Another week... another post! I'm on a roll!

I've finally uploaded pictures from our camera so this post goes back a couple of months. (Most recent pictures are first.)

The kids enjoyed playing in the driveway tonight. Note Carson's 2nd haircut, we wanted to keep the mohawk, but with a squirming 1 1/2 year old, it's easy to take too much off... oh well, another buzz cut!



We told Averie we would buy her a bigger, Hannah Montana bike, when she mastered riding. She's doing very well!



Carson's been getting into trouble. Today he got a hold of one of Averie's markers and decided to decorate the back hallway including the door to the garage and the downstairs bathroom. He wasn't happy that I posed him in front of the evidence.




Carson has not been taking a binky for over a month now. He's done very well, but occasionally we can tell he misses it. When he gets really upset he puts his hands in his mouth and sucks them. Well, today he found this novelty binky. He never liked this one because of it's shape, but I guess it's better than nothing! He was quite pleased with himself and sucked this binky for a while. We finally had to take it away from him. (P.S. In case you can't read it, the wording on the binky says "Mute Button".)



Earlier today Averie freaked out when she saw him with this binky because "He's too big for it". Justin and I assured her that Carson never liked this binky and she has nothing to worry about. Can you see the "I told you so" in her eyes? I think I can!



A couple of weeks ago, I was trying to get a number of things done around the house. I thought it would be fun (and keep the kids occupied) if I let them paint with pudding. I whipped up a batch of instant pudding, added some green food coloring and layed down huge sheets of paper on the table. I figured it would keep them busy for a good 30 minutes or more. WRONG! 10 minutes later the kids were bored. At least it was a good photo op.



After the pudding painting, I let the kids play with the hose in the yard. This kept them better occupied, but it was a constant fight about whose turn it was to hold the hose.

This is my little diva. She did her hair by herself and was so proud.

OK... not the most flattering picture of me, but oh so cute! We were a sleepy pair.

In June, Averie graduated from pre-school. Tutor Time had a nice little ceremony. Justin and I took off work early to attend. As dorky as it was, I teared up... how is my "baby" so old?

New sunglasses for Averie and Carson.

After the haircut.

That's my boy!

We thought this was a good photo op. This was taken at Bubba's BBQ. These pigs are staged in front of the restaurant and we thought it was a bit funny to see the cop car in the background.
