Vertuccio Farms in Mesa, AZ

We went to Vertuccio Farms to visit their Pumpkin Patch.  Their pumpkin patch was basically a whole bunch of pumpkins placed in an area to be called the pumpkin patch.  It was still fun though and Carson really enjoyed himself.  Here is a slideshow I made of our trip.  Enjoy!

Wow! Didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted something!

Goodness! It has been a long time since I posted something. This will be my first post for the year 2011. It seems that since Facebook has become an everyday thing, I do a lot of posting and pics on there.

Now that it is summer Carson and I have been busy with swimming lessons. He goes Monday - Thursday for 30 minute sessions. We are on our 1st week in our 2nd session (3rd week of swimming lessons). It's fun to see how he has progressed from last year when we went to swimming lessons. Carson can now go underwater holding his breath and he doesn't cry. Yay! He loves to monkey crawl on the side of the pool and enjoys jumping off the ledge into the pool. This week I am having him not only jump into the water to me but go underwater from the jump. He did it today and did pretty good. He still needs to practice climbing out of the pool. The saying to get out is elbow, elbow, tummy, knee, knee. He is getting better at ice cream scoops while kicking his legs. He doesn't like trying to float on his back. I learned a song to the tune of "I'm a little teapot" to help him with floating. We'll see how he does.

Other than swim lessons we haven't really done much. We've had two playdates and I've taken him to the mall to ride the carousel. He really enjoys that. We've also gone to my parents a couple of times and he always enjoys visiting family. Speaking of family, we're excited that Travis' family will be coming to visit us in November! It will be fun to see everyone again and have Carson play with his cousin.

Upcoming event for Carson is going to the movies this Friday. Travis and I are taking him to see Cars 2. We're excited to see his expression and see how he does. He loves the movie Cars so we think he should do fine for Cars 2.

Well I guess that is all for now. Hopefully it won't be that long before I post something again. 

Movin' and Grovin'

When we're at G-pa's and Lita's house, Carson loves to get this toy and press the button over and over and over...lol.  He kept dancing to it and clapping at the end.  He is so funny. 

Labor Day - Aquatic Center

On Labor Day we went to Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center.  Carson really enjoyed himself! We played in the toddler play area and sat near the giant bucket that dumps water.  Carson would shreek when the water dumped.  It was so cute seeing him get so excited.  We also went in their lazy river in a double tube and Carson took turns laying on Travis and myself as we looped around the lazy river.  He loved when water would fall on us.  He also loved the mist area as you can see in the video below.  Hope everyone else enjoyed their holiday...we did!

On the phone

Carson loves getting on the phone and to push buttons.  Here he is talking to someone...oops!

Sweet Laughs

Here is Carson watching the tv show Super Why.  I was able to catch him on camera laughing at a part of the show.  So cute!  

Fry's/Kroger's shoppers...you can help

Friends and Family,

Do you ever shop at a Fry's or a Kroger's?  If so, you can help out my school.  Print this page with the barcode below and take it with you to a Fry's or a Kroger's.  Do all your normal shopping.  Go to the checkout and hand the page your printed to the cashier.  Ask them to link your Fry's/Kroger's card to my school.  You only have to do this one time a school year.  It's very simple and now every time you shop at Fry's/Kroger's, you are helping us earn money.  Thank you so much for helping out my school if you're able to.
