Let it SNOW!!!

We were so blessed to have a snow day last week. I actually got out in it this year with the girls! But, the most fun this year was letting Koda try snow for the first time! He wasn't as thrilled with it like the girls were!

Takin a Bath in the Tub

I am a little embarrassed to say, Koda took his first bath in the tub! Yes, I know he is now 9 months and should have been in the tub sooner, but I the sink in the kitchen was so easy after messy carrot and peas.Well, he loved it!(And I was so glad he would "cover himself" each time I took a picture!)

Singing angels

This year Cami got to sing with the TSC Preschool choir. In these things you never know what is going to be the most fun to watch.... the little ones falling asleep, the silly ones showing their backside, or

your beautiful little girl!

What a doll!

Happy Birthday Betty

For her 37th birthday, my sassy friend Betty Apple wanted a night out on the town! We all got dressed up and headed to Nash Vegas for dinner at the Standard and then wine and Ivey Cake at....hmmm what was that place called?

Here we are walking the streets downtown (sorry mom, the dress was too pretty for a coat!) Me and my date

The birthday girl and her Prince Charming

For her birthday, I got Betty a bag that was not only for her, but for funds for children in Africa and the Jones family who need support adopting their two sons. This picture was just too funny not to show!

Looks like Ivey gave the Birthday Girl a Birthday "pinch"!

Happy Birthday Betty! May all your wishes come true!

Christmas pictures

Each year, I make a calendar for our parents and myself for the next year. So, as soon as the tree gets up, I take pictures of the kiddos in their Christmas p.j.s. for the month of December. (One of these will be on our Christmas card.) Here are this year's photos:

Morning Snuggles

The morning is a crazy time for us (ME) in the Carp house. Chris is gone by 6:00 to drive the bus. So, this leaves super mom to get ready and then get three children fed and dressed... and make sure all bags and lunches are packed and ready to go....I am not a morning person, so this has not been easy for me. BUT, when I come out of the shower to see me sweet hearts lovin' on each other in my bed, my stress fades and I see how blessed I am!

Happy Birthday Scott Dirt!

On November 9th, our beloved Uncle Scott turned the big 4-0. To celebrate, Kristen threw him a Titans vs. Redskins Party. The girls were so excited! They knew exactly what they wanted to buy him! Chloe wanted to buy him "hair" and Cami "the thing that makes you toot" (a whoopie cushion). Well, here is what that looks like.....Scott Dirt!

But the real excitement was on the trampoline, when uncle Phil broke every vertebrae in his back jumping with the girls on his back!

His biggest fans Aunt Mindy and Koda were there to cheer him on!
