture, architecture and religious history would really be amazing to see and learn about.

3. I love the fact that Carson randomly tells me he loves me. It's the best feeling in the world. He will tell me when I pick him up from day care or when he wakes up or just anytime that he thinks of it.

4. Ashton has the best laugh and makes me happy no matter what type of mood I'm in. Sometimes he laughs so hard that he gets the hiccups.

5. I love working only 4 days a week. It's nice to have a 3 day weekend every week. It's nice to be able to spend an extra day with Carson and Ashton.

6. I hope owning Jimmy John's pays off in the next 5 to 10 years, so I can retire!

The only people left for me to tag are Anne, Allison and Lindy. Everyone else I know has already been tagged.
