My Favorites

My little Zackary. It is unbelievable how much you can love someone. He is just perfect. I couldn't ask for a better child. He brings us so much laughter and energy, everyday gets better and better with him.
This is such a candid shot of Aaron and Zackary. This goes on daily at our house. Playing, wrestling, you name it, it is happening.
Yes, I was captured doing
"So Big"
What peace and joy a new baby brings. Lane is such a blessing to us. He is such a wonderful and happy baby. It is amazing how much love you can give to children... it is endless. I absolutely love being a mom and couldn't ask for anything more.
I am so in love with my family.

Adventures in Potatos

Just thought someone might be interested in great art. Hehe!

Fire!

Boys and fire, what is the obsession? I learned it starts at a young age. Aaron decided to have a "little" fire. Zackary loved it, all he could say was "fire, neat" We all enjoyed the fire for quite a while. Zackary did great staying away, however it still made me nervous. Isn't this a great shot of boys and fire.

Naked Tricycle Riding

Need I say more?

New Years Party!

We had a great time on New Years, we had a wonderful dinner at our friends house, we all brought our kiddos and had a relaxing time. Good friends, food, and wine, what more can you ask for. We live just down the street, so of course we took the wagon, baby Lane hitched a ride in the Bjorn. Zackary and Henry made it until midnight with out meltdowns, what little troopers. Zackary started to fall asleep on the way home around 12:30! Does this mean party animal? Happy New Years to everyone!

Baby Lane

This is the most recent photo of Lane, it is really hard to capture a good shot of an infant. He looks like he is smiling but we haven't seen an official one just yet. He is growing so fast and had several nice rolls on his arms and legs. Including a forearm and calf roll. I love the baby fat!

The Wagon

Zackary and Lane got a wagon from Nana and Papa for Christmas. We have enjoyed all the walks we have taken. Zackary is so good about letting Lane take up most of the room. The Wagon spent several days in our house, the minute he saw it we had to take him for a ride. It is now housed in our garage or we would have to walk all day pulling a wagon.

Grandma & Grandpa

This is a beautiful photograph of my Grandma and Grandpa Carlson. Still In Love and holding hands after 61 years. They recently celebrated their anniversary on November 25th. What great roll models for all of us. I hope all my friends and family will feel this way after 61 years.
I love you.

Christmas with cousins

We had both the Allan family party and the Carlson family party at our house this year. Aaron and I enjoy hosting parties at our house, we decided to take on both this year. They both turned out to be a blast and went very well, everyone helped out and made it really easy for us. These are actually my cousins but much closer in age to Zackary, they were having a great time playing in the mud together. What a mess!

Christmas Morning

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, what fun to have kids and see their eyes light up when the get something good. I know every year will just get more fun. Zackary did well opening presents this year, he was pretty into it. Lane enjoyed this nap by the tree and snuggling with Daddy while we opened presents. Zackary got a "manly" cooking set, a play BBQ. He loves it and always says "Bubbas cookin"
