Madison walking

This is the best video we have of Madison walking so far. She practically runs now. She just woke up from her nap one day and decided she was going to start walking. And she hasn't looked back.

Soccer Camp

This is Carson and his soccer coach, Coach Ben.

The soccer sessions were one hour long but Carson generally only participated for the first 15-20 minutes. I don't know if he is ready to play soccer this fall or not. That is still up in the air. When he did actually participate, he had a blast! Every time we would drive by the soccer field during the day he would ask where Coach Ben was. Carson even tried to talk like Coach Ben one day. We were driving home and Carson said, "Mommy, I saw a trailer!" Then he said, "I saw a traywa." I must note here that Coach Ben is from England.

This next video is of one coach 'soccer surfing.' It is about a minute long but watch until the end to see Carson try it out.

Little climber

Madison's climbing adventures continue on a daily basis. Her latest feat is scaling the inside of the refridgerator. She can already climb up in Carson's full size bed. She tries her hardest but she just can't quite make it up onto the couch...yet.

Carson's Birthday

Even though Carson's birthday was almost a month ago, I still wanted to post some of his pictures. We took him to Toys R Us the night before so that we could spend his birthday money. He picked out a train set and a few trains. We were able to convince him that he could not open them that night. I still do not know how we did that! So after he went to bed, we wrapped everything and put it in his chair at the table so that he would find them for breakfast. Maybe that was not such a good idea since the ONLY way we could get him to eat his breakfast was by giving it to him as he sat in the middle of his new train set!

After breakfast we went to the local children's museum. They had a Clifford exhibit that the kids enjoyed. Then we went to the Rainforest Cafe at MGM Grand for a late lunch. Carson loved all of the animals in the restaurant as long as he did not get too close.

We had his birthday party the next night and we rented a bounce house which was a HUGE hit.
