Potty Training

It's time for the "Big Boy Potty" at the Carlson house. Here are a couple of pictures to commemorate the ordeal.

A Day Out With Thomas

On Saturday, we drove to Fremont to see Thomas. William was alternately thrilled and scared.

• Seeing "Big Thomas" - Thrilled!
• Sir Topham hat - Scared! (wouldn't be in the picture)
• Story Time - Thrilled!
• Thomas bounce house - Scared!

Maddy was a trooper even though Thomas isn't really her thing. 

Sun Valley

The kids and I took a quick trip to Sun Valley with Grandma Jen and Grandpa Ken. Unfortunately, JP didn't get to come because he was in Africa. 

William Sings Veggie Tales

William has a few obsessions right now - Thomas the Tank Engine, Elmo, and Veggie Tales. Here is a video of him singing the Veggie Tales theme song. 

Playing in the Leaves

It was cold in Nebraska today, but JP still made it outside to rake up all the leaves. Then Maddy and William had a great time messing up his piles!

We had a great time in Sun Valley with Gramma Jen, Grampa Ken, the Aunties (Kathryn and Gretchen) and the Uncles (Josh and Todd)!

The "big kids" get ready for a night on the town. Gotta love JP's shirt!
