The Zoo

We took our first family trip to the Zoo at the beginning of April. Carson and Shane loved all the animals!

There are pony rides in the children's area, but Carson DID NOT want to get on the pony! He did enjoy petting it.

We walked right by the camel rides thinking Carson wouldn't be interested, but he ran up the stairs and said he wanted to ride the camel! I guess the camel looked like more fun than the pony.

Carson got to feed the birds! I was so surprised that he let the bird get so close. I really thought he would be too scared to do it, but he loved it! He still talks about it!

A Day Out With Thomas

In March, we went to Grapevine with Gran and Grandpa to ride Thomas the Tank Engine. All the boys had a blast! Carson and Andrew love Thomas.

Shane Bug

The last year has gone by so fast! It is hard to believe that Shane was a newborn a year ago. He is a big boy now! He has such a sweet smile and personality. He loves to laugh and play with Carson.

He is starting to walk well. He can walk across the room without falling now. He has put more bruises on his head in the last week than Carson has had his entire life. Shane is fearless. He started climbing on things before he could walk. I expect to find him climbing the shelves soon.

Let it SNOW

Carson had so much fun in the snow! His poor little hands were freezing before I could talk him into coming inside. I had to promise hot chocolate, his first! He saw Polar Express over Christmas and sang "Oh, we got it" while he drank it. Shane wanted nothing to do with the snow! Did not want to stand in it, sit in it or touch it!

My Big Boy

I can't believe Carson is already two! He is talking so much now and picking up so many new phrases! He insists on being called a big boy. If I tell him he is a sweet boy, he says "Carson no sweet boy, Carson sweet BIG boy!" Carson is not a cute boy, he is a cute big boy. He is not good boy, he is a good big boy! Last night at dinner, Carson got to have a piece of cake. He took the first bite and said, "This is amazing!" He got lots of laughs so continued to say it after each bite.

In January, he got to move up to the 2 year old class at church. They have a memory verse for each month and I was surprised at how quickly he memorized the first one! He knows, Love God with all your heart and we are working on With God all things are possible. How amazing it is to hear God's truth come from his mouth!
