Brotherly Love

We have just been busy with everyday life and getting ready for the holidays. Carson finished up his football season and we are getting a much needed break from his hectic sports schedule. He had a great time this year and got to play many different positions and even run the ball- which he loved. They had their football banquet this weekend and Carson played his guitar- "Boys of Fall" by Kenny Chesney. He did such a great job and once I get the video, I will post it. I was so proud of him and it was such a moment; the perfect ending to the season.

Cal is growing too fast. He just had his 15 month check up and he was 25.7 lbs (60%) and 33" (95%). He is a real monkey! He is into a major climbing phase, likes to climb on chairs, toys, whatever he can and just has no fear. We need to get him a climber. He also has gotten 2 bruises on his head this week because of that non stop motion and lack of fear =(

I thought I'd post a couple videos just showing the brotherly love that I so enjoy seeing everyday, even in little ways. The first is Carson practicing his guitar and the second is a brand new game that Cal figured out. He thinks it's so much fun. Enjoy! We really do love these boys!

Halloween Fun!

We had a great Halloween weekend. Saturday night, our friend's the Cole's had their big, annual Halloween party. It's a great time every year- with hayrides, pumpkin carving, food, fun and a bonfire. They do such a wonderful job and everyone just has so much fun. Carson was a cryptic rocker, Cal was a monkey, and Jeff and I went as Bo Peep and a sheep. We also ran into another little Monkey at the party=)
Then, Sunday we met up with Amy, Ali, Carter and Lexi for some trick or treating. We took Cal and Lexi in the wagon and let them walk up to a few houses. Cal loved getting out and walking with the big kids. It got pretty cold, so we only stayed out about an hour. Then, we went home and Carson trick or treated for a little while longer. It was a fun weekend!
Here are some pics of the boys and of Jeff and I at the party.
