Mr. Independent!!

So, here is my little boy at work! Yesterday Carson was watching TV, and I decided to go downstairs and look at some stuff on the computer. After a couple of minutes, I started hearing noises coming from the kitchen. I knew I would regret it, but I was just too tired to run up and stop him! I heard a chair being moved, dishes clanging , the sounds of a little boy making a mess.When I did finally make it upstairs, I was in for a little surprise.

Here is the chair that I heard scooting across my tile floor!!!

Here is the milk, he tried to put away, but just could not reach!

Here is what the dude wanted!!!!

Here is the little boy, after getting everything he needed all by himself, enjoying a little cereal!

He seemed to be quite proud of himself. And believe it or not, he actually didn't make a mess! He didn't even spill the milk!!

This little boy is getting independent!

Sorry- We have been sick!!!!

Well- I have not written much because we have been a sick crew. Carson and Paige have been quite sick-hopefully we are on the end of it!!! Sorry to Jessica, for sharing it with her kids. Here is a picture to show that we are kinda coming out of it!!!Well add a Christmas Tree decorating post soon!

Happy Halloween!!!

Here's some late Halloween photo's! We were happy we were all able to go, because Miss Paige was sick and had to stay home from school. She looked like she felt terrible. We put her down for a nap, and 3 hours later (Plus a little Motrin!) and she was feeling so much better. She was excited to be Bell, I think her favorite part was the make-up! She tries to put in on everyday for school! It's great, because Carson tries to follow everything she does- so he often has to put on powder and a little blush as well!!!!Sorry, Daddy and Grandpa!!!Carson was not happy at all about his costume. I pput it on him once, and he just ripped it off. We finally got it on when Daddy came home and went inthe bedroom- we told Carson to put on his costume and scare daddy when he came out. We got it on and then took him right outside to go trick-or-treat at the neighbors!! He was so sold! He just wanted to go to more and more houses. We could barely get him in the car to go visit the Grandma's and Grandpa's!!! It was so much fun watching him waddle up to people's houses. I wish I would have taped it!!! Morgan was a Nice Witch!! She loved getting colored hairspray on her wild hair!! It was great weather, its not too often you can actually see kids costumes under all the winter clothes, but we had a beautiful day this year!!! I know it is not good, but I can't say I mind Global Warming some times!!!

Report card- shmortcard!!!

To the moostache grandpa- I'm quite happy with average!! It's just like in high school, not like your going to be impressed with anything but perfect, so I'll take what I can get- No more taco soup for you!!!!

Happy Birthday Shelly!!!!

Happy Birthday from a few Monkeys!!!!(So sorry about the sideways picture again!! I know I need software!!!) We just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!! Hope you do something fun and get some good presents!!! We Love You!!!!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

We woke up to a rude little surprise this morning! Last night it just rained and rained, but I guess it got colder. I cannot believe how pretty it would have been if it were Christmas morning. Big, huge, puffy flakes just floating down, on my bright green grass. No wind, No blizzard, just pretty snow. Unwelcome snow. We did decide to make the best of it though!!! Morgan started making a ball, and it got HUGE! We decided to make that our snowman base, until the next one she made was even bigger. Daddy could not lift it, so I came out and we rolled it up a piece of plywood to get it to the top. It was really really wet snow!!! The kids had a great time, and it snowed solid until about 2:00! I really hope it melts soon! I guess it's always good to get water here!! I would still really prefer rain so it still felt like fall, not winter.

Jackson!!

So, Grandpa and Grandma Williamson and the Lowry's went on the yearly trip to Grand Teton National Park to hike, see the elk, and go swimming! We had great weather, the girls were great hikers, and we saw quite a few animals. A few highlights were how scared Carson was of the elk! If we stopped he would scream "Let's Go!" and "I scared!" He even worked himself up enough to throw-up! Paige saw a dear that Grandpa found and she was a little appalled that the dear was showing off his "Booty!" Morgan and Grandpa had quite a few games of steal the pile, and we were all glad that Carson decided to talk like a crazy man. If he wanted to show me something, he would scream until I listened! We had a great time, and look forward to a great trip again next year!!

Morgan's Baptism!

Well, I am trying to do a little blogging catch-up!! It has been a crazy couple of weeks!! On Sept. 8 Morgan was baptized. She was darling in her dress! They made her stand up front in the chapel and do a spotlight about her. You could tell it wasn't her favorite place to be. What a shy little lady. It was wonderful to have a ton af family support and to hang out with everyone after the program. My favorite part was the sweet spirit that is in your home when you have a newly baptized member. It's like you don't want anything to tarnish that clean little lady. Here are some photo's!!!!

First Day of School!!!!

Well, school started a week ago today, so we are a little slow here. The girls had a great first day! They liked the teachers and seemed great! They just both got sick after day two!!! It was crazy my kids were missing part of the first week of school! Monday was Paige's first day to ride the bus (they didn't bus kindergartners the first three days, while they set up the routes for the little one's!) We were so sad when the bus stopped at our house to pick her up, and we had to yell out the window at the bus driver that she was sick!!! Tuesday we missed the bus pick up, we weren't sure what time it was coming, and somehow missed it. So, I dropped her off at school, and told her to ride the bus home. So after school, I run out with my camera to catch both of my girls riding the bus home for the first time together, and only Morgan got off the bus!!! I asked her where Paige was and she said she hadn't seen her!! So we raced inside, woke up Carson, drove to the school, and hoped she wasn't headed to some other neighborhood!!! She and one other lonely child were standing in front of the school, looking like they had flakes for mothers!!! So today she rode the bus to school, and both of my daughters actually came off the bus!! It was great except for today, my camera batteries were dead!!! So here are a couple of first day pictures, minus and bus photo's!!!!

Lowry Family Reunion 2007

I have been stressing about the Lowry family reunion for weeks now ( I was in charge!), and now it is officially over and someone else's turn to worry. We had a great weekend!! It rained and rained, so I was glad I had stressed about games to keep the 11 grandchildren-who were cooped up in the cabin together- busy. They played together really well, it was really fun. It was really nice to relax, and the rain make the weather wonderfully cool!!! We also had some great thunderstorms. We were really glad that we were not staying in tents! It was fun to hang out with family, the only problem was the 1 and 2 AM bedtimes. So most of us came home a little hammered. Here are some pictures of the cabin we stayed in and all the cute cousins!!!

Star Valley!!

Every year, the first weekend of August we head to the Lincoln County Fair! Our children love it and we get in a visit to Great Grandpa Lindberg! The kids had a great time riding rides and seeing animals. Carson loved getting a ride with Daddy on grandpa's tractor! Carson was in heaven checking out the horses, lots of cats (he calls them meow's), 4-wheelers, and all the farm equipment. It was great to have a little time to relax!

At Last!!!!

After MUCH prodding from a certain sister, I am now a part of the blogging world!! Here is a picture from Paige's birthday, and a cute little picture of Carson, that I am sure Grandpa will just love!!
