On your Mark.. Set.. KARSON!! Almost 2 count down.

This is the book I have been reading to my boys.. Karson is especially fond of it, I have to post it, it truly made me cry when I first read it to both of them, as in the very end, they both smiled looked at me and gave me a bug hug. These are FOR sure the moments I live for!!

" No Matter What" - By Emma Dodd.

Sometimes you're HAPPY.

Sometimes you're SAD.

Sometimes you're GOOD.

Sometimes you're BAD.

Sometimes your SCARED.

Sometimes you don't know how to BEHAVE.

Sometimes you're DIRTY.

Sometimes you're CLEAN.

Sometimes you're KIND.

Sometimes you're MEAN.

But no matter WHAT you say or do, it makes no difference...

I LOVE YOU.

It's sweet, Simple, and Say's it all.. Still not too sure why I cried..

(Little out of order Man.. I want my little Little Guy again..)

I wanted to recapture karson from birth to now. I can not believe that he will be 2 soon..:

(October.) The time is so super sweet with him, his sweet laugh, his curious questions, his all over adorable nature ( when not sleepy.. as with any toddler. ) Here is a pile of pictures of my little bugs, squeezable, huggable Karson.

My sister was in town to take these of karson, he was 2 months old.

Jumping quickly.. you will see a common theme here.. " Bee bee.." Personally I cant stand it!

but he loves it.. still

I was asking karson where his grandpa was.. and he was in mid-sentence telling me, when I just

snapped.. hoping that I would get his smile. He has shone to be a little more tough to get his

adorable smile head on.. it's all good though.

Cousins 2010

My sister was here this past weekend with her family, it was So nice to have all the cousins together for fun in the sun, running in the " land mine fields" playing on hay bales, oh the sweet joys of the children.. Except for My sweet karson.... He was a HOT mess!! Kaid would be in the pictures, leaving karson screaming not wanting to take them, and then visa versa. So nice that they were willing to stand still for 2 sec ALL of them, even if they were spaced a little apart.. that is what makes it cute..

Thanks kris.. The outfits really all worked well too!

Hatch Wave

I feel I have Way too much to post.. Where to begin. I guess, starting off by.. We are in a cute house living in Vancouver. Kaid started summer school July 6th, and his last day was this past Friday July 30th. I am happy he was able to continue learning in the school setting he is familiar with. He had a little bestie these few weeks he attended school, her name was Ester. She was a sweet little girl, kaid was delighted to know she was on the bus each morning. I will be looking forward sleeping in until.. Oh, 7:30am now instead of waking up at 6am, to get kaid ready for school. Kent was up each morning cooking kaid breakfast & getting his bag ready for school, and told me to sleep in, though , seeing kaids excitement as he waved goodbye from the bus doing the traditional " Hatch Chin wave" totally made each one of my mornings! I would not miss that for the world. For those that do not know, my maiden name is Hatch, in our family ( my parents I believe started the traditional wave ) we make a goodbye wave under our chin, mostly with the children. It is truly a stable "goodbye wave" in our family.. and believe me it's Very cute to watch my boys wave goodbye. I am yet to capture this on film though.. they are a little too quick for me. Karson.. I can not get enough of this little cutie pie! Ok, I am very partial. Given the current challenges that pose on his brother, Karson is a tough little cookie. We were worried that he would be a " wimpy kid" I say that with good intentions. Kaid has been quite rough on him, though we are right there sometimes we are not fast enough. I am amazed with karson each and everyday, to watch him just truly Love kaid, no mater what kaid does ( too some degree)

I truly know that Karson know's there is a little difference with kaid, and actually is more patient with him. I love my time that I can spend just alone with kar, his warmth and curiosity in bugs,books,bee bee's ( aka. Binky ) he is so adorable, and I can not believe will be 2 in two MONTHS!! Summer is wrapping up soon.. which I am happy for and sad. More to come on our fun summer adventures :)
