Carson's Artwork

The other day Carson was so bored. I was feeling guilty because he had been watching TV way too much that day, so we decided we would do a little art. I set him up with the supplies he wanted, and then headed to my room to fold laundry. When I came out, it was a huge mess, but when my REALLY excited little boy showed me his masterpieces on the fridge (he hung them up all by himself) it was so worth it.

I took some close-ups of my very favorites. Here is a lovely drawing of his baby brother.

A painting of his baby brother.

His name. He has a little trouble getting that S the right way. He usually makes me draw him dots so he can get it right, but he did pretty good on his own.


Ahhh...my favorite. A picture of his dad driving the 4-wheeler, that is pulling a sled carrying him and his sisters. If you know Carson you know that he is really into "hook-its." This started when we got our trailer and he started helping his dad "hook-up" to the truck. He hooks things to his bike, and loves little toy trucks with trailers. I love how he drew the rope hooking the 4-
wheeler to the sled. This is a favorite activity of this litlte boy. When it snows, he begs to call his dad at work and ask him for a ride after work.

This one he came home from school with the other day. I love these cute little chicks. I also love the big eyes, and long skinny toes!!

Sweet little boy...

Another little video for the sisters...this boy is smiling like crazy. He loves to have anyone give him attention.

Star Valley

The last couple of years we have spent Presidents Day visiting Aaron's grandparents in Star Valley. Our kids love this little tradition. The last couple of years we have left right after the kids Valentines Day party's at school. They love to spend the drive time checking out all of the treats and notes from their friends. Aaron's grandpa always uses the tractor to build a big sledding hill for the kids to play on. This year they haven't had as much snow, so he was scooping it up from his field to make the hill bigger.

It is so pretty up there. We had beautiful weather!!

The kids love to go for snowmobile rides and get pulled on sleds. Carson only wants to ride with his Dad, he did not appreciate getting on the sled.

That is Morgan in there. They have to cover their faces with a mask so they don't freeze.

It was really nice to get away for the weekend and relax and play. My kids can't wait to go back for another visit.

Brothers and a half smile

This is as close to a smile that I have been able to get a picture of. He always seems to perform when I don't have a camera close by.

Carson is in love with this baby boy. He is ALWAYS trying to kiss him and hug him-a little too rough at times. I sure think it is cute when they are acting this sweet with each other. ( I am guessing in a little while they won't get along quite so well.)

A few of my favorite boys.

For my sisters...

He wouldn't cooperate with a smile, but I still thought you might enjoy!! I will keep working on a better one.

Baby Coop's first month

Carson has nicknamed this little guy Baby Coop. He is growing so fast!

These guys are loving having a baby around the house-especially if it means their mom has no time to fix any ones hair any more.

He may or may not be getting a little spoiled. We have a lot of people around here wanting to snuggle this sweet baby.

Snow Fun

I am not a big fan of blizzards, but when the snow comes down in big fluffy flakes, falling straight down instead of sideways- we are a fan of that at this house. My little boy squeals with delight when he sees this out the window. Then he begs to call his dad at work to tell him it is snowing and ask him to come home and play with him outside.

Here are some photos of the fun we had outside over the holidays when all the cousins came to visit!

I think took 3 full sized males to lift the belly and head of the snowman, and a ladder to add the hat. These little kiddos were rather impressed.

The dads and the daughter (and Grandma) spent a day cross-country skiing. When they were almost done, they decided to have a huge snow-ball fight.

Thanks for all the fun everyone!!
