Charlie's 2nd Birthday, Lili's 4th Birthday

Carson went to two super fun Birthday parties this summer.. his friend Charlie Parris' sesame street birthday, with the cutest cup cakes I have ever seen. Seriously look at that cookie monster cupcake he actually has a half bitten cookie coming out of his mouth. Charlie's aunty made those.

Carson had a great time celebrating with friends Josh, Emily, and Charlie.
Jumping in the bounce house, playing in the kiddie pool and sand box. So fun.

Just last weekend we went to Carson's cousin Lili's Fairy themed 4th birthday.(girls came dressed as fairy's or pirates and boys came dressed as pirates). Which was visited by Tinkle Bell herself. My camera died one picture into this great event so I will up load more pictures from Brian's camera later.
But the highlight of this party was Lili's friend Brandon who came in full on captain hook get up and as a 4 year old stayed in Character the whole party, he had complete drawn on stach and everything. Man I wish I had a pic of this kid to post. He is hilarious and each year we look forward to getting to see him at the cousin's birthday parties.
(last year at lili's party he serenaded everyone with his yukeleli (sp?) and sang somewhere over the rainbow.)

I love birthday parties I wish I could get paid to plan and attend them :)

Summer Fun

Back in July we went to the fair with Carson and our friends Jessica, Sergio, and their little baby mia.
Carson went on his first ride at the fair by him self! At lego land he rode rides with mommy or daddy, this was his first ride solo! On the pirate ship he loved it. I love the fair it is such a great time!

We also went to many Angel Games this summer since Brian had gotten an 18 pack. :)

So Although I was consumed with student teaching all summer long and didn't get the Summer days to play with Carson I did get to find time in the evenings and on weekends to get in some good quality time. WE frequently visited the Fullerton Farmers Market so Carson can get his dancing in to the live music, and jumps in the bouncers. Carson got a lot of Emily time. Carson got a lot of quality time with my friends who love him too and were "kind enough" to teach him a new dance move. ;)
We got to spend time with Uncle John this Summer too before he moved back to Washington we went to the beach and the aquarium.

WE are lucky that Carson's daddy is so generous to be taking care of us while I student teach. He is always making sure that I am not stressed out taking Carson whenever I need an extra break or more time to work on school stuff. He really loves his baby boy.
