It is time....

I guess I should really buckle down and just blog already. Problem....lack of motivation + WAY too much to do. Solution----Just do it!
(Be prepared for random pics. I stole these from my sister...I'm too lazy to get mine off the camera! They are only a week old)


Well here goes nothing. I am not sure how much time I have or where to start but let's see how far I get.
I am so bummed that the holidays are over. They flew by. Literally. We flew to everywhere. First was Christmas with my family. It was perfect. Music, games, laughter, talking, hair stuff (of course), lots of firsts. Garrett was in the MTC, it was Carson's first Christmas and David's first with my family.---Crazy I know. Almost 3 years and our first christmas with my family. Blame it on Australia and Pregnancy...two things that probably win out.

New Years was with David's fam. Also perfect. Puzzles, food, games, laughter, music, Daines/Gill football, and family pictures. Oh i forgot to mention SICKNESS. BLAH! Carson was first and got it from aunt mindy (thanks!) Then me followed by david. After carson was sick for 2 days and on the uphill, David and I left for a kind of 2nd honeymoon.


Love these gloves, you can't tell here but they aren't mittens....actual finger spots for each little one
Disney World. Great place, happy, fun, not so much when you're sick. Oh well only the first day and a half was a bit unpleasant. It was a LOT easier to be away from my baby then I thought it would. He was great for his Grandparents and I did ok too. It was nice to be with my hubby and spend time with him playing at "The Happiest Place on Earth"

We flew back to the in-laws, had a little layover, picked up our son and headed home. This was on the 9th of January. Needless to say Home was looking good about now! But home was not loney without us. It was full of 10 other people. My family and my aunt's family came out for a funeral unexpectedly and crashed at our place. It was fun that night. Lot's of people and almost a continuation of the Holidays.

Best part about their coming....they left some precious cargo. My sister Andelyn stayed for 2 weeks. Oh how I love that girl. She's fun, and surprisingly different then her big sister. It was a lot of fun getting to hang with the "teenage" sister. We haven't lived together since she was 11 so it's been difficult to see her grow up without being around.



We went shopping, to a museum(super cool place here), out to eat, started and then beat the New Super Mario for wii, played wii fit, painted nails, did hair...you name it. She even celebrated her 15th birthday with us. Oh how could I not mention....we went to see Avatar. Amazing. Haven't seen it? Get up right now and go.

Check out the hair. He already had his first haircut here and then shortly after this he got another one!

My boy is getting big. I am frequently overcome with the full force of how much I love that little boy. He is a comedian, an adventurer, an explorer, a dare devil, a stinker, a sweetheart, a tease, a joy, the BEST. Huh? Guess all those came from either his mother or his father. We must be quite the family:) I'd like to think so!



Well there is more to tell, news to share, and updates to be given but the hour is late and my hubby is home. Time to continue living in my wonderful reality!

I'm so glad you updated! Glad you had a good Christmas break and were able to travel around. I can't believe how fast Carson is growing. That's so cute he wore those little gloves with the fingers. So cute! Can't wait to chat with you about your news...
