Pencil Sale

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:05:00 GMT

Today after school/work, the boys were playing out front a little bit. Carter came in for a drink, and I asked him what Carson was doing. He said, "He's selling pencils". We walked out into the garage and saw this.........

Little Rockers

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:23:00 GMT

Carson and Carter are really into music. They have some CD's they listen to on their radio. Allison gave them a couple of "Monster of Rock" CD's, and occasionally we'll hear Twisted Sister or Quiet Riot blaring from their room. We crack up when that happens.

They have grown to really like Benjamin Del Shreve, which is a local band. They play in Fayetteville, Tulsa, and Little Rock mainly. They are very good and we hear them on the radio a lot. The boys ask to watch their videos on youtube all the time, and they'll watch it over and over. We have attempted to take them to see them twice. Once at gulley park in fayetteville, but the band was stuck in Denver at the airport and never made it. The boys were disappointed. The other night, we took Carson to see them at BWW, but it rained and they couldn't go on outside on the patio. Carson cried, he really wanted to see them. We hope to get it worked out soon.

Carson loves the song "Panama" by Van Halen. He heard it on the radio in the jeep once and wanted me to buy the CD. I let him know that I do have that CD and we listen to it in the jeep now. He likes that. He also likes Seether's "Rise above this", and was really interested when we told him that we went to see them the other night in Fayetteville.

They are both extremely interested in Daddy's guitar. They want to play with it all the time, but I mainly let them play with my old accoustic. They both want a "guitar you plug in like daddy's" and drums too. This past weekend, we took them into the guitar center in fayetteville. They loved that. They had a Squire mini electric that was just carson's size. He held it and wouldn't hardly put it down, he wanted it bad. I think we are going to buy him that and a small 15-20 WATT amp for Christmas. We looked at drums for Carter. I really think Carter would like drums better than a guitar. Not sure he's ready to have a guitar, but Carson probably is. I think I can get some cheapo electronic drums for Carter. That way, he can plug some headphones into them.

After we got home from the guitar center, they were singing loudly and making guitar riff noises with their mouths, while playing air guitar.

Digging a Hole....

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:24:00 GMT

Carson and Carter came running in the house to tell us about the BIG HOLE they were digging with their little shovels. They said they were gonna dig all the way to the ocean, so they could fish from our back yard. They were filthy! They were so excited though. They wanted me to come look at it, so I grabbed the camera and followed them out back. I was expecting a large crater in the back yard, but it was just a little hole. They sure thought they were gonna dig it all the way to the bottom of the earth, though. Here is a picture..

Busy week...

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:36:00 GMT

Been a busy week. The boys got to stay with Kellie and play with her girls the other night. Me and Allison went to see Seether, Black Stone Cherry, and Theory of a Deadman in fayetteville. We had fun, and I think the boys had fun playing with the girls, even though they would NEVER admit it.

The boys are fine, they got over their sickness. We have nothing planned for the weekend, so we'll just hang out here at the house and play if it's nice.

Sleepy Boys

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:25:00 GMT

I was at the mall last night while Carson was playing on the playground, and I was looking through the pictures on my phone. I had 3 pictures of the boys sleeping in odd places, so I thought I'd share those.

Carter Bob

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:36:00 GMT

No, "bob" is not his middle name, but that's what we call him. He was a groucy todler, and his momma started calling him "Carterbob grouchpants", and the name sort of stuck. Poor little guy.

Anyway, C-bob has strep throat today. His pre-k teacher told us that he had a bad day yesterday. Last night, he was running some fever and still has a nasty cough brought on by allergies. Mine have been bad too.

We sent out the bat signal, and his Gagas met Allison and Carter at the doctors office in Fayetteville first thing this morning. He has strep and got some anti-biotics. Gaga took him home with them and he's been feeling pretty good all day. He always feels better when he's with a grandparent. They will watch him for a couple of days and we'll go get him later this week or this weekend.

Carson doesn't know yet, so he probably won't be too happy that Carter got to go and he didn't. He's got something fun planned for Saturday though, unless we go down to get C-bob.

Monster Truck Show

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:11:00 GMT

I took the boys to the monster truck show in Springdale this weekend. They had a blast! It was very loud, but I brought ear plugs. Here is a picture of them having fun with the monster trucks.

Another new video!

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:02:00 GMT

We have another new video up tonight. Carson riding his motorcycle at Gaga's on Labor Day. Me and Carter hot-rodding on the 4-wheeler too.

Two new videos to watch!

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:07:00 GMT

We have two brand new videos to watch of the boys, from the weekend. Click the links and a video should open in a new window.

We might have a little drummer boy on our hands. Here is Carter playing the drums.

Carter finally started jumping off the diving board by himself (with floaties). Little turd could swim if he tried, but he insists on wearing them. Here's the last time swimming for 2008.

Swimming 2008

We had a great birthday weekend!!!

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:45:00 GMT

We sure had a great weekend. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and gifts. Everyone did too much as usual, but those little guys sure loved it all. We got back home this afternoon, and the boys put their new cowboy boots on, and spent all afternoon/evening playing with little nerf guns, legos, and all the other toys they got.

They were SO sweet too! We couldn't belive how well they acted today when we got home. They just got into bed, and they were tired. Big weekend of laser tag, video games, living room camping, swimming, motorcycle riding, 4-wheeler riding, and playing with their friends and family.

The weekend was great, and it was a good way to say goodbye to summer. I guess we can start looking forward to fall/Christmas now. We love you all, and thanks again. I have a ton of new pictures and videos to upload this week. I'll do my best to get it all on here. Here's a cute picture of the boys at the birthday party.
