Visting with Elder Carter

Josh's little brother Seth is serving his mission in North Carolina but he has never served anywhere near where my grandma lives. Well, two day before we went out there he got transferred to the town next to my grandmas. We decided that we had better pay him a visit while we were out there and since it was the week of his birthday we had a little birthday party for him. As you can tell the kids were a little excited to see him. He will be home from his mission in July.

Day at the farm - North Carolina

While we were in North Carolina one of the little towns was having a Easter Egg hunt at a farm so we decided to take the kids. They had so much fun and the people were SO nice. Our care a van got a little lost so we barely missed the egg hunt. So they set up a egg hunt just for our kids. Then we went on a hay ride and the kids played with the animals. The kids loved it.

St. Patricks Day

Yellowstone - Lots and lots of pictures = Lots and lots of FUN!

A few weeks ago we went to west Yellowstone with all of the aults. The boys had a blast. We swam tons! Went sledding, ice skating, roasted marshmellows with the towns people, played in the snow, went snowmobiling, and went into the park to see all of the animals and old faithful. Thanks grandma, it was a lot fun!

Hudson turned into a dare devil

Carston was not sure how he felt about the water this time.

Jax swam the short length of the pool all by himself for the first time.

Is it warm yet?!!!

So I just looked outside to check on my kids and this is what I found... It can't be more than 60 degrees out there and they are playing in the hose water. FREEZING! I think they are excited for summer. What do you think? Oh and it looks like Carston put on one of Hudsons swimsuits:)

Jaxons Storage

Jaxon said the funniest thing last night so I figured that I had better write it down before I forget.
We were sitting watching TV, I told him that he hadn't given me a hug yet and asked if he had one in him. He ignored me and continued to watch TV. I figured "o well" about 5 minutes later he turned to me and said "Sorry mom, I had to look in my storage. It was on the right side behind the shovels." and he gave me a hug. I guess next time he wont give me a hug, I will just tell him to look in his storage.:)
