My Tooth

My tooth fell out and left a space

So big my tongue can touch my face,

And every time I smile I show

The place where something used to grow.

I miss my tooth as you can guess

But now I have to brush one less!

Birthday Celebration!

We celebrated Carson's 5th birthday at the Starostka Lake on August 1st. It's a good thing we hadn't planned anything for his actual birthday because he ended up having strep throat. Poor little guy recovered quickly. I think his dad coming home helped!

Carson caught a big fish with Grandpa Mike!

Our house is now busting at the seems (again!) with toys!

Ruff~Ruff! The cake was dog-gone tastey!

Little Miss Brooklyn was all smiles and great big belly laughs while Carson tore wrapping paper.

Carson & Laikyn enjoyed a little splash or two in the water.

One of Carson's favorite things to do at the lake is ride the jet ski. He was thrilled that Jason took him for a ride...and went really fast!

Happy Birthday Carson!

How can it be possible? We welcomed our baby boy into the world 5 years ago today. He has stolen our hearts and filled our days with laughter & joy. We love you to the moon and back PeeWee!

Happy 5th Birthday Carson Michael!

Furnas County Fair

We decided to try something different this year and endure 4 nights at the Furnas County Fair. The tractor pull started on Wednesday evening and Carson gave it his all! The rest of the fair was filled with rides, rodeos, funnel cakes, swine show, demolition derby, snow cones, and did I mention more RIDES.

Everything a fair should be and then some!

Missing Brett

Things I wish I didn't have to do while my husband is gone...

1. Mow the grass....and mow again 5 days later.
2. Lug 40lb bags of softener salt to the basement.
3. Do laundry alone....yes, majority of the time we share this chore.
4. Cook...because we all know my meals aren't near as tasty as his!
5. Grocery shop...I don't mind but it's much easier when we each have a kid in our cart.
6. Sleep alone.
7. Tell my kids how many days until their daddy comes home OVER & OVER again.
8. Comfort Carson when he says he misses his daddy.
9. Find a ton of things to do on the weekends to make the time go faster.
10. Worry about him.
