Picking Pumpkins

My favorite time of the year! We went out picking pumpkins a few Saturdays ago. The boys had fun looking for "little" pumpkins. They were very particular about which ones they wanted. In the end everyone found one they were happy with.

Here are a few photos I've snapped over the summer. Spending lots of time outside and with CoUsIns!

Happy 4th of July-well almost!

We decided to attempt a parade this year and it was so much fun! We went down to Hooper City's parade with the cousins. It was perfect weather with a cool breeze. Not too many people and an awesome small town feel.



The boys couldn't believe they could actually run in the street to get candy. They loved the horses and tractors. We had a great time and so glad we went.

Father's Day

pictures are so hard these days with the boys. this was as good as it got and sadly didn't get any good ones of Carson with the boys. This is Carson's dad with them.

Carson is such an amazing Dad. He is so patient-a quality I wish so much I had. He is so loving with our boys and I appreciate him so much for the love that he shows to Noah and Madden every day.



Luckily this was a much better day than Mother's Day. Carson and I were asked to speak in Sacrament meeting and it's fine. I am 100% okay with speaking it's a lot easier than wrestling with the boys for an hour and fifteen minutes.

Afterwards we went over to my parents for lunch and then down to Alpine to have dinner with Carson's family.

Water Fun

We went to the Riverdale Park today with my good friends Tricia and Misty. They have the funnest little splash pad. It wasn't the warmest of days but Madden jumped right in. Noah is pretty mellow and not as adventurous but after a little bit of watching Madden have all the fun decided to join him. I could just eat them in these pictures. How innocent they look!

Days of our last 6 months.....

I'm sorry. It's really been a crazy six months. I'll make it simple and give you a rundown:
December-Diagnosed with Lyme Disease after weeks of being scared out of my mind with what was happening to me. 5 Dr's later-I finally got put on antibiotics. So much to go into with Lyme....I'll post another day.

January-Carson celebrated his 34th birthday on the 6th. Wow I can't believe I have a husband who is that old :)

*Madden turned 2 on the 10th. I can't believe how super fast it has gone and for the record it's going to be awhile before we can think about having another one. He is my crazy, wild boy. His middle name is Trouble and he def. keeps me on my toes.

*CHA-Scrapbook Show. I exhibited NEW Lily Bee products in Anaheim. I was gone for six days which was so long being away from my boys but it was a nice little break.


March-Noah turned 4. Again can't believe how big he is getting. He has loved going to pre-school, playing games on the computer and is recently big time into Spiderman. He is such a sweet and whiny boy :)

May-Oh May let's forget the whole month! It was a hard month to say the least. I had another Dr's Visit for the Lyme and found out I had a few other viruses along with testing positive for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was put on a strict diet by the Dr-No carbs, no dairy and on and on. I've learned to love turkey and veggies.

*Celebrated my 31st Birthday-but of course a downer with all that was going on.
*Mother's Day-Let's just forget that day! Madden was sick beyond belief. Barfing, diarrhea all day long. It was just awful.

*Mark my brother was married to Heather. WE love her and are so grateful they found each other. I've never seen him happier in my life. We're so happy for them.

*Memorial Day was spent at my parents with a nice bar-b-que and lots of games of croquet. I worked a little bit on my new lines too coming out at the Summer Scrapbook show happening in Chicago the end of July.

Lots has been going on. But that's life. Looking forward to a great summer.
