Carsen's Newborn Pics....

Hey friends, here are a few of Carsen's newborn pics....there aren't many but I just wanted to share some! Enjoy!!

When I turned the corner....

This is what I saw...



My reaction: I wanted to scream but instead I let her know that this is NOT paint, told her what it was and then spanked her on the bottom and grabbed my phone to take a picture

After the clean up, we are still stained!

This is what happened: Grant was at a meeting one night and Carsen was resting....she is an afternoon/evening person, so I actually had a little time to check my emails.....while I was doing that, Braylen got content and found something to play with.....FOOD COLORING! Yep, friends...FOOD COLORING! I heard her in the pantry but I didn't hear anything unraveling, or really I didn't hear anything at all...! I kept calling out to her (while I am on the computer,) Braylen...what cha doing? Nothing...she would say! Then after a GOOD 15 minutes went by, I walked around the corner and peeked in the pantry and I saw her covered in GREEN/BLUE FOOD COLORING.....ahhhhhhhhh! It was on the floor and all over her jeans and her sleeves.....! All I kept saying was DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING....because I wanted to clean the floor up first...which made a HUGE smearing mess as I was doing that...but I needed to clean it up fast because Addie kept licking it....and yes....Addie had a MILD Green snout for a day....lol! After I cleaned up the mess, I then took her up to the bath.....it was quite a GREEN experience....the water, tub, bath cloth, towel, EVERYTHING was GREEN....even my hands were! Oh man, I swear Braylen is so curious!!! Anywho, it stained her hands and she had to go to school the next day with GREEN hands....it was quite funny when I had to explain to the teachers why they looked the way they did. NEVER AGAIN....I guess she thought it was paint...who knows!

And to continue on the story of when I turn a corner....here are a few other stories that I will leave all the DETAILS out of.....POOP on the little potty, big potty, and the wall????? Addie's dog food and water all over the laundry room floor and soaked in water???? A kitchen stool pulled up to the counter in the kitchen and she is drinking my drink????? Crayons on the wall???? A whole roll of toilet paper unraveled on the bathroom floor???? Clearisil Zit Cream rubbed on her face, arms, and legs????? Water from the bath tub poured on the floor of the bathroom, a single layer of water covered the floor??? That is just a few...I guess I should be keeping my eye on CURIOUS BRAYLEN!

So needless to say, our lives are constantly busy but we are still in love with our Braylen and our Carsen. Speaking of Carsen, while all this is going on she is just hanging out, watching and listening....well I guess she has too....she can't do anything else...lol! However, I did want to add a little punch in for her....she is GROWING LIKE A WEED! She has doubled and now I call her my CHUNKY MONKEY....see for yourself!!

Almost doubled....

Carsen Faith is a whopping 9 pounder...whoa!!! She has almost doubled in size in 5 weeks....!!! i guess the doctors werent kidding when they said she would grow better outside the belly.

This is how Carsen and I finish out the day...in my bed sleeping.....she is a snuggler just like Braylen was...I love that!

***Dont forget to check out the Halloween blog below***

Happy Halloween Ya'll

I bet you haven't seen a Raggedy Ann as cute as this one! Braylen was ADORABLE and LOVED her costume.....! This Halloween we had our friends over again to all go trick or treating together. Our friend Tara was the only adult that dressed up with the kids...what a great sport!

Carsen didnt have a costume to "sport" but she was there dressed in her (not so girl) Halloween clothes.

Grammy and Poppy came to hang out that night also.

Some of the crew on the Hay ride ready to set out and get some candy!!!

Since Elisabeth doesnt blog, I had to share the cutest doggy ever on Halloween! Check out Bodie, is he just not Adorable....love my nephew and miss him terribly!
