Update on a million and one things.....

WOO HOO! Yes the camera was found. Carson found it the day after I posted about the reward! Just in time too, we've been busy...


Easter Day

Hailey's first ballet recital






Carson graduated from the WLC. He had a blast with his class of 18 boys this year.




Hailey turned 4!



Headed to the beach with Gram G.




Dinner in Keham at Joes Crab Shack. (Notice the sweet Astros hats we had just won.)



Bridger ran with a bunch of crazy guys in the Houston Mud Run. Yes, they ran the entire race in a shirt and tie. It's true...Wyatt ran the whole thing in his suit.

Last but not least.....yes we are expecting another bundle of joy! Sorry no picture because I'm not scanning in the ultrasound. I'll be 15 weeks on Wednesday. I am glad to have the morning sickness past me and we are hoping for the rest of the pregnancy to be smooth sailing with NO BEDREST!! Keep your fingers crossed!

*REWARD*

On occasion when I was little my father would misplace something in the house. When it got to the point where he REALLY needed it he would start offering a reward to whomever found it. As kids we loved this. It would usually start at a 10 cent reward. Then the reward would continue climbing until the item was found. I can remember receiving 25 cents, 50 cents and sometimes even a few dollars for an item. I would get really excited when the reward would reach the one dollar point. I don't think you could ever find more children searching for an item more than my siblings and I did once a reward was offered.

Point of the story.... something was lost at our house on Easter Day. The reward is now at TWO DOLLARS. I will let you know who finds it and what the reward is at when it is found. Also once it is found, I will post all the Easter pictures on it!

Sweet 16 Trip

(The following was dictated by Carson, typed by dad) This is Carson. Richie is my best friend. I had a fun time with Grandpa last week. I went to New Orleans. I loved it there. I wish you could have come too. We went there so daddy and my grandpa could watch the BYU football... I mean... basketball game. They lost though. I rode on what Tiana rides on to work (streetcar). I saw the castle where Tiana's friend lives and ate beignets for breakfast. We had fun staying at the hotel. It was a long drive, but it was fun to ride the whole way with Grandpa. Love you, bye. I put some pictures for you to see below.

Yes we are alive!

I know, I know it has been a long time. The truth is...I just didn't feel like blogging. Then the camera was non-functioning...etc. I was wondering whether I should even blog again or just drop it. Let's be honest...only two people besides the grandparents have asked for a blog post in five months.

Well the good news is...the camera is fixed, and I decided to blog again. I'm not going to go back and play catch up. If I decide to post something about the past I will. No guarantees how often I'll update, but for the grandparents sake...I'll try!

Of course no post is complete without a photo. Here's one of London and Hailey eating breakfast this morning. Man my kids have grown up.

T-Ball

Today Carson played his last T-Ball game of the season. What a difference from last season! Carson has really improved both in how well he plays and his maturity level on the field (translate that into far less throwing the glove in the air, digging in the dirt, spinning in circles...). He really seems to understand his responsibility at each position and the general rules of baseball now. This was evident a couple of games ago when he was thoroughly confused as to why the kid he tagged out would not go sit down in the dugout!

There are a few people who are probably not terribly sad to get a break from T-Ball until Spring - that Team Mom had her hands full! (Love you honey...thanks for 'stepping up to the plate')

Fun little clip from his the game today:

Mmmmm.... frosting!

We have carried on the tradition of placing a cake/cupcake in front of our kids on their 1st birthday and seeing how they react. For the only child that nursed right up to the 12-month mark, London sure seems to know how to take down a bit of Rainbow Chip cake covered in sugary goodness.

Home cleaning

If only Carson would keep the gameroom as clean as home plate!
