Field Trip (literally!)

We hit the farm again this fall to check out Papa Mo's handy work in the fields, or as Carson says, "Let's check out what Papa Mo mowed down."

While the cat(s) is away...

...the mice will play! Nate and I traveled to Lansing in October for Uncle Boog and Aunt Ashley's wedding. Papa Mo and Baba were gracious enough (There was no arm pulling needed!) to stay with the boys. I'm pretty sure that both grandparents where thoroughly exhausted when we returned. Thankfully, our neighbors' kids helped entertain the boys. (Thank you, "on the hill" crew! :)

Fall Fun

The boys are finally taking full advantage of their swing set. It doubles as a pirate ship, an airplane, a fortress, an apartment and a bus throughout the day. Luckily, I fit in all its cool crevices, too!

Farm Flip Fun

We visited Papa Mo & Baba's in the spring. As usual, the boys spent more time outside than in. (Any takers on this blog's title? It's one of Carson's favorite iPad memory games. :)

Brady's 2nd Birthday

Better late than never, right? We had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed birthday party for Brady this year. He's not nearly as obsessed with Mickey as he was in June, though his multiple stuffed Mickeys are still never out of his reach.

Back on the Saddle

We're back! After months of not blogging, I've decided to get back to it. The memories we are making are simply too precious to remaining just that, memories. Stay tuned!

Mom's (and Dad's!) Day Out

Nate and I attended the Justice for All Ball last month. We mentioned to Carson that it was a "black tie event," so when my mom asked him what Mommy and Daddy were going to do at their black tie event he said, "Rub cake on each other's face!"

Close enough! :)

Christmas 2011

The day-to-day of it all is a blur now, but at least we captured it on film!

That damn iPad!

Blame my lack of blogging on our iPad. I'll eventually get around to downloading holiday photos to my work computer and "cliff-noting" our daily lives via Blogger. Stay tuned.
