Catch Up Time!

It has been a while, I know. I have a good excuse and I hope with in the next month we will have cute pictures of that little excuse! ;) We have been so busy aside from the pregnancy. In January I decided that Carson was bored of my tired pregnant self so I enrolled him in an arts and crafts preschool age class in town. He loves it and looks forward to his 3 times a week. We got a ton of snow in January after our Christmas traveling, which couldn't have happened at better timing since we traveled both ways on bare roads! The boys loved the snow and now that we are completely melted and have been enjoying 70 degree weather Carson is mad all "his snow" is gone!
Jayson has been very busy in boys scouts and has earned a number of new badges AND even won 2nd over all in the Pinewood Derby. We are so proud of him!
We have been traveling a lot and so has hubby. Jay and I went away for a weekend getaway with his company in the Black Hills, all expense paid and we even scored a $200 pre-paid visa for spending money. My brother and his good wife watched the boys and the boys had the time of their lives. Carson is still asking to go back and he just might get his wish here soon when the baby comes but we will see what happens and how it all goes down. If the baby cooperates my mom and dad will be here and I will be induced....in an ideal world that is!
Along with our travels we took the kids to a Children's Museum. I just love these types of museums and so do the boys. Jay and I just take one each and follow that one as they run from thing to thing. As I wandered I wondered how it would be with three. I guess we will find that all out here very soon!
We have been up to many more things but here is a ton of pics, I hope you enjoy what I chose to share! We will post more happens here in the next couple of days!
Thanks for being patient with me and following our blog!


Here is the infamous frog project from Carson's preschool. Many of you may have heard he got something lodged in his ear, when the E.N.T specialist pulled it out it matched the frog, color and it was a sticky foamy. It caused him some great pain but I hope he has learned to not stick things in his ears!

Yep, we got snow and the boys loved it! We finally broke down and found a wonderful deal on a snow blower and yes I was weak and we purchased one!

I just love the pictures my new camera takes! I wish I would have gotten a Nikon sooner! I love that I can take close ups like this and not have them be blurry or poor quality!

Another cute close up!

Pinewood Derby! Jayson's car is the army green with the silver stars. He designed it with his dad and picked out all the colors and wanted the army stars. Jay studied and studied how to make the best "arrow dynamic" car and it must have worked! It was one fast car!


He takes his scouting very very seriously. I am quite please. He now has quite the collection of badges he has earned that aren't in this picture. He loves to show off his badges!

This is his first race, the fist of many first place wins!

The race track was new and had the electronic timer on it. Pretty fancy for a small town like ours. This is Jayson's car in the lane that won. He won 1st in his pack and went up against all the kids.

He and his good friend Si won 1st in their pack and their cars were moving on to the winners circle!

Jay found out that there was a general entry race for family members that wanted to join in. So he even did a car for Carson so Carson felt like a hot shot getting a derby car too! Here he is waiting for his car to race! So big and cute!


Award ceremony...1st in the pack award!

Over all he got 2nd place and his buddy got 1st place. This was the best picture I took and it isn't that good, so sorry, it was hard to catch them smiling!

Children's Museum!

Carson driving the fire truck! Watch out!

Jayson loved this part of the exhibits, he loves to cook and BBQ is a favorite of his!

Anything Carson could drive he played with!

Lots of fun toys to play with!
