Surprise

I am back!!!  Not sure how often, but hoping to get back on the "blog wagon" to better document what our family is up to!  I used to have this blog to keep our family updated since we lived far away, but now we are home!!!  So...onto my first post...

This year has been full of changes for our family!  We took our first really big vacation to Florida!  We spent two days at Disney (my first time), one day at Cocoa Beach, one shopping day, and had a couple down days. One evening we met up with my best friend and her family who were there as well at Downtown Disney for dinner! It was a great time...we had a blast!

When we returned from Disney we got a huge surprise!  We found out we were having a baby!!  I found out on April 22 and told Kyle the next day.  We were super shocked and after that wore off our shock turned into excitement!  We were due December 26th.

Summer was full of baseball!  It was Drew's first year in Pinto and Blake played t-ball.  Drew ended up making the all star team, so that extended the season for another few weeks.  When it was all said and done we were sad and relieved....it was a busy few months! Plus we learned that we were going to have another BOY!!!  Carson Hamilton!

Before we knew it school was starting! Drew started 2nd grade and Blake started kindergarten.  It was an interesting transition for our family, but a good one.  The boys both got great teachers and love school. 

Fall flew by as we learned to balance school, Kyle's crazy work schedule, my part time schedule, and I started babysitting 3 days per week. Throw in tons of baby doctors appointments and non-stress tests and before we knew it the holidays were upon us!

Two great family Thanksgivings, a couple days after Kyle and I went out to do our Christmas shopping because I was 36 weeks pregnant and we weren't sure when the little mister would show up!  We made a long evening of it for two reasons....it was our last date night before becoming a family of 5 and I needed to take frequent breaks from being on my feet!  Ha!  Here I was at 37 weeks...3 days before Carson was born...

Carson Hamilton Turner made us a family of 5 on December 8th at 11:28 pm!!

He is one month old today and as it always does....time had FLOWN by!!!  We are adjusting to our new normal and are super excited to be settling in.  Times get a little crazy and I know that as he grows it will get crazier....but this is our Paradise!
