Thanksgiving

Ok... so the last blog was suppose to have a video of me playing guitar hero, but it wouldn't upload, so unfortunately I can't share the video of me being a rock star ; )

We ended up going to Prineville for a few days and celebrating Thanksgiving there at dad's house with the family here's a picture of all of us after dinner:



Carson had lots of fun taking a bath in dad's sink:



And last but not least, here are a couple pics of the family bowling after Thanksgiving:

Want a good laugh??

Steve came home last night with guitar hero for the playstation 3, and I am officially addicted!! So, I thought I would share with you what a dork I am! I had no idea Steve was recording me until the end of the song. (Also, I had just gotten back from the gym- so I look beautiful!)

We were acting like children who just opened the best present EVER from Santa Claus!

I am not starting this blog with "so, I know I haven't posted in a while" because Steve says that is how I start every blog :)

The news of the week is that Carson's first tooth finally came through! He was a little fussy and not his normal happy self, then we went grocery shopping and when he was in his carseat in the basket he grabbed my hand and chomped down on my finger- ouch! I couldn't believe there was a little tooth in there!

Grandma and Grandpa Caudle came home from California-- yay! They couldn't wait to see Carson so they have him in Prineville for a couple days. It will be nice for me so I can get my house ready for guests at Thanksgiving. This will be my first Thanksgiving dinner at my own home, I am pretty excited. Thanks for checking in!!

I know I haven't updated in a few days but I am STILL sick!! I called the Dr and they said they won't prescribe me an antibiotic until I have been sick for over 10 days- uggh! So, I am going on day 8 now... and I swear to never get a flu shot again! I haven't gotten one in a couple years and this year everyone at work talked me into it. I know that it weakens your immune system allowing you to catch crap that I got; and just to prove my theory- Steve hasn't gotten it yet! Carson had a bit of a sore throat, it was sad... he would swallow and make an "ouchie" face and cry. Luckily it only lasted a day or so (knock on wood).

Carson holds his own bottle now!!! But, only when HE decides it's a good idea. He still wants to be cuddled and fed, but every once in a while he will grab the bottle and drink the whole thing all by himself! Also, he sits up now and loves it! I guess all I had to do was tell how behind he was and he figured out how to accomplish all these new things just to prove that he can.

This video is for Grandma to entice her to come home.....

Photo Shoot!!

Here's a few of the pictures we got las week!! They turned out really cute! It was a last minute decision to get his picture taken, I was at Babys-r-us getting some gifts for showers and I decided to get Carson's six month pics taken. They are pretty casual, but I love them! I am really sick right now-- uggh!! I have a sore throat, headache, cough.. all the works! I told Steve that I feel bad because I only have a cold and I feel like I am dying, yet I take care of very sick people all the time who don't complain as much as I do. I will be a better nurse now!! (and a better wife who doesn't complain so much)

Halloween

Carson was Mickey Mouse for Halloween!! Well... not for very long because he hated to wear the ears and the gloves! We went to Grandma Gail's house for dinner and pictures. Carson was being really cranky so we didn't get very many pics. He actually stayed the night at grandma's house that night :) Unfortunately both Steve and I had to work the next day so we weren't able to take advantage of the opportunity to sleep in. On the days off we have together (like today) we argue about who's turn it is to wake up with Carson, this morning it was 5 am :(
