This just in!!!

So McKenna is walking short distances. Like from mommy to daddy short but she is still walking. She will be 11 months old tomorrow i can't believe how fast time flies. We were able to get a video of her walking. She sure knows what the good stuff is, we were bribing her with an ice cream bar apparently it worked.

Oh and check out this blog, it is called the Polka-dotdaisy,http://www.thepolka-dotdaisy.blogspot.com/. She has some really cute things on there and she is doing a give away.

Another catch up

Welcome baby Jorgen. This is my brother Jake's new baby. It is their 4th and the 9th grandchild.

He was born on the 23 at 1:11 PM

and was 7lbs. 5 oz and 20.5 in. long. He is such a cutie.

We have had a visitor since last Thursday. Her name is Lu-lu, She is a basset hound-weenier mix. She is very cute but this has made us realize that we are not ready for a dog. It has been fun but we are looking forward to Sunday when our friends come and get her.












McKenna is all over the place and has started to stand on her own in the middle of a room. It is very exciting but also sad, my baby is almost 11months old. The time flies by. She is blowing kisses, says; thank you, hi, bye, ma-ma, pa-pa, da-da, and she has just started saying excuse me.She says lots more and is learning more everyday. She plays peek-a-boo, she loves the dog, and eating or putting the food on her head.
Carson is still just as crazy as ever. If I put a head band on McKenna he wants on one him, I think it is funny Cameron... not so much. We are still working on potty training, he is finally starting to tell me that he need to go 'poopoo'. Before he didn't really seem to get it so this is exciting. We will see how the next couple of weeks go.







Cameron and I start school on the 10th and we are excited and not so excited about it. Cameron got a job at a shop and is still working at speedy, as well as running his business. He is busy but enjoys working on cars.

The love of our Father.

Last night we got a phone call telling us that Cameron's cousin past away. He had been sick for a long time and they just found out that it was cancer, he started chemo but he was to sick for it to work. His name is Jason and he is 15 years old. They have 2 children who are on missions now and one who just received his call last week. All in South America. I believe that they have 6 children.
I laid in bed last night thinking how terrible it would be to lose a child, I can't even imaging how Mary his mother was feeling.
I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have knowing that families are eternal and even though Jason is gone from his family now they will be able to see him again. He is free from his pain and with those who love him and his family who have already passed on.
I love my children and my husband and I am thankful that they are mine for eternity and that Heavenly Father trusts me with them.
I am sorry that this is a bit depressing but I just felt that I should share my feelings.

And the winner is.....

Drum roll please.....
Brandi! Yeah! Wahoo! She guessed two of them and it was Let's go fly a kite from Mary Poppins. He loves that movie and I love listening to him sing.
Anyways Brandi wanted my peanut butter cups and I was happy to make them for her because that means I get to eat some also and they are REALLY yummy. Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law for sharing the recipe.
I should have taken a picture of it so you could see the yummyness!!!! (I know that's not a word but that is what it is.)
Well I have a crying child and a poopy toddler so I need to go but thanks for all those how participated.

Carson

So Carson has been doing actions to songs for quite a long time now but he would never sing besides saying 'beam' when singing Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam . Well he finally started singing a song and I was so excited when he did. So I got a video of it and I want you to let me know if you can guess what song it is. If you can and you are the first person to guess I will send you some cookies or something like that.


Well here you go... good luck!!!


Here are some pictures from the parade on the 4th. Carson was so cute he would stand out there and wait for the candy.


























We did some finger painting a few weeks ago, Carson loved it. This is the finished product. There are more that he did, you can see them on the table in the background. He had paint everywhere, like I said he loved it.
















These 2 owies happened within about 30minutes of each other. Poor boy!!! There is one right below his eye, that happened 1st, and a huge goose egg on his forehead.












He is such a sweet boy. He is always saying please and thank you, I am very grateful that he is my son. He is really into sleeping on the floor right now. We will put him in his bed and we will go in to check on him and McKenna and he will be asleep on the floor. It is really funny. Cameron even put a blanket underneath him to make him more comfy and he put it on his bed because he didn't want to use it. Silly kid.

We moved!!!

So we had this great opportunity to move into a trailer house that is a better deal than the apartment we lived in. It is $100 cheaper, has a dishwasher, washer and dryer hookups which means that we get to use the washer and dryer that have been stored in my parents shed for about a year. Yea!!! It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and big living room and kitchen. We are still working on moving out of our apartment but that should be done soon. It gets a little harder with two children. We have a yard that we have to take care of and Cameron just mowed the lawn. There is a swing set and Carson has been enjoying that and we have good neighbors, we are still in the same ward which is a huge plus because our ward is AMAZING!!!!
Pictures will come soon.

30 years WOW!!!!

On June 1st my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. For those of you who know my family know that my parents have over come many trials. But I believe that their relationship is so much stronger because of what they have been through.




Just to give a little background my parents eloped to Elko Nevada and were married in jeans, t-shirts, and my mom was wearing flip flops. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls temple a little over a year later. They had their first baby 24 days after their 1st anniversary. They are proud parents of 5 children and even prouder grandparents to 8, soon to be nine, grand kids.
I am sure I speak for my whole family when I say that we look up to you, you are the best parents that I could ever ask for. Hope the next 30 years are even better.

I love you two!!!
