Christmas

Carson coming downstairs on Christmas morning. He was really excited to see everything! Landon was really cute opening his presents. My parents sent them the cutest presents. They were coconuts that were from their backyard. They cleaned them out and attached a zipper so you could open them up. They filled them with candy, money, and a cute little note. The kids loved them. My parents are so creative!! Carson has been loving all the snow we are getting. He goes out at least once a day if not more. He is such a little snow bunny! This is a little video of Jeremiah and Carson playing in the snow. He loves Jeremiah to throw him around!!

Photo shoot

So while I had the kids all dressed up I decided to take some pictures. It is impossible to get a good picture with a two year old!! These are the best ones.

Remembering......

I was just thinking Christmas the last two years. This will be the first year where Carson has some idea of what is going on. I can't wait!

He was such a chunk!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are so greatful to have good friends. My parents are on a mission in Hawaii and we usually spend Thanksgiving with them. We needed to go check on Cold Stone so our wonderful friends the Varvels invited us to spend the holiday with them. We had such a great time! They are great friends and we are lucky to have them!!

Carson had such a great time playing down in Bailey's playroom. Jeremiah wasn't thrilled about his choice of toys....but Carson was having the time of his life.

Bailey and I played dress up with the boys.:)



This is Carson's way of telling us what he wants because he still isn't talking. He drags us around and points at what he wants.

Trish and I went and saw Twilight and did some shopping. Bailey was a great babysitter and Landon loved her. He was always smiling and laughing at her.

Carson loved Sawyer. He would do something and then look for approval from Sawyer. It was too funny! They enjoyed watching Backyardigans together. I am not sure who was more entertained...Carson or Sawyer.:)


Bailey loved taking pictures of Jeremiah sleeping...by the looks of it...he loved it too.

Mark and Tricia showing us their yummy dessert pizza. Thanks guys!

We went out for pizza Saturday night. It was yummy!



I love this picture of Sawyer. He is such a funny kid. They have the best kids and I can only hope that mine will turn out half as good.

The post would not be complete without a picture of Jeremiah's favorite member of the Varvel family. They have one of those love hate relationships. Thanks again for the great weekend of food, fun, and games. We love you guys and are thankful for your friendship!

Snow Day

We got a ton of snow last night so Carson and I went outside to play.
He doesn't have snow pants and I can't find his winter coat so he is just wearing whatever I could find...but it worked just fine.

He had such a great time.

He helped roll the snow for the snowman. Then when we were putting on the face he was freaking out! It was cold but we had a great time!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We had a great Halloween. It was so much fun to have Carson old enough for Halloween this year. We went to Trunk or Treat at our church. It only took him 2 or 3 cars to get the hang of it. If he had to wait in line for any of the candy he would just start taking it from the bucket of the kid standing in front of him. He was cracking me up. It was no nonsense. He was there only for candy. Everyone would try to talk to him but he didn't care. We got to this one car and there were two ladies and one guy. They were sitting there talking and the lady on the right had a bowl of candy. Carson bypassed the candy and went straight to the second lady. He was chattering to her and telling her who knows what. Then he tried to kiss her. If anyone knows Carson, he is not the most social kid. We were tripping out and couldn't figure out why he kept trying to get this lady to kiss him. Then she looked up at me and she looked just like my mom. We then realized that he probably thought it was his Nana. It was the sweetest thing. The lady thought he was so sweet. It made me happy to know that he won't forget my parents while they are gone.

Tagged

I have been tagged. You go to your picture folder and post the fourth picture and tell the story.
This is from when my brother Dustin came home from his mission. We made shirts that said "Team Duzzy" ( it was during the whole Angelina and Brad thing...there were shirts that said "Team Aniston") anyway...we wore them to the airport when he came home. The boys wouldn't wear them so my sisters and I and all the nephews and nieces did. It was fun! I tag Katie, Lyndsey, and Tricia.

My little policeman

This weekend Jeremiah and I went to Idaho Falls to check on Cold Stone. Jenny and Phil were nice enough to take the kids over night. Bodie is going to be a police officer for Halloween. They dressed Landon up in his hat and sunglasses. These pictures crack me up!! Thanks again Capells for watching the kids!!!!

Silver Lake

Jenny got a new camera and took some pictures. Some of them are from Silver Lake and the others were just about a mile from our house. I am loving the stage that Landon is in right now. He is so much fun. Carson is fun too...he just has his own agenda.:)
