Goodbye Summer.....



I can't believe it's already September 1st! School has started and I have no idea what to do with myself now that Carson is in kindergarten. I guess I only have a few weeks to myself before the babies come and then I'll most likely be catching up on sleep during the days when Carson is at school.

August just flew by. We spent most of it hanging out with friends, getting ready for school to start, prepping for the babies, going to appointments, and figuring out our backyard plans.

Yesterday was Carson's first day of Kindergarten. He's lucky to be going to school with three other boys from his primary class that are his buddies. When we dropped him off at school yesterday he started to cry a bit which made me tear up, but we found his buddy Carter and sat him down next to him and he seemed to be ok. We watched from the window for a bit with our friends before we headed off. I had a pretty hard time with it yesterday, I certainly would have loved to keep him home another year, but I can't. He's my buddy, he's really never left my side the last 5 1/2 years. In some ways I'm ready to see him grow and learn and do the school thing, but I mostly just miss the little guy everyday, I'm sure it'll get easier, especially when the twins come and I will need that time to recover, clean and sleep, but right now I wish he was still home with me.

Pregnancy update: I'm a little over 32 weeks and on bed rest. I missed last Sunday at church and received a whole flock of text messages, phone calls, and dinner offers. Keith said he was bombarded at church with people asking where I was and once they found out I was on bed rest my phone was receiving texts etc. like crazy. We really do have the best ward, people are so genuinely thoughtful and want to help. I'm doing well though, trying not to do much other than the necessary. My dr said he'd be surprised if I made it to 35 weeks, which is two weeks from Monday!! It's getting closer and I'm getting more nervous! My mom might come out next week, we are just hoping I make it to at least 34 weeks so I can have them here in Casper and not Denver.

That's about it! Fall is basically upon us and I couldn't be more excited! I may have already put up my fall decorations :)


Enjoying the last few summer nights at the river with Daddy before school started

Movies in the park with his buddy Carter

Gotta get the last of the fishing in!



Car seats came and it's surreal to have two!

Little man's first day!






At the beginning of August Keith worked with Carson for a couple of days to help him learn how to ride his bike without training wheels. He finally got it down and was so proud!
