Disneyland Again?

You would think we live there by how much we go! We love that place and can't get enough. So of course, on Carson's actual birthday, we went to Disneyland!  He got a fun Birthday Badge with his name on it.  All the employees told him "Happy Birthday" all day long!  What a fun day!

 

 

Happy 2nd Birthday Carson! 

And here is a picture of Carson playing with his remote control car that he got for his birthday.  He's wearing Evan's T-Ball hat and of course it is way too small for his head!  Too funny! 

 

Carson's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe Carson is already 2!  He is a tank and loves to eat!  We always tell Evan to watch out and not be mean because Carson is going to beat him up pretty soon!  His 2 year old stats are:

Height:  34 1/4 inches (50th %)

Weight:  30 lbs (75th%)

Head Circ:  He still has a huge head!  100+%! 

Since he absolutely LOVES Mickey Mouse, we threw him a Mickey party.  He LOVED the big Mickey balloon and couldn't stop saying "MINNIE!  MINNIE!  MINNIE!"  (That's how he says Mickey)  Too funny!  Here's the Birthday Boy with his big brother Evan...

Getting ready for Carson to blow out the candles...

The cake...(Mommy will definitely not be buying that type of icing next time...it was SO hard to write with!)

The man of the hour...

He got some cool gifts!  Lots of Mickey shirts that he LOVES to wear...

Mommy and Daddy got him this Magna Doodle...he loves to draw!

He had a blast playing with friends and celebrating his big day...

Happy Birthday Carson!  We love you!

Evan's First Day of T-Ball!

Evan was SO excited to play T-Ball this year!  He loves hitting the ball and actually hits it better when someone tosses it to him rather than off the tee, but the tee works too.  It was freezing on the first day, but he had a great time!  Here he is with Carson... 

Getting instruction from the coach...

Playing catch with a girl on the team...

Check out that form! 

It's so fun to watch the kids play!  We look forward to Saturday mornings! 

Fun with Great Grandpa Nielsen!

Sean's grandpa came to stay with us for Easter weekend!  He is 92 years old and looks great for his age.  He slept in our guest room and Evan and Carson were glad he came to visit.  We got some cute pictures of them together... 

Coming soon to the Struebing Family...

We made this announcement at my parents' house on Easter Sunday! Sean is really hoping for a girl, but I'm getting prepared for another boy. A girl would be so fun though! I'm 12 weeks today and feeling fine. No morning sickness, luckily! I've just been really tired and have had a hard time finding food that sounds good to eat. We are so excited for this next adventure in our lives...3 kids! Wow...I don't think I'll ever be able to go anywhere with all of them by myself!

We love the Beach!

The day after Easter, we drove down to Newport for the day.  We took the boys to the beach because the weather was so nice!  Evan was sporting his butterfly on his eyebrow from Easter.  While Aunt Dana was cleaning out Grandma's pool with the pool net, Evan ran right into the end of the stick that was really sharp.  He got a big gash that we doctored up and now he'll have a cool scar to remember it!  I'm sure it will be the first of many scars to come!  Here is Daddy taking a stroll on the beach with his boys...     

Gorgeous!

Cool picture of a guy dropping in at the Wedge...

Evan gave us the signal that it was time to go.  This is what a tired and cranky boy looks like...

But Gelato Paradiso can cheer anyone up!  SO yummy!  Evan and Carson couldn't eat it fast enough!

Nice face, Daddy!  Looks like Carson is thinking, "Daddy, you're weird!"

Can't wait to go back to the beach again this summer and go in the water!  And Gelato Paradiso again FOR SURE!  :)

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came to Grandma and Grandpa's house this year!!  Evan and Carson loved finding all the eggs filled with candy.  The Easter Bunny spoiled them with some fun toys too!  Here they are on the hunt...

"I got one, Mom!!"

"Is there something in that plant?"

I think Carson spots something...

Yep!  Right there!

Here are the aunts and cousins (plus our friend Kayla)...



Decorating the Easter Eggs!

The boys had so much fun decorating Easter eggs this year! Carson was extra excited...he was going crazy trying to grab the eggs and the cups with dye in them. It was stressful trying to make sure nothing spilled!! Daddy did a little photo shoot with the boys while Mommy was getting the dyes ready...

Being silly...

Nana and Papa were in town for Easter so Nana got to help with the eggs too...

Coloring eggs in action...

Our Easter family picture...

Waiting and waiting...

All done!

Check out my egg!

Earlier that morning, we went to a 5k Fun Run for Julie Reichmann who has pancreatic cancer. Sean ran it and I pushed the kids in the stroller. It was great to be there and support her. She and her family are in our prayers!

(This picture looks like I chopped all my hair off but I didn't...the rest is behind my back!)
