After pics, my Sister Heidi hosted our Family Chrismas Party.

It was a blast, we played "Minute To Win It", the kids acted out the nativity (adorable!),

the kids opened their gifts from each other {more on that later ;)}. And we ate and ate and ate some more,

my sister is a wonderful cook!

Merry Christmas ALL!

Fun Day :)

The day of family pics and the family Christmas party

I took these two kiddos and headed out for a little fun (also so my sister could put the finishing touches on the house and dinner).

3-D/Glow-in-the-dark mini golf

Best cousins... They love each other.

They are just over 2 years apart.

 My boy!

 I love my TaeTae

 Taelynn wanted her picture with Dorothy 

 Bumper cars (Tae's driving one too, somewhere)

Carson played lazer tag, Tae was going to but changed her mind when they played the video of what to do. It had a dark/sci-fi feel to it... I didn't blame her, I wouldn't have wanted to either. 

Good, good kids! Love you guys xoxoxo!

Happy {2nd} Birthday Bryce!

Two years ago today, this lovely child was born...

I absolutely adore this child!

This picture was taken at the rodeo,

Iron County Fair in September.

Bryce is the perfect baby, here's why:

Sleeps like an Angel, put him in his crib with Rhino

and he doesn't make a peep till morning.

Has a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

Goes with the flow and he's happy with whoever he is with.

SMART! This baby can read, yes r.e.a.d. read!

He has watched Your Baby Can Read since birth.

His Mommy is a Master Teacher and works with him,

right now he is learning his x2's, yes his times tables!

He loves his Aunt Bub.

Everyone goes home...

... for the Fair
Carson and Grandpa ~ at the Chicken Judging

Carson gets either chicken's, duck's or a rabbit every Spring. He takes care of them when he visit's G-ma and G-pa 

Dad, Mom and Carson

Three 1st place ribbons and one 2nd

(2nd only because two of his chickens were competing against each other)

Tara and Isabelle

Adi, Junior and Taelynn

Junior (I think, he and Carson look so much alike, it's hard to tell ;).)

The kids liked these hamster balls... me, not so much!!! I'm a gremaphobe, NASTY!

Me and my nephew Bryce

My Sis-in-law Erica, Bryce, my Brother Curt, my Carson, my Dad

Ashley's Quilt {Pink, Black & White}

Several (~5) years ago I re-did Ashley's room before she came to visit for the summer.

We were in Utah visiting, I took it to her :0).

She was happy!

I gotta go through old pics and find some of it on her bed.

Carson's Baptism Day

March 19, 2011

{Carson's Baptism Day}

My Mormon Boy

 Brother Kory Burgess and Carson

(Grandee made Carson this towel. She embroidered "CTR" and "Carson" on a white towel, Grandee has also made one for Carson's little friend Arie Beck when she was baptised in December)

 Carson was getting a little silly and sick of having his picture taken by this point...

 Brother Burgess is a very good man. He is a member of our Bishopric. 

 The Family :)

 Refreshments, cream puffs, mini eclaires and sugar cookies. Mmm...

 Carson's very own scriptures

 opening his package from Aunt Heidi and Uncle Kendall (thank you!)

Carson and I read 1st Nephi from his new scriptures at bedtime. When I tucked him into bed, I asked him how he felt. he said "HAPPY!"  Carson is absolutely beaming....

Carson, may you always remember how you feel today!

Today was an AMAZING day... Thank you Heavenly Father!
