Candy

Our little Carson bug LOVES his sweets! Easter was awesome, each egg Carson found he promptly opened and at e the candy!

The Green Belt

Brady is now a GREEN belt in Karate! He was awesome at his belt promotion, we couldn't be prouder!

Obi Wan Ben Kenobi

I have been really bad about putting up new posts but I couldn't get off the computer today with out a mention of our new dog, Kenobi! Kenobi entered our lives right after Thanksgiving. Believe me our lives have not been the same since.

Snow Days!

Our kids first trip to the snow was a great success! Brady was diving, rolling, and jumping all over the place! Carson was in awe and eating the fresh frozen treat! It wouldn't have been the same without our friends the Ditusas and their wonderful family!

Halloween

As most can tell, in our house we just love costumes and dressing up! So after long thought and a few fits we have decided to on Storm Trooper from Star wars and the Brave lion! We do have a skunk to fall back on depending on the mood of the littlest Clemens that day.

Harvest time

We attended the Elk Grove Harvest festival last weekend. Our Little Pumpkin Carson just loved picking out pumpkins, he carried them all around the patch. Brady just wanted the perfect, big pumpkin. They both left HAPPY!

Gold Belt

Brady has taken up Karate, and just loves it. We had to turn in a paper before our Gold Belt promotion, and one of the parts was for Brady to fill out about what he likes about Karate.

"I love that my best buddies are in my class." "I really like that the floors are super soft." "I like the names of my teachers."

So sweet. Brady has been doing a great job and earned his Gold Belt on Thursday, we couldn't be prouder.

we're back

I know we haven't blogged in a long while but we are back, mostly because I am off track!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best 3 Dads I know! 

First Day of School

Brady and Carson both started their new classes at Merryhill School on Tuesday. Brady, my sensitive soul had a great day from the minute he walked into the class. He brought his new teacher flowers and was ready to be the head of the class. Which as many of you know and understand this great transition was a FIRST for Brady. Carson shed a few tears but his awesome teacher scooped him up and had him in good spirits in no time. It also really helped that a bunch of his classmates from the Toddler room moved up with him and his best buddy Braden has also joined the class.  

Our Trip to Vegas

After a 9 hour car drive we landed in Vegas happy and tired! We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends. Carson celebrated more birthday fun and Brady fell in love with the dog Patrick Henry all over again. My mom was truly surprised when all of her Fabulous sisters showed up to celebrate her 60th birthday! We took a trip over to the aquarium and just loved the SHARKS! All and all the trip was a great success, however the drive home was more tiring than the drive there! 

our garden

We have been enjoying our summer garden! We have had carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, different tomatoes! We are still waiting on the green beans, cantaloupe, a sun flower, and the strawberries!  

River Cats

Last weekend we attended the River Cats baseball game! Omi and Grandpa were along for the adventure as well. Everyone had a wonderful time. I don't think I saw one play of the game, so good for me. Brady played in the kids zone and was even give a "REAL" baseball from the opposing team (Las Vegas 51's) warming up! Carson just loved having Omi carry him around the entire game, Omi loved that part too! After a very hot game full of fun we headed home with two sleeping boys! 

first hair cut

Carson, about to turn TWO! got his very first hair cut on Thursday! We went to the very kid friendly and very overpriced, Cool Cuts for Kids. Carson sat in a fire truck, watching Nemo, and played shakers! He did a great job, maybe we can do without all of the bells and whistles next time. 

Soccer with ATTITUDE

We had our very first soccer game on Saturday. It didn't go exactly as planned. Brady was called in as one of the first players! Once out of the game he did not want to go back in. This shocked us, we are used to Brady's famous comments like..."I was faster than you." "I can kick the best." "I'm better than you." He looked really cute in his soccer jersey! 

Carson gets wet

the following clips speak for themselves

Warm weather is here

The Zoo

While Grammie was here we decided to take a family trip to the zoo! Of course all the animals were on their best behavior and our little ones were acting like animals. 

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. The weather was nice and Grammie came to visit. From making a bunny hutch to finding eggs, Easter was all it's cracked up to be! 

naughty, naughty, naughty

Our adorable little Carson has a BAD streak. Yesterday when I got home from work I went to sit at the dinning room table and noticed some green marker all over the chair. I quickly got up to examine the rest of the chairs and yes all 6 were covered in green dry erase marker!  I was in such disbelief I didn't snap a photo. Carson fully admitted his wrong doing by walking in the kitchen saying, "oh no." When I ask Carson, "who did this?" he says "I", with the biggest smile you have ever seen. By saying I don't have a picture for evidence, yes it washed right up !
