i know i said i would be better about posting but oh my have we been busy.  by the time bedtime for the kids rolls around we're beat and ready for bed ourselves.  why is it that the days just seem to be going by lightning fast?  the other day i was getting carson out of the shower and it dawned on me that he will be 10 in a few months.  i typed that correctly...10.  double digits.  and not only is he getting older but he's getting taller, too.  i wish i could say he's getting heavier but i'd be lying.  the poor kid is stretching out like gumby.  just like when he was a 1lb 15oz micro preemie, he is all arms and legs.  skinny arms and legs, but all limbs none the less.  i remember thinking that this tiny little thing would never grow and now he's playing video games and growing out of pants and shoes by the day.  i have never agreed more with the saying, "babies don't keep."


since miss priss turned three we have been in full princess mode.  a different one a day, sometimes multiple ones.  if it has a crown, dress and pretty shoes she's on board.  we took the kids to disney on ice and she was fascinated with all the princesses that came out.  but when the lights went down and she heard the frozen music it was priceless.  she sang every word and covered my mouth so that i couldn't.  i'm pretty sure she thinks she is going to be elsa when she grows up.  she can be right there with her oldest brother who will be in any costume he can find/fit into.

waiting on frozen to start

here they come!  you can even see that brooks was excited but he would never admit to that.

i think the boys' favorite part was all the food and junk there to buy.

...and the shoulder rides to the car.

this princess life is rough.  sometimes you get put in time out for your "princess" like behavior and fall asleep.  win-win for everyone!
