Back to School Already

Well, it is hard to believe that summer is offically on the down hill slope. I'm not exactly sure where it went to. I was pregnant and very much miserable and them before we knew it Carson celebrated his 1st birthday and Lily was born. Now three months have passed and soon Fall will be here! Even though its not back to school for us for a few more years, Carson enjoys watching the school bus drive down the street every morning. He has some kind of fascination with big vehicles!!

Things have been busy as usual, but I not really sure with what. We stay home most days unless I'm really brave and then we maybe go to Wal-Mart. Thats the only store where both Lily & Carson will fit in one cart. Although, I'm not able to purchase many things b/c there is no room.

Well I think I can say that we are really settled into the house finally and Carson has helped by initiating it with throwing food on a couple walls! Yikes! We have been enjoying Hutch a lot and being closer to my family, but we really miss getting to see our friends in Wichita. It seems like life just happens and before you know it weeks and even months have passed without taking or seeing them!

I'm happy to report that we currently ARE NOT PREGNANT!!!! We didn't think that going for three in three years would be a very good idea!!!!!!!!!!!

We hope that all is well with all our family & friends and we hope to see/talk to you all very soon!

Love,
Michael, Amber, Carson, & Lily :0)

Pictures of the Kiddos!!

Okay so this is very quick and some of the pictures are side ways, but I wanted to get some pictures out. It's bed time so I'm trying to hurry!!

Carson & Lily are changing so much everyday especially Lily. She is sitting in her Bumbo and enjoying looking around and seeing everything. Seems kinda early but she loves it!Carson is into about everything and he really keeps me on my toes.

Things here are busy as usually!! How can they not be busy following around two kids! Wouldn't change it for the world! Michael is really enjoying work, especially his new boss...such a great guy and a real family man!

Carson has really enjoyed being out side with Michael and he has been quite the helper, but the sprinklers are almost finished! HA HA!

Hope that you enjoy the pictures! Talk to you all soon!

Love,
Michael, Amber, Carson, & Lily :)

July Update

Hi to all! Sorry that it has been so long, six weeks have passed since our last update and Carson is now walking and Lily is changing so much every day. She is holding her head up and smiling and cooing when you talk to her. She has some cute cheeks and already weighs close to 15lbs. Carson on the other hand is into everything! It seems like everyday he does something new and he also has started saying thank you all the time! They just wrench my heart!! We are so blessed to have such great kids!!

We have had a very adventurous few weeks. Michael and Carson finished putting the spinklers in the ground (Carson will sit in his wagon and watch daddy for hours on end). Hopefully it will dry up soon and they can come dig our well.
We took an airplane ride to Maryland to see Michael's family. Other than carrying a million things through the airport everything went well. Both Carson & Lily did great on the plane rides...they were angels!
Spent the 4th in doors due to the rain. We were really looking forward to seeing the fireworks in Sterling. Instead, we bought a few things and shot them off at the house after the rain passed. Carson thought that is was wonderful!!

Things are going well with Michael's job. He is starting the last phase of the training process and will be done the end of October. Please keep him in your prayers as this will be a very stressful time.

I'm doing well! I'm really starting to feel like we have established somewhat of a routine. Don't get me wrong, there are days that I would like to pull my hair out. However, I'm so glad that I get to stay home and enjoy every moment with the kids.

Hope all is well with all of you, please keep in touch!

Michael, Amber, Carson, & Lily :)

Pictures of Our Cute Kiddos!!

Today we got brave and traveled to Wichita to have pictures taken for Carson's 1 year and Lily's newborn shots! We had a fun time and Carson showed off for everyone (hard to believe huh?!)
So I tried to pick out just a few pictures and then I realized that I probably put in a FEW too many, but I just couldn't decide! Of course Michael & I think that they all are great, but not bad considering that we took over 100 different shots. We hope that you all enjoy them as much as we do!
