My Prayers for You Sweet Carson......

Every day I pray for you to be happy, healthy & safe but there are many, many more prayers I want you to know too.

• That you always be the kindest person you can be (even when it is not easy).
• That you will be happy.....truly, truly happy.
• That you will not worry (please don't worry like your Mommy and Daddy tend to do, God's got this & will take care of it all:)
• That you will try to smile and laugh every single day.
• That you always see your full potential and know that you can do anything you want.
• That you have a great relationship w/your Daddy and I.....just the way that we have w/our parents. Oh, we know it will be rocky at times....but that in the end....they are your biggest fans and best friends.
• That you always appreciate and stay close to your family.
• That you surround yourself with great friends and that they appreciate you for exactly who you are.
• That you know just how very loved you are!!!

We love you to the moon and back Carson Clare!! You are such a joy and an absolute blessing to our lives.

That Was Fun......

We went to Macon this past weekend to celebrate Uncle Justin's birthday. Around the Hahn family going to hibachi is the thing to do for your birthday! It's always a good time and we eat until we need to be rolled out. This time was no different. There were ALOT in our party so we had 2 hibachi tables for the soiree. Unfortunately, I really didn't get any pics. to post.

We were a little nervous about how Carson was going to react to all of this. We have never taken her to a Japanese restaurant. When we got there we had to wait about 20 minutes. Carson loved this....she loved going and visiting with the family (some standing, some sitting on a bench, Daddy standing at the nearby bar:). She is very social most times. Or shall I say when she knows the majority of the people. (Hmm.....I guess that's how Daniel and I are too). The thing we were most apprehensive about was Carson seeing the fire. Quite honestly, it kind of freaks me out too! No matter how prepared I am for it....it always gets me! So yes....she did get a little upset but it helped for her to be in Aunt Kendra's lap:) All in all she did great to be in that crazy loud environment. (The waitstaff even gave Daddy their drum to play for Justin's Happy B-day song:)

When we got in the car to go home Carson said "That was fun." Glad she liked the Japanese restaurant....we are sure to have many more crazy hibachi celebrations!

Backtracking a bit.....4th of July

So for the 4th of July holiday we went down to Lake Blackshear to spend it w/our dear friends The Fitzgeralds. (I'll do a post on them some time:) Mandy and I have been friends for oh, let's see....forever and a day....and we all have such a good time together. So much fun that we have little girls similar in age. (I'm sure Daniel and Michael are secretly hoping Mandy or I will throw a boy in there at some point). We'll see about that:).....


Carson sure loves being at the lake. She loved all of the boats going by. She learned what a Sea-Do was and proceeded to call everything she saw in the lake a Sea-Do. (I think she liked saying that word). She got to feed some geese, went on a boat ride and the best part for her by far....eating homeade icecream. This child is truly mine when it comes to sweets....she loves them ALL....but particularly ice cream and cupcakes!!! Oh, dear....we are in trouble!

I'll Be 2 in September

So the last time Carson was in Macon with Daniel's parents they were teaching her to say "I'll be 2 in September". So cute! She doesn't always say it when you ask her how old she is but when she does it's precious.

Carson has been talking for what seems like before she was a year old.....We love it and love hearing the hilarious stuff that comes out of her mouth.

Here are a few others:

• "Pick you up" (She hasn't quite learned her pronouns yet)...She says this when she wants to be picked up by someone


• We seem to watch Rachel Ray every day after getting home from work/daycare. Carson will look up at the television and say "What she makin'?" She seems to be really interested so Daniel and I try to figure out what it is (if we didn't hear from the beginning) to tell her....Maybe she's a future chef:)


• One day out of nowhere she started saying "Husband".....We have no idea where she got this from.....If you ask her who her husband is she will say "Hudson". He is this adorable little boy in her class. Oh, my 22 months and already speaking of husbands.

She says so much more and I am amazed at how much she remembers and says back to us. Every day is full of surprises with Miss Carson Clare!

New to this......

So I have wanted to blog for quite sometime now. I love to read other people's blogs and it's a great thing to do if you don't have the patience to scrapbook:)

I really think it will be great for Carson to be able to look back, years later, for her to see what she was up to at each age and all of our wonderful adventures as a family....... So here we go.......
