Hiking, Baby and 2 Cute Kids

 Lately Carson has been wanting to have "sleepovers" in the middle of the day on our living room floor.  He lays dish towels down first, then his pillow, and then asks me to tuck him in under all the blankets.  He has been bringing his plane (from grandma m.) and a flashlight.  He is so funny.  He goes between sleepovers at Oregon Grandpas' and Red truck Grandpa.  Don't be offended Grandmas he just loves his dad and his grandpas the most.  Paige of course can't miss out on all the fun. 

Here is me and the fetus after teaching a class.  I was smaller before class, but after I can't hold him in :)  The sign says, "23 weeks...He finally moves"  I still don't feel him a lot, but when I lay on my stomach there is some kicking.

We attempted another hike this week.  Me and the kids are about to retire and send Dad by himself.  It was really hot and uphill and we both carried a kid.  Not a big deal except Paige is 26 pounds and Carson is 34.  It was a valient effort...for the second hike in a row though we couldn't find the indian ruin :(

updates...

Carson turned 3!!!!!!!  I made him a really ugly Mator cake, but he loved it!  That is why I love kids.  Grandma, Grandpa, Derek, DeAnna, and Bryce came for the big bash!! 

The twins....double trouble but so cute.  Sam2 and the girls came down to help with Paige's ear surgery...but I ended up getting sick and Sam took care of me instead.

And there is my Carson and his new face he loves to make. 

The Lepercon snuck into our house and filled our shoes with treats...Carson was so confused, but him and Paige loved the candy!

Paigey loves food and now loves the booster seat and utensils.

Happy Birthday Baby Paige

I cannot figure out how to move pictures around.  what is wrong with me?  so they are a little mixed up.  The first one is on her real birthday, then there are some taken later, and then back to the real birthday.  I will figure it out someday.

Paige had a great birthday.  She was sick with a nasty cold and ear infection, but she perked right up when the cake came out.  She is the sweetest little thing.  I just love her to peices.  She has 8 teeth, walks like a professional (she started christmas day), loves to play with Carson boy, Peek-a-boo is a favorite, and she says "dad" whenever Danny comes in the room. 

We had a photo shot before her party.  She was sick and it was freezing, but she did great. 

Grandma Millward gave her a baby doll and she LOVED it.  We didn't open it until tonight (a week after her birthday)  It is so amazing that a little baby can act like such a girl.  Carson was born loving trucks and this girl loves babies.  Whenever she sees one she gets all excited and tries to get her hand on that poor baby.  She gave that baby a big kiss and then tried to drink her bottle :)

 This is her real birthday....in OREGON!!!!  She was soooooo excited about her big pink cupcake!

She litterally ate every bite of that cupcake by the handful and then licked her tray clean.
