Months...

I can't believe how long it has been since I've updated the blog....Weeks...Months???

Life has been incredibly hectic and crazy! Halloween, a trip to Tennessee to see Jason's aunts, the election, my mom's 60th birthday, Thanksgiving, a trip to Big Cedar (Thank You Aunt Stephanie!) to celebrate my mom's birthday, a car wreck, doctor's appointments for Carson (at least 5 of them--he's getting tubes next Friday), Christmas shopping, trip to see Santa, the Opera, Coldplay concert (which was AMAZING!), a girls night out (Twilight!), and a couple of adult nights out. No wonder my house is a wreck and the laundry is clean yet in neat piles on my master bedroom floor and the three birthday cards sitting on my counter waiting for me to address them and purchase stamps (sorry Claire, Carter and Madeline) Don't even mention Christmas cards....it is impossible to get a decent picture of a 4 1/2 year old and a 15 month old who barely stop moving long enough to sleep.

Julian wants a Super Slime Shooter for Christmas, when asked if the elves will know how to make it he replies, "Santa will buy it from a store, it's near Africa, his sleigh can go there, don't worry" He is a star at Wii bowling, he beats me every time and usually Jason too.

Carson is finally sleeping through the night, yes he is 15 months and yes, he has only been sleeping through the night for about a week. Don't judge me :) I had to resort to Tylenol PM and a pillow over my head to make it through the Cry it out phase. We are working on naps...

He tries to say and do everything Julian does, says no and shakes his head, eats more than his father, and has a temper unseen by modern man. He loves Elmo, Spongebob and the Imagination Movers and to my delight, is still a momma's boy.

Here are a few pictures from Big Cedar:
