I thought I better update since it's been awhile. We've had a lot going on! Chris had a birthday on the 17th, Happy Late Birthday babe! (He would kill me if I put how old he was!) We were lucky enough to have my mom come down again to watch the kids. Chris is always so creative with his gifts so I wanted to do somthing sweet for him. I led him on a little scavenger hunt for two days stopping for gifts, golf, a movie staying at Little America, and some shopping. It was a ton of fun and he loved it. Then two days later it was our Anniversary, 3 years! I know it seems like it should be more with 2 kids, but nope! We celebrated the next weekend at the Melting Pot, it's where we had our first date and one of my favorite places to eat. It was a great week!
Memorial weekend was a ton of fun. We had a Harvey family reunion at a ranch in Fairview, it was beautiful. The place was huge, it was perfect for all the little kidos to run around together, they had a blast! The adults all stayed up till 3 playing bunko, mafia and the animal game (for those of you who have played it's hilarious!) We had a lot of fun and was sad to have it end. Monday was Chris's works Lagoon day. It was perfect weather and Carson had so much fun. We couldn't ride with him on most of the rides so we just stuck him in there by himself. The first one was a helicopter ride and I didn't realize how high it went and that it tilted, I felt soo bad! He was gripping the back of the ride the whole time and I've never seen him so terrified. I felt like such a bad mom cause he was so scared but after it was over he was smiling and clapping! After that he wanted to do all of them, he even rode on the little roller coaster. Everyday since he can't stop talking about how he wants to go back to "agooooon"!! Since Monday things have been pretty lowkey, we've just been staying at home enjoying this nice weather.
The kids are growing like crazy, Raegan's already 4 1/2 months. She had her 4 month checkup and I can't find the card with her info on it but I know she was 25-50% in weight and 75% in height. She has the funniest personality, she's either super serious or just as happy as can be, there's no in between with her. She's rolling over now both from tummy to back and back to tummy. She sat in her high chair for the first time on Tuesday and tried the rice cereal. She hated every second of it, she gagged for like 10 seconds, such drama!! I gave her some more today and it wasn't as bad but she loves to sit up in the high chair and thinks she's so big. She loves her feet and sucks on her toes, her middle finger (wierd I know) and her bottom lip. Carson is really starting to interact a lot more with her. He always talks to her in baby talk when she's crying and he's able to calm her down even when I can't, it's the sweetest thing. He brings her toys and will just lay there by her, I love it.
I'm so mad because I forgot my camera for the reunion and Lagoon so I'm just posting some recent pictures of the kids, or I should say kid! Carson is impossible to get a picture of lately, he will not sit still!!

After her first bite of cereal, not too thrilled!

Easter
This was Carson's first year coloring Easter eggs and he loved it! He would drop them in then take them out over and over again, I think most of our eggs turned out brown because of all the different colors he used!
Carson was so excited Easter morning when he saw his basket, for those of you who know him, he gets a little over excited at everything!! He wasn't too eager about finding the eggs, I guess that comes with age. He found a couple and then just wanted to eat the chocolate. Raegan just sat back and watched, they both looked so cute in their new sunglasses.
My cousin was home from Texas to bless their little boy Mason so we went up to Driggs for his blessing. After, we all went to my Aunts house for dinner. We hardly ever all get together so it was so good to see and visit with everyone. There were 5 babies all born around the same time, so now my grandparents have 17 Great Grandkids! The kids all looked so cute in their Easter outfits and it turned out to be such a nice day.

March Update
Ok so I know that I'm slow but you should expect that by now right! I have a lot of pictures to post! I don't know where the time has gone but I can't believe it is the middle of April! We had a lot going on in March, a lot of firsts for Raegan, Carson's second birthday, Olivia's blessing, we got the nursery redone and Carson's room painted.
Thanks to Yia Yia for getting these adorable St. Patricks day outfits!!
St.Patricks day was so nice that we decided to go for a walk to the park by our house, Carson loved being able to play outside in nice weather for once! Raegan & Olivia's first walk together.
Raegan discovered her fists and she chews on them all day!
Carson turned 2 on the 25th and we had a little party with family and friends. Carson is obsessed with Finding Nemo so as you can see we had a Nemo party. Carson was so happy when everyone came. He wasn't too sure about everyone singing Happy Brithday to him, he's not one to like all the eyes on him! He was so excited to open presents that he didn't even eat cake till after everyone left. He got a lot of fun stuff so thanks to all of you!
Olivia looked beautiful in her blessing dress and Justin did such a good job, it was such a nice day!
When Carson was in the nursery the room was blue, red and tan and I wasn't about to try and paint over that myself so we hired a painter and it turned out soo cute. I don't have anything on the walls yet but the stripes turned out so good!
We moved Carson in one of the extra bedrooms and he LOVES his new room. Anytime anyone comes over he wants to show him his new room and has to tell them what colors the walls are. We got his bedding at Pottery Barn and it's been so fun decorating his room. We painted one wall a slate blue and his window seat wall a green. I don't have a very good picture of the colors but I'll post some once we get everything in there. He was so cute when we were putting together his new bed, it took us a couple of hours and he was silent the whole time with a screwdriver in his hand just working away. He was such a big help! I was a little nervous putting him in a twin bed, thinking he would just get out but he's done awesome! He woke up a couple of times the first couple of nights but now he's sleeping all through the night and even taking his naps in there, I'm just crossing my fingers that the naps last!!
We went into the doctors for Raegan's 2 month checkup and everything looked perfect! She weighed 10 lbs. 13 oz. in the 50%, she was 22 1/2 inches long also in the 50%. She's growing up way too fast and has been so much fun. She laughs and smiles all the time now and jabbers all day, you can tell she's going to be a talker! She definitely lets you know when she's not happy, and there's no quiet cry that gets loud, when she's mad she belts it out from the get go! She's been an awesome sleeper and is pretty close to sleeping through the night in her crib, and I can't tell you how happy I am about that! She loves her brother, and is always watching him, they are so cute together!
Carson also had his 2 year checkup and he weighed 25 lbs 3 oz in the 10-25%, and was 34 1/4 in. long in the 50%. He's been so fun lately, he's really starting to come out of his shell. He's such a little ham, and is starting to talk a lot more everyday. He loves playing outside, holding his little sister and can dance like no other, he's seriously got some moves!!
This is such a long post that I'll put my Easter pictures on here another day!
