Alex's Baptism

Alex had an amazing Baptism Day. We had friends, and family with us. After Alex was baptised the first thing he said was "Wow". We could definitely feel his spirit after he recognized his own feelings about what just had happened.

When we split off into our own rooms to finish up the talks and Confirmation we were put in a room that didn't have a piano so Grandma Johnson got off the hook of playing the piano. That was okay we sounded great without the pinao. Grandma Leisa gave the Talk on the Holy Ghost and then Coby did the Confirmation and Grandpa Ross gave the closing prayer. It all turned out great and we had a wonderful day. It started at 9:00 a.m. and was over by 10:15 a.m. so everything was short and sweet.

The only thing is I am such a Ball Baby. I cried all morning. I don't know why I was so emotional maybe because my first born was turning 8 and I couln't believe how fast the time has gone by. What an amazing experience.

Alex is 8 !!!

September 2010
Alex had a small birthday party. We took him and a couple other friends to McDonald's for dinner and then came home and opened Presents and had cake and Ice-Cream.
Some fun things about Alex. He is full of personality. He loves to be with friends and loves to entertain. He is very kind and helpful. Alex is enjoying school and loves Math but I think his favorite subject of Recess. Some of his favorite things right now is learning to skate board, trade Pokemon with his friends, and playing the wii with his friends. We love Alex so much. He is sweet, kind, loving, helpful, happy, friendly, loves to hunt, fish, and go on 4-wheeler rides, but most of all he is a great kid.








Labor Day Weekend!

September 2010
We spent the weekend with our families. We went to Delta Res with the Carling's and we had a Bar-B-Que with the Johnson's.
While we were at the "Res" we ate, visited, went on lots of rides, and almost lost Brett in the water. Lesson learned. Always wear a life vest. That was not a fun experience words can't describe how I felt. But needless to say we had a blast.







This is Mandatory Beach Hairdoo!!! Don't leave home without looking like this stud first! :) Sure do love you Camron. You make life more fun.

The School Bus Dropping Zone!

I had to show how many kids get off the bus at one stop. My boys are only on the bus for 10 minutes so it is not a very long bus ride but they sure do like riding the bus.


First Day of School!


August 2010
Camron Starting Kindergarten. This was such a big day for Camron. He was so excited to start school. He had to wait a week after Alex and he was not happy about waiting he was ready for school to start. Camron's teacher is Mrs. Richarson.

Camron did not want me to take his picture while he was eating but i am the mom and I did it anyways. He was so excited to get to the bus that he did not want to eat lunch. He looks totally thrilled doesn't he? heeheehee :)

Oh there we go... there is the smile I was looking for.....


Look at these handsome boys. That could mean trouble!!!






Good Luck Camron in Kindergarten!

First Day of School!

August 2010
Alex's First day of School as a Second Grader! I can't believe my baby boy is growing up so fast. He is going to a new school called Summit Elementary and his teacher is Mrs. Gledhill. Good luck Alex!



Look at all the kids at the bus stop. My neighbor calls our subdivision Fertility Flats. We have a lot of kids around us but we have the best neighbordhood.


Alex saying goodbye. He looks a little nervous.

Coby and I in San Diego.

August 2010
Coby and I had a great weekend in San Diego we actually ended up getting more than we bargained for. We stayed at the Hyatt Hotel next to the San Diego Temple and we took in a session there which was wonderful then we headed to Flemming's steak house for dinner which was Yum-O. If you have never been make it a point to find one and enjoy. But just a warning!!!! It is not so nice on the check book but great on being completely satisfied.
As we headed across the street back to our hotel we had to wait for a three tour buses and a Police escort to stop because guess who was staying at our hotel. That's right it was the Chicago Bears. Coby and I nonchalantly started walking in with the team like we were suppose to be with these guys. Now with me being 5 feet 2 inches and some sassiness with that I totally was star struck with these 7 something tall men. These guys were huge.
It was such a rush to be in the lobby with all of these guys and there fans and everyone wanting to just cheer these guys on.
I got Coby's favorite team players' autograph which was Bryan Urlacher. He is one big Dude!!! We had a lot of fun riding in the elevator with all these guys. I felt like a kid standing next to some of them. When you only come up to there waist it is kind of a bummer. Where were my stiletto's? really just when a girl could really use some inches.
Our luck kept going because as we decided to go to the pre-season football game to watch the Chargers and the Bears as we were standing in line for tickets a guy came up to us and just offered us free tickets by the end Zone. It was awesome!!!!!



So as you can tell we had a blast!!! Can't wait for the next vacation.

Who gave the one year old some Chocolate Pudding?.......Guilty ;)


I couldn't help but capture this cute chocolate face on camera.


I am not really sure how much he actually ate but he sure had fun making a chocolate mess.

Wow!!! I can't believe that it has been a year!

I have made a new goal and that is to not let another year pass by without capturing these fun Carling moments.

So here is to me trying to do some catch up work....... :)
