D-Backs



Carsten was so excited to have a date with his dad last night and they went to the d-backs game. Of course he had to come home with jersey and wore it to school today. He told me last night that he missed me while he was at the game. Ahh, sweet boy.

Memorable Moment

At Carsten's preschool they give the parent a daily report of what the child did that day and also include a memorable moment. Well, yesterday Carsten told his teacher, Ms. Mandee, that he loves his daddy so much and his daddy gives big hugs. Well, mom's mention was that she sometimes plays spiders with Carsten.

Ahh, the life of the mom. We do all the grunt work and daddy gets all the glory. Oh well, I know how crazy Carsten is about his dad. They have a sweet relationship and dad is much more fun than mom.

Growing Up Way Too Fast!




Carsten was wearing what he likes to call his "golf shirt" today, which he loves his golf shirts. He recently got a haircut and I always feel like he looks so much older when he gets a haircut, it makes me sad. When I was driving him to school today he told me "when I get bigger and older I am going to ride on a school bus and you can ride behind me in your car." Huh? Um, no, you will stay with mommy forever. I told him I liked riding with him to school and he told me "sorry, maybe there is room on the school bus for you." Seriously, I love our little conversations, he is so sweet.

How Cute is This?



Carsten is working on "My Family" this week at school and he created a picture of his mommy today. Melt my heart, how cute is this picture?

Minnesota

We had a great time in Minnesota and it was so nice to see all the cousins and family, but it gets busy. Carsten delighted in the fact he was able to go fishing on Big Sand and loved being able to catch fish everytime his line went in the water thanks to Alex. Carsten and I have it down now traveling to everyone's house every 48 hours....thank goodness he is a trooper because he makes it a lot easier. I am not sure how it will work next year with another one traveling all the time, but I am sure I will figure it out. Also, we were able to visit the Historic Courthouse in Stillwater, MN where Mitch and I got married 7 years ago on July 16. That was nice to be able to go back on our anniversary and show Carsten although he cared more about running around with Hayley and Nyah, but oh well.












































































































First Day of School!



He was so excited to be with all his buddies again. My sweet little pre-schooler.

Happy Day!



He is so excited to have his firefighter hat and was riding in his jammies on his bike this morning. Yes, in Arizona in the summer we ride bikes in the house - don't judge.
