Interview with Carson. August 25, 2009. 3 years, 11 months and 2 days old.

Just for fun I decided to interview Carson as I did this for a project with my little cousin who was then 4 years old for a college class. A few years later, i found this project and had a good time reading the interview between her and I. I type the exact words they use/say and their actions(i.e. shrugs shoulder, smile, get embarrassed, etc.)

ME: How do you spell your name?
Carson: C-A-R-S... or O-N
ME: spell it again.
Carson: C-A-R-O-N, that's my name.

ME: What is your full name?
Carson: Carson...Jett...Tyler...Doak

ME: What is your sister's name?
Carson: Kylie Luanne Doak. What's Daddy's whole name? I didn't answer him as I'm writing his answer down. Mommy, what's Daddy's whole name?

ME: What is your parents name?
Carson: Smiles, shrugs shoulders. I don't know. I don't know, Mommy.

ME: Do you know what color your shirt is?
Carson: Looks at shirt. Just like I was wearing when I was a baby. Gets up and points to the picture of himself on my blog(note, its the last picture from the previous post, taken in July 2009, NOT when he was a baby :)). I'm a big boy now and wearing this shirt. I'm writing down his answer and there is a pause from him. My shirt is grey, just like Greg on the Wiggles!

ME: Whats your favorite color?
Carson: Uh.. Red!

ME: Whats your favorite game?
Carson: Uh. Mickey Mouse matching game (note, this is the game we were playing while I was interviewing him.)

ME: Whats your favorite show?
Carson: Uh. clears throat. Diego.
ME: Diego is your favorite show?
Carson: nods head. Diego is my FAVORITE show.

ME: How old are you?
Carson: Freee

ME: I had fun interviewing you. Thank you for letting me interview you.
Carson: looks at my paper. Mommy, I can draw. I continue to write his answer down. What are you spelling? Mommy, I want to draw. I give him the pen and notebook and he proceeds to draw a smiley face of me, kylie, daddy and himself.

real quick...

i thought i'd post a blog real quick before hitting the shower and bed.. Everything is going well here.. House is on the market now!! Still only 2 showings so far.. :S Hopefully soon a buyer will come around, but timing is everything.. Alex is still busy getting estimates for our possible future home, but we don't know what is going to happen, so its best for me to not get too excited about it til the bank says YES, we CAN do it.. :)

Pregnancy is going well. Hit 19.. NINETEEN weeks already! I've started to feel movements around 18 weeks.. Just the small flutters, not them big punch/kicks yet.. :)

We've been back to using cloth diapers for Kylie.. She has not had a disposable diaper on her for about a week or so. I'm loving the cheeky diapers(www.cheekydiapers.com) with the prefolds that I've put together for the diapers. Best cloth diapers we've experienced so far...
no leaks, no wicking out= one happy mom!

Heres a few fun pictures to wrap up this post.. Enjoy!

Kylie's "cheese" smile for the camera

told Carson to put a shirt on, he ends up with Kylie's shirt.. I laughed and had to get the camera, he realized this, and decided to hide from me, under the computer desk..









he IS all there.. i promise!! ;)

Kylie's first year....

Bet you didn't see that coming!! We didn't either! :) Surprise!!

Its hard to believe Kylie is ONE now, the year went by fast! It doesn't feel that long ago when I heard her first cry, when I saw her face for the first time and she going to be a big sister in January, already!

(Kept messing up on me when trying to subtitle the pictures but its from the day she was born, each month til she she turned one... Enjoy!!)

I'm here....

Hello readers,
Can you see I haven't blogged in a while? Miss Kylie turns ONE in 3 more days, I'm already feeling it.. :(

We are having a party for her so I'll be busy working on that the next few days but I'll post pictures of that so be back on Sunday? Monday? Tuesday? Whenever I get to it, I promise I wont leave you hanging too long....

So yea, just a message for ya all that I'll be back again soon! After Sunday for sure.. :)

10 months old..

Can you believe Kylie is 10 months old already!? Time didnt seem to go by this fast with just Carson but its sure going by fast now! He's gonna be FOUR in Sept. This is too scary already. :( Next year will be t-ball season for him. oh.my. I cant wait!

Kylie started making a new face on her 10th month birthday.. Its funny and cute at the same time.

(Doesn't she look like a Doak in these pictures.. She sure reminds me of her older(by 9 months) cousin, L. )

I wish I had some good pics of Carson to put on here but I don't, he sure doesn't like taking pics so he gives me weird looks for the camera or turns away which gets the profile view or the back of him.. Stubborn boy.. :) Hopefully soon pictures of him will be up.. For now, the picture of him on the right side bar will have to do for now!

Look!!

I've realized a few things after watching this video..

1. I know, its a mess behind me.. Clothes overflowing around the closet area, clothes that don't even fit the kids anymore.. I just haven't got to it yet.. So please ignore it.. :) I'm slightly embarrassed by it, but which is more important? Catching my daughters first steps on camera or clean that mess up for the camera? Yeah, that's what i thought.. ;)

2. Kylie has the phone antenna in her mouth and can jab it in her mouth/throat when she falls.. I DO know better than that, I just didn't realize she had it in her mouth at the moment.. This is what happens when you get too overwhelmed with BOTH kids at the same time.. If you didn't notice, watch the video again..

whats new?

Hi all! here and there I'll be in the mood to write but do other things instead. Its usually about random stuff, like the other day i wanted to blog about the Duggar family.. about how i just love that family(I secretly want to be like that family but I don't think I will end up with THAT many kids), love their values(except the skirt thing).. I'm so excited for Josh(first born) and his wife Anna, who is expecting their first child.. Makes me wonder there will be baby #19 while they are already grandparents.. see, told ya, just random blogs! :)

I've started to read again!! :D Thanks to Kindle on the Ipod touch! I'm really enjoying it! When I was in school and college, you wouldn't see me reading for enjoyment so this is a big change for me... I'm currently reading.. Rattled!:A Memoir I'm almost done with that book and then moving back on the book that Alex bought for me when he was out on a business trip for the day.. I'll Scream Later by Marlee Matlin, a deaf actress. I have soo many books I cant wait to read!

Been a while since I've talked about my kids... Carson keeps getting smarter and smarter and talking more and more.. Sometimes I wonder if he's ever going to be quiet, especially in the car while I'm driving!
He asked me a few times...(when he sees a pregnant woman) "Mommy, how does the baby get in her belly?"
Me.."From the daddy"
Carson: "Where's daddy?"

Thinking..Yikes! You're only 3 1/2 years old, you're not supposed to be asking about that... YET..

Look whos gonna be walking soon!! Where did the time go!?
