Um...couldn't think of a cool title

Okay I know I've been the biggest blogger slacker ever, but I am finally going to post some pictures. Most of them are outdated and random, but I'm sure the grandparents have been itching for something!

A few pics from Carson opening presents on his B-day:


Random pictures from the zoo. Yes we are crazy and go in the heat!




Hailey in her dress from Aunt Danielle:


Carson is really into painting lately:


Bridger put Hailey in Carsons pajamas. It was so cute! Then they all played horsey:


So Carson has been asking to watch Sleeping Beauty lately. I thought that was kind of odd...but he only wanted to watch the end....of course the part with the bad guys. This is what I found one day - Carson using the Wii controllers to fight the bad guys.

Random Ramblings

Hello everyone. We are still here. I just really haven't felt like blogging lately. I do have lots on my mind though.

Bridger and I ran a 5K last Sat. Bridger did AWESOME running it in 24:46. I improved my time from two weeks ago, and ran 32:21. I don't think I'll run anymore 5K's for a while. I am starting to think I am completely NUTS for signing up for the marathon on Jan. 1st. Really, what was I thinking?

Hailey is running around like crazy. Yes, running. She is non-stop moving. She tries to talk, but its still mostly jibberish. It is kind of sad that my baby is gone, I now have a toddler.

Speaking of toddler, Carson is not one anymore. He has turned into a little boy. Where has all the time gone. As much as I love looking over and seeing him play army dudes all by himself, or make believe pirate ship, it almost breaks my heart. Does he not need me anymore? He is capable of so many things. Am I holding him back because I don't want him to grow up?

As you can tell I have been thinking about my children a lot. I know we are constantly told, never compare yourself to other moms, etc. but lets be honest we all find ourselves doing it. I often wonder, am I doing a good enough job? Am I teaching them the best way? Am I letting them explore enough? The list goes on and on. I see so many AMAZING moms out there and I just seem to get more and more frustrated. So for all you perfect moms out there...share your secret. I want to know how you do it all.....keep the house clean, cook not only meals everyday - but treats too, teach your children, play with your children, exercise, serve others, make time for your husband, and still find time for personal time.
