Another year around the sun and our daughter is now 6! Our quirky, sassy, lovable little lady still gives great hugs and is honing her sense of humor. She's as active as ever; still loving soccer and has taken up jazz/hip hop dance. Carsyn has grown 3.5 inches this year and the personality to boot. We are so proud of you baby girl, MWAH! <span style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">πππππ</span></div>
<br />
This year Carsyn choose unicorns and rainbows as her theme. She wanted to have it at Chuck E Cheese's, but last min were able to convince her to have a roller skating party! I began my search on Pinterest for ideas. Thankfully I already knew how to make a unicorn cake as it's very similar to her my little pony cake from last year. The majority of the items I found decor and goodie bag items online form Oriental Trading Co & Amazon and the balloons came from Party City.<br />

For the Unicorn cake my daughter wanted pink cake, so we found strawberry cake mixes for the 3 layers and paired with with vanilla frosting. The unicorn horn and eyelashes I ordered off Amazon as a kit. For the rainbow hair I just found pre-made colored frosting in baggies and used that to pipe onto the top of the cake. VoilΓ ! For the cupcakes we used vanilla cake mix with vanilla frosting. I bought unicorn & rainbow cupcake rings off Amazon and rainbow gummy strips from the grocery store. This was probably the easiest I've had it when making my kids birthday cakes! The birthday girl LOVED it. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 20px;">π¦ </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">π</span></div>

I even made sure the birthday girl was decked out with a rainbow skating unicorn shirt (Amazon), unicorn rainbow head band (which I found at Good Will, brand new for Halloween), and rainbow colored hair braid extensions attached to a hair-tie (CVS endcap find).

This year Carsyn couldn't wait to open her gifts at home, so we opened them at the venue and followed that up with a little more roller skating. Carsyn had a blast with her friends and was thrilled with all her presents. We truly appreciate all our friends and family that were able to join us and celebrate Carsyn's 6th birthday! </div>

In fact now I really only have time to write about milestones and big updates like birthdays, etc. Life is just flying by so quickly!<br />
<br />
Carsyn has had a couple of 1st this year!!<br />
<br />
She lost her very first tooth in July at 5.5 years old!! She was SUPER excited to finally receive some money from the tooth fairy.<br />

Then in August, right before school was to start, she finally asked to learn how to ride her bike. We'd been trying to get her to try it ALL summer and she refused. She asked for some knee and elbow pads and was ready to tackle the bike. Once Malek started working with her, she had it down by her 3rd or 4th day of practicing. Now we need to upgrade her to a bigger bike! Guess it's a good thing her birthday is in Oct, now we know what to get her. :) Though that would make for a good Christmas gift as well....<br />

Hard to believe he turns 8 in just a couple more days!!! To date he's lost 6 teeth (oh my!), is in the 2nd grade making As & Bs and loves playing sports (except for baseball). Ryland is funny, sweet, quick, smart, bright-eyed and full of smiles! He will still cuddle but has nixed giving kisses. π He likes to tease and loves to read his Dogman and Captain Underpants books. If he's not playing sports (mostly football and soccer) then he's hanging with friends and setting up as many sleepovers as he can. He even tried his had at mutton bustin this year at the ATX rodeo and LOVED it. Too bad we were only able to fit it in once as he has now hit the weight and age limit for the sheep. π We are so proud of our sweet, sensitive little man. LOVE YOU! ππππ<br />

This year we celebrated Ry's birthday at <a href="https://altituderoundrock.com/" target="_blank">Altitude Trampoline park</a>. This place was awesome! The facility had tons of foam pits, climbing walls, obstacle courses, jousting balance beam, a dodge ball arena and so much more! Plus they serve Double Daves pizza which we LOVE. They handled all the setup and provided plates/napkins/utensils and a hostess. All we had to bring in were the party favors and the cake!<br />

Every birthday I make their cakes and cupcakes based on a theme they pick. This year Ryland really wanted Dogman or Captain Underpants for his cake...I just couldn't bring myself to making an underwear cake, thankfully when I mentioned his love for Pikachu he quickly changed his mind and wanted PokΓ©mon! Now that I could do! I began my search on pinterest for ideas. We settled on a pikachu double layer round cake and pokeball cupcakes! Easy peasy. I used oreos for pikachu's eyes and yellow poster board for the ears. The small white dots on the cupcakes are upside down candy eyeballs, the red half of the cupcakes are sugar crystals. I was ecstatic with how the cake turned out. All the kids at the jump place would excitedly run up to look at the cake, it was a hit!<br />

We waited until we arrived at home to open all the presents. π Ry received some awesome gifts and started playing with them immediately. The big winner was the Fortnite nurf gun and RadRobot. We will give him our gifts on his actual birthday in a couple days, we had to have his party early to avoid Easter weekend. I think he will love the giant nurf gun and new helmet and goggles for his dirt bike.<br />

Our little girl has grown so much in the past year! In fact she's no longer little, she's grown 3 inches since her last birthday! Happy 5th birthday to our darling daughter, Carsyn. You continue to amaze us with your loving personality, awesome hugs, sweet kisses and quirky sense of humor. You're starting to find your love of sports (soccer), dislike of <span style="background-color: white;">cheer-leading</span>, and <span style="background-color: white;">fascination</span> with makeup! Love you to the moon and back! πππππ</div>
<br />
When I asked Carsyn what kind of cake/theme she wanted this year, she surprised me with My Little Ponies. I didn't even know she watched them or knew who they were! Sure enough she did as she began to name them. So began my search for all things My Little Pony. The majority of her items I found at Target, the goodie bag items I purchased off Oriental Trading Co and the balloons came from Party City.<br />
<br />
We decided to have her party at a kids gym this year. What better way to burn off all that energy and sugar high than diving into a foam pit, climbing on balance beams and jumping in a bounce house. Any prancing pony would love dashing through those obstacles!<br />

I found the cake idea on Pinterest. The cupcakes were easy, made with confetti cake mix and then decorated with sugar crystals in rainbow colors. For the Rainbow Dash main cake I used 9" round cake pans and bought 3 different colored cake mixes: pink, yellow and blue. I used pastel blue food coloring mixed with vanilla frosting to get the desired base color for Rainbow Dash. The ears I came up with in my dreams (yes I seriously had a dream about it). I took Oreo filling, molding it with my hands into the shape of an ear (triangle), put it in the freezer to harden and then covered it in blue frosting and placed it onto of the cake. I cut the cookie part of the Oreo to fit inside the ears to give it depth. Instead of mixing 7 different colors of frosting for the hair, I used the AirHead rainbow sour strips and curled it around the top and backside. Genius! The eyes were also made out of Oreos, then I cut some of the sour strips and used the blue to line the iris of the eyes and make the eyebrows (good idea Juju!). I think it turned out quite well! The birthday girl was quite pleased.</div>

Yup, this just happened! I'm so proud of my little lady. She finally said she wanted to get her ears pierced for her (early) birthday so I decided to take her the very next day, before she changed her mind. We went to a little local shop where I know the owner (B Sweet) and picked out a pair of black onyx studs. She really wanted pink but unfortunately the store didn't have that color in stock. </div>
<br />
Poor little girl had no idea what was about to happen. We couldn't do both ears at once as there was only 1 person in the store to do it. So I sat on the chair with my little girl while she watched you-tube on my phone. The 1st earring went in effortlessly. At first Carsyn had no idea what happened, she went from shocked to crying in a matter of seconds. She did rebound quickly but now she KNEW what was going to happen with the other ear and wouldn't let us near it. Thankfully my friend Katie had come with us, we had to hold her down on the table so that the owner could pierce the other ear. OMG you would have thought we were committing murder in that boutique. This time it took several minutes for Carsyn to calm down. B Sweet made it all better by giving Carsyn and her friend Evelyn a mini make over, complete with sparkle eye-shadow! 5 mins later she was a happy camper.<br />
<br />
I'm just glad it's done. Now we just have to try and keep the earrings in for 6 weeks. Cause if they fall out, not sure I can go through that experience again! She should be able to start changing them out by her birthday in Oct, hopefully she lets me do that...<br />

There are times he actually sounds like an adult, and his sense of humor is definitely maturing. Time is just flying by, I can't believe he's almost done with 1st grade and his reading has drastically improved! This boy is always on the go, he's into ALL the sports: basketball, soccer, football, swimming, etc. I love that he is so full of life.<br />
<br />
His annual checkup was at the end of April. He weighed 55 lbs and was 49.5" tall which puts him in the 75th percentile. He's on track to hit 6'1"! Thankfully no shots this time around, though he did have to have a wart frozen off his baby toe. He did so well!

My little boy is growing up so fast! I can't believe he's now 7 years young; reading, protecting his little sister and mastering his humor/teasing. He's such an amazing, loving, handsome, sweet, caring, kind, funny, intelligent, energetic little guy full of life and smiles! You love your family, friends and football and put all your heart and energy into everything you do. You make us very proud and we love you very much! ππππ</div>

This year we celebrated his birthday with a batman theme π¦ at <a href="https://www.dartemup.com/" target="_blank">DARTemUP</a>. They had a pretty sweet birthday package that allowed the kids 70 mins of dart'em up tag experience (where they break into teams and battle it out, similar to lazer tag), 45 mins in the party room with pizza and a movie, gift bags for all the kids and then $8 worth of arcade tokens for each guest!</div>

For his batman theme I scoured the web and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ziggymsu/7th-birthday-batman/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> for batman cakes and finally settled on a 2 layer cake that had the bat symbol on top and Gothan City around the cake edges. I was extremely happy with how it turned out and found some amazing <a href="https://www.michaels.com/wilton-sugar-sheets-edible-decorating-paper-black/10184045.html#q=sugar+paper&start=2" target="_blank">sugar sheets at Michaels</a> to achieve the affect. I also made 24 cupcakes with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019NNCF4S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">batman rings</a> that I found on amazon.</div>

I thought it would be fun if we all wore bat apparel as a family. I had fun tracking down some shirts for the hubby (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QB8PHK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">batdad</a>) and I (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B1WRRTD/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_U_x_Go8WAbFMTJW9G" target="_blank">batmom</a>).

The kids had a blast choosing their nerf guns and dividing into teams. Ry got an upgraded nerf gun as he was the birthday boy. After some initial rules/training and choosing their protective goggles, they were led into one of the obstacle rooms to begin their tag experience. Those kids really got into it! I saw some of them diving behind barrels, low crawling and somersaulting. Some of the parents even got into it and participated in the battles. I was able to walk around and take video and pictures as long as I wore the goggles.</div>

We waited until we arrived at home to open all the presents. π Ry received some awesome gifts and started playing with them right away. This year we gave Ry some remote control <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYLA7QT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">bumper cars</a> that he had been raving about. They are a ton of fun to crash!<br />
<br />
A big thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated Ryland's 7th birthday with usβ£ π<br />

You are full of spunk and life with a lovely, quirky sense of humor. You brighten up our lives with your generous nature, amazing hugs and lovable kisses.<br />
<br />
Carsyn was the happiest princess on the block for her royal celebration. She was beyond ecstatic when Princess Belle arrived to socialize with the birthday girl and entertain her guests. I was concerned about the weather as a cold front came through that weekend accompanied by 20 mph winds! Luckily it warmed up to a comfortable 68 degrees just in time for her party, albeit a bit windy. This year we hosted her party at our neighborhood pavilion. <br />
<br />
Carsyn is all about Hello Kitty and Princess Belle, so we combined them both as her theme! I found most of her party supplies at Party City or Amazon.com. As the party started after lunch we provided royal snacks based on Disney movies. In the background we played Kids Disney songs from Pandora.<br />
<br />
We found Princess Belle at <a href="https://princesspartiesandmore.com/" target="_blank">Princess Parties and More</a> and booked the Glass Slipper package. Carsyn and all the other kids reactions were priceless, totally worth it! They played games, read books, had their faces painted and took pictures with the Princess. The night before her party, Princess Belle called Carsyn to tell her how excited she was to be invited to her celebration. She even sent Carsyn a thank you note with a picture of the two of them after the party. <br />

I found the cake idea on Pinterest. I already had the giant cupcake pan so I used that as the base (dress) part. The Beast and Belle dolls I ordered off Amazon. I had to remove Belle's clothing to put her in the cake and then frosted on her dress. For the hello kitty cupcakes I bought ring toppers and the stand came from party city. Easy peasy! Carsyn's dress/costume came from Sam's Club or Costco.</div>

This chick digs scars....<br />

The boy was super excited to see what the tooth fairy would bring him. Lo and behold the next morning he woke up to a $2 prize! Ry was thrilled, and now he's got a 2nd loose bottom tooth!<br />

Ryland graduated from Kinder today (5/30/2017) with a huge smile and he earned the 'best friend' award. The ceremony took about 45 mins to get through all 6 classes and they concluded by singing their class song "The Kindergarten Class" (to the theme of the Addams family) and the school song "Rowe Lane Rockets". Afterwards they celebrated with a pizza party in their classrooms. The school year flew by and just like that it's summer! :D<br />
<br />
Quick yearly followup: At his 6 yr checkup (in April) he measured 46 inches tall, weighed 48 lbs and is just above average (height/weight) for his age group. Happy and healthy and ready to take on the world! <br />

Ever since he started playing this shark game on his table he's been really into sharks: shark toys, video games, shark Lego's, shark shirts...you name it! So we settled on a shark theme and booked <a href="https://www.austinspark.com/" target="_blank">Austin's Park N Pizza</a> for the venue. The weather this year was perfect, normally we run into rain. It was partly cloudy, nice cool breeze, high 60's/low 70s, couldn't have asked for better weather!<br />

Once again <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ziggymsu/6th-birthday-sharks/" target="_blank">Pinterst</a> has been my friend in helping me gather my thoughts for a shark themed party. I found some awesome shark favors at <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/web/search/searchMain?keyword=shark" target="_blank">Oriental Trading Co</a>, a couple really cute cake and cupcake ideas as well as a shark balloon from <a href="http://www.partycity.com/product/under+the+sea+shark+balloon+giant.do?from=Search&navSet=shark%20balloon&bypass_redirect=1" target="_blank">Party City</a>. I also managed to find him a Jawsome shark shirt at a consignment event! Couldn't believe my luck on that one, NWT too! :)<br />

For the main cake I baked a red velvet sheet cake and cut it out in the shape of a shark. Of course then Ryland told me he wanted a killer whale cake, hence the brown/black coloring. :) I then made yellow cake cupcakes with tinted blue frosting and added shark lollipops to the top to make it look like a shark head or fin was on top of waves. I think they turned out super cute!<br />

Ryland was super excited to spend the day with his friends from the hood, daycare and Kinder class. They played laser tag, drove the go karts, tried their hands at mini golf, rode some roller coasters and enjoyed the arcade. We made sure to book the earliest time for his party (10:30am) to give them ample time to partake in all the activities, we stayed until 2pm!<br />

We waited until we arrived at home to open all the presents. Ry received some amazing gifts and dived right into playing with them and building Lego's. We presented Ry with a new big boy bike (18") for this birthday, which he immediately wanted to test out.<br />
<br />
A big thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated Ryland's 6th birthday with usβ£<br />

I'm way behind on blogging so we'll keep this short and sweet.<br />
<br />
Carsyn had her 3 yr checkup in October. She weighed 32 lbs (50%) and was 38.5 inches tall (83%). She also received her flu shot, thankfully daddy took her so I got to miss all that excitement. Car-Car is our sassy, sweet little lady. She's crazy smart and caring, always concerned and taking care of others. Her favorite thing to do right now is play Dr. She'll grab her medical kit, tell you you're sick and take buggies out of your ears. <br />
<br />
Granted I'm writing this in Dec but she's now fully potty trained!!! She only wears a diaper at night. Way to go Car-Car! No more pull-ups for us. :) Because of this she'll be able to move up to the next class room at daycare.<br />
<br />
Her next checkup is at 4 yrs of age.<br />
<br />

The weather was perfect the weekend of her party; partly cloudy with lots of sun, a cool breeze and 70 degrees. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Kiddie Acres provided the entertainment, food and goodie bags. We brought her cake/cupcakes, table covers, a cooler of juice boxes/water and birthday plates. When the kids arrived we gave them their tickets and let them loose on the grounds to play mini golf, ride the train and carnival rides. Pizza was served around 5pm followed by cake and then more rides. The kids had a blast and were thrilled with their cotton candy/balloon goodie bags.<br />

I found the idea for her cakes on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ziggymsu/3rd-bday-carnival/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>. The big top was pretty easy as I already had the giant cupcake pan and only had to decorate the top. The candles I bought from Party City and the cupcake wrappers came from Michaels. The snowcone cupcakes were a breeze as well, all you need is 3 different colored crystal sprinkles and frosting. You pour the sprinkles onto plates and roll one side in one color, then roll the other side in another color, and then roll the middle with the last color. VoilΓ ! </div>

<br />
At Ry's 5 year checkup he weighed 41.6 lbs and was 44 inches tall. That puts him in 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height! Thankfully no shots were needed this time around. He's a super happy, healthy and smart little guy. Ry is now ready for Kinder registration! I can't believe how much he's grown and how grown up he can be, he's always amazing me with his genius. <3<br />
<br />
Carysn had her 2.5 yr checkup at the end of April. She weighed in at 28.4 lbs and was 36.75 inches tall. She's also in the 50 percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height! No shots this time, her next checkup is at 3 yrs. Car-Car is an amazingly sweet, intelligent and healthy little lady. She's always on the go, keeping up with her big brother. <3<br />

Originally we had planned to party at <a href="http://www.kiddieacres.com/" target="_blank">Kiddie Acres</a> (which we had postponed from Carsyn's 2nd b-day the year before), but a series of severe thunderstorms projected for this past weekend resulted in us changing venues to <a href="https://www.pumpitupparty.com/round-rock-tx/" target="_blank">Pump It Up</a>. So glad we made this change as it rained off and on all day, and really started pouring at 5:30 pm (right in the middle of his party). Ry also had lately been asking to go back to Pump It Up, so the venue change worked out really well. <br />

For the past several months he's really been into Godzilla. Not sure how he discovered Godzilla, it might have been from watching YouTube on the tablet, but either way all he could talk about was Godzilla! Since the venue covered everything (food, utensils, setup/cleanup, entertainment, goodie bags, etc) all I had to do was make the cake and cupcakes. After some internet searching and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/ziggymsu/5th-bday-godzilla/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>-ing I found everything I needed to make the perfect cake. I scored some awesome <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-24-Cupcake-Topper-Rings/dp/B00K1I4L88" target="_blank">Godzilla cupcake topper rings</a> (also made for an a great take home goodie bag item) and a <a href="http://www.wbshop.com/product/godzilla+deluxe+destruction+pack+gzbiaf01.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search#" target="_blank">Godzilla destruction pack</a> with 3" figurines, breakable buildings and mini army vehicles for his 13x9" cake. π I also ordered him a Godzilla and King Ghidorah toy from Amazon as his gifts from us.<br />

Ryland LOVED his party. We invited his friends from daycare, pre-K, family and our friends. Since we changed venues last min our only option was a 5:45 pm party, a bit later than what we would have liked but worth it to avoid the rain. The kids had a blast jumping on all the inflatables and running through the bubbles. <br />

<span style="text-align: center;">After over an hour of playing we made our way into the party room for pizza and cake. The nice thing about this place was we could also bring in our own food and drink, so we had a veggie tray, fruit tray and meat/cheese tray as well as the pizzas. The boys were THRILLED with Ry's Godzilla cake. Ry was so excited that he blew the candles out before anyone could start singing happy birthday to him!</span><br />

After we finished eating Pump It Up packed everything up for us and helped load the car. We decided to open gifts at home as we only had the venue for 2 hours. Ry received some awesome gifts and was up past 10 pm playing with them.<br />
<br />
A big thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated Ryland's 5th birthday with usβ£<br />

Carsyn is officially 2 years young as of 10/28. She's an intelligent, curious, loving, dolphin giggling, energetic, sweet little girl. We love you so much Car-Car, Happy 2nd Birthday!</div>
<br />
Carsyn had her 2 year checkup on Friday (10/30) and passed with flying colors. The Dr is really happy with her progress; 28 percentile for weight (25 lbs) and 65 percentile for height (34") with a head circumference at 86 percentile (49cm). She did receive 1 shot and the flu mist, overall she's a very healthy average sized kid. :)<br />

Carsyn is definitely a child of electronics. She knows how to work a tablet and our phones. It's kinda cute too when she makes a swiping movement with her hand in the air to try and 'swipe' away a TV show. She loves her Disney movies and prefers to watch those over cartoons or anything else. She admires her big brother, Ryland, and tries to copy him in all things. Recently I bought Ry a pair of shark slippers and she started stealing them to wear, so I had to buy her a pair of her own!<br />

Have I mentioned that Carsyn is an excellent cuddler and loves to take naps, preferably with someone. It also takes her a while to fall asleep at night, there's been many of times that one of us has ended up sleeping 1-2 hours with her at night in her big girl bed. <br />

Carsyn is an excellent eater, sometimes out eating Ry. She goes to town on meatloaf and spaghetti, mac n cheese, pizza, cereal, cheese, fruit and has a deep love for lollipops and Popsicles. She is, however, NOT a fan of chocolate. Although she will eat cookie dough and brownie batter. :)<br />

Carsyn is such a strong little girl! When we took her bowling she would get quite upset if we tried to carry her bowling ball for her. She has become very independent and prefers to do things herself. Carsy is such a joy and I can't wait to see the little lady she becomes. Hugs & Kisses little one.</div>

Carsyn's 2nd birthday was originally setup for Kiddie Acres this past weekend, and then Hurricane Patricia happened and the forecast showed rain all weekend long. By Thursday evening I made a last min call and changed the venue to Safari Champs, an indoor playscape for kids. Thank goodness I did because it rained non-stop that Saturday and her party would have been ruined. Of course this meant I only had Friday to completely change her theme! Luckily both locations were all inclusive and I really only had to switch up her evite and cupcakes. Safari Champs was a complete success! Everyone was still able to make it despite the rain soaked road conditions and the kids had a blast.<br />
<br />
The evite:<br />

Since the party started so early it made for a quick morning. We barely had enough time for breakfast before arriving at Safari Champs around 8:45am to setup. The nice thing about Safari Champs is they took care of pretty much everything; provide table clothes/plates/utensils and even tied a balloon to each chair for the kids to take home. They handled the clean up too, which was awesome. All we did was bring in some appetizers and a cooler of extra drinks. The kids played to their hearts content. Pizza, hot dogs and soda were served as an early lunch and was part of the birthday package. Each kid also received a free one day pass to use at their convenience. </div>

I found the idea for the monkey cupcakes on the Internet. Super easy!! I bought the cake mix/frosting, eyeballs and vanilla wafers from HEB. It actually went together fairly quickly and the kids were even able to help add the ears and eyeballs, they had a blast helping mommy decorate. The safari monkey theme was perfect, this girl loves her monkeys! </div>

We waited until we were back home to open gifts. Carsyn loved everything she received and began playing with it immediately. Ry was also a fan of all her new toys. :) A huge thank you to everyone that was able to join us and celebrate Carsyn's 2nd birthday! </div>

Only 1 more month to go and Carsyn will be 2 years young! Every time we go to day care the front office ladies stop us and proclaim "we can't believe how big she's getting, she's so grown up!" Even her teachers have said she seems older and more independent. She now weighs about 27 lbs, has BLONDE hair that's long enough to pull back into a ponytail or pigtails and sleeps in her own big girl bed. Carsyn finally enjoys taking baths and she and Ry will play together quite nicely in the tub. She also gives the best hugs and kisses. In the pics below she's wearing our traditional German picture outfit, a dirndl. It fits, so it's time to schedule those pictures!</div>

Some of Carsyn's favorite things are: birds, swinging, Disney movies (Aladdin, Tangled, Tarzan, Wreck-It-Ralph, Beauty & the Beast), cheese, fruit, her baby doll and playing in the water. She also loves to try and play games on our phone or the tablet, though that doesn't usually end well as she's still a bit too young to fully understand them. Ry and Carsy do play with each other and Carsy always wants to copy her big brother. It's so much fun to watch, but they also have their bad days where they steal each others toys, use that horrible word "mine" and cry...oh the crying! It's especially draining when they both must have mommy at the same time. It's good to be loved :)<br />

Carsyn is an excellent eater. She has her favorites and is also very willing to try new things; mac n cheese, chicken pot pie, lollipops, Popsicles, lasagna, eggs and sausage links, cereal...pretty much any breakfast food. Carsy has a mouth full of teeth and puts them to good use, we are foodies! The kids also love to eat raw cookie dough and brownie mix (they get this from me). <br />

I found a great deal on Groupon for the Austin Aquarium, so one weekend we headed on over for some fishy fun. They added a lot more stuff since the last time we were there (a year ago). The kids loved feeding the stingrays and petting the iguana. The place even had a playscape in the back that they spent a good 20 mins climbing on. There were also birds, snakes and plenty of other attractions that are great for 2-6 yr olds. </div>

We really noticed that Carsyn has been talking a lot more this past month. She's stringing together 3-4 words now. The other day she said "Ry-Ry where are you?". Some of her favorite words are 'paci', 'cereal' and of course 'mama'. Her favorite movie is Wreck-It-Ralph and it must be watched at least 2x's a day on weekends, and every night during the week. She loves her big brother Ry and must copy him in all things; such as climbing walls & fences, eating the same snacks and playing with dinosaurs. I love that she's such a tom boy. :) This girl's got spunk, character, smarts and will bust a move to music at any time. My tiny dancer.<br />

At the beginning of August we took the kids on their first airplane ride to Cincinnati to visit my brother's family (Uncle Steve & Aunt Lil C, Mason & Harper) and meet the newest addition to their family, baby Harper. The kids had a blast and flying didn't phase them one bit. It was great to visit with family and check out the local zoo and aquarium! <br />

This month we upgraded Carsyn's room from a crib to a full sized bed! It took a couple nights for her to adjust and sleep through the night in her new bed, but it was totally worth it to be done with that crib. It still takes a while to put her down because she wants you to lay there with her until she falls asleep, which sometimes takes a good hour! Poor daddy gets stuck with this routine the majority of the time as Ry-Ry now wants mommy to take him to bed. All in all a successful transition. Next up is potty training, we still haven't mustered up the energy to tackle that new adventure.</div>

Lots of changes for the little lady (and family) this month. The last of Carsy's teeth finally broke through, all 4 canines at once! That made for a rough couple of nights and lots of Tylenol. Then we took a trip to San Marcos to visit Bro-Bro's new college apartment and stock up his fridge. The littles got a nice taste of college life. And finally Ry-Ry started pre-K in a new school, so Carsy is on her own now at daycare and at Opa & Juju's. They are growing up way too fast!</div>

Towards the end of the month we bought the kids a new toy, a bike trailer! I've been wanting a bike trailer for a while now to cart the kids around, I can also use it to take Ry to pre-K as its only 1 mile away from our house. The kids LOVE it, especially when mommy goes fast. They rode in it all weekend long, mommy took them out in the morning and we hit up all the parks in the neighborhood. Tons of fun for the kids, lots of exercise for mommy.</div>

Next up is planning Carsy's bday. I've already confirmed the location, found her birthday present and sent out invites. Now I just need to figure out her cake!</div>

Carsyn has really grown up the past couple of months, or so it feels like to me. :) We've started taking away her paci during the day, she only gets it at nap time and bedtime, and she's been talking WAY more. The nice thing is she actually hasn't seemed to miss her paci. I'm hoping we'll be able to fully break her of it within the next month. I think she's also grown taller and she definitely feels heavier than before. This girl is ALL muscle at 26 lbs and she wears 18-24 month clothing. Carsy climbs up playscapes and rock walls like a boss, and since ISR swim lessons she's become a guppy! She loves the water and can't get enough of swimming to mommy in the pool. </div>

I think we are also ready to try potty training this next month, heck we've already procured pull-ups. Carsy is great about telling us when she's gone #2 and needs a new diaper. We have a small training potty that she has sat on a couple times and has successfully gone #1 (only once though)! We still have Ry's training toilet seat to use as well. How awesome would that be to have her potty trained by the time she's 2!! I'm so ready to be done with diapers...she's almost too big to fit on her changing table now anyways.</div>

Right now Carsy's favorite movies are Wreck It Ralph, Hotel Transylvania and Beauty and the Beast. It's great because she will quietly sit there watching those movies throughout the day. So when mommy and daddy need down time we put on a movie and she is mesmerized. :) Lately she's been pushing her bedtime and not going down until close to 9pm. These kids are night owls!</div>

Carysn loves playing with her big brother Ry, she follows him everywhere. For the most part they play really well together, but like all siblings after awhile they do irritate each other. My favorite moments of them together are when he helps Carsy into her chair, when they give each other hugs & kisses and when they sit down side by side to watch a tv show together. Melts my heart!</div>

We started the first local swim lessons in June and I just wasn't that impressed. For Carsyn is was a parent/tot class where all you did was make them comfortable in the water; blow bubbles, jump in and carry them around in circles. Ryland's classes were a little better, they taught swim moves, but they never let the kids do it on their own, they were always holding them. <br />
<br />
One day at our local pool, Ry ran past me (obviously excited) and jumped into the deep end. The kid has no fear! I had Carsyn and wasn't able to make it to him in time, luckily another adult was in the water next to him and grabbed his quickly sinking arm. Yeesh! I knew these local swim lessons just weren't cutting it and we were tired of having to use life-vests and floaties all the time. The next day we were at my SIL's house and I saw her kids swimming, they are the same age as Ry and Carsy! I asked what they were doing differently and ISR came up. This is the 2nd time I've heard this mentioned. I looked into it last year but the price is what made me hesitate. Once I saw the results we realized it was soooo worth it to put them in these lessons.<br />
<br />
I asked one of my running friends for their <a href="https://www.infantswim.com/lessons/isr-lessons.html">ISR</a> contact, registered the kids for the following week and cancelled the local swim lessons. We were ready to go! <br />
<br />
The first time participating in ISR it usually runs for 6 weeks, depending on the child's skills. They are 1 on 1 lessons with the teacher, 5 days a week for 10 mins each lesson. Then every year after that you can re-register for a refresher course which should last about 2-4 weeks. Our teacher, Ms Vicki, was AMAZED with our kids (especially Carsyn). Ry only cried the first 3 lessons, then after that he LOVED it and couldn't wait to go to swim lessons every day. Carsyn cried for probably a good 2 weeks before she was comfortable with the process. However right off the bat the teacher noticed how strong Carsyn was and how quickly she caught on. Heck by week 2 these kids made amazing leaps and bounds with their swimming skills and by week 3 Carsyn was loving it and actually started smiling during the lessons.<br />

At the end of week 3 Ms Vicki told us they were ready to test out the following week! I couldn't believe how quickly they had mastered these swimming/survival skills. They both had to complete 2 tests. The first test was in summer clothes (shorts, shirt, sandals), they had to fall in and demonstrate all their survival/swimming techniques. Carsyn even had to wear 2 diapers!! I can't imagine how heavy that must have been wearing a swim diaper and a regular diaper. The second test was in winter clothes; pants, long sleeved shirt, jacket, socks and tennis shoes. THEY DID GREAT! I feel so much better now when we take them to the pool knowing that if they fall in they can float, swim, survive. These kids are like fish! They love the water and no longer require floaties!! :)<br />

Carsyn is such a doll and so full of life! She loves it when mommy gives her airplane rides and she constantly tries to copy her big brother Ryland. Those two mimic each other constantly; drinking at the same time, eating the same foods, racing around the house together, sharing mommy's lap...sometimes it's hard to keep up with them! Carsyn is also a cuddle bug and I adore her for it. She loves to give hugs and kisses, sit in your lap and just be near you. Some of her favorite things to say are: cheese, bubbles, hi, waves and says 'bye-bye', if something falls she says 'oh no' and tries to clean it up and of course 'ow!'. She's also an avid lover of her stuffed animals. Right now her favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast and she loves bunnies and birds and tries to catch them when she sees them. We haven't started potty training yet but I think she's close, she doesn't like having a poopy diaper and will come tell us when she has a BM. She'll pat her bottom and say 'poop'. When we ask her if she needs a diaper she will nod her head yes and start walking to the changing table. :)</div>

We started swim lessons in June, the first 2 weeks we were signed up with the Pf rec center. Then we went to a birthday party and saw how well my SIL's kids could swim (the same age as our kids) and asked what they were doing, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwvv5IyPkXM">ISR</a> lessons (infant swim rescue). So we signed the kids up right away and managed to start the following week. In just 5 days they have made huge improvements in their swimming abilities. Definitely worth it!<br />

This month was full of fun things: Playing on the patio at Sam's Boat, a Safari Champs outing, Father's day lunch, playing in the rain and at the neighborhood splash pad, and of course an awesome birthday party at Kiddie Acres. Heck we even went to Sea World to round out the month! This time I bought Ryland some fish to feed the sea lions...and I totally forgot to take a picture! Bad mommy. Anyways, the kids had a blast and especially loved the kiddie water park. During our Sea World trip it rained on us, so my phone was put away to avoid water damage, hence some missing pictures.</div>

I realized about a month ago that we needed to set up a dentist appointment for Carsyn. When the dentist called to confirm Ry's appointment this month, we scheduled her at the same time. Ry's checkup was in the general room with me while the hubby and Carsyn went to a private room for her very first cleaning. The dentist said everything looked great and that she possibly had some more teeth emerging as her gums were swollen, I think it might be her canines. Overall she scored a B+ and Ry got an A. <br />

This month we went to Ry's soccer closing ceremonies, which was really just a big celebration at the soccer fields. They had tons of jump houses, a train and a petting zoo! The littles with insane with the petting zoo! Carsyn especially loved the bunnies and was not happy unless one was in her lap. Ry had a ball catching all the animals he could, every time the hubby and I turned around he had a different bird/bunny/pig in hand! That was the perfect way to end a Friday and wear those kids out for bed. ;)<br />

During the month of May we also attended several birthday parties. One of them was at the Main Event bowling alley, which was a first for the littles! Ry was so excited it was hard for him to wait his turn, and he was a great helper when it was Carsyn's turn. I loved the dino bowling aids. We even hit up the arcades after cake and ice cream. Those kids were so enthralled with all the lights that it was tough to drag them away when it was time to go.</div>

We've been to Safari Champs before, but this time Carsyn was able to do a lot more on her own. While Ry was off playing with his daycare friends for a bday party, Carsyn was off on her own adventures. She easily mastered the toddler section and then moved onto the main playscapes. I of course had to follow her around but she really did it all on her own. She loved keeping up with the big kids, sliding down the slides and exploring. </div>

Next month (June) we start 2 months of swim lessons for both kids. I can't wait to see how Carsyn does, of course one of us has to be in the water with her, most likely me. 3x's a week for 2 months will be quite the workout. At least I know Ry is excited for the classes, he actually asked me a few weeks ago when swimming would start again. Fingers crossed!</div>

I just wish I knew where to put them all! Or had a better filing/display system.<br />
<br />
Ry played soccer for the first time this spring, that was a learning experience. Below are his Spring 2015 pictures.<br />
<br />
Also on 3/16 Ry and Carsy had new school photos taken. They are just so stinkin' cute! Unfortunately the pictures of them taken together didn't turn out so well...I let those go.<br />
