My beautiful baby girl eating her cake and enjoying it!!

Happy 5th Birthday Karson!!! I can't believe that he is 5 already...how time flies. We celebrated his birthday with family...we actually had a new member added to the family on his birthday. My brother and his wife had a baby boy on the 28th. Karson was pretty excited that he was going to share his birthday with his cousin. My parents came up for the weekend and painted the "Hawkeye" basement to a more neutral color. We are working on putting the house on the market. After painting we enjoyed time outside with Karson, Kamryn and Avery. Karson received lots of Star Wars things...that seems to be the big thing right now.
Every evening it is like sandlot at our house. We have at least 6-7 boys that like to run the neighborhood (and mine is included). They love to play sports, squirt guns and Star Wars. It is so fun watching him grow up. He is a lovely boy who makes friends very easily.

Hello out there. Sorry it has been months since my last updated blog. I hadn't realized that it had been that long...boy does time fly. Anyways, the Lindsay family is doing great. We are eagerly awaiting warmer weather with everyone else that lives in the Mid-West. I can't wait to hit the parks with the kids. We did attempt to take a walk/bike ride a couple of days ago. It ended with Karson getting too much snow on his tires and falling into a puddle that was near by. Karson blamed me for the act the entire walk home and believe me it was a long walk!!!
Karson is doing great in school. Kerry and I just had his spring conference this past week. His teacher had all great things to say about him! Of course why wouldn't they? He is such a delightful little boy. Karson is really getting excited about summer. He just found out that he gets to play real Tee-ball this summer...with uniforms and all. I can't wait to watch him at the plate. He is such a little sports fanitic! His only concern is that he is afraid he will have to be on the Cubs team and he wants to be on the Cardinals. I told him that we don't know what types of teams they are going to have this year. Boys are just too funny sometimes.
Kamryn is also doing well. Kerry and I keep saying that we don't think she has grown since last summer. I know that is not true but she just seems to stay the same size. She is such a little peanut (still wearing size 18 months). She is quite the little talker and can sing entire songs. Her new favorites are "Old McDonald" and "Twinkle Twinkle." She is such an amazing little girl with such a sweet spirit.
Kerry and I are doing well. Kerry is keeping extremely busy at his new job in Mankato. He seems to enjoy the challenge. And as for myself I am keeping busy with the kids and dog, attending ECFE and doing a bible study. As for the bigger news we are looking to put our home on the market next month. Kerry and I are both tired of the communting. It is just time to move to where his job is located. It will be a hard move as I have friends here that are like my family, but I know that I won't be too far away. Other than that we are all doing very well. I will try to do a better job of keeping up with this blog. (Michelle, I am always amazed at how often you blog....I love it). Take care and God Bless

I just came upon this picture. I absolutely love this picture of Karson. It is one of my favorites.

The entire family painting at The Painted Peguin. Karson painted Snoppy and Kamryn painted an Easter Bunny. The kids had a great time.

Kamryn riding Pilchard. Of course she has to climb on everything because that is what Kamryn does!!!!

Karson with cousin Avery in Scoop at the Children's Museum.

Karson getting ready to watch the 3-d movie at the IMAX. He was just too funny. Throughout the movie he would try to grab the animals that were coming towards him. It was a good laugh!

Karson at the FineHearts Festival. As you can see he did not want to participate. The poor thing did not want to sing in front of 100 people and I really can't blame him.

Kamryn eating with her twin doll at the American Doll Store Resturant. It was just too cute.

Karson skating with a friend. He does have skates but since it was just me with the two of them I didn't want to have Karson on skates and have to watch Kamryn as well. I keep telling him that we will get down there before winter is over. Hockey is a big thing here in Minnesota. Kerry and I are trying with all of our might to not have him join...for multiple reasons.

Kamryn enjoying the ice skating (no skate just boots). However, mom wasn't as excited. You have to constantly watch her afterall the poor thing has had two casts in the last six months.

We had a good Christmas. We stayed at home this year. Karson was so excited about Santa coming! We got up Christmas morning to open presents from Santa. Kamryn had not been feeling well the days (2) before Christmas (flu) and she woke up Christmas day feeling terrible. The poor thing. She cried all day and wouldn't let me put her down, not even to her daddy. I think that I finally got a shower at about 4:30 in the afternoon. Karson had a terrfic day. He had all kinds of one-on-one time with his daddy! We did get a chance to play a few family games in the late afternoon. Karson got to decorate a birthday cake for Jesus in the afternoon. He had a great time doing all of the frosting. I will try to post some of the pictures that he took with his new digital camera...I can't quite figure out where those pictures have went yet. It was a wonderful day spent as a family (besides Kamryn feeling ill)!

Karson with his new digital camera. He loves it! He takes pictures and videos all the time and then we have to watch them on the t.v. at the end of the day.

Karson with his gift that he made mom and dad. He made it at preschool and was so proud of it! I love receiving those kinds of gifts for I know that it won't be long and those types of projects will no longer come home.

Mommy signing Kamryn's cast. She is doing extremely well with the cast. The only thing she gets frustrated with is the sippy cups that have two handles. She can't get ahold of the left handle and it make her mad. It is funny that it is the little things that make her mad and not the fact that she has to carry that heavy thing around everywhere!

Boy has it been awhile since I last updated. I feel as if life is just passing me by at ultra-fast speed (if that makes any sense). I love the holidays, but I just feel way too much pressure this time of year and I know that I shouldn't feel that way. (But like most moms I do).
Anyways here is the update: We spent our Thanksgiving weekend with my dad and grandma. My grandma had never been up here. It was such a joy to spend time with two of them. Last weekend was spent at the Holiday Open House and with Karson coming down with the stomach flu for two days...what a joy that was. Monday of this week was spent at home watching movies as Karson was recovering and Tuesday was a snow day!!! The kids and I headed outside later in the afternoon once the sun came out. I made large hill for Karson to slide down and Kamryn just enjoyed being pulled around in her sled. It was nice to get outside after being cooped up for a few days. What a little fresh air and sunshine will do for the soul!

The kids and I visiting with Santa while at the ECFE Holiday Open House. Yes, poor Kamryn wouldn't leave my hip for a second, which I don't blame her one bit! Karson was actually excited to see Santa this year. He told him that he wanted a Hot Wheel Set which I was unaware that he wanted that. It was a delightful time and both Kamryn and Karson enjoyed themselves.
