Carson's First Day of Preschool!

So the day finally came. He's been asking for two years when he would get to go to school. So on September 2nd he got to go to preschool. His teacher's name is Mrs. Pett and he absolutely adores her. Kaylee went to the same preschool and was a little upset that she wouldn't be able to go with him and still go to her school. She loved Mrs. Pett just as much as he does. They do so many fun things and he always comes home telling us what they did but then later it's like pulling teeth to get him to talk about it...which is weird because his mouth is always going. He also likes to be very independent and not have me walk him in there which is kind of sad because he is my little man. I love it though.

Trout Farm Fishing

Okay...so after our last fishing trip in July and no one experiencing the excitement of catching a fish in August we decided to go fishing at a trout farm in North Ogden. We all had a ton of fun. We all liked catching the fish all except Carson. We had to convince him to put the fish food down and actually put the pole in the water. He just loved feeding the fish and seeing them swarm around the food. It was funny. We all caught one fish each and then we let Shelby and Kaylee catch another one. The kids had a great time and Carson kept asking for more fish food!

Clinton's New Fire Station

Okay...so this is a little late but I wanted to show some picture of when we went to see the new fire station. Clinton just built a brand new fire station and got a brand new ladder truck. So with some other people in our neighborhood Carson and I went to check it out while the girls were in school.

One of the firefighters got in their gear to show the kids that firefighters may look a little scary when they come to a fire but they're really not scary and if they are in a house that's on fire they should not hide from them but go to them or have the firefighter come to them by yelling. So they got to give her a high five and shake her hand.

Then they showed us the fire truck. The ladder that they have goes 150 feet in the air and one of them climbed it. It was REALLY high!

There was a bell on the front of the truck and a fireman let Carson push the button to ring the bell. He loved that! We had a ton of fun but then when it was over all Carson wanted to do was go to the store and get a treat. That's his favorite thing to do.

The Amazing Houdini!

So last Sunday, the 24th, Carson was being too much of a little boy and had to be sent to time out (he wouldn't sit at the dinner table with the family for family dinner). For time out they have to sit in the laundry room. So he was in there for a couple of minutes and it got REALLY quiet. I went to check on him and this is what I found.

He was asleep! Can you even imagine trying to fold yourself up in that? Then when we woke him up he was crying because I think his feet were asleep. Needless to say we got him changed and put him in bed for the night. What a crazy kid!

Fishing For Family Night

Well this past Monday Curt called and had the idea to go fishing for Family Night. We all agreed because it sounded like fun. Obviously we had forgotten the last time we went when it took the grand total of maybe five WHOLE minutes before we heard the words, "I'm bored." So we packed some sandwiches and drove up past Morgan to a place called Lost Creek where Curt had gone fishing with some friends from work. They even caught some fish. So we thought it would be quite different this time. Well we got there and fished for a couple of hours without having a single nibble (by a fish that is). Shelby caught a crawdad but it got away but it was neat to see. We also lost about 7 or 8 hooks from snags at the bottom of the reservoir. It was quite an adventure.

During our time there Curt decided to try a slightly different spot and accidentally slipped and his foot went in the mud. It was hard for us not to burst out with laughter until he started joking about it. Then we all thought it was funny! At the end after having no luck we decided that if there were fish around we would scare them away by throwing rocks in the water which is what Carson was dying to do the whole time we were there. So everybody threw rocks in the water and Curt proved he really does have Herculean strength by throwing in the biggest rocks and making the biggest splashes. The kids laughed so hard especially when they were splashed as well.

We left there about 9:30pm and the kids fell asleep on the way home (thank goodness because it was a school night and I was worried about having to get them up in the morning!) It was a lot of fun even though we didn't catch anything and surprising to the two of us Kaylee asked if we could go back the next night and do it all again.

I've Always Wanted To Be A Princess!

I found this quiz on a friend's blog and I am Cinderella. This is what it says about me:


You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Kaylee's Hawaii Day!

Okay, one last post for today. I have to post this because it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen and it makes me laugh just thinking about it. Last Thursday Kaylee spent the day with Grandma Nye and baby Tre. They were out on the patio and Grandma said they were having a "Hawaii Day". Kaylee was in her swimming suit and they were pretending they were in Hawaii. So anyway, Grandma tells Kaylee to do the hula and she recorded it. This is her version of the hula--notice what she does with her cup. That's the funny part...at least to me and the more you watch it the funnier it gets!
