Back in September, Carson and I were discussing options for Halloween. He just didn't love any of my suggestions so we poured over every costume catalog and website we could find in search of this year's disguise. After a brief run through Target I finally had him convinced to be a tough-looking firefighter: very manly. Victory! I had a costume.
We were walking through the isle to make our purchase and that is when he saw it. THE costume. In the TODDLER isle, no less - Pablo the penguin from the Backyardigans. Anyone who has been around Carson this past month knows that he refers to himself as Pablo (the old ladies in the grocery stores probably think I am crazy naming my toe-head son Pablo, but he continues to respond as such to any question of "what's your name?")
So, being the fabulous mother that I am (no comments, please), I have sacrificed my own personal feelings and have happily let my sweetheart jump for joy at wearing Pablo, the-too-tight-because-it-was-meant-for-toddlers, the penguin costume.
Connor had no say in his costume whatsoever, so he was happy to be a spider.
Now, enjoy the photos!
Pablo, the Penguin.
Not all spiders are scary!
He actually wore the hat!
Our first family photo since Connor was born. How sad!

Love it, it amazes me how picky children can be about how they dress, look at it this way he is going to love this story when he gets older. Ditto on the family picture, we didn't get one till Schnepf Farms except for us leaving the hospital ( gag). So glad to finally see a picture of you posted, you look fantastic.
He looks great as Pablo! Elisa also didn't want to be what I wanted her to be, and to top it off, she decided what everyone was going to be this year. She was especially upset at her Daddy (Marc) for not dressing up...She wanted him to be a monster. Kids are funny! I love the family pic of you guys - so sweet.
Oh my gosh Jenn, Mike and I are DYING laughing, that is so hilarious. You definitely win mother of the year because I know I would steer Brooklyn in a different direction! Love the family picture, your hair has gotten so long, I love it!
Jennifer! This is Becky Porter (way back from El Dorado Ward). :) I found your blog through Natalie Evans and just wanted to say hi. Oh, and tell Kevin congrats on medical school--that's awesome! It looks like your family is doing well. It was great to read up on what you're been doing.
I LOVE that you gave in and let Carson dress up as Pablo... you know, that show has some pretty catchy tunes, I don't blame him. :) The little boy I tended last Spring dressed up as Pablo last year...it's a craze! I'm glad to finally see a picture of the posting author on this blog too! Cute family! :)
I know if only we could pick their costumes, but we have to let them do it. I love the spider costume though, that is so cute. It's fun when they are too little to pick their own. Enjoy it while it lasts.
That is hilarious! I haven't hit the stage where my kids HAVE to pick out their own costumes (thank heavens). I am sure we will be going through some fun next year however! Looks like you guys are doing good. I love your blonde hair.... so cute!

Kids are so funny! None the less, Carson was super cute, and that's all the counts. Your family is so cute. So when do you get to start your new adventure at med school?
Hey Jennifer, this is Courtney Juber from those crazy high school days. I found you through Melissa's Blog and wanted to say Hey girly. Your fam is adorable and congrats on your hubby making med school. Good Luck!

Hi Kevin and Jen!! How the heck are you guys?!? I found your blog when I was looking at Greg and Melissa Evans blog. I have one too!! www.lindsaylevi.blogspot.com
BYU-Hawaii is awesome! I'm so glad I'm here, yet I can't wait to be done with school!! I graduate with my B.S. in Accounting December 2008. One year left!! I'm currently dating, but nothing serious. Just having fun :)
Your boys are darling! Carson is quite the character. Aren't they so much fun at that age? Tell Kevin CONGRATS on getting into medical school. That is awesome.
Well, keep in touch. I will definitely be looking at your blog from time to time.
Love ya!!
I thought his name was Pablo...It didn't look too bad and that is a story he will laugh at when he gets older. I love the family photo:)
