The Carstens Family: May 2008
http://thecarstensfamily.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 15, 2008. Ryan watched Alahna Saturday night while I did a MNO (mommy's night out) with some of the ladies from Alahna's play group. Little did I know they were wrapping my Mother's Day present! I woke up Sunday morning to Alahna playing in her crib and when I walked into her room saw the presents laying on top of her changing table. It was so sweet! Alahna sat in my lap as we called Ry on speaker phone (he had to work) and opened the presents! This is what we opened:. Our friends son, Jaco...

The Carstens Family: Splash Pad Fun
http://thecarstensfamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/splash-pad-fun.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2008. I grew up in Hawaii where all we had is the beach (note my sarcasm? Well now that I live in the desert, and it so super hot here, we have to find ways to stay cool in the summer. They have these places called "Splash Pads" with water features for the kids to run through. Alahna LOVES them and has a blast every time we go. Here are a few pictures from our last trip to one. Posted by The Carstens Family. Ok you havent updated in like a month. i want more! October 6, 2008 at 6:52 PM.

Mommy Musings: Now, that's what I call toxic gas!
http://mommy-musing.blogspot.com/2009/09/now-thats-what-i-call-toxic-gas.html
Tuesday, September 08, 2009. Now, that's what I call toxic gas! Background: Noah, sweet Noah.such a lovable, snuggly little man with a smile that lights up the room (and mommy's heart). But sweet Noah is not at all interested in potty training. In further checking out the situation, we noticed that not only had Noah been playing in the corner, he had been creating QUITE the masterpiece in his diaper. We all began to wonder.could his stinky diaper have actually caused the gas alarm to go off?

Mommy Musings: October 2008
http://mommy-musing.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. This was just one of those little "Graceisms" I don't want to forget! The scene: My mom and dad's house. We're all just lounging around and chatting. My mom: Hola Grace! Do you know what hola means? It means you're eating at the quesadilla house! Her name for the Mexican restaurant). Monday, October 20, 2008. I can't believe it. My FIRST baby is a TEENAGER. How did that happen? And 21 inches long. He was healthy and screaming and we went home a couple of days later. Follow-throu...

Mommy Musings: October 2009

Tuesday, October 06, 2009. How Lydia Got Her Name. Since I had posted about the name Sophia and why we were going to name the baby that, I thought I should add an entry about how and why we changed it. It had never been on my name list before and wasn't really a name I'd ever really thought about. But it absolutely felt right and had the beautiful, classic girly qualities I like in a girl's name. She is almost 3 weeks old now and I must say, her name is a perfect fit! Saturday, October 03, 2009.

http://mommy-musing.blogspot.com/2009/08/aaron-and-i-discussed-it-and.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Aaron and I discussed it and. You know how I love biblical names (even though none of my children actually have one- yet! Well, there seems to be a theme with my younger kids. Grace, while not a name of a person in the Bible, means the grace of God, her middle name Elisabeth (spelled that way) is Biblical. Noahs whole name is Biblical (middle name Aaron). So, it seems fitting that we follow the trend. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Aaron and I discussed it and.

Thursday, September 25, 2008. Never mind, let's go to Target," I replied. :). My mom wall has changed my life (not to mention my reputation with the teachers). First. And MOST important to me) is the large white board calendar that I actually do use.

Mommy Musings: August 2009
http://mommy-musing.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Aaron and I discussed it and. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. When she grows up. Grace wants to be a medicine-giver-outer (aka pharmacist). I thought I'd document that for her, so she'll know what her first career aspiration was. Why the interest in being a pharmacist when most kids her age want to be a fireman or ballerina you ask? For the record, when Tyler was Grace's age, he wanted to be a calculator. I love these kiddos! Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Today...

Mommy Musings: January 2009

Wednesday, January 07, 2009. Our Very Happy Holidays! Whew, it seems like the month of December is always the fastest moving month of the year. We all had a great Christmas and I wanted to get it all down before I forget. After a week or two, even NOAH would get up and the morning and say "Where Spah-kle? Sadly, Sparkle had to report back to the North Pole until the day after Thanksgiving 2009. We all REALLY missed him for a couple of days after he left. Christmas day we did our own family exchange and A...
