Water Baby!!!

Since we were already in the Houston area for Lottie's 1st birthday on Saturday, we went over to ViVi's to hang out with all his cousins after church on Sunday.  Carson had his first ever dip in the pool this past weekend!!!  It took him a little while to decide he wanted to give it a try, but once he did, he LOVED it!!!  He did not want to get out.  He had no fear jumping off the steps and just going for it!

All that swimming worked up his little appetite.  He sat and ate a ton of chips and some pretty hot green sauce.  Spice does not bother this kid.

Earlier, Carson also took the General Lee for a spin at Wannie & Papi's house... 

...and talked Papi into taking him on a wagon ride (after he drug the wagon all the way down the street by himself and was too lazy to pull it back)... 

Happy Birthday, Lottie Pop!

Saturday we went to Katy for Lottie Pop's 1st birthday!  Carson had so much fun seeing all his cousins and playing in the bounce house!  I was so proud of how well he played with the other kids and was so gentle around the "ba-bees."

He wasn't too sure at first... there were quite a few big kids playing a little rougher than he's used to...

Made it in and just checking it out...

This cracks me up... his eyes say "HELP ME!"

Life lessons from LuLu...

Hey, this is pretty fun!  (Once he was in and there weren't too many big kids, you couldn't get him out!)

Fun with Cousin Clayton!

Time for some swinging...

Cake Time!

Didn't quite go as planned....

Precious...

Such a doll!

 Little Keith's beautiful blues!

Someone else was having fun swinging...

Sweet Blaise... all the way from Maryland!  What a great surprise to get to see you!

Failed attempts at a 1st cousins picture....

Blaise was LOVING it and Lottie was NOT having it...

My handsome boys!

Bubbles!

Whatcha doin' there, bud??

No comment.... someone found out the hard way that wasn't a REAL step...

Presents! 

Being sweet with the bithday girl! 

The two "fair" kids were as red as could be from playing outside...

We had a blast!!!  Happy 1st Birthday, Lottie!!!
