Carson was baptized!

Carson was baptized and confirmed August 2ND.  His birthday is June 22ND but we had to wait for a time that both sets of Grandparents could be around so Carson had a whole month plus to practice being good.  He had to be dunked twice because a knee came up out of the water.  Sean did a great job.  I kept asking if he was going to mess up and say the prayers in Spanish.  I was a little worried.   We are so relieved you passed the Bishop's interview!  Congratulations Cars!

What a cute boy!

one big happy family

Sean's feet should be a Chaco commercial

I Love Watermelon!

I couldn't get the kids to look at me all at the same time!  I love this picture of Tandi.  Look at the bite she is taking!  Tyson and Reese can't believe it either.

This is the first time Reese has had watermelon cut like this, I usually cut it is chunks and she never eats it.  If I had only known she likes triangle watermelon...

What a CUTE picture of Tandi!  I love it!

I don't know if Reese's mouth could get any fuller!

West Water Canyon

We took the big boys on their first big water rafting trip down West water canyon on the Colorado river.  When I say big, I really should say BIG!!!  The river was running at 10, 700 cfs, which means it is a nasty, but fun level.  Fun as long as you don't flip or fall out, not so fun if you do, just ask Kevin and Tyler,who had the worst swim, or any of the other kayakers.  Sean, Me, Cameron, Carson and Ryan Hamblin were in the boat and we took 3 inflatable kayaks each with 2 people in them.  Sean did a great job of keeping our boat upright!  Cameron, oblivious to the danger, wanted to hit every wave and hole!  Carson on the other hand started out wanting to hit the waves but by the middle (just before skull,  room of doom and the magnetic wall for those of you who have been down. I know, the names sound so inviting, huh.) he was getting pretty quiet.  The last rapids are called "last chance" and "last, last chance" after we went through them Cars was all smiles again.  We had a great time.  

Olympic Park

We had a great time in Park City at Olympic Park!  Sean, Jerry(b-inlaw), Mason, Danny(both nephews) and Aleisha(niece) went down the bob sled track!  It was scary just to watch them! They got going around 70 mph!  The kids loved the zip line, alpine slide, and just watching the ski jumpers practicing their jumps and landing in the pool ( actually pretty cool)

Of course we want rafting!

This was the high light of the whole week, for me anyway!  I beat an old man at an arm wrestle! Actually, I gave up first but since I'm a girl and I think we were in that position for at least 10 minutes I am claiming the victory!  I wish I could make this picture bigger!

Danny and Reese

Reese loved Danny! He would do anything she wanted which included racing her around the backyard in a doll buggy as fast as he could run, which is pretty darn fast!

Our own backyard water park!

    

   

Beaver Mountains

Cheryl(sister), Jerry and their kids, Mason, Danny, Brandon and Kendall (Aleisha was already in Utah going to BYU and working at Rafting) made the trek to Utah from Texas.  A favorite thing to do is going fishing up in the Beaver mountains.  We caught a lot of fish and had a lot of fun!  Thanks to the big boys for helping the little boys with their poles, Gramps can only re-do line, sinkers, bubbles, and hooks so many times. 

Poor Carson

I found this video a while ago and I wanted to share it with all of you.  I think it is hilarious! Cameron just turned 2 and Carson is 2 months old.  Carson's cheeks are so chubby.  You can't blame Cameron for kissing him so much. 

Reese has bed head!!!!!

We thought this day would never come!  She woke up from her nap with bed head!  I haven't even combed it out yet.  I think it is so funny.  She must get this from her Aunt Jilly. Love it!
