 |
| best buds. |
 |
| searching for treasure. |
 |
| The big man's cabana! |
 |
| This was @ Fort Fisher beach just a couple miles down from where we stayed. The boys loved looking for shells here. The clouds were wild this night! |
 |
| I think this one has potential to be a canvas in my living room. (hint hint-hubby) |
 |
| Sweet beachy babe. He loved it! |
 |
| this is why our ice always melted. stinker. |
 |
| They look so happy.... |
 |
| A miracle... |
 |
| So this was after Rob made Bennett mad by washing sand out of his eye. He sat under this hat for a good 30 mins eating his raisins. hilarious. |
 |
| In the big boy's chair! |
 |
| hehehe...I mean too cute! |
"Life is better at the beach..."
This was the saying all week. There was a sign @ the condo with the saying...Life is better at the beach. Every time the boys saw it they would say it! Bennett started adding "My" to the beginning. I have to agree..."My life is better at the beach" ;)
We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Which we were both a little worried about how much relaxing we would get to do. The older boys were very self entertaining on the beach and would occasionally ask us to help em build a sand castle. But mostly they were playing on their own. Our days mostly went like this: When Carson went down for a nap one of us would head out to the beach with the other two and set up. When C woke up we would head out with him. We would all stay out for about 2 hours. Then back in and lunch and nap for all 3. Rob and I got a little down time during the afternoon. We had books to read but that only lasted 2 days. I would head to the pool and when the big boys got up they would come to the pool too. We went out to eat a couple times but got take out a couple of times.We Rob also did a shrimp broil! It was yummy!!
We had SUCH a good time. There were some hiccups (Carson getting another ear infection, Bennett acting deathly afraid the waves were going to "GET HIM" days 1thru 6, or both of them having a MAJOR melt down in the aquarium gift shop, awesome!) but we had a great trip! Rob and I are already talking about definately going back next year...heck, I wanna go back now!
Get ready for photo overload!

7 months!!
Well, more like 7 1/2 months..but still! New Update....Baby Carson is mobile!! He has started crawling...although apparently that is not good/fast enough for him! He is pulling up on everything he can (which makes me so nervous...he is soo shaky when he does it) and will then attempt to cruise on over to something else! Really dude?!?! You are 7 months...quite it!! I have thought (maybe even said) that I think he was supposed to be my first child and Jackson my 3rd...Mainly bc he is UBER high mateinance but he is also trying to do everything early...J was the opposite and when your a first time momma all you do is wait for and talk about your baby to hit the next milestone! Ha! New mommy's are silly...Now all I want is for him to just want to sit and let me snuggle him and to be the BABY forever!! ;)
We just got back from Vacay and I was SO worried about the sleeping arrangement with him (he was in the pack and play in our room). But he rocked and even slept through the night EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT! We were shocked and almost afraid to talk about it until Thursday. OF course, it came to a screeetching hault on Friday night...he stared running a fever (which we did not have the themometer..but I knew he had one). Luckily I had packed every other medicinal need, butwe I only got about 3 hours sleep that night. It was ear infection #3...or 4...not sure @ this point. I think our next first will be a visit with an ENT. Bennett had tubes at 11 months so it is something we are advocates of but it will still be nervewracking!
Another first was his first trip to the beach! He LOVED it! He was such a trooper and even fell asleep on the beach a couple of times (which is a huge thing for him considering the work it takes to get the boy to sleep). He was on a vacation of his own I guess and decided to go easy on mom or dad....Or he thinks he is a beach baby and we should move to the beach!! ;)

Mother's Day Tea
Bennett's preschool class hosted a Mother's Day tea last week. Rob came and took Carson for me so I got to enjoy some one on one time with my favorite blondie! We got to see the kiddos playing on the playground, enjoyed some snacks (which was the highlite for B), saw some artwork they had made us, and watched their performance from music class. It was beyond cute and very informative. I know now that Bennett DOES in fact know his shapes, numbers and colors...he had just been choosing to tell me the wrong answer when I would ask him! stinker. I had so much fun spending the morning with him and his little buddies. They are quite the crew! His class is almost all boys and only 2 little girls. Although the girls hold their own I believe! **I have more pics but I keep getting an error message telling me that I am out of space?? Anyone have/had this problem with Blogger?? It keeps showing me a way to BUY more space....ummm thought it was free?? Any help is appreciated!

Lions and Elephants and Bears....
The NC zoo does not have a tiger...or if they do..we sure didnt see one. I took the boys to the zoo last Monday. All. by. myself. We were all exhausted. We went with a couple of friends from preschool. The boys had a blast. I had about 50 wonderful pictures that my camera deleted....grr......I am hoping we have the issue resolved since we are headed on our family vacation in 2 weeks. Here are the pics I had on my phone.
All Bennett talked about was the Elephants.

| Can't wait till he starts driving.HA! |
