Vacation!

We’ve been having a great time here in St. George, Utah with my parents. I was initially nervous about coming for 2 weeks instead of our regular 1 week trip. But I’m so glad I took Dustin’s advice because it has enabled us to relax and enjoy our time (instead of feeling rushed to do everything!)

Carson and Jensen have been having fun visiting with family and mostly playing in the water. We loved this awesome park in downtown St. George with a splash pad and kid friendly “river.” We can hardly wait until Dad gets here on Friday to join us!

Unfortunately, my parents have THE WORST internet service on the planet (Dad quit being such a cheap skate and get some real internet service!) so I am unable to post any of the adorable pictures that we've taken so far. For all our adoring fans, you may just have to wait until next week when I get home to my glorious high speed internet to see any of our trip.

Happy Fathers Day

Summe' Time

I know that it is still technically spring, but here in central Texas, it's felt like summer for nearly a month already! In fact, we're on day 25 of record high heat. Today it's supposed to be 100 degrees again. And since there are only 2 ways to stay cool (air conditioning and playing in the water) we've been trying to take advantage of both as much as possible. Here are some pictures we took last week of Carson playing at a local splash pad. It is the most entertaining thing to do on a warm (HOT) day, for kids and adults alike.

Carson's Quirks

I think our children show clues to their personalities from very early on. Even though Carson has always been such a good kid he's also been a bit high strung and a little intense about things. He's also very particular about the way things are done. Even the way he plays tells me that this boy is going to have a little O.C.D. Take his cars, for example. He loves to line them up, as straight as his little hands can make them, and he tends to freak out when one car or truck doesn't cooperate. It's so funny. Lately I've taken some pictures of his obsessive compulsive "play" so that I can forever have a reminder of his quirky behavior.
