Maci's Birthday and Bouncing

My neice Maci had a bounce house for her birthday party in October. (I know I know I am still way behind and working on catching up!) Carsen didn't quite understand how to really jump around in the bounce house, but he loved walking around in it and playing with Keith, Maci, Brinsen, Korbin, and Tyler! Happy Birthday Maci! Thanks for letting us come play, we love you!

Carsen loves Maci so much!! He asks for her every day. He loves to look at her pictures! We had Maci come stay with us for a few days when she had a break from school and we LOVED having her here!!! Carsen was so entertained and would follow her around like a puppy dog. He laughs at everything she does and wants to do just what she is doing! He calls her "bayci" and it is so cute!!
Thanks for coming to play with us and always being so sweet to Carsen!

Stuck

Carsen's new favorite word is "Stuck!" He uses it for about everything tha is off or not where he wants it! A little while ago I was doing dishes and I hear "stuck....stuck.....stuck!!" I turned around and this is what I saw.....

I must be a terrible mom because I grabbed the camera instead of getting him out of the chair first. poor boy, but it was just so funny.... even if he didn't think so after a few pictures :( I just couldn't help it!

The Swing

For everyone who knows Carsen very well, you know that he LOVES to swing, so my parents got him a swing for his birthday, but unfortunately at our place all the trees are too wimpy to hold it up and we couldn't put up anything permanent because of renting. (only 11 more months!!!! yay!) So my sweet mom and dad realized that they had an extra porch swing bar stand that they weren't using when they got a new one and decided to try the swing on it to see if it would work.
Well........... It works GREAT!! We love it! It is so nice having a swing at our house. Carsen and I spent a lot of nice summer days out swingin'!! We can't wait to use it again when it warms up!

Thanks so much Ma-Ma and Bop-pa!! You are so good to us!! We love you

P.S. This swing is also known as "The Baby Launcher" not because it has ever launched a baby, but because when my brother saw the swing he sweetly named it that because it looks a little like a sling shot for babies :) ha ha

We love it regardless of what it looks like! It serves the purpose :)
