Showering Carson with MORE Love!

Aunt Katie and Grandma Jo Jo hosted a shower for Baby Carson and me on November 29th. They made the shower very special and tons of fun!!! Thank you both SO MUCH!!!!

Mommy and Grandma Sheryl...Baby Carson is making mommy look pretty "snowman like" these days!!!


Adorable Monkey CUPCAKE cake


Guess the poopie diaper?!?! Great GAME. For those of you that have never played, the host melts different types of candy bars (ie. Reese Cup, Milky Way, Baby Ruth, Twix) and places the candy bar in the diaper. The diapers are labeled and you have to guess which "poopie" is which candy bar. SUCH A HOOT!!!
The centerpiece is a cake made by Grandma Sheryl....She is so DANG creative!



Mommy and Great Grandma Burgheim...Mommy was very glad she made the trip to Louisville. Baby Carson is going to be the FIRST GREAT Grandchild on the Burgheim side! So exciting!!!



Great Grandma Burgheim, Great Grandma Carrico, Mommy, Grandma Sheryl, Great Grandma White, and Grandma Jo Jo......AWESOME PICTURE!!! Love you all!!!



Great Grandma White gave Baby Carson two handmade quilts....Beautiful!



Great Grandma Carrico gave Baby Carson a Christening Hat. There is a tradition with this hat. If you have a boy, when he grows up and gets married he gives it to his bride. She can pin it under her dress for something "old" or she can use it as her hanky for the day. I pinned Daddy Travis' hat under my dress when we got married!!! Very special gift....Made Mommy get teary.....



Mommy and Terri Lynn....Baby Carson and Baby Thomas were both moving when this picture was snapped...They can't wait to meet each other!!!



Yummy, yummy, yummy...Cheesecake!

Thanksgiving blessings

Sometimes we get tied up with our daily lives and its easy to forget to give thanks for everything we have been given. Thanksgiving is the time to feel gratitude to God for all the good things in life. Travis and I are so thankful for our wonderful families who love us unconditionally, our amazing friends who are there for us always, and especially for our baby boy, Carson Michael, who will be entering this world very soon!!! We are truly blessed!!!
This year we spent Thanksgiving in Lebanon and Louisville. It was great to see all of Travis' extended family, since we only get to see them a few times a year. It was nice to catch up and spend quality time with all of the family.

Daddy Travis and Uncle Curt couldn't keep their hands off of Mommy's belly. Baby Carson was very active during Thanksgiving. Maybe Mommy ate too much??? Oops!


Grandma White couldn't get over how big Mommy's belly had grown!!!


Granddaddy Parker, Uncle Curt, Grandma Jo Jo, Mommy, and Daddy...
Aunt Katie had to work. We missed her!!!


Great Grandma "Mem-maw", Mommy, and Daddy....
Mommy wanted to be cuddled under the blanket with her after eating way too much for Thanksgiving!!!! I was STUFFED. I look STUFFED, too! Daddy had to hold my hand, so I didn't smash Memmaw with my belly! :o)

Maternity Pictures

We had Maternity Pictures taken by April from "Bluebird Photography" (back in early November...approx. 28 wks). April was also our wedding photographer. We have continued to keep in contact and we wanted her to capture another wonderful chapter in our lives. She did an amazing job.

Check out some of our favorites....

Showering Carson with Love!

On November 21st, my amazing friends hosted a Baby Shower for Carson and me. Sara, Molly, Jamie, and Casey, THANK YOU! We all had a great time and I was showered with so many wonderful gifts from my family and friends. Love you all!!!

Here are some pics from the shower...Molly, Casey, (Little Mason Man), Sara, Jamie, and me.


Aunt Kate Kate and me...She is already spoiling Carson like crazy!!!!


Tears...tears..and more tears....
Grandma Sheryl made Carson a book of poems. The book is called "Grandma B's book of Crazy Poems". Every week since the first week I told my mom I was expecting, she has wrote a POEM. As most of you know, there is a website called "the bump. com" and to make it easier for mommy-to-be's, they compare each week in your pregnancy to the size of a fruit or veggie. Well, Grandma Sheryl decided to write a poem for every week based on what the website said the baby resembles each week. For example, did you know at week 11 your baby is the size of a LIME??? :o) I will treasure this gift forever and I can't wait to start reading the poems to Carson! Thank you, momma!


Aunt Vickie, Aunt Connie, Mom, Cousin Ashley, me, and Cousin Susan...Great Family Picture!


All of my girls! Thank you for making the day so special!! XOXO
