Time Flies!!!

I love following blogs so I decided to start one of my own. I also thought it would be fun for family and friends out of town and state to have the chance to see what Karson's up to:)

I named our blog "rememebermealways" because I want to do just that. In the craziness of our lives we think we'll always remember but time seems to go by so quickly and we easily forget those things we say we'll " always remember."

I want to remember Karson always. Who he was as a newborn baby, who he was at 2 months old, 6 months old, 9 months old, a year old and who he is today! All of that time is so special. Hopefully with blogging I will be able to capture some of those precious times and memories.

So in honor of my precious little boy who just turned ONE on May 21, 2011 here we go.........

Bits and Pieces of Karson's 1st Year!

Karson is happy, funny, BUSY, loving, determined, smart, adorable, independent, sweet and a complete goof ball! These are just a few words I would use to describe who he has always been.

This morning as I was thinking about starting this blog I started thinking about the first time I met Karson. May 21, 2010 around 1:22am after 22 hours of labor might I add:) Justin layed him on my chest. I remember him looking up at me, looking straight into my eyes. He didn't cry he just looked at me, a moment I will NEVER forget. And as I look at him today and think about how much he has grown and changed in the past year I can still look into his eyes and see that same little boy. And throughout the past 12 months his little personality has always been there. It just gets brighter and stronger each day.

Things that Karson loves!

His doggies! Copper, Roo and Rex.... He has always, always loved them. He actually LOVES all animals, dogs, cats, horses you name it. (He takes after his momma in that aspect:)

His family~ It AMAZES me with how fast and how little he was when he started recognizing the people he knew! He actually cries now if they leave.....it's sad but cute.

The water! Karson started hottubbing, taking baths and showers very early and still loves it all to this day! Any water he can get into makes his day! The dogs water bowl is his VERY FAVORITE!! Along with dog food....ugh! Sometimes I think he loves his doggies so much because I think he thinks he is one

Snacks- Karson loves snacks! Goldfish crackers, graham crackers, popcorn and cookies. Dog food would be on this list if I would actually let him eat it! And anytime he wants a bite or a drink of something he says "baa" "baa" it actually does kind of sound like "bite" as he puts his little hand out pointing for whatever it is he wants!

His teddy bear! And when I say teddy bear his teddy bear is bigger then me....he's HUGE! Teddy sits in the rocking chair in his room. Each morning before Karson gets out of his crib I ask him for a kiss (usually he'll give me one! Sometimes he shakes his head no!) and then I ask him if he wants to give teddy a hug and he ALWAYS shakes his head yes for that! So I get him out and he runs to Teddy and then falls on to Teddy and gives him big hugs and sometimes a kiss on the nose! It's SOOO CUTE!!:D

Phones, Cell phones and Remotes~ Karson loves to pack all of these around! If he has the phone he carry's it around holding it up to his ear saying "Hi Dad!" the whole time:) If the phone rings he runs to whoever answers it and screams "Hi Dad!":) Cell phones- he likes to carry around especially if they have music playing! He walks around and dances with it! And remotes he just likes to push the buttons and chew on them! And mess the TV up so Mommy can't watch the TV just him??:)

Outside~ Karson LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being outside. Even if it's not very nice out, that's where he prefers to be! Whether it's just running around on the deck, out in the yard helping dad chop fire wood (wow that's a scary thought!:) playing with the dogs, hunting for Easter eggs, helping Grandma Dawn plant her garden (which we did today,) or riding his favorite trike he loves it all! As long as he's outside he's happy:)

Making people laugh! Karson loves to laugh and he loves to see people laughing!! He makes me laugh all the time without trying but there are times where he does his little "fake laugh" just to make you laugh and it works! He is so silly and he knows it:) What really makes me laugh is when a bunch of adults are sitting around talking/laughing and Karson looks around the room at everyone laughing and chimes in with his little fake laugh like he knows what everyone is laughing about! It's HYSTERICAL!!!:D His laughs and giggles are CONTAGIOUS!! Even if it's his fake laugh you will laugh!

These are a few of his most favorite things! My most favorite thing of course is him! I feel so lucky and blessed that I get to be his Momma. That God picked me to share his life with. To take care of him and to share in his most favorite things.

It's like I always say...... it's amazing, how not long ago I had never met Karson. I have lived most of my life never knowing him. Yet at the same time there are moments where I will cuddle with him and have the strongest feelings that I've known him my entire life. And now with knowing him I can't imagine life without him.

Here's to you Karson "Bubba" Lee Honcoop! Thank you so much for being such a blessing to your Daddy and I. We love you SO much!! And we're excited for what's to come!

Love,

Mommy
