It's been a while

Here are a few random posts that I have slacked on putting up. Josh's dad has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and blogging just wasn't on the top of the list. Anyways I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of their love and support during this time. We are so blessed to have such great family and Friends. We don't know where we would be without you. Hopefully this first picture will give you a good laugh.

Hudson is finally potty trained and has been for about a month. He doesn't really like to go #2 sometimes. This is him throwing a fit cause he didn't want to go. I thought it was pretty funny. He was in that position for a really long time. He finally went for Kolten. Thanks Kolten, you will be a great dad someday!

This is after a long day shopping. It is actually how I felt too. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep whenever we wanted. Kids have the life!

Cooking Fun

Hudson decided that he wanted to help us make some rolls for dinner. I guess I should have taken his Sunday cloths off:)

Annual Shopping Day

Each year my moms family gets together for a day of shopping. It has gotten so big though that we just meet for lunch and then kinda go our owm way shopping. We had like 55 people at lunch. It was so fun to get together and see everyone. This is a tradition that I have always loved.

Carston's Party

For Carstons party we just got together with some family and friends and had dinner and cake and ice cream and watched a cute movie that my mom made for his first year. When you get my family and Josh's family together there are always a ton of people so I think that Carston was a little overwhelmed by the end of the night. I just want to say thanks to all of our family and friends who came. We feel so blessed to have so many people who love and support us. And a special thanks mom for spending the time to make the video for Carston. It was so cute.You are always so great to help out. Thanks again to everyone who came. We love you!

My Baby is One!

I Can't believe that Carston is one. He is such a sweet baby. I just love him so much! It is always hard to put into words how I feel about my kids, But I just feel so incredibly blessed to have Carston in my life. His sweet spirit and cheerful disposition can always make me happy. Josh always says that Heavenly Father sent him here to cheer him up when he is having a bad day. Happy Birthday Carston! We love you!!

Halloween Fun

Halloween was full of fun activities this year. We went to a carnival at Hudson's school, went to the ward trunk or treat, and went up to a party at Mike and Vicki's house. The boys had so much fun.They got way too much candy and wore me out.

Barnyard Boo

I got a little behind on some of my posts so here are a few from last month. I love the fall time because their are so many fun activities to do. The boys loved going out to Thanksgiving Point for the Barnyard Boo. They were especially excited to go with Kaelan. They love doing things with him. As you can tell Carstons favorite part was the face painting, I think Kaelans was the cookies and the other boys just had a ball running around and exploring.

Hee Haws

I go to a mom and tot class with Hudson once a week. This was one of the field trips that we went on. The boys of course loved it. Jaxon had already been with his school so he was very proud that he already knew everything and could show Hudson. Especially the giant pig "Leroy" (Sorry no picture) They talked about that huge ugly pig for days. They also loved getting a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch. I didn't enjoy that so much. By the end I was carrying Carston and two pumpkins and Hudson was laying on the ground crying because his legs were tired and I wouldn't carry him. To say the least, that is when we went home:)

Carstons Birthday Invitation

Carston is almost 1. I can't believe it. Nichole did these invitations for me and I just love them. She did such a great job. It was so fun to look back at all of his pictures through the year. I feel like he has changed a ton but in the pictures it doesn't really look like he has changed that much. Thanks Nichole. I love them.

Family Night Halloween Fun

This week for family night we decided to do some fun Halloween things. We ate dinner in a pumpkin, played Halloween bingo, decorated cookies and carved pumpkins. It was a lot of fun. The kids especially loved the silly string fight they had with Cody. Thanks Mom and Dad for always letting us have fun (and make a mess) at your house.
