She was born on November 3rd at 7:53 pm. She weighed in at 6lbs even and 19 inches long. She is two months old today and I can not believe it. The time has just went so fast. I always have elderly couples stop me when I am running around places (usually Sam's Club) about to kill a kid or two and they tell me "Oh enjoy this time, it just goes so fast..... and then they go into a long story of how they remember when their kids were young and running around, and by the time they are done telling me their stories, my kids are no where to be seen and then I get a page over the intercom to come and retrieve a lost child at the service desk. Or the other one I always get is "Oh boy I sure wish I had their energy." And I think to myself, oh yeah, I'll give you their energy when I ring it out of them. Now I love all of my children dearly, and yes I know how I got them all, but there are some days that I wonder if I will make it to my next birthday or they will make it to theirs. But that sure was a long tangent when I was trying to talk about cute baby Hailey. So with all of that, here she is..... She is a wonderful baby. She is very mellow and loves to sleep. She sleeps very well at night, it's about time I got a baby who sleeps. She usually only wakes up once to eat. She know that for us all to survive, mommy has to get some sleep. I am trying to enjoy this newborn stage knowing that this is the last time, but man with five kids, there isn't much time to enjoy. So I guess I need to take all the elderly couples advice and enjoy this time because it goes so fast. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdPEsK5Pi8J6JcFFDHmPKnJfaxyefEVqcSWBgc0SmP0Rq-0FYoQm3jDmmb284J4IBPlfO7fGY3IjbqOYj6Xh95fzR7xYyIELfBOIyQvJoXsTMjEhCw0raNTFQ_uea8cMLKwWD_Ju1H2s/s1600/DSC_0754.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdPEsK5Pi8J6JcFFDHmPKnJfaxyefEVqcSWBgc0SmP0Rq-0FYoQm3jDmmb284J4IBPlfO7fGY3IjbqOYj6Xh95fzR7xYyIELfBOIyQvJoXsTMjEhCw0raNTFQ_uea8cMLKwWD_Ju1H2s/s400/DSC_0754.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558182736476094210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9Q7BuW6ch1E6Tm1kupvt2XzIUdhwELrkVEORyIW004_gQCxTigJ5tFBUPFmbzMcOMsxy4o08MOqRkPudOao2J1xss0zwWGPy6eUVO8GeY3alXPmhG8BpoYYAC8iHWcRMYPHEtvO2Pek/s1600/DSC_0756.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9Q7BuW6ch1E6Tm1kupvt2XzIUdhwELrkVEORyIW004_gQCxTigJ5tFBUPFmbzMcOMsxy4o08MOqRkPudOao2J1xss0zwWGPy6eUVO8GeY3alXPmhG8BpoYYAC8iHWcRMYPHEtvO2Pek/s400/DSC_0756.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558182730526936514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNH9J-6_cU-KqpU3txd-2yra77zLSyfneF0zouLbg2ebwiZsDnIGIE6GlgJy8khHKEq5QADu8cYVzRKDvDAO0cRi-NSbmk9Iwjjp6XJZXWfWEl7vZXB8WwFzYj-Q23j5TKmKYB8WjfSU/s1600/DSC_0846.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNH9J-6_cU-KqpU3txd-2yra77zLSyfneF0zouLbg2ebwiZsDnIGIE6GlgJy8khHKEq5QADu8cYVzRKDvDAO0cRi-NSbmk9Iwjjp6XJZXWfWEl7vZXB8WwFzYj-Q23j5TKmKYB8WjfSU/s400/DSC_0846.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558182726655712594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4gXslhKjl429bGBedEgGRnfzYSH3apA5rIwCTDIrLXo0xHva3_2aDQXaxWYkfpAeU0ck2hcrJ8DgiK-S3LjTxG1Rj4z49LVsaeDtCAPuQ5f4ZtjUroyOPG-d4bXhlktHbgvvdbb_j-Cw/s1600/DSC_0798.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4gXslhKjl429bGBedEgGRnfzYSH3apA5rIwCTDIrLXo0xHva3_2aDQXaxWYkfpAeU0ck2hcrJ8DgiK-S3LjTxG1Rj4z49LVsaeDtCAPuQ5f4ZtjUroyOPG-d4bXhlktHbgvvdbb_j-Cw/s400/DSC_0798.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558182717526903954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWc_asUQa4DXkRxZIbOJlm3vBHRl1qp2zpBJn-lXrtITO7oHIWSHCgR3M47TDGoNdepsp3VtHt_V8Je4OUBpSaYK5BMGivd_34Dw8t0XNdemqEupkzWoUKrmVeJqX9aW6fp8WYfAcMgG8/s1600/DSC_0800.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWc_asUQa4DXkRxZIbOJlm3vBHRl1qp2zpBJn-lXrtITO7oHIWSHCgR3M47TDGoNdepsp3VtHt_V8Je4OUBpSaYK5BMGivd_34Dw8t0XNdemqEupkzWoUKrmVeJqX9aW6fp8WYfAcMgG8/s400/DSC_0800.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558182712472312706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij2lUQ3YufdCluVU-mrYJJdDnlpBFQqhNg2rVA2fFulJz4O4dl6tP0HaXZtGzrEpZUaADCGoniwmP0p6T0SXvOiBGYxtsgAzoF77CQIdNZ01DZz84BGc2F2fhy8v1p1GJBWRDBAsQicNM/s1600/DSC_0733.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij2lUQ3YufdCluVU-mrYJJdDnlpBFQqhNg2rVA2fFulJz4O4dl6tP0HaXZtGzrEpZUaADCGoniwmP0p6T0SXvOiBGYxtsgAzoF77CQIdNZ01DZz84BGc2F2fhy8v1p1GJBWRDBAsQicNM/s400/DSC_0733.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558180588016836050" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I couldn't believe all of her hair when she was born.

Jonathan went downstairs and said "Are you watching Tinkerbell?" I proceeded to yell downstairs that it was fine, he could watch it. There was nothing wrong with Tinkerbell. Then a few minutes later Ryan finished dinner and went down the stairs, while he is walking down, Jonathan says, "Ryan, Miles is watching Tinkerbell." Ryan's response was "That is ok Jonathan for boys to watch Tinkerbell. Some boys are fairies. " Meaning that the tinkerbell show had some fairies that were male. It just made me laugh. Maybe we need to watch some more girlie shows at our house.<br />Then this morning getting ready for school, Jonathan and Blake were struggling over a book. And Jonathan says "Hey look we are playing," and Ryan says "No thats called fighting." Then Blake scratches Jonathan on the face and J says, "No, now that is fighting." I just have to laugh at the crazy things they do and say everyday. Love it! There is really never a dull moment around here.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-43184636179102841832010-04-12T20:03:00.001-07:002010-04-12T20:26:10.097-07:00Enough is Enough!<u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u><br />Alright I think I have tortured everyone long enough with my white legs and my "way to short hair" So I am finally writing a post (for the second time, I might add) I had a really funny post and blogger did something to it, so this is the second time posting it and now I'm tired.

But for starters, I have the most awesome husband in the world (sorry ladies) He is absolutely amazing and I never could have accomplished this life long goal without him. The last 18 weeks have been a lot of work and he has done so much. Always watching the boys, running ice baths, making me eggs and being so supportive. I love ya babe! Second, My Mom and Dad are the best parents ever! (sorry everyone) They have been so interested and excited from the very beginning. My mom told me that she would be supportive of anyone who even thought about running 26 miles. They helped me so much and financially made it possible for me to do this. Thanks Mom and Dad!!! Thanks to everyone who came to the race and fought traffic and people to help support me, it really means the world to me. </div><br /><br /><br /><div>Now the big day. I woke up at 3:30 even though the alarm did not go off until 4:30. I nursed Blakers one last time and said a huge prayer that he would be okay. I got up, put on sunscreen and aquaphor (to prevent chaffing) and got dressed. I wanted to run in shorts and a tank top, but the race started at the top of a canyon and so I dressed in my outfit and then put pants and a sweatshirt over the top, so I wouldn't freeze in the canyon. I then put on my number and my chip timer that went around my ankle. My dad got up at 5:00 to help me and make me breakfast. It was so awesome. I got choked up saying bye to him and then I went out to get into the car and my neighbor had made me a good luck sign and balloons. another tear jerker. After I had made sure I ate and had everything ready to go, MD drove me down to the park, where I had to load a school bus to go to the starting line. I got to the park at 5:30 and waited for a half hour to load the bus. It was so fun to watch everyone and see all sorts of people. This is where it would of been so nice to have someone with me, to be able to talk and enjoy it all with. When we got to Hardware ranch (40 mins later) Everyone was standing in line for the porta poddies. There were at least 30 of them and a ton of people. While in line, the buses were leaving and they were taking all the clothes, so I had to get into my shorts and long tshirt and it was freezing!! Low 30s. Then the gun went off while I was still in the bathroom line, I started to panic and someone said it was the wheelchair gun. So I hurried and went to the bathroom and I was coming down the hill, and the starting gun went off. It was so neat to be up above and see the whole sea of people start to move. So I ran down and stood to the side of the start line and fixed my ipod, turned on my watch, took a deep breath, and jumped in and ran across the starting line. (the race is timed on the chip timers and so my time didn't start until I ran across the line, even though it was about two minute after the gun went off.) It was still dark out and the sun was just coming up behind us and it was so amazing. I loved running in the crowd of people and listening to everyone and just the excitement I had was so overwhelming. The hard part is to not start out to fast because I didn't want to die at the end, but I just started picking people out who were about my same pace and watching for them. The first aid station was at mile 3 and it came so fast I couldn't believe it. I finally ditched my gloves and longsleeve shirt at mile 7 and that was like taking off a sweaty five pound weight. We ran in the canyon for the first 14 miles and no spectators were allowed in the canyon, so it was just runners. The canyon was so beautiful, it was just changing for fall and all of the beautiful colors were starting to show on the trees. It was very serene and nice. Then the wind started to pick up at our backs towards the mouth of the canyon and push me and that was a nice boost. When I reached mile 13, I was there at 2hours 10 minutes and I couldn't believe it. I was like ok I am already halfway, let's do this. I still had tons of energy and I felt awesome! When I came out of the canyon the whole street was lined with people yelling, and cheering and it was so great. It really was so nice to have people cheering. I was coming up on mile 17 and I saw a kid who looked like Miles, then I thought it wasn't Miles and then that it was(he was carrying a huge stick so I knew it was him) and then I saw ryan trailing along and then Mark, Jonathan and my dad. I was able to say hi and good to see you as I ran by. It was so great to see them and it gave me a great boost. I still felt really good and I was really happy with how it was going. I couldn't believe how fast it was going by, they had mile markers and it really just broke up the race by helping me tell myself to make it to 18 and 19 and so on. I saw the boys, my dad, and mark a little after Mile 20, and this is when I was entering uncharterted territory. I had only trained up to 20 and that was a hard run, but at a little after 20 I still felt pretty good. I only had 6 to go and I was going to make it. I ran passed my friend tessa, who had rode her bike on every long run, and I told her she should of rode in this one. I kept waiting to hit the well known wall, and it wasn't coming, I hit mile 23 and I was tired, but my body felt good, my knees and hips werent hurting at all and that was so nice. Everyone was starting to walk a ton at this point and I knew if I did I wouldn't start again, so I was weaving in and out of all the people. My Dad and my sister Becky were at mile 24 and I wasn't so talkative then, I was only able to muster up a smile and that was about it. This is where I had to start talking to myself and saying that the pain would only be a minute but the memory of this race would be forever. I finally came to the 26 mile marker and I had to turn the corner to finish the last two/tenths of the race. The street is lined with people and the big finish line thing is there, I could hear all of my family and friends cheering and I saw mark's red shirt out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't even turn and look because it was all I could muster to keep myself going. I gave it my all and finished in 4 hours and 27 minutes and I didn't walk once!! When you go over the finish line the announcer tells your name and that was cool to hear my name called. You walk down the runners chute and they take off your timer and put a medal on you and then send you for a picture, and I am sure that one will look great! Then you walk into a runners area that has tons of gatorade, water, chocolate milk cheese, crakers, fruit and then I saw the fat boy's so I took three ( I only got a few bites, because my boys ate the rest, of course!) I waited in the runners area until MD came and found me and I went out to see my family. I felt so good, I felt so happy and it was the sixth most memorable, amazing day of my life! I can't believe I did it, I accomplished something I have wanted to do my entire life and I can't wait to do it again!!</div></div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-17691980186922873122009-09-14T15:37:00.000-07:002009-09-14T15:59:37.429-07:00About Time...I was going through my journals a few sunday's ago and I realized, I haven't written in them since two months before I got married. OOPS! I guess I am going to have to rely on memory for the last nine years. So with that on my brain, I figured I would post a little for posterity about a memorable time to me. <br />I am running 26.2 miles on Saturday in my first Marathon and I have a little anxiety of the whole thing. I ran 20 miles three weeks ago and I was able to complete it in about 3 hours and 20 minutes, and I didn't have to walk at all. That will hopefully keep me in my time goal for the marathon. This is the highest mileage that I will go in my training. So the last 6.2 have me a little nervous. Luckily that will be when there are a lot of people around to help motivate me. I have to remember that my body is ready, it better be, I have had 18 weeks of 25-40 miles a week, I hope that I can pull out the mental toughness. When I ran 20 the first 15 miles of the run went fairly well and then my body just started to get really tired. About Mile 18 my legs were really aching and I was starting to lose it mentally. My friend who rides her bike with me, was soooo helpful and kept me going. I was a little disappointed because two weeks before I had ran 19 in the pouring rain and I had an awesome run but I guess there are good runs and bad runs and I hope Saturday is a good one. Too bad I won't have anyone with me on Saturday, just the ipod. When I finished the 20. I was so happy and relieved to have it done. And it felt great to know that I could do it. Mark tells me " come on you've run 20 what is another 6.2, and then he goes oh yeah, six miles is far!!" So this will be where I define myself, and show what I am made of. This is a dream/goal I have had my entire life, so I am so excited to see what comes of it. My Mom and Dad will be coming from Wyoming (since they have been the marathon sponsors) and my two sisters and one brother and mark's sisters family, it will be so nice to have a lot of support. Thank you everyone, it means so much to me!! <br />My big fear is leaving Blake for so long, I have to leave around 5:15 and I probably won't get to him until noon. I have been trying to cut back the nursing but I think he is on to me and he wants to nurse 24/7. But I know MD is very capable and with my family here they can deal with a grumpy Blake. Miles keeps asking me what I am going to get when I win. I keep telling him that I am not going to win, my goal is to finish and then I will get a medal. He keeps going, "Oh mom, you will probably win a lot of money, maybe you should start running a lot to make money." Oh the determination of children and the belief that you can do anything. Thanks Mi! I will be posting more this week because I want to document this event somewhere and since the journals aren't cutting it this will have to do.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-37254986982006017992009-08-24T13:49:00.001-07:002009-08-24T13:51:54.031-07:00Hey Alex....<div align="center">This one is for you, Alex!!!

On his actual birthday, I was in Wyoming with my parents and so Mark didn't get to celebrate Blakes birthday with us. So we did another party in Logan for his birthday with Becky and Shane and the gang. I am always up for a party and Blake sure enjoyed it. I didn't get to throw my big first birthday bash for Blake this year, so I am still going to do his big Luau next summer, so Mark got off the hook for having to cook a pig this summer, but that just gives me another year, to make it all the more magnificent! (and think of some more fun things for Mark to do!!!) </div><div>Well my baby is now one and I can't believe it. The time goes so fast and he is so amazing. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. We all love his personality and how he just adores all of his brothers. He has started to talk and I love this stage, he says ball, more, and the boys all say he can call them by name, yeah I know it is amazing to hear him say Jonathan! He is not walking on his own yet, and that shows that he will be a very obedient son, because I have been telling him all along to take his time and he is doing just that. What a good boy! We love you Blake!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-18224963357641831592009-08-21T12:20:00.001-07:002009-08-21T12:53:43.888-07:00Miles is a 2nd Grader!<span style="color:#0066cc;"><span style="color:#000000;">Miles started second grade on Thursday August 20th. He was so excited to go back to school and be the big second graders at school. Miles' school is only K-2nd, so he is the big man on campus this year. Everyone was ready to go to school and were very sad when they didn't get to go. Ryan does not start until next Thursday and Jonathan goes after Labor day. So the next few weeks are full of "do I go to school today?" Miles really loves his new teacher and had some of the same kids from last year in his class. I am so proud of him and I can't believe how big he is getting.</span> </span><br /><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u><br /><div align="center"><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOcFA35NRVFD4TVEzSuOdq1N0vxBmqAX8B2DyhIyQDWdr2ReTTsTRTbCvbDbgQKR5pbHDr_xfFLdzlHqIkLZub9pKZio7U39ERFRE97NSv9AVcTYuNYTtKK_PUk1YXe6HPzf26di9Q6c/s1600-h/DSC_0809.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372505240340986338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHOcFA35NRVFD4TVEzSuOdq1N0vxBmqAX8B2DyhIyQDWdr2ReTTsTRTbCvbDbgQKR5pbHDr_xfFLdzlHqIkLZub9pKZio7U39ERFRE97NSv9AVcTYuNYTtKK_PUk1YXe6HPzf26di9Q6c/s400/DSC_0809.JPG" border="0" /></a> Miles and Jonathan with the class frog</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7_egsWoUdR6dAVTlrkAzsF3Z34ziSOOZ8rxd6FL51zkfp9L7EwJYGqgVfbmCYLxgNMerYVExoJeCuP-hWRFECoxPMBl418jEP-9dy7eFNUbvIy7q68xnADftdrul5XV1WyHC-KO9WoI/s1600-h/DSC_0808.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372505227885341234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7_egsWoUdR6dAVTlrkAzsF3Z34ziSOOZ8rxd6FL51zkfp9L7EwJYGqgVfbmCYLxgNMerYVExoJeCuP-hWRFECoxPMBl418jEP-9dy7eFNUbvIy7q68xnADftdrul5XV1WyHC-KO9WoI/s400/DSC_0808.JPG" border="0" /></a> Miles at his desk, looking good<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdXNjkUh6X1O9AlW84tpWF2PlwbEnq_9SaYd_F9stPIMRWOdHgOU0LemQM_vKRXnRQ5wyJ9OzqSlbZiGz1ovjKY_yYYfBpgzd0SXfukFrkUQaZrwhBzYtukDaYrpld0dLwd6mITsaFSSA/s1600-h/DSC_0803.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372505220034781922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdXNjkUh6X1O9AlW84tpWF2PlwbEnq_9SaYd_F9stPIMRWOdHgOU0LemQM_vKRXnRQ5wyJ9OzqSlbZiGz1ovjKY_yYYfBpgzd0SXfukFrkUQaZrwhBzYtukDaYrpld0dLwd6mITsaFSSA/s400/DSC_0803.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizSAUhW3W9Eg1s-hKlQvYpbXW9hGpKR2V_PlQ_i6pgnSw8Z8A78dD89Yr0-IvuPIX9BqNjzGu49gmcYYMiPcxrVQAK6T6MB8gr4ls2SKJuR1bh6wsfosFoI52P6tOswzoQTGpSqMGIzh0/s1600-h/DSC_0798.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372505208535221554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizSAUhW3W9Eg1s-hKlQvYpbXW9hGpKR2V_PlQ_i6pgnSw8Z8A78dD89Yr0-IvuPIX9BqNjzGu49gmcYYMiPcxrVQAK6T6MB8gr4ls2SKJuR1bh6wsfosFoI52P6tOswzoQTGpSqMGIzh0/s400/DSC_0798.JPG" border="0" /></a>I have been wanting to start some fun first day of school traditions, so this is one I found and I made everyone their name out of pancakes, and then we got a delivery from the Magic school bus, and the boys got some fun school supplies. And the night before school, Mark gave the boys father's blessings for a new school year and that was very neat. I think we had a fun start of school and I think the boys really liked it. Now we have to do something fun next Thursday when Ryry goes to Kindergarten. He told me after we went to Back to School night, that he didn't want to go to school anymore, he just wanted to skip all the grades.

We have been very busy the last little while, so instead of trying to play catch up, I will just start from the present. <br />I have decided to post about my CRAZY idea to run a marathon is September. I have always, always wanted to do one and I figured now was the perfect time. So this past Saturday, I ran 15 miles and wooo weee, it was a duzie. The first seven miles were fine, but then I started to really drag and I had to go to the bathroom sooo bad, so luckily I ran by a park (three miles later) and was able to find some relief. Mark and the boys came out in the car when I was about three miles from home, and I was sooooo tempted to jump on in. But the boys were so excited to see me and were yelling and cheering for me. It was really great and it gave me the little boost I needed to make it home. This saturday I run 11 and then the next is 17, so I will give some updates later. After I ran on saturday we jumped in the car for a six hour car ride to my parents and I felt like I was 90 years old when I got out of the car. I guess to much of a good thing can end up killing you! So we shall see. <br />The boys and I will be at my parents for the next two weeks and we will be celebrating Blake's first birthday while we are here, I can't believe he is one!!!!! So we will put up some pictures while we are here.Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-44377863471472002282009-04-11T13:32:00.001-07:002009-04-11T13:47:38.328-07:00Easter Egg TimeWe decorated easter eggs this morning. Miles wanted to do it the moment he woke up, so we had to stall him until we had at least had some breakfast.

We had a really good time. It was fun to be together with everyone in the family and make some fun memories. It is a six hour drive to Worland, and all of the boys (even Mark) did a wonderful job in the car. We had a really good time. It made it worth the trip. I can't believe it has been 40 years. That is a long time. WOW!

He had so much fun and really enjoyed doing the project. He loved having people come and interview and ask questions about his project. It is so fun to watch your children grow up and enjoy doing it. He is so great, it was great to watch him interact with other people and see him explain what he did. He is already thinking about what he wants to do next year. Way to go Miles!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-1257819562060375372009-03-21T08:45:00.000-07:002009-03-21T09:35:15.719-07:00Blake is 8!Blake is growing so fast. He is 8 months today. He is sitting so well and I love it. He can sit and play with toys and stay entertained a lot longer now that he has a different perspective on the world. No desire to lay on his stomach or crawl whatsoever and that is SO FINE with me. I love this stage where they just sit and don't go anywhere. Once the crawling starts it is all over. I have to teach him how to use the stairs and babyproof again. So I am quite enjoying the sitting stage. I have put pictures of the last three months since I never posted them.<br /><br /><div align="center">Blake at six months</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgshnWu9JLG0xh-BfmngJrbR6LwkNK2xEWlKQ52mGc0hleszBEZtwAxdZdc8mejkuXx5QZXUQqk0puRvBAXaE-lAgZBkTb6ZslJUb7WRthyjoGPz8oGaSePyslKDrTgyUuJD3keI6U2ETw/s1600-h/DSC_0046.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315670517674274226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgshnWu9JLG0xh-BfmngJrbR6LwkNK2xEWlKQ52mGc0hleszBEZtwAxdZdc8mejkuXx5QZXUQqk0puRvBAXaE-lAgZBkTb6ZslJUb7WRthyjoGPz8oGaSePyslKDrTgyUuJD3keI6U2ETw/s320/DSC_0046.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtupMsD3fZ1EugpXggx5ZznxpKQy4lCSPAUWnXskQv1A3yzOyLkZyoY_WX1Nkfqx72_WPnB5rRvvq7_8iOMArI6qT5e-ncCd_N13OazlygjNgqblbEl9RJTzLemGzfg5YsEx4xBihtpcY/s1600-h/DSC_0074.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315670516379850498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtupMsD3fZ1EugpXggx5ZznxpKQy4lCSPAUWnXskQv1A3yzOyLkZyoY_WX1Nkfqx72_WPnB5rRvvq7_8iOMArI6qT5e-ncCd_N13OazlygjNgqblbEl9RJTzLemGzfg5YsEx4xBihtpcY/s320/DSC_0074.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMxXVVz7-th0uqITYPbRDNgnwd89fyh2j0znXm4qCMTaxpTFJe1TVboYWUuyHin84tEEBwaidWVDw-Bbj7AvihYLh0yk5CVl4ORs895-l3rRJ_fgOQXITTONmPNXXYZrpP-vJ51t1SNg/s1600-h/DSC_0066.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315670512219080210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMxXVVz7-th0uqITYPbRDNgnwd89fyh2j0znXm4qCMTaxpTFJe1TVboYWUuyHin84tEEBwaidWVDw-Bbj7AvihYLh0yk5CVl4ORs895-l3rRJ_fgOQXITTONmPNXXYZrpP-vJ51t1SNg/s320/DSC_0066.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Blake at Seven months<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybHA0wmPV2Nhzgm4yHry5BgRrB_DPoKAlf2I0j-mCiXN29dTlM9pU2Zz7DumSOvTt6bCqFb243aHBaaM5FQQcTOcpd7WWxfgjl0iQRy1nSCalmU1Ol3p6pIYfHoDNH1b6DT5FH6bBOz0/s1600-h/DSC_0142.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315670507743168066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybHA0wmPV2Nhzgm4yHry5BgRrB_DPoKAlf2I0j-mCiXN29dTlM9pU2Zz7DumSOvTt6bCqFb243aHBaaM5FQQcTOcpd7WWxfgjl0iQRy1nSCalmU1Ol3p6pIYfHoDNH1b6DT5FH6bBOz0/s320/DSC_0142.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XRmwPnNWpe4yAaueEnEtngnxzK2z747LhVRrcXlDVUsUQeYwTSo7UWESmRWXmV36ZVq9HcrjQyA8zYpHSv-ZUQXlrVw4cqw8jyXi3PsYbsrf2Q4Oz4-gjZ703CSVgA7hrXTGazm7Tzk/s1600-h/DSC_0156.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315670506925608626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XRmwPnNWpe4yAaueEnEtngnxzK2z747LhVRrcXlDVUsUQeYwTSo7UWESmRWXmV36ZVq9HcrjQyA8zYpHSv-ZUQXlrVw4cqw8jyXi3PsYbsrf2Q4Oz4-gjZ703CSVgA7hrXTGazm7Tzk/s320/DSC_0156.JPG" border="0" /></a>He is sooooo cute in the bathtub.

(This is for you Laura!) My sister pointed out that I had said I would do all of these blogs and post a lot more and I wasn't, man I hate when I get called out on something. She said that she was checking every day and no change and then checking every few days and still no change and then every week and STILL no change, so she said she wasn't checking anymore, so here's to you girl, I am posting about things that should of been up along time ago. Thanks for the jump start!! Ok back to the car, we bought a GMC Yukon XL and I love it. At first I was a little overwhelmed by how big it is, and I was so sad to give up the electric doors of the Oddessy but this has been great. I love that I can actually sit in a seat when I need to be back by Blake and not sitting between the two seats (legal of course!) and I love the room it has, I can fit all the carpool kids plus my own. It seats 9, so it has been nice. I have gotten over my fears of parking in the garage and backing out of the garage, and parking next to other cars, but I am yet to parallel park the thing, and that may never come. Oh well, it is good to walk from the back of the parking lot or some where else. What is so great about close parking spaces. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-73399319278870647272009-02-18T18:57:00.001-08:002009-02-18T19:19:17.299-08:00Happy Birthday Jonathan<span style="color:#000000;">Jonathan turned 3 today! I can't believe it. But he is <span style="color:#000000;">for sure</span> three. I am going to have to talk to the pediatrican tomorrow about how my three year old only knows one word "No!" and I am a little concerned. Jonathan is a wonderful boy, he absolutely has his moments but he can be so polite and fun. We had a great day today. I told him what did he want for his birthday breakfast and he told me his lightening McQueen cake, what flavor did he want, he didn't want a flavor, he wanted lightening McQueen, so needless to say, I finished the cake and we were able to have a party. He didn't really grasp the whole birthday thing, until Aunt Becky brought him over a gift and then he really cheered up. He was quite excited to be able to get presents and cake for "His birthday" He loved staying in his jammies all day because birthdays are the only day we do that, Ha Ha. But it was a nice excuse for his birthday. We Love You Jonathan!</span><br /><br /><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTJnicPk17Oq3tqOyR0SMtFLpoG_uVRm1e1ZZQKAI4MKMBaHkI_0Ck_Do3cNfBdh_1ab23rLvjhOwVZxK2hG-u2d_l8RxVWfMbObJzgf9L8-tsrsafZCC9XryCFvUV_Id5Z9__z8Wt-g/s1600-h/DSC_0120.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304339098354730370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTJnicPk17Oq3tqOyR0SMtFLpoG_uVRm1e1ZZQKAI4MKMBaHkI_0Ck_Do3cNfBdh_1ab23rLvjhOwVZxK2hG-u2d_l8RxVWfMbObJzgf9L8-tsrsafZCC9XryCFvUV_Id5Z9__z8Wt-g/s320/DSC_0120.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0HrfwhZWlLGdlHh3DgCGXDclZ-9N17e8McZS9kvomRT-5PxV6tudmylJH5mOc42IRFPqXDS3U7YXCqV7YpHSrXE4yR2HJhorQ1qwRwW8EkBQpVf0JqRMJBaIZeYCdxSnDyThXp9upRNs/s1600-h/DSC_0129.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304339096111431074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0HrfwhZWlLGdlHh3DgCGXDclZ-9N17e8McZS9kvomRT-5PxV6tudmylJH5mOc42IRFPqXDS3U7YXCqV7YpHSrXE4yR2HJhorQ1qwRwW8EkBQpVf0JqRMJBaIZeYCdxSnDyThXp9upRNs/s320/DSC_0129.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmao9wy5hnN1SyGiw1KZ79xbsZop1iojUbYw47r7SUxih0yujss5b_mD2QArp1RmlKJKGtq7JF5X1j1mGypHoqNxuogcShCS9WgwisGfy16BpVWfB2UdxW3AGl8zTPKN2yy_dqi2yPVmQ/s1600-h/DSC_0110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304339091656515538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmao9wy5hnN1SyGiw1KZ79xbsZop1iojUbYw47r7SUxih0yujss5b_mD2QArp1RmlKJKGtq7JF5X1j1mGypHoqNxuogcShCS9WgwisGfy16BpVWfB2UdxW3AGl8zTPKN2yy_dqi2yPVmQ/s320/DSC_0110.JPG" border="0" /></a> Cake decorating is a lot of work, but Jonathan loved it, didn't eat the cake, but sure enjoyed the frosting.

Man he is so awesome. He just turned six months and I can't believe it. Our whole family has been better since he has joined it. He makes all of us happy, when one of the boys is crying or throwing a tantrum, he laughs at the silly faces they make and it totally difuses the situations. He will smile at anyone who wants to talk to him or hold him (except the pediatritian) and he just makes my life brighter. The boys were taking turns carrying him around tonight and he just let them haul him around. He loves to watch every move they make, and he just waits for them to come talk to him. He loves to laugh and play with them. I sure am thankful and blessed to be this little guy's mom. We love ya, Blake!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-2074361873923041682009-02-01T19:28:00.000-08:002009-02-01T19:39:27.534-08:00Super Hero x3<div align="center">After tying so many blanket knots to make super hero capes, I finally decided to dust off the ol sewing machine and make some velcro capes ( that I don't ever have to tie again!) I wish that sewing was like riding a bike and I could always keep up on the skill, but that is not the case and I knew once the boys saw that I was making these capes they would not leave me alone until I was finished. For example, Jonathan and Ryan were home when I started and they both asked me ten minutes after I began, when their cape was going to be done. None the less they are finished and they all love them. I thought Miles might not want one because he is "older" but no he was very adamant about wanting one. They have been very fun and I love to watch them in them. They have been super hero capes, super cleaner capes, super wrestler capes, super big brother capes, etc. etc. And they have only had them since Friday. So cheers to the capes and I guess I better make one for Blake now, before I put the sewing machine away!</div><div align="center"> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYGqPf1wJpCDAcfCDKUYuABojRCnanVFf6CasrPTZbf0yK6s2-DI-NWJ1lOEd9Jc69f2VR1XCfU8V_0kQQzlkrHw66NekdH2leG8x23vTb2V9ssFLug452xk33kuA1_FwZFENeVdSpI80/s1600-h/DSC_0061.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298038011068587714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYGqPf1wJpCDAcfCDKUYuABojRCnanVFf6CasrPTZbf0yK6s2-DI-NWJ1lOEd9Jc69f2VR1XCfU8V_0kQQzlkrHw66NekdH2leG8x23vTb2V9ssFLug452xk33kuA1_FwZFENeVdSpI80/s320/DSC_0061.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCo5p4QgJuORMHVEhLhJYBCezA3AilPw-7XxN1aM3nql7moSogoP7RrRtHp6GJ1XV_2H9lIJeomyb_49XEbyUiCbr79-bBw6QseFVvfSMfXYtUC_2QUJ21guBFaXH1MIVYoAQqjhsEe0/s1600-h/DSC_0062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298038011921545074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCo5p4QgJuORMHVEhLhJYBCezA3AilPw-7XxN1aM3nql7moSogoP7RrRtHp6GJ1XV_2H9lIJeomyb_49XEbyUiCbr79-bBw6QseFVvfSMfXYtUC_2QUJ21guBFaXH1MIVYoAQqjhsEe0/s320/DSC_0062.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcFKz80d2Yd061xNchA_oDiX8MgqI6zsObAJE0ECpVK7bOwnctky0v_1HgKcGIBk0REkeUfkG1Q22xuiRszmD659MEXyRBN2vf60egFVwjBhFEeW7xFIl4sbnir49Xl5V11cam_A4HXdw/s1600-h/DSC_0064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298038008967470130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcFKz80d2Yd061xNchA_oDiX8MgqI6zsObAJE0ECpVK7bOwnctky0v_1HgKcGIBk0REkeUfkG1Q22xuiRszmD659MEXyRBN2vf60egFVwjBhFEeW7xFIl4sbnir49Xl5V11cam_A4HXdw/s320/DSC_0064.JPG" border="0" /></a> Off they go!!<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-54234196035174772242008-12-31T12:57:00.001-08:002008-12-31T13:29:44.587-08:00Christmas Morning<span style="color:#006600;">Christmas morning was a blast.

Christmas Eve dinner was delicious and the day was very hard for Miles because he just couldn't wait. We were planning on going sledding but it was -7 outside so we decided not to go. Mark and I and my brothers Michael and Brian took the boys to see The Tale of Desperoux. It was a cute movie and that took up a few hours. I love Christmas time and watching my boys get so excited and inpatient for Santa to come. We had a great Christmas and I think the boys really had fun.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEUeVtIVL4wpxSM225BdBDzxtKRY86qRfWGLeIPcYwWMjq1wmuoLaliVfGvHF57_TceLFUYGpPH6Cj28vhjcEl43Qgl9ZxbMlH4srmcaB-FxjVF3KI1PbEixq1mzgknWoa0Fs5z3XjgE4/s1600-h/PC200015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058915858238114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEUeVtIVL4wpxSM225BdBDzxtKRY86qRfWGLeIPcYwWMjq1wmuoLaliVfGvHF57_TceLFUYGpPH6Cj28vhjcEl43Qgl9ZxbMlH4srmcaB-FxjVF3KI1PbEixq1mzgknWoa0Fs5z3XjgE4/s320/PC200015.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NXxnbF8eLeSC1DGXCQsfkKCCxVwLflBQ9zWi5SFPK4XrhsG5Y-imTMaiH1AalaP6kwSNQoOMYiCCqfJXBUjeL9nw6iN0QdPrwb55hY89KfXOvqj6yLXcxmy_OARIorbm7eKVLLdjRdY/s1600-h/PC200014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058899849246194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NXxnbF8eLeSC1DGXCQsfkKCCxVwLflBQ9zWi5SFPK4XrhsG5Y-imTMaiH1AalaP6kwSNQoOMYiCCqfJXBUjeL9nw6iN0QdPrwb55hY89KfXOvqj6yLXcxmy_OARIorbm7eKVLLdjRdY/s320/PC200014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpLKUAfCzwh_taIeYb8zZh__Ht-NJochOSTWX4J8a1r4O4AVmzcHzqysQ91c2MbyccEHdA2H4fSiH_JLQS3PlxvOipVPmsEjCpxyK26CpA9D3epUsvGArpaOxtcabnhiBsFEj8tclkoxQ/s1600-h/PC200003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058893238290370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpLKUAfCzwh_taIeYb8zZh__Ht-NJochOSTWX4J8a1r4O4AVmzcHzqysQ91c2MbyccEHdA2H4fSiH_JLQS3PlxvOipVPmsEjCpxyK26CpA9D3epUsvGArpaOxtcabnhiBsFEj8tclkoxQ/s320/PC200003.JPG" border="0" /></a> Blake enjoying his present, wrapping paper.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmldY5Hoc8uWquqjUtUa-JTOxy1PJdSztOQFCvXl4RP4Nw00o4L8FCW8TgBP0XnMYfpV704AOHPjQDFzTFvt6VnYNUlDC8Ywl8tplbx5HvtGUMSiBD9K-NFe39q9fLGuVkRKPeZbWMDJ0/s1600-h/PC200008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058115801504562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmldY5Hoc8uWquqjUtUa-JTOxy1PJdSztOQFCvXl4RP4Nw00o4L8FCW8TgBP0XnMYfpV704AOHPjQDFzTFvt6VnYNUlDC8Ywl8tplbx5HvtGUMSiBD9K-NFe39q9fLGuVkRKPeZbWMDJ0/s320/PC200008.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jonathan opend a cool Diego toy on Christmas Eve<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVCPDoI8Dnmfo3Yqqb0nBRvswsrHVhezLfF29U7x663r3X8detnQmRvY1N7crAPvQ_eCyOKNM9N79aVikOuHNID08g05cJOgFmSQlIbtLF6SuxECU3UFy5Qs9-y8yHyicewtNDIA9jtE/s1600-h/PC200007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058108157148546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVCPDoI8Dnmfo3Yqqb0nBRvswsrHVhezLfF29U7x663r3X8detnQmRvY1N7crAPvQ_eCyOKNM9N79aVikOuHNID08g05cJOgFmSQlIbtLF6SuxECU3UFy5Qs9-y8yHyicewtNDIA9jtE/s320/PC200007.JPG" border="0" /></a>Miles got a great LightSaber from Brandon<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcCIUt7CEzPyfCnZWE7DAngUqXVZCOdI6yL7kEzKNYV17xS9f_mBVMgYQNxmK63w7x-L1sXMjy-D_Fhjvk9GOb86AIe3WY73ErSyB9jQjv-sJxv2TF08I0bSx4k1Tb4IZ__phtPH52Bs/s1600-h/PC200006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286058105054715586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcCIUt7CEzPyfCnZWE7DAngUqXVZCOdI6yL7kEzKNYV17xS9f_mBVMgYQNxmK63w7x-L1sXMjy-D_Fhjvk9GOb86AIe3WY73ErSyB9jQjv-sJxv2TF08I0bSx4k1Tb4IZ__phtPH52Bs/s320/PC200006.JPG" border="0" /></a> Ryan the Hulk.

At least five posts a month, it will probably end up being five in one night, but at least five. #2. Change background often, man I was so sick of those frogs. I finally figured out how to do it and I don't have to get Mark to do it. #3. Add comments to people's blogs, I look at quite a few and now I need to tell them what a great job they are doing. #4. Try to post about birthdays and holidays at least in the same month. So with that said, here goes the first post for December, let's see if I can get four more in this month. <br /> We went to my parent's house in Wyoming for Thanksgiving, and had an absolutely wonderful time, great company, awesome food and a beautiful newly remodeled house to enjoy. Then we left for home on Saturday morning, right on time, I might add. Twenty minutes outside of Worland, we pass a flashing yellow deer sign, so Mark and I both heightend our senses and started watching for deer, no less than 50 yards from the sign, a giant, yes I said giant, buck was in the other lane, and we didn't even have time to break. So we hit him and he went flying and we then slowed down. The boys didn't even know we had hit anything, Ryan asked why we were stopping. So the good part here is that every one was completely uninjured and we were only 20 minutes from my parents. They graciously let us borrow their van to get home.<br />. <br /> The bad part here is that We found out a few days before going back at Christmas that they were actually going to total the van and so that meant that we had no way to come home from Christmas (and having to get a new vehicle). So my parents let us take their van again. Leaving my mom without a car for almost five weeks. (Thanks so much Mom!) We went and cleaned out all of our stuff from the van, at Christmas time and it was really quite sad. I wasn't ready to quit having the van. So I feel sad everytime I see a silver oddessy. Mark told me he does to, so I am not as crazy as I think. Now we are on the hunt for a new vehicle and we shall see what comes up.

I love how excited my boys get about dressing up. I love going trick or treating. Or helping my boys go trick or treating. I love to see all the different types of candy that the boys get and then I love the 50% off candy the day after!! Ryan ended up being really sick with the flu on Halloween and so I was afraid he wouldn't be able to go out. But he really wanted to go, so we put him in the double stroller and pushed him right up to the door and then he walked up to get his candy. He made it about two blocks and then he didn't have any more energy. Poor guy! So I took his bag up with me to the rest of the places we went. I told the people that I had a sick little boy in our stroller, they probably thought it was all for me. OH well, what we do for our kids. Jonathan was so cute, he loved going to each house and getting candy. After each house he wanted to open up his candy and eat it, so we kept having to put it into his bag and remind him that there was more candy. It was a beautiful night and not cold at all. I don't think I will be ready when we actually have a really cold Utah halloween.</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj2YADEfGvdJBjOAQ0XpriCTYPOxsBO_IRcHgcGTxr4LJMbx7bXMsdZx8LwSbkmAoSzUIP9y37QC38UxMgnLzot_D1pIeXcPRoWLSBBUZ9TyxCwQ7x-CFGotCd23P9okQklQ15iBZvr1I/s1600-h/PA310024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269112643950044274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj2YADEfGvdJBjOAQ0XpriCTYPOxsBO_IRcHgcGTxr4LJMbx7bXMsdZx8LwSbkmAoSzUIP9y37QC38UxMgnLzot_D1pIeXcPRoWLSBBUZ9TyxCwQ7x-CFGotCd23P9okQklQ15iBZvr1I/s320/PA310024.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UiWM2RokIN4DHlJ1JkpsAXpDHOssTB58B6FLnvLEgpSVVeGZQ_ZdJEk7HIXmqtnQPQ1BwD80QPdMfsiWkUxulx9TlNxdcIMLly4Nq0Hq9yClshkCQJgvYMbYdatkmqmhd8LG_nJZC5s/s1600-h/PA310022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269112627696985666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UiWM2RokIN4DHlJ1JkpsAXpDHOssTB58B6FLnvLEgpSVVeGZQ_ZdJEk7HIXmqtnQPQ1BwD80QPdMfsiWkUxulx9TlNxdcIMLly4Nq0Hq9yClshkCQJgvYMbYdatkmqmhd8LG_nJZC5s/s320/PA310022.JPG" border="0" /></a> Miles and pumpkin Blake<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqDqWWMtJWgpI0cT0dQAvyrgZNuJtpdvCF_ECNPGlP1Vn53lrg0UdWskdYzx1pZC7kfxHYtRPdV-vt_tAtGsZ05UHLzQSQ-n5sq3djpG_ZkOQj8CI0N9bYi1ndDeUrXk2ijAdF6T4kYw/s1600-h/PA310018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269112621273995778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqDqWWMtJWgpI0cT0dQAvyrgZNuJtpdvCF_ECNPGlP1Vn53lrg0UdWskdYzx1pZC7kfxHYtRPdV-vt_tAtGsZ05UHLzQSQ-n5sq3djpG_ZkOQj8CI0N9bYi1ndDeUrXk2ijAdF6T4kYw/s320/PA310018.JPG" border="0" /></a> He makes a pretty cute jack-o-lantern<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14205528123997671915noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709289142742166479.post-66798965941761824402008-11-15T15:21:00.000-08:002008-11-15T19:49:37.117-08:00Pumpkin Carving<div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We had a great family home evening carving pumpkins, well Mark actually did almost all of the carving. I did carve Miles' after he drew what he wanted. But Mark cleaned out all the junk inside and then went on to carve them all. It is really funny to watch my kids reaction to the stinky stuff inside. None of them wanted to even touch it. Jonathan wouldn't even try, he couldn't even get near it because of the stinky smell. The other two at least tried to dig out a few spoonfuls. Overall, we had a great time. I love this tradition and some day everyone will be able to carve their own and Mark can judge the carving!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTIE3UfBs04DwUo3QwIJez5DBN_g-SASvbs7kG6PA0RUfX9wFaXWZMvUHaKKbKd0fz_jMQU4bxsAozblQqu4rLez8e-H8Y2y9aPrs51N_Y3Y6FNqtHEG4DZ-9E3DsGDV5IwCwx0KXwCPQ/s1600-h/PA270009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269032697904122210" style="DISPLAY: block;
