Chicago Triathlon 2009

This past weekend, we drove to Chicago so that Daddy could do the triathlon (3rd year in a row!). Carson gave Daddy a big good luck hug (with blueberry hands), cheered for Daddy, and tossed the football with Grandpa during part of the race. We are so proud of Daddy!!!

Diego Underwear

Carson has graduated from pull-ups to real underwear. Today was Carson's first day wearing real underwear to school and he stayed dry all day. We are so proud of him...doesn't he look cute in the Diego underwear? :)

Playing with Levi

Carson loved playing with Levi at Uncle Rick's retirement party. Here are some pictures of Carson and the very cute puppy.

Newport Aquarium

We went to the Newport Aquarium with Grandpa, Grandma, Debbie, and Danny. Carson had such a good time looking at all of the fish. He especially liked the aligators, sharks, and the octapus too. He even pet one of the fish in the water.

Clippers Game

Last night we went to our first Columbus Clippers game in the new stadium. It was a really nice stadium and we had lots of fun. Carson shared some Dippin' Dots with Daddy and he cheered on the Clippers.

Cheese

Here are some recent pics of Carson with Mommy, Daddy, and Gus...Cheese!

Tiger

We went to the zoo recently and the tiger was walking by the glass. Carson loved watching him.

Visit with Susan and Lisa

My friends Susan and Lisa visited a few weeks ago. Carson keeps asking me "Where did the other Lisa go? Where's Susan?"

Potty Update

Carson is now wearing pull-ups all day at school, staying dry (even during naptime), and going on the potty whenever he needs to go to the bathroom. He is also wearing pull-ups at home (except at night) and going on the potty here too. Yipee! :)

Hockey Tickets, Deer Creek, and Farm Days at Cosi

This past weekend we did lots of fun activities. On Saturday, we went to Nationwide arena to pick out our Bluejackets seats for 10 games for the upcoming season. Then, we drove to Deer Creek to meet up with Wendy and Grandpa Mo. We had a picnic, walked around the park, and Carson got to practice some golf there as well. On Sunday, we had fun at the Farm Days exhibit at Cosi. Carson got to sit in a lot of the tractors and big farm machines.

New golf clubs

Carson got his first set of real golf clubs (and golf glove) last weekend. He played some golf with Alula and Debbie when they visited. Carson has been practicing his swing everyday.

Baby elephant

At the zoo last weekend we saw a baby elephant with his mommy...so cute.

Hocking Hills trip

We went to Hocking Hills during the 4th of July weekend. We had a great time!! We stayed in a cabin in the woods. We went canoeing (5 miles in the Hocking River), did some hiking (Old Man's Cave), made a fire and roasted marshmallows (Carson enjoyed his 1st smore), and we saw some deer. We definitely want to go back again soon. It was a great family trip!
