Happy Birthday Carson! Carson turned a year old. We had a little family party and Carson opened presents. All his toys had wheels!!! He really liked playing with all his cars, trucks etc. Then it was cake time! He had fun with that! After all the sugar we played with toys more and ran around the house! It was lots of fun.

Carson's 1st Birthday

Riding bikes!

Holly and Carson had cabin fever, so the first day it was sunny and nice out we went outside to ride our bikes, but shortly after going outside to ride bikes it got cold and cloudy. We still had fun and Carson got to try out his new bike.

Christmas time

We celebrated Christmas in Idaho in 2007. We opened presents at our house on Fri. before Christmas with Chris' family and then we drove to Idaho on Sat. Holly and Carson didn't really get to play with their presents here until we got back.

We had lots of fun in Idaho visiting my family. Holly got to play in the snow, go sledding, feed ducks that she was scared of at first, and play with her cousins. She came home more mature since she learned from Heather and tried to boss Macey around. I thought it was pretty funny because Holly and Macey played well together, but sharing was a problem with all the kids. Carson just played and got into evertyhing. He really liked trying to touch all the buttons on the TV and he liked the fireplace at Grandma and Grandpa Jones'. So-he kept me moving and he would laugh at me when I said no no. He loved the dogs,but he wasn't very nice to them when he pulled their fur and smacked their noses. Holly loved 'Kota and Theo and drove me and Nicole crazy because she called their names constantly. Chris had fun plowing the snow-I think that was his highlight of the trip! We were able to attend the open house at the Rexburg temple and we took the kids with us. Holly thought it was beautiful and her favorite room was the "marriage room." I was glad we were able to attend the temple since it was a chance in a lifetime, especially for Holly to see. We had a great time and Holly loved being there and playing with her cousins. I enjoyed seeing my family and wish everyone was closer!

Celebrating New Years involved opening and putting together toys. I had a lot of clean up to do and things to put away.

Thanks to everyone for the gifts and cards and making Christmas time special for me and my family.

Holly's preschool

Holly is in Preschool at a Christian school and she had school pictures done and I got those back about a couple months ago and forgot to post it. Doesn't she look all grown up? She is so excited about being 4 in Feb. I told her that she needs to stop sucking her thumb by the time she turns 4. Holly says, "How about by the time I am 5?"

Holly was an angel in her school play, they sang "We three kings" and "We wish you a Merry Christmas." It was so cute. Holly would sing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" at home. She was so excited about being in her play.
