Hello Spring!!!

Aaaahhhhhhhhh, spring. Last night was the first time this year that we could venture over to our park. The time change along with the warmer weather have totally transformed the nights! It was really cozy outside and Carson was getting antsy. And I just seem to take pictures most places we go now!

Here's that blink again!

I absolutely love the look of sunflare in photos. I haven't gotten the hang of how to actually pull them off yet, but times like these are perfect times to practice.

We have been taking Carson to the playground at the mall at least once a week after work for a while now. There is a small slide there and he goes down it backwards on his butt. He continued the trend at this one too. He was folded in half.

He loves his grandma.

And then there is this. I really wish these were somehow doctored up, but I promise I'm not that good. Carl has tossed Carson around since the first possible second he could. It keeps getting bigger despite Carson also getting bigger. I didn't even realize it was so high until I looked at these after. Wow.

We had to drag him away, but he was getting really cold once the sun went down. His little cheeks get so red just like mine do.

Then just as a tip for the parents out there...we went to Barnes and Noble this morning to play. It is such a fun place to take kids, but it isn't a common place to think of for an outing. Carson hated the library when I tried that, but B&N has toys and ours has a big Thomas train table and train set. He played there forever. And he immediately found the "tractor" section. They've been building houses all around us for a few months now so "trator dirt" and "big truts" are his current obsession. We have to check for the tractors and trucks multiple times a day. The two homes right behind us are just about finished and he's going to be devastated when all the equipment goes away. Luckily they are everywhere else out here so we'll just have to take more field trips to check them out. A place like B&N is great because it's free, but we never actually come home empty handed. Today we got a great tractor book and a horse book. Horses are his favorite animal of the moment for some reason.
I took these pictures on my phone so Daddy can keep tabs on the fun. He gets sad that he misses out. :(
