Fun with Oma and Opa

These are just a bunch of random pictures. A couple of weeks ago we went to lunch with Grandma Zylstra and Aunt Madison to Carls Jr. There were no other people there so we let Carson play in the toys. He was loving it. Madison even took him down the slide, but neither one of them enjoyed that. It was a pretty crazy slide!

This is just a random picture of Carson showing us all of his teeth

Ok now these next two pictures are of Carson making his "Daddy Face." I will try to explain: Ryan always sticks out his bottom jaw. While he is watching T.V., thinking, reading...ALL the time. Well Carson started to make that face a while ago and now whenever we say make your daddy face this is what he does!

Carson enjoying his oranges!

On the 17th our ward had their Trunk or Treat. It was really fun to see all of the kids dressed up. Carson is a Cowboy this year. We really bought this costume because it was too funny not to. Carson would only wear it for like 10 minutes, but it was still really funny to see him in it. After the party we drove up to Santa Barbara to visit Ryan's grandparents. It was so fun to see them, and Carson REALLY liked them.

The next day in Santa Barbara we went to the beach with Ryan's grandma, or "Oma" as we call her. That is the dutch word for grandma. Anyways, Carson loved digging in the sand, but didn't like it when his hands got dirty.

Carson's new obsession is airplanes! This is Carson pointing at a plane that flew by.

Later that night we went to a pumpkin patch by their house. It was really fun. Carson loved to pull the wagon around. If you look in the corner of the wagon, you can see the little pumpkin he put in there.

Carson with his great-grandparents! We had such a great weekend with them. We wish they lived closer so we could see them more often!!!

Just Like Dad...

Ryan loves to take Carson outside with him while he works on the yard. So tonight I decided to take pictures of the two of them outside mowing our lawn! Carson loved to push his toy lawn mower around with Ryan! He has really started to copy a lot of what we do! If I am cleaning he loves to get his own rag and pretend that he is wiping up messes with me. And as you can tell he loves to mow the lawn with Dad!

We love that he is constantly wanting to learn and copy up, but as you can tell he gets tired of "his toys" and wants to play with "our toys!"

Way to help dad out Carson!


We also went to the fair with my parents about three weeks ago and I thought I would post a few pictures of that! First Carson LOVED the animals! It almost made me little nervous! He was a little too comfortable. He would pet them, and then hit them, and then try to pull their tails. You just never know how an animal is going to react to all of that abuse! Luckily they were great! We bought some food so he could feed them! It was really fun to watch him with the animals...

It was also really fun to watch his dad with them! They kept jumping up on Ryan because he had the food in his hand! As you can tell from the picture, it was not his favorite thing! We are not sure where Carson gets his love of animals, but as you can tell it is not from his parents!

Here is a picture of Carson with his grandparents! They were so much fun to go with! Carson really makes Grandpa Hatch laugh! We stopped at one point to listen to this band play and Carson couldn't get enough of them. I think he could have sat there all night and danced, and I think grandpa could have sat there all night and watched Carson dance! We had such a great time!

And this last picture is what Carson would look like as an ice-cream cone! As you can tell from his smile, he loved that it was small enough for him to do on his own!

Bring on the PINK!!!

Well on Wednesday we found out that we are having a GIRL!! We are so excited and can't wait to see what she looks like. Of course that day my mom and me had to go buy some pink! I couldn't help but remember the many times that I had stopped and looked at the little girl clothes, so jealous that I couldn't buy any of it...(at least not for myself!) So it was really fun to go in and finally have a reason to not only look, but to buy! Now all we have to do is try to think of a name! For some reason boy names are a lot easier for us to think of! So if you have any suggestions, please let us know!!!!

Fun in the Sun

Carson loves the water! Here are a few pictures of him playing in the outdoors! What a Ham!

I love this picture!

And this one!

Birthday Fun!!

Carson's birthday was on May 29th and we got to take him to the laker game that night. We had so much fun, and Grandma Zylstra bought him a Lakers jersey, that he looked adorable in. We even got on the big screen that night! It was really fun!!

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!

On June 3rd we found out that Carson is going to be a big brother in January. We are so excited. That morning my mom had come over to visit with me and I hadn't been feeling good all week. So after my mom left I decided to take a pregnancy test and it said that I was pregnant. I was so excited to tell Ryan. So Carson and I left to go meet him in La Verne. I decided to take him to dinner. We dropped Carson off at my parents house and on the way to eat I told him. He was so surprised. Then we went to Target and made the shirt that Carson wore to tell the families the big news. The Hatch family took a while to get it, but the Zylstras had Aunt Nancy there to help them figure it out. It was a really fun night and we are so excited to be parents again.

Basketball

Carson's new obsession is basketball. He LOVES it! Which you can imagine makes his father very happy! Ryan's family has a little basketball hoop at their house and he loves to make baskets, and he loves it even more when there is an audience that cheers for him. His birthday is in a couple weeks so we will have to invest in one for our house. He is walking around so much now. I can't believe that he is going to be one!! It goes so fast!
