Pittsburgh!!

Kevin and I had a great time as we ventured up to Pittsburgh to check out our new home. We drove all around the city, trying to absorb all of the differences, but we still left stunned and anxious to get in the middle of it all! It is completely different than the West coast, but it will be a fun change! We will keep everyone updated as we figure out where in the world we will live in this place...

Pittsburgh: Our new home!

Road Trip!

It is spring break and our last chance to head up to Nevada for Carson and Connor to see their cousins. Grandma Kuzdas came with us and we had a great time staying at Aunt Tiffany's house (I'm not sure sure Shorty, the dog, could say the same, however). On Saturday Aunt Afton got tickets for us to go to the city egg hunt. It was a free-for-all with the prizes scattered on the field and Carson scored some great loot and had a blast on the jump-a-line slide. Connor was just happy with his goody bag (of course. After the hunt we had a BBQ at Afton & Cam's and then we got a private tour of Uncle Jimmy's fire station. I have never even been inside one, so it was a learning experience for me as well!

We had a fun time and the boys miss all of their cousins, but are glad they got to say good bye before the big move!

Thanks again, everyone!

Don't worry, the girls had their faces painted at the egg hunt!

Yeah, love how Carson is dragging Connor in the picture by his shirt. So much for modesty!

The Future Entymologist

Carson and I were standing in line at the Home Depot when he spotted the spotted bugs. He saw the red spotted ladybugs and had to have them. After we got home, he cut open the bag, got out his bug vacuum and started sucking up as many as he could fit in it. I guess he is a ladies man- a ladybug man, that is.

A Random Act...of Randomness

I have no idea what spawned this idea, but I walk in the bathroom one evening to find this:

Carson later said he had seen a baby on a movie get a bath in the sink and he wanted to try it too. No more Baby Neptune without supervision!

Valentines and Birthdays

Here are just a few cute pictures of our little valentines:

Poor Connor is still smiling even though he is too sore to eat his special breakfast!




Happy Birthday, Daddy! So who's birthday is it anyway? Carson was so excited to share Daddy's birthday that we woke up that morning, wrapped his own present, and then opened it! He also requested a Pablo cake for Daddy (of course).

No more Tonsil-Hockey!

If you have wondered why we have been out of touch during the last week, you can now be assured that we weren't on the beach somewhere, but in fact isolated in a hospital room. Our poor little Connor underwent surgery last week to remove his tonsils and adenoids (I still have no idea what those are). He did amazingly well, especially suffering 10 hours of fasting prior to the surgery. He didn't like the recovery process, however, and must have enjoyed his room in the hospital too much to want to eat or drink and go home. We stayed a little longer than hoped, but eventually the little guy devoured a bag of goldfish crackers and they let us go. He is still very sore and has a difficult time swallowing, but is recovering and starting to regain his spunky little personality.

Before the surgery- being goofy.

Distraction- Bubbles!

Post-surgery: In the cage. This was also the only 30 min that he ever stepped foot in that bed. He had Mama, willingly obliging, hold him every minute of the entire stay...

Soccer Season (part II)

Carson started a new soccer season and has had a great time so far! He enjoys being outside and running around more than anything, but every now and then he gets a kick at the ball!
