flying and flooding

The first week in June Keith's uncle cam into town and took Keith and his dad flying over the Cache valley. It was right when a lot of the flooding was going on at full force. Keith loves to fly and had a total blast! Thanks uncle Steve! Here are a few of the pictures that he took. Kinda crazy how much damage water can do.

Memorial day!

I forgot I had these pictures still on my camera :) It was a very very rainy May and June and it of course rained on memorial day so we played outside anyway! Thanks Miss and Joel for letting us come play at your place! Keith and the kids had a blast on these little plasma/wiggle cars! And Carsen had a blast playing baseball with the kids! We all had fun and got soaked!! I think the only ones not to get wet were Miss, Joel and Laini! It's been a while since I have just played in the rain....so much fun!

Popcorn Popping

Carsen has started loving to hear and sing new songs. It is pretty darn cute! Here is a video of him doing the hand movements to "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot tree!" I LOVE how he mouths the words but is trying so hard to focus on his hand movements....cracks me up!!!

P.S. you have to pause the music on the blog to be able to hear the song :) not that you really want to hear me sing anyway :)
He makes us laugh so hard! I love this little man!!! Thank you Carsen for making our life so much fun!

I  know that this is totally a mom thing but I can't help putting both videos on here they are just a little different and both so cute! The blog is for me anyway right :) ha ha

Thinking

I have been toying with the idea lately of going private. Should I or shouldn't I? What to do?!?! I would love to know all your opinions and pros and cons about it!

I haven't had many comments in months so I just wasn't sure if anyone even looked at it. I mean I still do this for me but it is fun to know when other people are out there :)

thanks :)

Bowling!

We took Carsen bowling for the first time when we had Maci come up to stay with us for a few days to play! We love having Maci here! Carsen thinks she is just the greatest!! We did lots of fun things but this seemed to be the only thing I got pictures of and it was with a phone at that! ugh... oh well :) I should be better about always having my camera with me! We decided to take the kids bowling for family night and we all had a blast! Carsen was totally enthralled that there was yet another sport that he could throw balls :) It happened to be galactic that night and he loved that too because the bowling balls would glow! I LOVE watching him discover new things and get so excited about them! Thanks for coming to play Maci! We love you!!! come up again soon ok :)

p.s. these pics were taken june 3rd 2011

Smile!!

Lately when I ask Carsen to show me his teeth (usually when I am brushing them) he gives me these cutest cheesers! I love it!!! That smile just melts my heart! He has now figured out to say "cheese" when we hold up a camera or a phone! It is pretty hilarious, most of the time he will say cheese but not actually smile, so if I say "let me see your teeth" I usually get a cute little dimple smile! He has got to be the funniest little kid I know! I love love love him!!!!

Mother's day

We had a great weekend! we visited family and went to watch Grandma B walk in the Susan G Komen 5k. We are so proud of her fight against this awful disease! She finished so fast that we didn't get to see her finish but we did get to hang out with them after and have a nice lunch and then have dinner with Grandma T and the rest of the family! It was so nice to see everyone and enjoy time together!! We had a relaxing rest of the weekend at home!
I can't even express how much I am grateful for my mom, my mother in law and for all the mom's in my life! I have so many great examples around me! I cry when I think of how blessed I am! I have so much to be grateful for. I am so thankful to be the mom to the sweetest, most loving and dang cutest little man ever! OK so I know that I am biased, but he is adorable... what can I say :) I love him so much I can't even put into words how much I love him! Thank you Carsen for making me a mommy! I love you so much!
