Good-bye Beach

I really don't know if I can take my kids to the beach anymore. Did anyone else see this?

Seriously!?! She was only in 1 1/2 feet of water. I am thinking about putting a bubble around my house and each individual kid!

S*I*X Y*E*A*R*S O*L*D

I can't believe my little boy is six. He is growing up way too fast. Carson had a fun lego star wars party with his friends on Tuesday. Hopefully we will get up some video from the party soon (hint hint B). Until then, here he is underwater at the swimming pool. Hooray for summer and the pools!

8 YEARS

Eight years ago today was one of the happiest days of my life! I love you Bridger!

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.
