Big accomplishments this week

We're heading into the last couple weeks of school in Chad's second year of law school which means lots of studying until midnight at the library and getting up in the wee hours of the morning. Needless to say Chad is exhausted. I caught these two taking a nap together the other day. Too cute!
Last week my mom mentioned how she had had been canning jam. So I made up my mind that I was going to make some strawberry jam too. So I headed to Sam's Club and bought me some of these babies...And went to work. I remember helping my mom make jam growing up, but for some reason I always thought it was much harder than it actually was. It's so easy! I'm all about that! I had a fun time making it and in the end it turned out great!
Carson also had a big accomplishment this week. He rolled over for the first time! Although he hasn't figured out how to get his hands out from under him I still counted it. I was so proud of him! He did it twice in one day and then hasn't done it since. Hopefully he'll decide to do it again soon.
This kid just LOVES eating his fist!
This is his latest move when I set him down for tummy time. He sticks his butt in the air and gets his knees curled up and lays his head down to gnaw on his fist. So funny!

Home made Jam always makes me think about sleepovers at Grandma M's and the toast eating contest we would have in the morning. Cute new family Picture how did you manage to get Chad in it with all that studying?:) I love when they roll and get high centered on there arms. Carson is SOOOO cute michelle!!! I kept meaning to comment on your last few post but I have'nt been on the computer much lately. Glad you had such a good time in Utah.

So so cute of them asleep on the bed, both just tuckered right out!!
Jam is so easy and the great thing about freezer jam is you don't need fancy containers. Cute pictures of Carson, oh how I miss him!!!

Love the fist in the mouth! Izzie did/does that too. I think she figured there wasn't anything better to do while on her tummy. :)
