Carson 4 months and growing

Carson with a silly face

Zane and Carson

Carson at 4 months

Then we have my love Carson... He's already going on 5 months here pretty soon. So hard to believe how fast time goes by. He is truly a great baby. Who his Mama has spoiled a bit. He's very much a Mama's boy. But loves his Dada and his siblings just as much. Who ever has him at the moment is who he favors.It's so amazing how much he has grown in the last couple of weeks, moving and rolling around so much. He's very interested in his toys. And every thing around him. I take him to a store with me and he is so curious on what is going on. He checks out every thing and every one.His tooth is almost popping threw you can see it it's just not came threw the skin yet. So far he really loves eating pears. He really liked peas for his first time eating them but the second time I gave him them, he wasn't so impressed. I feel like I have just begun in the mommy hood with him. It's crazy how much you forget over the years. I laugh because I at times have to call my best friend Cherie who is a first time Mommy her self to her son Zane (6 mo.) to ask her the simplest baby questions. ( ones I have simply just forgotten).It's funny how quick they get there little personality's. Carson likes you to lay with him at night before he goes to bed, he watches your eye's if your pretending to sleep he will go to sleep if you keep your eyes open looking at him... You might as well just give up because as long as your awake so is he. I was really done with the whole baby thing after having Monica. Now having Carson and experiencing it all over. I am beyond words of happiness. I cant picture it with out him.I can go on and on about him, he just amazes me so much. I just wanted to throw in a quick up date on his growth and all. you will soon be hearing more I'm sure. One more thing to add... Did I mention his sister has taught him how to scream.....

Fun times Memories and Good friends

Cherie and I

Sirrus and I

And of course Deana and I in 06

I'm going to begin this one with starting with Cherie, her and I have been best friends I believe since the 8TH grade. So going on 15 years. Cherie and I have had her ups and downs. But were way over all that mess now. (Those of you who know us will know what I'm talking about). Just some fun memories that come to mind... Back when we were around 14 or so we used to get our self's into over sized sweat pants (together with one of each our legs in the same pant leg) Then we would tie our shoe laces together. There was a time we were walking down the road to gather (at lake hemet) there was a car coming towards us. We panicked and both took off for the other direction and ended up smacking back into each other falling to the ground laughing. Then there was a time if any one remembers the drink Jolt. We had drink in so many of them when we went back to the little store to buy one last 6 pack. we were turned down. That's right we were not allowed to buy any more for the rest of the day. (too funny-good times) She is the one person that I can honestly say knows every thing about me. We for the norm usually talk at least once a day on the phone if not send each other a message or two threw the Internet. I am most thankful to have her a part of my life. There's no one in this whole world that could ever take her place. Even though we have both gone our own ways in life, having our own family's I know things will never change. To you Cherie.... thanks for just being you. I know I don't tell you how much i appreciate but I'm sure you know....
Then there is Sirrus who has been a part of my life for the last 7 years. Boy have we had some times. We use to be roomies. There were a lot of long nights on the couch texting random people and eating pop corn. Laughing now at how lame we were but also missing those times too. I remember one of our random I need to say mornings out on this one it began around 10 am or so we went to the VFW to go visit our fave. Pam. She had jello shooters (so persistent on us having one) - (although it's not like me to begin any thing like that at 10 am) So we thought aw what the hell.... 6 jello shooters and 4 shot's of peppermint shnops later we were on our way to the Tumbleweed then from there to the Casino. After gobbling down our french dips, we were homeward bound.... All except for the small little detail that we lost the car in the casino parking lot (yeah we probably should not have been driving) That is just one of the many. She is now living in Temecula and doing well... I miss her but we keep in touch... there will always be room on my couch for her with the late night texting and many bags of popcorn.
Deana my dear she has been a friend for about 5 years now. she's one of those that you meet and just know ur gonna love her and know she's a keeper. She's got two beautiful kids, who I love like my own. Even though her son has just turned 10 we look eye to eye. And her daughter is my daughter born all over again. (yup they've got too much in common) Deana and I have more of a relaxing time together you know we sit back and complain about our kids on having to them reminded on brushing there teeth on a daily bases... School and home work. we call it our "adult time" Although we have had our fun times together too... Sirrus and I took her out for her birth day a few years back... Poor thing was the one who had to drive home. Dam us girls cant control our liquor :) This is just a reminder to my girls on how much there loved and how much I appreciate our friend ship. Even though were all different there are stories to tell on each of us. So I will be ending this by saying fun times memories and friends....good

Junior Monica and Tyler

Where has the time gone? I cant believe that I am a mother of an almost 11 year old. Junior is in the 5Th grade and doing quite well. He is a great kid. He does pretty well in school. Loves to learn and has a huge heart. He is one who always wants to buy for every one else and will always put him self last. He is my biggest help inside and out. He loves being out side, he can always find something to do out of nothing out there. He has a great imagination. A bit you don't know about Junior is... He has a marble collection going, collects all the cans to recycle, loves drawing and making different things out of clay, he loves soccer and baseball. Rides his bike on a daily bases and tries to jump his skate board off of his made up ramps. He recently told me that he is going to buy a small house when he gets older do his wife doesn't have to work (boy will that change) He wants to be a fire fighter when he grows up (fallowing in his uncle Ryan's foot steps) Rap is his favorite music (sigh) he is my sweet heart.

As for my ms. Monica where do I begin....She is in the 4TH grade, She can care less about school when shes there shes fine but it's getting her to go that at times becomes an issue. Although lately she has discovered that is she actually listens and is not so mixed up in whats going on around her it's actually not all that bad. (the teachers at school call her the mommy cause she's always so worried about every one else) She also hates cleaning her room if I gave her a choice on running around the house 100 times and cleaning her room she would pick the running (no joke) On the brighter side with her I call her Carson's other mommy. She is a huge help when it comes to her baby brother. She's already got the instincts (uh oh) There are times when he just wants to be in her arms I don't know what it is with that girl but at any time of the day she can get him done for a nap. Monica actually likes scrap booking, cutting things out of magazines and making collages, she at this time loves Hannah Montana (driving her brothers nuts) she likes some country and of course like her brother a bit of rap. Monica loves having girl time if she could go get a mani. pedi. weekly believe me she would. She wants to be a Dr. when she gets older un decided on which one.... All in all with her i love her she's a keeper.

Then we have Tyler who will be 8 in a few days... He is in the 3RD garde. He's a goof ball always doing and saying things to make us laugh. He is doing well in school. If only he would turn in his home work... I don't understand this with him because that is the first thing he does as he steps foot threw the door. Tyler is probably (most of the time) my most organized kid. If knowing his Dad you would find this hard to believe. Tyler Loves his video games if I allowed it he would be on the 24/7 (no joke) He also likes basket ball and base ball, he likes going to the movies, and riding his bike. He wants to be a basket ball player when he grows up. Although I think he should be a video game designer.... Tyler is our singer will sing along to pretty much any thing that he hears so I think he's into all sorts of music.

All in all we are pretty blessed for the bunch that we have.

Christmas 08

We had a very quiet Christmas.... Tyler was off in Texas visiting his Mom and My two Junior and Monica were with there Dad. So it was just Tracy Carson and I at the house. It was actually very nice for a change. We didn't do much sat around and watched movie after movie. I didn't cook the traditional Christmas dinner I did all the fixings with chicken breast. Didn't bother us any. Junior and Monica came home that evening and opened there presents.... (Bouncing off the walls) It was nice. So glad the holiday season is over!

Thanksgiving 08

We went to my Grandparent's for Thanksgiving. We had a great time it was just the family which was nice. (and of course the X) We didn't do much but eat and then every one took a well deserved nap. Except those of us who cleaned up after the Thanksgiving mess... So long to cook so fast to eat! That happens with most every meal. I made a new non bake pumpkin cheese cake YUMMY! Grandpa loved it, in fact I had to make another so my Mom could take it to him the fallowing Wednesday. So Tahnksgiving day was short we stayed for a few hours then we were headed right back home. Carson actually stayed awake threw his day :0

Haloween 08

Were back in action.... Carson was a sock monkey for Halloween a very cute one at that. We went up to Idyllwild as we always do. Junior Tyler and Monica were Old people. We had a good time we met up with our friends Marci and Terry and Marci's little guy Robbie. We also got to meet up with Cherie and Zane just for a little bit. Zane was the cutest little giraffe I'd ever seen, and a very unhappy one at that. Carson slept his way threw his first Halloween, woke up for a costume and diaper change and that was about it. Looking forward to another fun Halloween...
