Which is Which?

Alright, I've been talking about doing this for awhile and finally got around to it. These are pictures of my boys at the same age. I have a hard time telling their pictures apart. Do you? Answer the three polls on the right of the blog page. Good luck!!
p.s. Leave a comment if you can to let me know what you voted. I'm curious and the polls don't let you see who voted for what.
I've had a few people misinterperet the poll. The 100% or 77% means that that percentage of people voted for that answer. Not that you got it 100% correct. Noone will know the right answers until I post it later.

Katherine's a three year old

Katherine turned 3 on March 13th. She loved her princess cake and enjoyed having friends and family over for ice cream. She got a thumbelina doll, Tinkerbell the movie, and a few other toys.

In this video we lit the candles a second time for all the other kids to blow out. Katherine as you can see was devastated she blew too late with the rest of th kids. Wow, she was not happy.

He's already 1 month?

Caleb was 4 weeks on Friday and I would like to update everyone on how life's going. First of all we found out the second day in the hospital that Joshua had pnemonia. So he had to stay a few extra days at Grandma Clark's house. When they came home he had to sanitize his hands all day long and wear a mask. Joshua loves him so much. We never had to fight him about the mask. He just wanted to hold him and would do anything he needed to.

Then after a few days we learned his bilirubin was too high and had to go on the lights. I have already done this with Kyle and was hoping it would be easier. It wasn't!!!!! Caleb would not sleep fitfully at all and I would spend all night trying to comfort him on the bed. After two nights I was in tears and my freakin awesome sister Anna Lisa came down from Logan and spent 2 1/2 days cleaning, cooking, visiting, staying up with Caleb while I slept, and saving our mental status.

Lucky for us he was only on for 4 days and didn't have to end up in the hospital.

Kyle has sure surprised us with how much he loves Caleb and wants to hold him. Here is Kyle's favorite comfort strategy for the baby. He holds in the pacifier with his palm and rubs Calebs cheeks with two of his fingers. We're so happy that we don't tell him when we notice Caleb's cheeks are a little red after the rubbing.

Caleb Weston Carlson

Here's our little boy! He arrived Friday the 20th late at night after 2 1/2 hours of labor! He was 9 lbs 2 oz (small for us!) 21 1/2 inches long and has lots of hair. He is very sweet tempered so far and is perfect.

MONSTER JAM

On Friday the 13th Daddy and the boys enjoyed the great American tradition of Monster Jam. Kyle did not like the LOUD trucks. About halfway through we started doing the wave and Kyle found his groove. It was great spending an evening with the boys, they want to buy a Monster Truck and crush everything in sight.

Our Favorite truck-Backwards Bob ( Can you tell how he earned his name?)

At least we left smiling, We thought after the first five minitues we were headed home. Bring Earplugs.

The girl quilt is all finished and just in time. We had an ultrasound from the midwives (of course I was measuring big, again!) and the baby is estimated at 9 lbs. I am only 38 weeks along and they don't think they'll leave the baby in to grow much more. I will probably be induced Tuesday the 17th or Thursday the 19th. It depends on if the baby turns head down in time or not. Anyway we know there is not much time for the poll but if you notice to the left we have listed a poll-boy or girl. What do you think it is?


Here is the quilt I made when I was pregnant with Katherine. I love the stripes-Katie's is the exact pattern just with variations of pink. I can't decide which one I like better.

Fat Cats Bowling Night

Our kids have water bottles that get filled with beans whenever they do anything nice, listen to their parents or pretty much anything good. They get small prizes when the reach certain spots in the bottle and a big prize when it is filled to the top. Their big prize was to go bowling this time. The kids had so much fun. Katherine loved the finger drying fan when it blew her hair and insisted on carrying her own ball to the ramp. Joshua and Kyle used the ramp for awhile but soon wanted to throw the ball like adults. Everyone started excited at their scores until Josh noticed Daddy would get strikes and spares and he couldn't.

In the above pictures the boys are still way happy.

In the following pictures you can see by the looks on their faces how competitive they are and that their scores were upsetting. Katherine could've cared less!
