Happy Fathers Day!

I was just thinking how lucky I am to have such a great Husband, who also loves being a Daddy. He has come such a long way in just 4 short years. When Carson was an infant Curtis was so nervous to hold him, and he really had no idea what to do with a baby.
Now he is working in the nursery at the hospital, and taking care of all the newborn babies with the skill and confidence only a true Father would have.
Thanks for being such a great Dad.
Thanks for helping me to laugh a Carson when I would really rather smack him.
Thanks for helping me be patient.
Thanks for putting together your own fathers day gift.
Thank you for all your love :)

Manners : An ode to my mother

An Ode to my Mother

My Mother, she taught me manners.
Manners and good and helpful,
but only if other Mothers teach them too.

Sometimes I think it would be better
if I just acted like other people do

I wouldn't be offended when someone is impolite.
I wouldn't be discussed when someone talks while chewing.
I wouldn't be embarrassed when my son farts in church.
I wouldn't think it strange when someone is late for a meeting...
and then ushers all 12 kids to a bench in the very front.
I wouldn't get angry when someone buts in line.
I wouldn't feel like fighting back when a teenager runs over my 4 year old son in the middle of 6flags and doesn't stop to apologize or say excuse me.
I wouldn't be annoyed when someone talks out of turn.
I wouldn't be disgruntled when someone forgets to say 'please'.
I wouldn't hate teenagers.... as much.
I wouldn't have to worry about Carson saying 'thank you'.
I wouldn't be appalled when the maintenance guy from the electric company asks to use my bathroom... and then does NOT FLUSH!!!!

My Mother taught me manners
Thank you Mom.
I just wish the other Mothers would teach manners too!!!

Sunbeams

Today in Sunbeams Carson made this...

Then he proceeded to tell me that this was his face. I thought that was cute and told him he did a wonderful job. We then had a good laugh when he said that if he ever got lost to just show the police this face and they will know who to look for.
He then told me I should keep it forever so that I never forget what he looks like :)

Fun fun fun.... to tired for any more fun.

We did it. We broke down and bought the season passes, and I am sooo glad we did. I hope Carson enjoys it as much as I do. There just isnt anything like a day at 6 flags.

Especially when I get to see Curtis squeeze into the little rides with Carson.
Its just priceless.

My little stinker says that his favorite ride is the tram ride from the parking lot to the entrance.

Ok. The old guy is a little scary. But a great dancer!

The next few pictures are from the Hero's secret hide out
The first one is Hawk Girl

Wonder Woman. Carson couldn't take his eyes of her. I will admit that she made a very good Wonder Woman.

Carson is plotting with Robin and the Green Lantern.

The one in the middle is Captain Underpants, he just forgot the costume today.

Oh..... the "Wiggles"
I will have a whole summer of watching the "Wiggle" concerts.

For those who dont know. This is "Captain Feather Sword the Friendly Pirate"
and the Octopus.

Waggs the Dog, and Dorthy the Dinosaur, and Jeffery.
(even though the real Jeffery is not um..... caucasian.)
