Happy Birthday Jenna!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jenna! Jen's party was at Nan's house this year! Her favorite thing to do right now is ride horses so that's what we did for her party. We had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came out!

Buddyman

Jenna has given Carson a nickname; Buddyman. Right before Carson was born we started trying to get her to say his name. She couldn't and she started calling him CJ. That only stuck for a couple of weeks because she was the only one calling him that. She now calls him Harson because she can't say hard Cs. But we would talk to him so sweetly and say Hey Buddy! Hey Little Man! Jenna decided to put them together and call him Buddyman. If anyone asks his name, that's what she says. If we call him Buddy...she corrects us and says Buddyman. I think it is so cute!

So here is our Buddyman at 4 months old! And of course Jen at 4 months old too! Whatcha think? Do they look alike?

Back yard

We got Jenna's pool out for the first time since we have moved into Mom and Dad's house. Dad set it up on the patio. Jenna loved it. She roamed around the back yard and got in and out of the pool 100 times. She loves it. I'm not sure so sure I am ready for summer to end.

Anderson Kids and Edgeworth Kids

I love it when we get our kids together. Brant is 7 months older than Jenna and Carson is 9 days older than Ben.

First of all, Jenna LOVES babies. She is a little mommy. She loves to hold Baby Ben every time
we see him. He's not used to it because Brant is not as interested in him but he is such a great sport at it. She kisses him over and over!

Brant and Jenna play together...a little. They are at the age where they play with the same toys in the same room but not so much with each other. At Grandmother's this week they saw a cat outside in the yard and shared a chair to look at it. This is such a funny picture because this is how they are a lot. Jenna wants to hug Brant and Brant lets her but pulls away just enough to not have to touch her very much.

And then of course we love to measure Carson and Ben. Carson is HUGE! We hadn't compared them in a while but I knew Carson had gained so much weight in the last few weeks! (I can't wait for Matt to see him next week!) So here they are! (Carson is in the Orange and Ben is in the stripes) Almost 4 months old! :)

Eating from a spoon!

I let Carson eat rice cereal from a spoon for the first time today. It's a little early but I feel like he's been interested in us when we are eating so I decided to give it a try.
He did ok for his first time!
Jenna was very concerned because she knows that Carson can only have a bottle. Papa likes to tease her about giving Carson greenbeans but she is quick to correct him that he can ONLY have a bottle. So today Jenna was all over me wanting to see what Carson was doing. So I let her try the "baby food." She gagged! So maybe she will leave it alone now!
I am so anxious to see how he does with food. Jenna will eat anything and everything..no joke. The only thing that she doesn't love is eggs. So I wanna know if he was be the same as his big sister or be a picky either. I really hope he's like Jenna but if not, we'll figure out what he likes and go with it!

Zoo!

I took Jenna and Carson to their first visit to the zoo! Josh and Sheri went with us! And I forgot my camera!! UGH!
We went to the Chattanooga Zoo. It isn't great but on Wednesdays its only $1 for everyone over 2
years old. So for all 3 of us it was only $1!
Sheri did take a picture of Josh and Jenna with Hank the Chimp on her phone.
This is the only picture I have from the zoo. I want to take them to the Knoxville Zoo some time soon. I WON'T forget my camera then.
Jenna is an animal lover so of course she loved it anyway. Carson stayed awake most of the time and seemed to enjoy himself as well.
We met Aunt Pam for lunch afterwards and then came home for a nap!

3 months!

I totally forgot to take Carson's 3 month pictures!!! It was the same day as the Farewell Ceremony for the 252nd and then the next day was the Send Off so it completely slipped my mind until today! So a little over a week late here is little Carson in his 3 month pictures! And below is Jenna at 3 months...I love comparing them! :)

Playdate with the Campbell Boys!

Lindsey kept 3 of the Campbell boys on Monday so we met them at Tinsley Park to eat lunch outside and play. They all had a blast! I was so happy to see them because it has been months. I miss those guys! I couldn't believe how much the twins were talking!! I got out of the car and the first thing Graham said to me was, Amber! Brett threw rocks at me! I just stared at him and then said what?!? I couldn't believe how big he sounded! They got to meet Carson. They liked him..for a minute and then remembered the park was waiting on them! Jenna had fun times with her boys!
These are my favorite pictures of the day. Jenna wanted hugs and kisses from all the boys! The twins didn't mind it. They even made a Jenna sandwich! (Jenna told them no no when it was over) Brett would only give her a hug. She tried hard for a kiss but he looked at me like it ain't happenin!
