Girls just wanna have fun!

Oh, these two or I should really say three! Mya, Ansley and Macy are BFF's and I'm pretty sure that anytime Brandy leaves her garage door open, Ansley thinks its an open invitation to go on over! Mya and Ansley play pretty well together and most of the time are mean and pick on poor little Macy. This was the one and only time the temps got up to 98-100degrees for three days straight! So, of course we had to do a little swimming! Ansley wasn't real sure about it, Macy was teething and wanted nothing to do with it, but little Mya was all over it! Loved it! And after some time playing so did Ansley!

Oh, yes we know you are a little diva! :)

The new trampoline gma and gpa McCaslin got her! All the girls love it! 

Little Miss Mya attitude and all! The things she say's cracks me up!

Finally, giving it a try!

I'm not sure we are ready for what these three have in store for us! I love that we live so close and that the girls get to play together all the time! Ansley absolutely loves them!

18 Months

I can't believe that my baby was 18 months old yesterday!  She has changed so much in the last few months and grown into a beautiful toddler, that I can hardley believe it! She has an attitude like you wouldn't believe and the heart of gold! She can be such a lover when she wants to be! I'm loving every minute of being a mother and watching my little one grow!  Here is what this little sassy thing is up to these days:
  • walking like crazy and has been since 13months! There is no stopping this little one now
  • Her hair is really starting to grow and we can now do pony and pig tails!
  • Blows kisses and says muah (that spelling is wrong I'm sure)
  • talking more and more everyday
  • can say no, mom, dad, what's that, two, shoes, cheese and many other words and sounds that I can't remember
  • knows the word bath and runs to the tub yelling "ba"
  • We have really been working on animals and the sounds that they make
  • Know's the sounds that a cat, dog, cow, chicken, duck, elephant, sheep and bee make
  • Know's where her hair, nose, mouth, teeth, eyes, ears, tummy, toes and knees are
  • In the morning's she tries to dress herself! Sometimes we try to wear our shirt as pants
  • Went potty for the first time today in her big girl potty! (No I'm not trying to potty train, but I'm thinking that she's getting close to being ready)
  • Know's where the trash can is and will throw things away if you ask
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of other things, but that's all I have for now! Here are her 18 months pics from Laura's mini sessions! It was a little windy that day, if you couldn't tell.

He has a NAME!

Finally, I didn't think we would ever agree on a name for a boy or a girl! I originally wanted to stick with names that started with an "A," and trust me we made a list of names that started with "A's" but we never fell in love with any of them. We had Adler, Asher, Axel, Aston and Archer. Out of those I liked Adler the best, but to be honest I wasn't in LOVE with the name! For the girls we had Aliya, Aubree, Adley and my FAV Aniston! See we had quite the list going and tucked away safely, but when the day came that we found out we were having a boy, we didn't like any of them! So the search continued.

We were on our way to Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago and I brought up the name Carson! We both loved it and have decided to do little bit of editing and go with "Karson." We haven't completely agreed on a middle name yet, but it has been narrowed down to either "Michael" after my dad or "Lee" after Zach!

Here I am at 24 weeks! My BFF Jamie told me that I needed to do a side-by-side of me at 24 weeks with Ansley and now with Karson! So Jam this is for you! :)

Oh, wow I am a lot bigger this go around! lol. Sorry the flash wasn't on



















We have started painting Karsons room and are almost done! I'll post pics of that soon!

Easter

We had a busy Easter weekend! The garage sale went great and we got rid of tons of stuff! :) Ansley had her share of Easter egg hunts and my parents took her to the circus on Friday night! I think she participated in 4 different Easter egg hunts! We have tons of candy and goodies to last us months!

Ok, I'm stopping there with the pics! Thanks to both sets of grandparents for the Easter Baskets! She is one spoiled little girl
