Catch Up

I feel like this is the same song different verse, but I've been having problems uploading pictures. I do believe that I have FINALLY have a permanent solution, so we'll see I had to do something because my phone was running out of storage and I had to get all the pictures off of it. Problem solved for now. So here's a wrap up of the last couple weeks.

Carson and I enjoyed playing out in the snow. It was very cold. We couldn't get Darrin or Miles to join us. I finally got some new snow pants after using the same ones for over 15 years :) I know this because I bought them for a ski trip from before Miles was born.


A little UNO in the car while Miles had an orthodontist appointment.


We were under a tornado warning recently. Carson was completely freaked out while the sirens were going off because Darrin wasn't home. He tends to be nervous when Darrin isn't home. 


I relented and we went to Stephanie's storm shelter to calm his mind. A little UNO there too. 


We celebrated Marmee's birthday with some Chickfila and presents. We have a nicer meal planned when the weather warms up.


More UNO.


Valentine's Day ready for everyone.


Carson and Miles got baseball related things. Darrin got more silicone wedding rings. I'm pretty sure he's had 15+ rings at this point. 


Every year we have a Super Bowl of Goodness contest at church. It's a breakfast cook off. I decided that morning I wanted to try to win it. I went to Walmart at 7am to get fresh flour and some individual cups for my breakfast. I made Cinnamon Flop and won!! I had to leave at the end of church during the announcements to get Carson home and ready for baseball practice. Right after I walked out, our preacher said the the winner just walked out the door :) That's really funny to me. I'm still excited I won. I LOVE when people like my cooking.


More UNO with Granny & Pa.


Carson has been using a new app to draw. I think he's doing great!


This is what happens when you wait until your laundry is overflowing to do it. And also when you just throw everything in the dirty clothes because you don't feel like putting it away. It was 3 loads.


I was away from my phone for 3 hours to attend a class about tinctures. When I got back to my phone, I had 45 unread texts. The group chat was active y'all.


He always leaves me surprise selfies.


Carson's basketball season came to an end.


A little coaching from big brother between the semifinal game and the championship game.


They finished as runner ups. 


They played there little hearts out. 


He was sad, but gave it all he had. 


Marmee, Granny, and Pa all came to see him play. 


It won't be long and Carson will overtake me too. 


His best friend won the championship. 


He played every minute of the semifinal and championship game. I don't think I've ever seen him look so exhausted. 


It was a fun season and he's already talking about next year. On to baseball now. We all know that's the most wonderful time of the year for me :):):) Let's go SGC, Top Notch, and Beast! I'm hitting publish without proofing a word of this, so hopefully you did the best you could to read through the typos!

Less Words Wednesday

70 degrees and sunshine called for a walk with friends. None of us really wanted to walk, but we knew we needed the vitamin D.


Carson practiced at home more this week and it showed in his games. He had a lot of fun too.


He had a friend over after baseball practice. His friend had to wear some of his clothes since he had on baseball clothes and stayed unexpectedly. When we took him home, Carson walked him to the door and told his mom we needed the clothes back, so she stripped him there and gave them back to Carson before I knew what was happening. I told Carson that she would have washed them and given them back to us and he said, "Now when would she have remembered that?"



It was a friend kind of weekend.


Carson loves for us to watch him play. I took him to practice the other night. Every time he made a shot he would look to see if I was watching.


Darrin and Carson are watching a show about firefighters and Carson is so into it.


This weekend is the last weekend of basketball. His team is the 3 seed. They play a semi final game and if they win they go to the championship. He would be so happy to play in the championship game. 


Nachos on the counter is always a hit. Carson kept trying to push guac and cilantro on his friend, but he wasn't having it. Carson is oddly passionate about cilantro :)
