Carson 2 months



Carson 2 months






Carson 2 months



Mason at 2 months

I think it is a lot of fun comparing the two boys. Gosh to me they have a lot of the same characteristics. What do you think??

Carson is now 2 months old. He is sleeping through the night and has been for a bit now and is in his own crib. Chad finally talked me into getting him out of our room. At his check up everything looked good. He weights 13 lb 14 oz (90%) and is 24 and 1/4 inches long (90%). I think he is taking after Mason and will be a big boy as well.

Carson is smiling and cooing at us all the time. He loves his new play gym. His favorite is the monkey, he'll grab at it and put it in his mouth.

As you can tell Carson is losing his hair in spots. Before we know it he will have a mowhawk.

Yummy Toads

Well we went out to Mom and Dad Conklins for dinner the other night and after we ate we took Mason outside and Dad and Chad took him to see the neighbors lambs, pigs, horses and chickens. When they came back they told us how scared Mason was of the lambs and Chickens. Well, I had never seen them so Dad took Mason and I back. Well we got Mason to go into the barn to see the lambs and he was doing fine until he noticed that a chicken had followed us into the barn and it scared the living daylights out of him. He screamed so loud and would not let go of me. It sure was nice to cuddle with him though!

Also while we were there Chad's dad found a little toad. He cupped it in his hands and showed Mason. Mason saw it moving and thought he might want to touch it. Well that is what he did. He grabbed it right out of papa's hand and put it right in his mouth!!! It was so gross. I screamed so loud for them to get that out of his mouth! I guess kids will do anything :) But it's still gross.

McQueen Cake

Here are some pictures of the cake I made for Mason's Conklin party tonight. It was a lot of work but I am happy with the way it turned out.

2 year pics and visiting Great Grandma

Mason is two now and we just cannot believe it. He is growing up so fast. We are able to understand more of what he is trying to tell us these days. He also is saying most of his ABC's when he hears the song but does have some favorite letters like B and P and Y. Too funny. He is counting as well. He really likes to count our fingers and his cars. He has been a very good boy for us but the other day he did do something that wasn't the greatest but I can take partial blame for it. What he did was while I was making his Nemo cake he must have taken the cordless phone and thought it would be a good idea to put it in the toilet. I never did hear the toilet flush but I wouldn't be surprised. I am not sure how long it was in there but Chad found it after being at basketball camp. Even though it ruined the phone we still were able to laugh about it.

His cars and cars book! Can't go anywhere without them


Still loving bball


Growin up!


Happy boy


Carson 7 weeks hanging out with Great Grandma Peuler


Crashed

Mason's 2nd Birthday - Peuler Party

So for the Peuler party I made Mason a Nemo cake. This is because the last two weeks before his birthday all's he wanted to do was watch Nemo. He even woke up in the morning saying Nemo before calling for Mom or Dad. I guess I see how we rate! It was a great party. He was able to share his birthday with his cousin Madi who turned 5 and my dad who turned....well I won't throw him under the bus :) It was a great day


New bowling set and tools

Swimming with daddy

Loving his new Cars...Chick Hick (whick he calls Kicks) and Checker

Hanging out with Papa

NEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st time out swimming

So we all went out when the pool was finally open and Mason decided to sport his new Cars bathingsuit but he only really played in the small pool. He loved to splash the water in the big pool but wasn't ready to go in there the first time out. I guess that was a good thing for Chad and I because the water was still very cold. He still is wearing tubes as you can see in the picture but Blue is a good color on him don't you think?!?!


Brrrr, the water is still freezing

Having fun anyways

Break time...loving juice that isn't watered down

Carson is out like a light

How adorable!

Carson 1 Month

Things here are going really well. We are excited for Chad to be done with school after this week. We are going to try and spend a lot of time as a family and enjoy this summer. Carson and Mason both are getting so big. Everyday there is something new. I am enjoying every minute I get to stay home with them. Yes even the hard times, I feel so lucky!

Mason was a little shy and Grandma was protecting him

2 Weeks

Well Carson had his 2 week appointment today and everything is looking great. He now weighs 10 lbs and is 21.5 inches long. He sure is a growing boy! Carson is a bit of a night owl but it is fun for Chad and I to have some one on one with him after Mason goes to bed too. We are just loving every minute spending time with the two boys. Mason seems to still be doing pretty good. Of course he has his moments but we can't complain.



Mason playing at the mall, he now loves the slide but he also loved watching all the other kids play too


Jumping like a crazy man





Not to thrilled about the hat but he did keep it on for the whole stroller ride

Carson Dale

Hello All!

Well we are happy to say Carson Dale Conklin is now here. He was born Saturday May 3 at 6:49 AM. He was born weighing 9 lb 6 oz. 21inches long. And yes I survived! :) So far he is a very content baby and we think he looks just like Mason. Mason is doing really well too. Grandma and Grandpa bought him a new Diego movie so he's pretty pumped about that. As for me I am doing pretty good. They think I may have endometriousis (sp) I have been having some severe pains in my stomach so they put me on an antibiotic to hopefully help. If it doesn't get better I will see my doc tomorrow. Hope you enjoy all the pictures. They are kinda in random order because Carson is hungry! Thank you to everyone who came to visit and called. We are so lucky to have such an amazing family.

KU Fan!
