The Zoo

Today we went to the zoo. We like going a lot. Now that I have video... here is a clip of him at his favorite exhibit. The wolf exhibit, loves the fishes.

Carson went for his 18 month check up at the doctors today. My baby is growing up so fast! He is a blast these days and I am lovin' every minute, expect when he wants something and he can't communicate it to me, but other than that, Perfect.

He really is my pride and joy :)

Blueberry mess

I am putting away dishes and turnaround to see Carson has created a mess. Plus I wanted to play with my new toy. Thanks Mom.

Kindness of strangers...

As many of you know I drink Chai tea beverages from Starbucks almost everyday. This morning being Monday and all I had a hard time leaving the house, with the kid clinging onto me and Ryan not feeling well, I left the house in disarray. When I was at the counter at Starbucks I noticed my wallet was not in my purse, sadly I told the cashier that I don't have my wallet, and as I started to walk away...a gentleman behind me placed $5 onto counter for my drink. I tried to give it back to him but he insisted.

I don't know what to say. I was so grateful. Needless to say, my Monday took a 180 after my Starbucks visit. Thanks stranger, you made my day. 

Great Weekend!

I am so happy, another great weekend with family and friends. Even with Carson under the weather we managed to go to the zoo and have people over to eat on our new deck. I am very :)

a cool kind of nothing

Ryan's brother came with us to the lake for the 1st time and he had a great time...I think. It is impossible not to have a good time. There were a lot of good quotes said that weekend but my favorite is: Courtney- Brandon are you have fun doing nothing at all? Brandon- well it's more than just nothing...is a cool kind of nothing. LOVE IT.

Other great quotes:

You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning (oldie but still good)

No twist offs for Dick

To the Moon!

Buy me a beer

warmer up the lake (you don't want to know)

and many more. Hope you enjoy all the photos. Between Fitz and I I think there were 278 photos taken in 4 days. These are just a few.

where the action is...

Along with relaxing comes some adventure. I partook in some kayaking. I must say I really enjoyed it, but my travel friend (SUZANNE) wanted to go all the way to the BIG house. I just couldn't, I still have blisters on my hands and that was Friday! Anyway I will do it again...with her too :) Anyways...here is Ryan and friend skiing.

The Townsends...

Every year for the 4th of July we travel north to Michigan (where the best football team is) to Grass lake for some relaxing, boating, drinking and sunning. Ah...why does it have to end?

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

I wanted to share some photos of the 2 days of amazing fireworks we saw at the lake.
