Our little Baplic!

Mommy, Daddy, and Carson

The Sims

The Stewarts

Morgan, Josh & Wesley Rakestraw; Johnathan, Cindy, & Carson Sims; Alisha, Matt & Hutch Collins; and Lindsey, John & Walker Rakestraw

So, as many of you know, we had Carson Baptized in the Catholic church back in February. But...to cover all the bases, we had him dedicated in the Baptist church yesterday. Johnathan is a member at First Baptist of Dallas, so we wanted to introduce Carson to the Baptist faith as well. We had a wonderful day, shared with family and friends! Our good friends The Rakestraw's (x2...brother's Josh & John) and The Collins' had their boys dedicated as well, so it was truly a special moment for our family!!

May Madness

Mommy, Daddy, and Cman at the G Braves game

We have been doing a lot lately, but haven't had our camera present to record much!!! The first weekend in May was the annual JWR Cattle Sale at the Rakestraw's farm. This was our first year attending and we had a lot of fun! They had a dinner on Friday night and the cattle auction on Saturday. Mommy and Carson went to "Aunt" Amanda's baby shower on Saturday morning and missed the auction, but we loved being at the baby shower! We cannot wait for Miss Emmeline Elizabeth Ayres to be here!
This past weekend we loaded up and headed out to Gwinnett for the G-Braves game. It was SO much fun! We went with the Hauert/Beckman clan and ended up seeing the Hullinger/Peavyhouse clan there as well! We all lounged out on the Berm and the kids got to run/roll around to their delight!! On Sunday, we celebrated my first Mother's Day! We met up with my side of the family at ONE Midtown Kitchen for brunch and ate really yummy food!! Johnathan let me sleep in that morning and I also got to take a 2 hour nap that afternoon! That was the best present!!!
In other news...we are SO happy that we have found a babysitter to come to our house twice a week while I go to school. I am taking my last class for the Medical Transcription program and I cannot wait to be done!! This class requires that I go to campus, so childcare became an issue for us! We are so lucky to have found someone close by, who is so good with kids! Carson LOVES Miss Danielle!! I'll have to take a picture of them and post it!
