I would think that would be really annoying, but he was still happy...obviously.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsw6z8US72RZjFVURE7ZHY_3alf9RjzHjGgPp1VlAJs15NLKqE1wLEHYPU0evQI2CIEqjvB4QMIvkNOq3bfkZfhhctkDkm-VS0NaxOY6JXFc-5j-EXx7oFxhMm_CJb4HDXWp_gVkTFieX/s1600/744.JPEG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsw6z8US72RZjFVURE7ZHY_3alf9RjzHjGgPp1VlAJs15NLKqE1wLEHYPU0evQI2CIEqjvB4QMIvkNOq3bfkZfhhctkDkm-VS0NaxOY6JXFc-5j-EXx7oFxhMm_CJb4HDXWp_gVkTFieX/s320/744.JPEG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598178207129779938" /></a>We went to Downata Hotsprings and had a blast. And yes...even I went down the tube slides. A first for me. I'm such a big pansy when it comes to water, but I did it...and it was awesome. Carter even practiced swimming without a life jacket and he was doing great! I need to just say this...so I'm always the one in the picture with the kids when we are in the pool. Let me explain, I am not a swimmer. I love pools though. I will probably not ever be the one taking the picture though because it is freezing getting out and I hate being cold...also that means I would be standing on the side of the pool feeling pretty much naked and disgusting all those who have to look at me. Now you know that unless I haven't even put my swimsuit on yet, I will always be pictured with my boys in the pool as though I am this avid swimmer...sorry.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViZ60AgBt_OUFw7k3FIuxQEXLHhW1fvEBXpEI9OtguR3wogN0pkp9b1Xetw0gDFOqE3SuYPnhQNopCjEpi2gpgVyENk5lHnID2-xsDNHNeOixz-7TBVquXjaVQ0voE6HKxvxGFiehyphenhyphenEuA/s1600/748.JPEG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViZ60AgBt_OUFw7k3FIuxQEXLHhW1fvEBXpEI9OtguR3wogN0pkp9b1Xetw0gDFOqE3SuYPnhQNopCjEpi2gpgVyENk5lHnID2-xsDNHNeOixz-7TBVquXjaVQ0voE6HKxvxGFiehyphenhyphenEuA/s320/748.JPEG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598178142417467250" /></a>We also did our traditional trip to Lagoon. I'm so glad we decided to start that tradition. The kids love it so much and look forward to it and you get so much more for your money than going to State Fairs and what not.

We are camped under this tree because this random rain cloud had just drenched everyone for a few seconds. So weird. Also, Joel is talking to a friend of his he hadn't seen since high school...he is always running into people he knows. So funny. <br />We seriously just love getting together with everyone. We were grateful to be able to go and for Kelly and Cami for coming and for those in Salt Lake to share their time with us! We missed out on Connor and his family again...hopefully this summer! Joel's parents weren't there either, but this summer they will be coming home from their mission and so that is going to be AWESOME!! <br />(some of the pictures might look kind of small for the amount of people in them, but if you click on them they'll get bigger...does everyone already know this and I'm just a little slow?...disregard this note then)<br />...we'll see if I can fit one more post in before I leave my Mom's...Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-84391134361823802592011-04-17T23:19:00.001-07:002011-04-18T09:25:43.607-07:00Shafer Family...yes, July 2010I am so pathetic! I should have done this forever ago...I'm here at my mom's visiting and so I thought I should take advantage of her computer and get updated. Our computer is seriously so old that I'm afraid to do anything on it and so I haven't done this...anyway. So to catch up. Here our some photos from our Shafer gathering in July. It all started off with getting to meet for the very first time, my niece Addy. I mean, how cute is she! By the way...I shouldn't brag and maybe I'm wrong, but please don't crush my memory Doug and Jackie, but in this picture I have just fed her a bottle of formula which she wouldn't take from anyone else...ever...and then got her to sleep. I would like to think that I'm magic or at least that Addy really just adores me.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnub7hvGNIJp0qa4H6Sr4_qLOfZfjv5eZ9HsB_ZqrFD0g3doYtCyfRocQqDopCg5mbB_i1OiSLWGFKJ6JE9_72va8FR7cLXMniS0Js2c-zEx4W83M5Qhk6OKl2vGZF0x3KMqv_0mGQNwVE/s1600/491.JPEG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnub7hvGNIJp0qa4H6Sr4_qLOfZfjv5eZ9HsB_ZqrFD0g3doYtCyfRocQqDopCg5mbB_i1OiSLWGFKJ6JE9_72va8FR7cLXMniS0Js2c-zEx4W83M5Qhk6OKl2vGZF0x3KMqv_0mGQNwVE/s320/491.JPEG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596806127576529970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyNl4PoJR7t0T81Jq9cxaBmoFc3AhNez2DzcZmTjg95PlIIu-G5Ae-WHVisQcK7NUS-B25k3YGerMbEh-3FT_gk8cGoykxq66Inmkxv3lEQgidseF15eGqoROOVHJSFl5G_3Q2lZIDbyI/s1600/496.JPEG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 173px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyNl4PoJR7t0T81Jq9cxaBmoFc3AhNez2DzcZmTjg95PlIIu-G5Ae-WHVisQcK7NUS-B25k3YGerMbEh-3FT_gk8cGoykxq66Inmkxv3lEQgidseF15eGqoROOVHJSFl5G_3Q2lZIDbyI/s320/496.JPEG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596806055468285314" /></a>Dad and Doug made the game Kuube.

I also told the doctors I was waiting for CPS to come and have a little chat with us, but they reassured me that they can usually tell and we don't look like those kind of people.

Super fun...and super cold. It still amazes me...it's in the teens outside, but the water is like a warm bath. Your hair gets icicles on it and it just seems funny to be swimming with earmuffs and beanies.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXNhSLig8ztdSd3AShEE0viwfOTkBvsmCG4AIVWTgVSjmNHLR5ABKXn204EfDO2iZqMi5UbwHYC3nJNmQu388uPe4iH7OLO1yzdAgAqMo9K-HL78qP9Gbz4KilVFoh5QrVccUTvLn9Hjao/s1600/IMG_0714.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXNhSLig8ztdSd3AShEE0viwfOTkBvsmCG4AIVWTgVSjmNHLR5ABKXn204EfDO2iZqMi5UbwHYC3nJNmQu388uPe4iH7OLO1yzdAgAqMo9K-HL78qP9Gbz4KilVFoh5QrVccUTvLn9Hjao/s320/IMG_0714.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493268242003625522" /></a>Is Tyler so cute in this pic?

It was really funny. Simeon even wore them for the Nativity...shepards totally had ski goggles. We had so much fun. We were so happy everyone could be there...even the Johnsons, who drove from Ohio with a three week old baby, to be with us! Amazing. Joel's parents had their "farewell" while we were there. They left for a mission in Barcelona, Spain! So cool...they are currently serving on the island of Malloraca.

Why can't I keep up with this blog? For the love.<br />So here is our family pictures that the most awesome HEATHER MANN took for us...yes, last October. So sad that it's taken me so long to post them. We are so lucky to have her as a friend...with benefits! Heather was super nice to meet us at this totally awesome place she found. She is seriously rad and we love her. She is so fun to be around and just makes you want to smile! She made us beautiful! We can't wait for our next family pics with her!

It's September now on our blog. Fabulous. So my Carterman started school! I know! We were going to wait and send him next year, seeing as how we can't afford preschool...why not do kindergarten twice! This picture was taken when he got home...I would not have sent him with stains already on his shorts...um, yes, I am stuggling with the new dirtyness of going to school...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtwioaNuUWB59IUibSUoYO30jqzdoGTG4QDSWA-7pWFgxTPCbTZpgkNp0yYSDB8t_w_ZSoKRhfIBvYHvxEUP1JD3GCZ3JnQyWX4D3KLCdIGFyvdKtVK3amuJ8dmc0swJcM0yC0Me0TSCp/s1600-h/IMG_0440.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtwioaNuUWB59IUibSUoYO30jqzdoGTG4QDSWA-7pWFgxTPCbTZpgkNp0yYSDB8t_w_ZSoKRhfIBvYHvxEUP1JD3GCZ3JnQyWX4D3KLCdIGFyvdKtVK3amuJ8dmc0swJcM0yC0Me0TSCp/s320/IMG_0440.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442428063137497346" /></a><br />I never thought I would be one of those mom's who cried when their kid went to school...I was always like, man, I will be so grateful for the break, but when I dropped him off the first morning. I walked him in, found his cubby for his backpack with him, he found his name at his table and sat down and I stood behind him wondering what I should do. He wasn't even looking at me. I finally leaned down and said, "Carter, I don't know what to do, should I stay or should I go?" Without even looking at me he said, "You should go mom. Just go." I was like, oh, well, okay. So, I apparently am no longer needed. I gave him a kiss and told him I hoped he had a great day and then I walked away...he didn't even look back at me. I will admit, as I walked back to my car, I did tear up...lame. He's doing great and loves school! <br /><br />Oh, my sweet Tyler. He really has been such a great baby. Enjoy these next few pictures of his adorableness!

I had never been before and neither had the kids. We had so much fun! We decided to make it a summer tradition when we go to Utah. Forget the little State Fairs, we are going to Lagoon. Seriously, the kids were in heaven. Mason and his cousin Alex went for a little drive.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_mTldpHy5OT2p_QEAEnMCjNz-aMwFk_SoyB3kjoqHu-iC7Ul8ZUysqVkRfMhfOul2LVE5hOq7L_oHwvnRfdp5VEpj6KglWMSv0rttCRp4HPOze9juafWj6RC5ataGE9E6LbQWtmrPdtB/s1600-h/IMG_0387.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 295px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8_mTldpHy5OT2p_QEAEnMCjNz-aMwFk_SoyB3kjoqHu-iC7Ul8ZUysqVkRfMhfOul2LVE5hOq7L_oHwvnRfdp5VEpj6KglWMSv0rttCRp4HPOze9juafWj6RC5ataGE9E6LbQWtmrPdtB/s320/IMG_0387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435267073034002258" /></a>This is Carter and his cousin Caitlin.

Funny. Actually, we spent the whole day doing kid rides and at the end of the day he ran with Chad and Troy and Will to do some "big boy" roller coasters. Sadly, he didn't have a lot of time...the kids were so done! Next time maybe I won't have a tiny baby and I can do the rides too!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6uBehEPgeuW6qrArUUnn8ESRSTIzFgyyxRiyp5HuvMoYAW-BiuhkizhmH02v7g29NDy1cmmuVsCXmGdEA4Q2AsUlzVCqDuBEjxFCtrVPo8zPqubxZ0qt9Fhhf_KyV_D5xR0dSplk_iaS/s1600-h/IMG_0407.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6uBehEPgeuW6qrArUUnn8ESRSTIzFgyyxRiyp5HuvMoYAW-BiuhkizhmH02v7g29NDy1cmmuVsCXmGdEA4Q2AsUlzVCqDuBEjxFCtrVPo8zPqubxZ0qt9Fhhf_KyV_D5xR0dSplk_iaS/s320/IMG_0407.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435266759039604674" /></a>Carter and Mason loved this little roller coaster and seriously did it like 30 times.

It was really neat...though, I have a hard time going with kids. I feel like I spend the whole time..."Don't touch that!", "Stay by us", "Are you kidding me!? Stop touching that!", "How could you already be so hungry, we just ate!".

Carter is always making sure we haven't forgotten him or left him behind and Mason just smothers him with love, literally! Actually, it's kind of funny, but Mason loves to smell Tyler. He sticks his nose on Tyler and sniffs. He's a nut.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdeEsfU9K965X4HpJV4l43__mwkgcXWkqgHvxwxq00UdtI4EvMo8QQXZSSVr5ePRf4iknHOrmUqOocIAbRBw-8sM1ZzBa0iC19lB0W3lAuy7M-nRXoPwsnodZYCPbA0ydMA9MngdJLtLBc/s1600-h/IMG_0141.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdeEsfU9K965X4HpJV4l43__mwkgcXWkqgHvxwxq00UdtI4EvMo8QQXZSSVr5ePRf4iknHOrmUqOocIAbRBw-8sM1ZzBa0iC19lB0W3lAuy7M-nRXoPwsnodZYCPbA0ydMA9MngdJLtLBc/s320/IMG_0141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385283691221596834" /></a>My brother Ben and his family came for a week shortly after Tyler was born and the kids had so much fun together.

We would like to introduce you to Tyler Spry Thompson*: the newest member of the Thompson Family. He came Monday, May 11th at 3:15pm weighing in at 8 lbs 6 oz and measuring 20 inches in length. He also has a surprisingly large amount of hair (for our kids anyway). Kadi is doing well. She went into labor Sunday evening at around midnight and we arrived at the hospital in Vancouver, WA at 5:30am. 3/4 of the laboring at the hospital was pleasant and easy going (epidural), but the last 1/4 made this probably the most difficult Thompson delivery (no more epidural...none). Looks like we have another stubborn kid...he wouldn't come out and was even sideways when he did finally do it. Kadi did an amazing job. I compared it to her finishing her own marathon.

We hope the rest of the Thompsons have an awesome time!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCh4FVCjddyC5Kqsz_UgyCasboo88-oA66c8iyjxVAx6l4zhZUdhCjQizNyt-4NO5yam3UyfUpusW23H-ihRQ6MZY9EIiqwpMm1ijmapn5ZltoU_2dqQqHr_T-LGveYADkmkumGsHu__tM/s1600-h/sleepingboysontheplane.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCh4FVCjddyC5Kqsz_UgyCasboo88-oA66c8iyjxVAx6l4zhZUdhCjQizNyt-4NO5yam3UyfUpusW23H-ihRQ6MZY9EIiqwpMm1ijmapn5ZltoU_2dqQqHr_T-LGveYADkmkumGsHu__tM/s320/sleepingboysontheplane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319132980474105250" /></a>Though the travel days were long it was so worth it. Our boys are pretty good travelers. They did get a little restless at the end of some of the flights, but for the most part they were great. We didn't even have any problems adjusting to the time change! This is what my boys looked like on the last flight...sweet huh! Sadly there isn't much lap left for them. I would say that was the worst part about the traveling...me...being over 7 months pregnant...Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-65219555325339672172009-01-02T18:35:00.000-08:002009-01-02T19:02:32.678-08:00Christmas Snow!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZ0JSDtqpHCQLDVDGPDft94Y8L0U9WRH5UtcyToN_4sLIoTrN0mgglWApKQaOr1LE98rfOQbKkkYVg4ATMFEnXHFIMqjyQo6DuXNa22cmUTmtP_xV8YkAyZxSWsnSlk-Q5dJXLnJ2J2J8/s1600-h/snowbuddies.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZ0JSDtqpHCQLDVDGPDft94Y8L0U9WRH5UtcyToN_4sLIoTrN0mgglWApKQaOr1LE98rfOQbKkkYVg4ATMFEnXHFIMqjyQo6DuXNa22cmUTmtP_xV8YkAyZxSWsnSlk-Q5dJXLnJ2J2J8/s320/snowbuddies.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286891350580924050" /></a>Seriously, we have had more snow this year than I can ever remember having when I grew up here.

We were so lucky when Doug and Jackie came and brought snow gear from Jackie's sister Stacey. She was so nice to let us borrow theirs' while they were out of town! Many thanks to Stacey!

Here is a little preview...Christmas was awesome!!! Both my brothers and their families came to visit and we had so much fun with them! We love them and already miss everyone so much! I have to say...is this tree just amazing? It is 10 feet tall!!! I totally loved our tree this year. We aren't used to getting snow, so that was a fun addition to our Christmas festivities this year. I got some video of everyone sledding and if I ever figure out how to get it from the video camera to the computer onto our blog, you might get to see it.

I know. Another boy. I figured it would be, but I admit I was a little disappointed because I really don't think I am having any more kids...not for sure, but pretty likely...so this was kind of a last shot for a girl, maybe...probably. I'm okay though. Boys are so fun and I am all set. The boys are so excited. I hate thinking of boy names though and we are all arguing...sorry, just me and Carter. The kid doesn't even get to name him, so I don't know why I'm arguing with him...Carter wants Max, Mason wants "that one", and I want Spry and Joel doesn't want any of those. I told him we should pull out our old list for when Mason was coming...Tate, Robbie, and I can't think of the other one...it was probably Mason because 3 boy names is a lot to have come up with. Anyway, Joel wants to start with a clean slate...wish us luck. I was happy to see though that the baby is healthy and he was moving all over. The lady doing the ultrasound did say though that I was on my way to another 8 POUNDER! Great...wonderful...I just have to pray that my doctor really will deliver me at 39 weeks this time. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZYcnfXpS_XsQ4mKhhJZONwjotYagrXpMIsck0B_XBJW6-iijTlH9RdR3mpKeYtDW9bdEHUus0UUXZNACkw0g1YLCAKQO1mX6tLPWa5kprU0Mq2A4yWrbY3GCjxJ8AaxoHa1hSDq3Tc-k/s1600-h/boysbowling.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZYcnfXpS_XsQ4mKhhJZONwjotYagrXpMIsck0B_XBJW6-iijTlH9RdR3mpKeYtDW9bdEHUus0UUXZNACkw0g1YLCAKQO1mX6tLPWa5kprU0Mq2A4yWrbY3GCjxJ8AaxoHa1hSDq3Tc-k/s320/boysbowling.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280250266573980850" /></a>But about our trip to Utah for Thanksgiving...so fun! This was such a great trip. We are so grateful to the Thompson family for all the good food and fun! We especially are thankful to the "Salt Lake Thompsons" for giving of their time to be with us. We know they are busy with their lives and they really spent a lot of time with us, which we totally loved! We went bowling and Carter especially loved that. He didn't want to stop and as soon as we were done wanted to know if we were going the next day too. We played soccer and kickball, which everyone got to participate in...Carter was having the time of his life! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNP0PCRwcXUqflLOqTJA1dZF0wEBgfa1aXHE5V22dJDAlbuXqPo9Ya8revxWYyr3iLMZn8VAMc5DTbdH4xu5d7Xr6Czhol8fOr3w1jv9PjkC7-V_eenl1MwCCAun6iYlnKdoi3vVvcJ6uC/s1600-h/masononhorse.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNP0PCRwcXUqflLOqTJA1dZF0wEBgfa1aXHE5V22dJDAlbuXqPo9Ya8revxWYyr3iLMZn8VAMc5DTbdH4xu5d7Xr6Czhol8fOr3w1jv9PjkC7-V_eenl1MwCCAun6iYlnKdoi3vVvcJ6uC/s320/masononhorse.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280250208312751666" /></a>Sweet Mason was just happy to be there doing whatever. They loved being around all their cousins and I hope got to know them a little better. We had a fabulous dinner. I would like to give a shout out to Todd for making a ham, saving my Thanksgiving. I have a problem...I dislike almost every dish served at Thanksgiving dinner, but this year, Todd made a ham and so while those who loved turkey, ate turkey, I got to eat ham and be super thankful. Some of the Hammers (Joel's mom's sister's family) joined us for Thanksgiving and that was wonderful as well. They are such a great family. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebgmcMBDy5dzC0Q3OjH2o8SQ9e9qfiNvj3F-as7XqwRk33XYVZMNSe9pEfYMrLktNfnpdrgHdtqz3IT9EBkbWvcH8xguk7yqbYNPvlWDDulGPjIR4IAmj3s4LijVy7azkB-XgJ5vv_9A2/s1600-h/sltemple.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 189px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebgmcMBDy5dzC0Q3OjH2o8SQ9e9qfiNvj3F-as7XqwRk33XYVZMNSe9pEfYMrLktNfnpdrgHdtqz3IT9EBkbWvcH8xguk7yqbYNPvlWDDulGPjIR4IAmj3s4LijVy7azkB-XgJ5vv_9A2/s320/sltemple.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280250008385974642" /></a>We made it to Temple Square and saw all the Christmas lights, which is always amazingly beautiful to me. I always joke that when I pay my tithing I mark on my sheet that I want my tithing to go towards the electric bill for the lights on Temple square. We finished that night off with some sweet hot chocolate at Joel's brother Eric's house. We went and saw the movie Bolt, which was better than I thought it would be. It was just a wonderful trip. We were only missing one Thompson, Joel's brother Connor and his family. We were so sad that they couldn't be there and they were most definitely missed. We love going to Utah and visiting with family. Joel has such an amazing family...he has wonderful siblings and fabulous parents! I couldn't have married into a better family. We can't wait until our next gathering!Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-23582326108537097142008-11-24T09:50:00.001-08:002008-11-24T10:15:13.035-08:00belated Halloween...First off, I'm sorry. After I wrote my last post I kept thinking that I shouldn't have asked to guess how far along I am. If someone else had done that I would have totally stressed about it and then probably avoided the question. So, that was dumb and sorry and sorry it took me so long to fix the problem. So in the picture I am barely 6 weeks. Crazy. I was so mad. I swear, the deal is sealed and the next day I start showing. I couldn't button my pants anymore at 6 weeks. It would have been nice to have a little grace period where you find out your pregnant and then you get to still have your body and just be happy about it, but no, before I find out I am already starting to get big and then a few days after I'm totally sick. I was praying that this pregnancy I would be put in a doctor enduced coma, but that didn't happen sadly. I am now 15 weeks and still sick...though having periods of relief...so it's gotta be on its way out. I got stopped on Saturday by 3 people, 2 of whom I didn't know, and they said, "Well, you look about due to have a baby soon." (I admit my belly is big, but I don't think I look like I'm almost due) I then told them that I'm only 15 weeks and one of them said, "Oh, do twins run in your family?" So, sadly, I just look big...which is totally dumb considering the baby is probably the size of an apple!!! I don't know why it thinks it needs so much space right now. I'm due May 14th, which feels really far away. We'll let you know when we find out what this little dude is...hopefully soon!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLellW33JZ7EJzo2UwQdCQZX6iHm_j1qCGAXi9ZPM5nYdgmwdNrDqbeEQFzRQnwwMfPCMeUnMjMUN-2_LKto3knvUQc-IwXQ79qv8B3hLDQoZZujj3hbQgh6UL67S1_jdcK2JSrTSYTuMF/s1600-h/halloweenboys.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLellW33JZ7EJzo2UwQdCQZX6iHm_j1qCGAXi9ZPM5nYdgmwdNrDqbeEQFzRQnwwMfPCMeUnMjMUN-2_LKto3knvUQc-IwXQ79qv8B3hLDQoZZujj3hbQgh6UL67S1_jdcK2JSrTSYTuMF/s320/halloweenboys.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272283250606984738" /></a>So here are the cute boys at Halloween. Carter picked out his costume this year. He wanted to be a bat...so there he is. He then told us that Mason would be the monkey that Carter wore last year. Mason didn't really want to wear any costume, but when we tried the chicken on that he was last year and then Carter's old monkey costume...Mason wanted the monkey. He had a little more room in it. He fought us a little wearing it, but once he understood the idea that he would get candy he didn't even know he had it on. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_IFkyj_7iq9i_W2tLMTvhcSno-69glUCjheqgyjBnBrFYIsYIT3RxedcSzffZkscCjGdYCg1tqHygh9piyPxbRX5Ji_l83yPPpngoi7x_CaRXQypsddX7onJUWH567Yjn0mtvGVx-MJX/s1600-h/halloweenwingspan.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_IFkyj_7iq9i_W2tLMTvhcSno-69glUCjheqgyjBnBrFYIsYIT3RxedcSzffZkscCjGdYCg1tqHygh9piyPxbRX5Ji_l83yPPpngoi7x_CaRXQypsddX7onJUWH567Yjn0mtvGVx-MJX/s320/halloweenwingspan.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272283175775882802" /></a>This is Carter's wingspan, which is probably why he picked the costume, he liked the wings. We tried to go trick-or-treating around my Mom and Dad's neighborhood and out of the 10 or so houses that are there only 2 were home. Carter was very discouraged and Mason was just annoyed. We went to the Ward Halloween Party after and they did some "trunk-or-treating" and were much happier. I'm terrible with thinking of costumes, so I would like to take this opportunity and give a huge shout out to Old Navy...they have made Halloween so easy for me. I don't know what I will do next year when Carter no longer fits in their cute little costumes...I'll probably be calling some of you who are really good at Halloween for help. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-3975902370124551302008-11-19T19:43:00.000-08:002008-11-19T20:10:29.252-08:00We've moved...yet again...Yes, we've moved again. Seriously, I think we've moved enough now. Joel decided to quite his job with the city of Bonney Lake and go back to school...and look for a job. We are hoping he finds a job really, really, really soon. He is looking in the Portland/Vancouver area. He is attending Portland State University to get a Real Estate Certificate...which is different from a license...he will have to write about that. He loves his classes and curriculum, which makes me feel much better. We are living with my parents in Silverlake (near Longview, WA) right now, until we find a job. Life is a little crazy...but hopefully there's a light at the end that I'm not seeing right now...<br />This was by far the worst move for us. We have moved 7 times in the 5 years we've been married and 5 of those 7 times I was either pregnant or had just had a baby. It has become a rule of moving for us...if we are going to move then I have to be pregnant or have a newborn. So according to rules, this move was no different...yep, totally prego and such great timing. Though this was a new adventure in that I was just barely pregnant, instead of being between 5 and 8 months, and I was totally sick. Pretty much useless. We have never had movers and I swear next time we move...because it is inevitable that we will...I am totally hiring someone. I don't care if it costs a million dollars, it will be so worth it. This was our most unorganized, unprepared, and miserable move. We are so grateful to all the people in our ward that helped us though. Joel and I are terrible at asking for and accepting help, but this time we had no choice and we had so much help. People watched our kids, dropped by meals, helped us pack and load, and helped us clean our house. Seriously, it was awesome and we felt so loved! We lived in Bonney Lake (2 years) longer than we have ever lived anywhere and were sad to leave our friends and our familiar surroundings. I was also sad to leave our awesome house that I loved to much. All in all things are going to be great...I hope. Joel is loving all he is learning and is excited to get into a career more specifically involved in economic development...such as a consultant or something. We are so grateful to all of our family and friends who helped us so much...Joel's parents even came from Utah to help us move...Thank you!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11obfZz7UXzo9FhQ5wEwKPv8WZlxnKihAoXPM1uQx4BDDx-GyHGPFbKC489UnQJQV59CQr0PrwOwJZbSvIA22Xhe0Uwkko3JOaVl6FzRu01qBD328bTYBgc600u49u3_nCCH_wgayxZ8P/s1600-h/kprego.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11obfZz7UXzo9FhQ5wEwKPv8WZlxnKihAoXPM1uQx4BDDx-GyHGPFbKC489UnQJQV59CQr0PrwOwJZbSvIA22Xhe0Uwkko3JOaVl6FzRu01qBD328bTYBgc600u49u3_nCCH_wgayxZ8P/s320/kprego.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270580541890732178" /></a><br />I had to take a picture...guess how far along I am in this picture...and if you say you can't even tell I look pregnant than my feelings will really be hurt because that is not what I normally look like!<br /><br />I will try and be a better blogger (though I have been checking all of yours, just not updating mine)...life has just been crazy and I haven't been all that happy about life...but no worries...Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-34116737630176735502008-09-24T19:56:00.000-07:002008-09-24T20:18:17.693-07:00conversation with Carter...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3XOjREfBb9NElaowO5DY1IPp0TvdvjjKMpsR9VyXU-jgOUkR1dcyRExb0bQ8uEvgY7DMh7qzFdNtNYHDsSsO3wB6Tk0PEE7Wqwhvh8JnXBl9_N46Aoyu67JEufcwGHMvw2wMrUlvSlej/s1600-h/cscriptures.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3XOjREfBb9NElaowO5DY1IPp0TvdvjjKMpsR9VyXU-jgOUkR1dcyRExb0bQ8uEvgY7DMh7qzFdNtNYHDsSsO3wB6Tk0PEE7Wqwhvh8JnXBl9_N46Aoyu67JEufcwGHMvw2wMrUlvSlej/s320/cscriptures.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249789314925395426" /></a>This was a conversation between Carter and I last Sunday at church while the Sacrament was being passed.<br />Carter is kind of squirming around...<br />Mom: Carter you're supposed to be thinking about Jesus right now. Are you thinking about Jesus?<br />Carter: Yes. (matter-of-factly)<br />Mom: What are you thinking about Jesus?<br />Carter: Cars.<br />Mom: You mean like Jesus driving a car?<br />Carter: No, like he's going to give me a car.<br /><br />Wow. The car gene goes deeper than I thought. Cars are always on this kid's mind. When I recited this story to Joel later, Carter said that he was actually thinking about how Jesus created cars...I guess that's a little bit better than him giving him a car...what a nut!<br /><br />This is a picture of Carter on the Sunday back in June when he gave the scripture for Primary. He memorized it and was so cute. He walked right up to the podium with my scriptures, but without me...opened the scriptures up to somewhere and then recited his scripture perfectly.

Their new thing at the time of this picture, which was in June (sadly, notice how in June my boys are having to wear jeans and sweatshirts...welcome to Washington!), was to pretend to sleep on the stairs.

I love my sweet Joel and love my kids (which is why I had to post cute pictures of them), but why is life so not like on tv. Why are things so hard and why do things not work out the way I planned them to. I always wanted to be a mom. Ask anyone I went to high school with, that was my dream. I was going to be an awesome wife who made cookies and took them to my husband's work and I would make great meals and I was going to have 9 boys.

So, let me tell you how that pans out...I'm not an awesome wife and I rarely make cookies and when I do, we eat them (mainly me). Uh, I don't make dinner hardly...we do eat dinner, just things like Mac and Cheese, Pasta Roni, pizza, chicken (the breaded frozen kind that I only have to heat up) and our veggies consist of either corn or broccoli. Awesome huh. Are you all salivating? Let's see 9 boys...not going to happen.

In my dream world, which I thought was reality, it was awesome to be pregnant and kids were so fun and obedient and I had tons of energy. Seriously what happened? Why when I ask my kids to come get ready for bed, do they flip out? Why does one take toys from the other? How do 4, 3, and even 2 year olds know how to talk back and why do they actually do it? Why is potty training such a nightmare...is this really that hard of a concept...when you pee you just do it in the toilet and not in your pants. Why do people keep telling me it doesn't get better, just new and different problems with each stage...awesome. Why do toddlers get into everything even after you tell them a million times to get out...why is the dishwasher so cool and the toilet water and the remote and the phone and electrical outlets...I admit, I am totally anal. I make things harder for myself because I want things a certain way...I want a clean and tidy house and I don't want my kids to get dirty because then I have to destain their clothes because I don't want them wearing stained up clothes that I spent money on. Why is it so tiring to be with them all day and why do I keep wanting to get away? Why am I still complaining when it is 5:15 pm and I should be downstairs making some Mac and Cheese or something for dinner...I guess that's enough venting for now...just so you know, I do love my family and they really are awesome...Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357868544037020401.post-36724308779363119232008-08-12T16:10:00.001-07:002008-08-12T17:00:40.405-07:00Good old Utah!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH9pAjsEuUZpE8yyKMOvCuBIWMwaaNju_hWWc9HPo-j4zR3Zg4EDJeOOqq0vrJRbuJ2V7q-fhwg_aWO-U24CcPtQiSn7BeUbuhVV0ik0fUfijLV-M5ICjYJGDo3cJAxF939Av7BBuMoGX/s1600-h/kidsinmorgan.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHH9pAjsEuUZpE8yyKMOvCuBIWMwaaNju_hWWc9HPo-j4zR3Zg4EDJeOOqq0vrJRbuJ2V7q-fhwg_aWO-U24CcPtQiSn7BeUbuhVV0ik0fUfijLV-M5ICjYJGDo3cJAxF939Av7BBuMoGX/s320/kidsinmorgan.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233773341927382610" /></a>We just got back from a too short, but super fun trip to Utah.

He would just go to the edge and say "hi daddy". Joel got to do some wakeboarding and even a little slalom skiing. I was super happy because it was so nice and hot! Even though our trip was so short, we had a great time with everyone and can't wait to see them again. <br /><br />I have to complain a little now...we drove...enough said...okay, not enough said. We had five days over a weekend to go and two of them were spent driving. I am never driving to Utah again. Okay, so I say that everytime we drive and then end up driving again...Joel is too persuasive. This time I might, maybe, be serious though. The drive home was the pits. Mason is at a bad car traveling age in my opinion. He doesn't last long before he gets sick of being in the car and then just cries. We left at 6 in the morning and just before Twin Falls, ID he started crying...we had only been driving for three hours and had, hmm, only 9 to 10 more hours to go. We stopped at Twin Falls and had breakfast where we watched these bridge jumpers jump off this amazing bridge. I don't know if you can see the blue parachute in the picture of the bridge, but it's there. It was really cool, though I told the kids they couldn't ever do that. Then we took a super fun picture of the our super happy kids and the beautiful canyon...pleasant. Then we went through the open house for the Twin Falls Temple which was so beautiful and awesome, but not so much for the kids. Carter the entire time was whining about the cookie he wanted that this nice Sister Missionary promised him after the tour, but that he thought he got right that second...and Mason was just done with everything. It was really awesome though and so cool to be able to take our kids there...serious it was really neat. So three hours later we were back on the road. It's noon now and we still have 9 to 10 hours without stopping to get home. I'll just sum of really fast...my tailbone gives me problems now all the time and I can't sit in the car for that long and then Mason threw up in Ellensburg where morons close their gas stations before 11pm and we had to knock on the locked glass sliding door and ask them as they are counting their till if they would let us in for paper towels and water...Carter then complains about this nasty smell as he tries to bury his face in the side of his carseat and tells Mason "We don't throw up in cars". We didn't get home until after 1am and instead of just crawling into bed, we had to clean up a nasty car seat...seriously, besides the driving, a super fun trip!Kadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04014066432736486648noreply@blogger.com4
