Preschool

How on earth can Carson be old enough for preschool? Today was his first day and he was so excited. He got to take his backpack, wear his new clothes, and put on his "cool" new shoes. We decided to take him to the elementary by my parents house. We heard wonderful things about the program. Since we will be moving back to their house in a few months we thought it would be better to keep him in the same school all year. Yep, my parents are going on a mission. They have asked us to take care of the house once again. After praying for month we decided that it will be the best thing for us. We will find out within the next month or so where they will be going.
This is his classroom and his cool name tag. Man I miss him. Ian has been asking me for the last hour if we could go get him. I guess he misses him too.
Did I cry you ask? You bet. For the last two weeks I've been crying. I'm not ready for them to grow up.

4 years old!

Carson's birthday was last week but I've been so busy I haven't had time to post. So while I have 2 seconds I wanted to wish him happy birthday.
This is Carson on his new bike. He is wearing his cool new helmet from Grandma and Grandpa Pulsipher. Can you tell that Ian is just a little bit jealous? Carson was nice enough to share his skates (also from grandma and grandpa). They would take turns on who got to wear the skates. He is in an Elmo phase right now. He wanted to help make Elmo "muffins" (cupcakes). I didn't get a picture of the cupcake, but this is him eating it in one bite.
I can't believe how big he is already. I'm so very thankful that he is my big boy.

You're so old

Happy Birthday Kevin!

8 Months old

I can't believe that Braxton is already 8 months old. He has just started trying to pull up to a standing position. This has been the cause for a lot of falls and tears. He picked up on crawling so fast. I now find him like this Stuck in a place he can't get out of. Yesterday he followed me into the kitchen. Within minutes he started crying. I thought he wanted to be picked up so I bend over and pulled, but he wouldn't come. Somehow he had gotten his foot stuck in a gap under our cupboards resulting in this The best part is how much he loves his brothers. Right now he is chasing Carson around the front room. I'm not sure if he likes them or the crumbs and toys they leave behind.
I love how dang cute his is
Could you pass on that cute smile, or even cuter legs? I can't.

Sick as a dog

I found out today that Ian has croup. It is one of the saddest things to see. The poor little boy is so sick he can't even walk. He will try and end up just sitting down because he can't move anymore. This morning Kevin found him in the hall by our room moaning. He tried to come get in bed with me and couldn't go any farther. Of course he gets this right after getting over his stomach flu. We have been very blessed not to have sick kids. Sure they've all had their share of colds but nothing like this. I feel like I'm at a complete loss. All Ian wants is to be held. Something that I love to do if I didn't have a baby crying and a 3 year old running around. It's one of those times when you feel so overwhelmed with things that are out of your control. The good thing is that he is on medicine and should be feeling better soon.
I feel bad for poor Carson. His best friend is sick and doesn't know what to do. He wants to play and has no one to play with. I find him playing with Braxton a lot more lately. Braxton loves the attention.
