Ready for Thanksgiving!

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:11:00 GMT

Me and the boys are home today waiting for momma to get home from work. After she gets home, we are going to see family in Greenwood. The boys have been picking up their rooms and the back yard. They had every outside toy spread across the back yard. I told them to pick them all up before we leave to see their grandparents. As you can see by this picture, they had quite the system to get the job done.

Carter and his buddy, Brock

Carter and his Pre-K class went to sing some Christmas songs at the hospital Monday night. His little friend is Brock, and they have been big buddies since they were in diapers.

Limo ride to lunch

Carson got to go on his limo ride and a free lunch today to Golden Corral. He was one of only 13 kids that sold 5 boxes of candy, and this was their reward. I met him there and had lunch with him and his classmates.

Happy Halloween!

The boys were "blue men" from the blue man group. We took them to a local halloween event for kids. Then, we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. They had a blast and got lots of comments on their custumes.

Carter stayed home sick today. I took a day off to stay with him. He's feeling better now, but was running fever and said his body hurt. Hopefully he'll be good to go in the morning. The boys are so excited about halloween and their costumes.

We had a great weekend visiting with the grandparents. I took a few pictures of the boys up at Bell Park, and explained to them that me and their momma went on field trips there when we were their age. They had a good time.

Carson and Carter Love NASCAR!

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:23:00 GMT

Over the last few months, the boys have really become interested in NASCAR racing. Now, every Sunday after church, the boys ask to put it on the race. Carson likes Jimmie Johnson, who drives the #48 Lowe's Car. I think he picked it because he has a little toy Lowe's car. Also, his friend Dylan likes the #20 Home Depot car. They like to race against each other. We do not like Tony Stewart. Carter likes Dale Jr., the AMP car. It's cute to listen to them talk about it and pretend while playing with their little racecars, or on their bikes.

I found this drawing in Carson's backpack yesterday. He drew this at school.

The boys are doing well

The boys have been doing well, just very busy. We are all very busy, and it's only going to get worse since it's almost the holidays. The boys have been to see the grandparents the last couple of weekends. Going back on friday and they are ready. They love it so much.

We have been asked to make a Christmas list for for the boys to give to their Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles, etc. Click the link below to see their list. Email me at razorbackaaron@yahoo.com if you buy anything off the list and I'll remove it so nobody else gets the same thing. It's already October, and we'll be going to the mall soon to see Santa. The boys are excited about Halloween. We have some really special costumes for them. Check back Halloween night to see what they are!

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.
