my really BIG post

Yesterday we went up to Spring City for their 24th of July celebrations with all of Danny's Searle side of the family. It was really hot, really fun, and it really wore us out! Me and Carver hung out at Danny's Grandmas house with all the little kids and their moms, while Danny went up and watched his uncles and some of the older cousins compete in a horse shoe tournament. (I'm pretty sure I did not miss out... horse shoes is not my thing) It was fun sitting around talking with Danny's aunt Charlotte, cousin Amanda, and cousins girl friend Breanne watching our kids roll around and beat up each other basically!

Carver playing with Amanda's youngest

They got along for a minute until...

Carver decided he didn't want to share! He is getting into the habit of just grabbing things from other people and babies, even if he wasn't playing with it in the first place... is this a sign of times to come??

Rolling around the blanket having fun!

eyeing what everyone else had, deciding who to steal from!

He was shocked at first at all the little kids his size!

Right when Danny got back and Carv could see him, he started smiling kicking his legs and started in with Dadadadada!! Its so cute!

Carver and his little cousin, Briley just hanging out waiting for the men!

He was tired and starting to cry, someone made him smile right in the middle of a whine haha silly boy

Hanging out chewing on his box of rice cereal!

It was a fun day in the sun! Danny got a really bad sunburn that of course didn't even start to hurt him and today its just a pure tan (he NEVER peels!) and Carver was totally wiped out and is still a little cranky today, but, it was a good day overall!

Oh, and did I mention that about a month ago I took in some baby kittens? Yes i know I'm crazy, I took in three little babies that were abandoned! I have had to bottle feed in the middle of the night, teach them how to lap from a bowl, then eat soggy kitten food, and finally drink water and eat crunchy kitten food! Its been hard, but now they are finally ready to go to their new owners! And they did last night, I was sad at first, but throwing away the kitty litter box changed that! Carver actually really didn't like them! when he was in his bouncy chair eating a bottle or just watching some Nick Jr they would always come and try to cuddle with him because he was so warm... he did NOT appreciate that!

The flash was to much, so Carver has squinty eyes in all these photos!

Grabbing Simba, (my little sisters Britain and Ryan named them all) and trying to make him go away!

No, the kitten wasnt hurt, he actually was purring when I finally rescued him! Me and Danny couldnt stop laughing though... Carver was really annoyed!

Grabbing him again trying to get him away

Love of my Life

Since nothing extremely interesting has happened in our life's for a bit, I really don't have anything to blog about except, well, Carver. We take 50 pictures a day of this kid, and I know that as you have more kids, your picture taking skill start to dwindle unless you work hard and keep at it, which, I'm going to try my hardest to keep at it! So here are a few more pictures of our baby love, bubs, bubba, boo, and bud.

Roxi is by far one of the best dogs i have ever owned. She is so patient when it comes to Carver, she loves to lay next to him on his blanket and she always lets him love on her, quite roughly i might add, and doesn't even act annoyed. Ever.

I caught a pre sneeze picture, i thought it was pretty funny!

I don't know anyone who could resist this face, i mean look at him. seriously? i made this adorable being? I'm still amazed at my luck.

He was in a very serious mood the other day, usually he doesn't stop smiling, it took me a while just to get him to smile! He must of had a bad day, he is teething so i understand.

He wants to crawl so very badly!! He is close, very very close

model shot! haha

Yo Gabba Gabba was on. Enough said.

His teeth, we call it his Two and a half teeth, the third is only half way in!

what a cheesy boy, he smiles like this when he is being a tease, naughty, or just in his cheese mood! Such a personality

Feeding himself! He isn't a huge fan of this yet... i can only get him to do it half the time. He likes mom to earn her keep by feeding him i guess!!



The 24th is going to be an eventful day with Danny's side of the family, so stay tuned!

Picture Mania

I went a little picture crazy today..... enjoy!

Happy 4th of July!

All of the actual 4th of July activities were held on the 3rd this year because the 4th was on Sunday, so these are all from Saturday. We had so much fun, and we also went to Aurora park on Friday night for dinner and fireworks. And I don't have any pictures, but Carver loved, I mean LOVED the fireworks I don't think he blinked the whole time! I grew up doing all the Salina events and I was so excited to start that tradition with my family. We didn't go to the races since Carver isn't old enough to do them yet, but we did go to the parade and the rodeo!

Carver just chillin in his shades

Grandpa and Carver waiting for the parade to start

Carv and Aunt Shanny, Shan is so good with Carver and I love having her around to help out with him, he is always very happy to see her!

So cute!!

This one is very cute, I love how he is even concentrating on what she is saying!

Watching the Parade!Trying to look at Grandpa's face, haha

He wasn't totally fascinated with the parade, but definitely interested!

It was a very fun weekend, but it definitely wore poor Carver out!!! I walked in the living room to him sleeping like this, you know a baby is tired if they fall asleep right on the floor!

Like I said, a very long weekend!
