Been awhile since posting

Been too long since posting. Boys have been keeping us way too busy. Here's the boys with Santa.

Under a Dyl Moon

Under a Dyl Moon, originally uploaded by charcarson.

Dylan looks good as the man in the moon.

Childproof Jail!

Chaz was a little upset today... do I console him or photograph him???

Another Day Older... Another Day Wiser (Happy Birthday Dana)

Dana's Birthday! Dylan's message is above. Chaz is wise to say nothing for now.

Photostrips in Photoshop

I love the old photobooths... so I thought I'd make some photobooth stuff in photoshop.

Chaz Surfing?

Photoshop idea from Dana's sister.

Dylan has Rice Cereal for the First time!

Dyl's now having rice cereal at night. It's made him sleep a bit better so far.

Chaz on the Waterslide

At our gym, they have an outdoor family pool. Chaz gets a kick out of it. On Monday, we decided to allow him to go on the slide.

The family goes to the game (well, the alumni club)

The family joined the Phoenix 'SC Alumni club to watch the 'SC/Nebraska game. Dyl and Chaz were pretty good, although Dylan got scared by the cheering. Chaz just looked around wondering what all the racket was about.

Some folks got high fives from Chaz. We left at half-time so the boys could eat and go to bed.

Notice how the boys have their game faces on while Dad is smiling. They know how serious this can be!

Chaz's pool skills

Chaz showing off his pool skills.

Dylan... the Villain (Comic)

Hmmm... some things I can't explain well but I'll try. First, I rhymed Dylan and villain sometime this weekend. I haven't been able to get that out of my mind.

Second, I saw the last photo in this comic and I saw a kind of Dr. Evil thing going. I based the whole thing on that last photo.

I hoped that Dyl laughing in the title frame of the photo kinda put the farce in this.

Double click the comic to see it more clearly.

Dylan Update

The boy slept through the night tonight. His mother's health due to the shock is still questionable.

Chaz Jumping

When you say "jump", Chaz says "How high?"

Video of Chaz at the Beach

Thought I should add a video of Chaz when he was visiting Grandma and Grandpa Carson

California Dreamin'

We had a couple day vacation and visited Charlie's parents.

The boys had their first plane flight




See that small prop plane in the background? We took it to Carlsbad, CA. About a 1 1/4 hour flight. The good news is the boys were excellent. We got compliments from the other passengers about them.

Uncle Glen finally got to see Dylan. Chaz had a blast in the surf. Just like the pool, he doesn't fear the water (which is not a good thing, btw). Last year he cried at first when he was at the water's edge. This year, he laughed as he shivered and then proceeded to go into the water until knocked over.

Grandpa Carson entertained Chaz by playing with him and even seemed to handle Dylan with skill (although he did have to call in Grandma to help on occasion).

Chaz made a new friend, Luke... who took him to the local swimming hole so that Chaz wouldn't lose his form.

Dylan also laughed for the first time during the trip.

All in all it was a good break.

Dylan Getting Help from Chaz

Here's some video similar to what I saw yesterday.

My little helper Chaz

So today Dylan starts crying while I'm in the other room. While walking into the room, I see Chaz giving Dylan his pacifier... guess Chaz wanted to help his brother (or quiet him down).

Chaz getting into another jam

This boy just loves to get himself in a pickle.

Happy 4th of July!
