My loves!

February has been great so far with all the fun celebrations.  We had Valentine's Day and Brent and Hallie's birthday.  Soon we leave for Napa with some great friends! I have never been a huge Valentine's Day person but I do love flowers so it's always nice to get those :).  Plus Natty gave B some tips on a little gift....it was such a fun, unexpected surprise!  Our Valentine's Day is much different now with kids....it was a chaotic night of a little stomach bug and burnt chicken....which ultimately ended in ordering a pizza and opening a nice bottle of wine.  We were all in bed by 830.  Which these days is a pretty perfect night!  :)

The next night we had a sitter and went to a great little steak and seafood restaurant called Mignons in Plano.  It was a wonderful night celebrating Brent's birthday!  

Here are some pictures of the kiddos!

4 months old!!

Our sweet, little Carson is 4 months old.  I honestly can't believe how fast time flies by!  I think it has gone even faster this time because Luke keeps us so busy!  Carson has literally been the sweetest, easiest baby! Here are his stats and what he is up to.

Weight 13lbs 11oz - 15th %

I can't remember length and head but those were both around 15th % too.

-You have just recently rolled over from stomach to back.  

-You are sleeping through the night (ahhhhh thank goodness) it is amazing how precious sleep is these days!

-You sleep WAY later than sweet Luke....he has about two hours on you every morning.

-You will smile at anyone that looks at you and it lights up a room

-You love to be held and talked to

-You get jealous if we give Luke more attention than you.  Your bottom lip will come out and get us every time.

-You are starting to laugh...a baby laughing is one of the greatest sounds in the world!!

-You eat about five 6-8oz bottles a day.  We are going to start rice cereal this week.

We just love these sweet boys so much and can't wait to watch them grow up together! 

Christmas 2013

We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating with the boys!!  We did have the curse of the Christmas sickness for the second year in a row and couldn't travel to Amarillo :(.  It absolutely breaks our heart when this happens!  We were so sad we couldn't go but knew it was the best decision for Carson.  Poor guy was really sick with RSV.  He had 102 fever for days and ultimately had to get breathing treatments.  We are so glad he is finally feeling better.  It's so hard to see your little ones sick!  We are looking forward to celebrating with the Bullard's this weekend and getting to Amarillo as soon as they get settled in their new house!

Here are a few pictures of our sweet boys enjoying the holidays!

We went to the most beatiful light display in Dallas.  Every single tree was in a different color!  So beautiful and Luke LOVED it!

We took the boys to see the Trains at Northpark and Luke loved it.  He was very serious about them at first :).  Carson wasn't really into it....he was sacked out the entire time!

Christmas morning!  Luke still doesn't really get the Santa thing but he sure loved waking up to fun new toys.  He was able to spend the morning with some of his cousins!

Instead of our typical gift exchange we did a wine tasting competition with a cab under $30 and winner got 1st pick of the prize which was $200 worth of wine.  Our wine won !!  It was so fun and great to find some good new wines.  We also did a fun new tradition on NY that I saw on pinterest.  Throughout the year we put memories in a jar and we opened it up on NYE.  It was so fun to look back at all our blessings of 2013.  What an incredible year!

My mom always gets the kids matching PJ's for Christmas.  This was the best picture we could get of all the kids.  Carson looks like he's passed out here but he was just resting his head :).
