Chad's favorite thing to do when the weather gets a little cooler, is to have campfires in his parents backyard. So, this is what we have been doing the past couple of weekends. It is so fun to just sit around the campfire and talk, and of course you have to have SMORES. We are sure loving fall!!!!
Ella loves Smores!!
Carson enjoying the fire with Uncle Ryan
Ella was pretending she was camping with Grammie and Pop Pop
That is so fun! We have some friends that live over by us that have this big huge fire pit and we often times when the weather is nice like this go over and do the campfire thing and have smores. We always have such a good time. Those are the memories that your kids will remember forever. JoLynn
I love campfires, we sat by the firepit in Cali..kids loved it! Cant wait for it to cool down to enjoy our little fire out back! Fun memories for your kids.

Ella: "Mama, when I get bigger I'm going to marry daddy because he's my best friend!"

Ella: "Don't worry mama, you can dance with Carson at our wedding!"

Carson and I were looking through a photo album I made with pictures of our family, Jesus, cousins, grandpas, grandmas etc. and I was saying the names of the people in the picture and he was repeating them back to me. When we flipped to the picture of Jesus, he took the book from me right away and gave the picture of Jesus a huge kiss, and had a huge smile on his face! So Precious!

Ella was watching a movie on our bed before she went to bed, and when the movie was over I said "Ok, it's time for you to go to bed!" She lays back down and says"No, I think I will retire right here." It was so funny, I have know idea where she comes up with this stuff:)

I put Carson down for bed, and thought he went right down. Chad and I were laying on our bed watching tv, and all of the sudden we hear Carson through the monitor singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to himself. Chad usually sings that to him before bed. It was sooooo sweet. I wish their was a record button on the monitor. He sang himself to sleep:):)-19 months old

what a fun idea! Have you ordered those shots yet? Like you need them, though you are so skinny!
I ordered the B12 with lipotropics. They definitely helped with energy! You'll have to let me know how you like them...
