Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween we went to the ward dinner and the trunk or treat. We had a lot of fun. Carson was very good at handing out the candy.

Carson was the football and Cody and I were the refs.
Thanks to my mom for doing our shirts we got many complaints saying wow we couldn't tell those were hand made.

Fall Fun and update

Carson and I have been having a lot of fun on some adventures. We went to touch a truck. Where all these big Trucks, tractors, and Fire engines come and then we can climb inside and have a look around. Carson was funny he wanted to look at them but want me to hold his hand. Until he saw and petted a dog that was there and then he thought it was OK if mom isn't holding my hand. I think he had fun. We just wish daddy could come with us. It is always more fun with daddy.
Not sure about the fire engine.


We had the opportunity to go to The Mason's ward camp out. We had fun, but then again wished daddy could come with us.

It was really cold in the morning but we still wanted to be outside so what does I do puts on Carson coat and hiking boots over his PJ's and away he went go.




I caught this picture to late because he was just lying there looking up at the trees. but then he saw me with the camera and got up.










What a big helper he was. Although he never left my side, and cried and woke up the whole camp when mom had to go to the bathroom.
Little update on the family.
Carson: He starting to talk more and is signing more and please. He is going to nursery but cries almost the entire time. He loves to read and read his truck book and make truck sounds. He also makes car sounds when he is playing with them on the floor. He is so much and so glad he came to our family.
Ashley and baby:We are doing good. The baby is 18 week ago. I'm feel the baby move all the time. I was called to be the Secretary in the primary. That has sure kept me busy but its good.
We find out the sex of the baby on the 26Th of Oct. I'm hoping its a girl but I'm good with either one. Leave a comment on your guess of whether the baby is a boy or girl
Cody: Has been super busy with work. He went to Dallas Texas for a week and finished the Management Training Program. He is the official assistant manager now. Cody was called to Priest Quorum adviser. Cody has to work every Saturday so we miss him on the weekends when all the fun seems to happen.
All in all we are doing good and like it here in Prescott.

Summer Fun and Lake Powell

We have had a really fun summer so far.

I do have a funny story that have happened this last week. One we were at this lynx lake (one of the many lakes here) and when we first got up there. We forgot to get cash so we could pay the self service fee. So we drove down to the ATM at Costco then drove back up there. When we got there it was a five dollar parking fee and all we pulled had was a $20. So Cody and I searched in the car and found $4.05. So back down the canyon to the Gas Station to get change. At this point Cody was very frustrated and wanted to go home but I insisted that we go back up there and throw rocks in the lake and just have fun as a family. So we went back up there and paid our five dollars by the way we could have paid with a check but didn't notice this until we had five dollars cash. So then we went down to the water and started to throw rocks in. We hadn't been there five minutes and Carson fell and rolled into the water and got all wet and muddy. So we stripped him down to his diaper and had to take some pictures of him by the sign that said no swimming or wadding.

Sorry for the nakedness seen in these following pictures


On Sunday Carson was so tried at church and he would not got to sleep there at all. So when church was all done we put Carson in the car seat and not a mile down the road he was asleep. So when we got home we took him out and tried to wake him because I really didn't think a nap at 5 pm was a good idea. So anyway he wouldn't wake up so we just laid him on the living room floor. This what church did to Carson.




For the Fourth of July. My parents came down to spend time with the McDaniel's and Masons and we had a lot of fun. On Thursday Mom, Dad, Cody, Carson and I all went to the Worlds Oldest Rodeo. Then Friday Mom and Dad went to Amanda and Jarred's to be with the kids and then they drove Amanda and the kids to our house for the rest of the weekend. On Saturday we got up early and went down town Prescott and watched the parade. Cody even got off work for a couple of hours to be with us. The Parade was two hours long and we all got sunburn and were tired so we got pizza and went home for naps before the ward BBQ. Sunday Jarred and Jarred Sister Lacy and His Brother Josh and his family came up and we had a nice dinner and then saw the Prescott fireworks. It was a busy weekend but We sure loved the Company and fun was had by all.





LAKE POWELL 2010
This year just Carson and I went to Lake Powell with Amanda and Jarred and their family. Jessica and her two boys and my mom and dad. It was fun we got to play in the sand and just hang out with family. The weather didn't turn out the best but we made the best of it. A big downer was the day before we left Amanda jumped off the house boat and hurt her foot. But we had fun.

This is a sand castle that the three of us made. Carson loved the sand.



Sorry I don't know how to flip pictures on here yet so just turn you head to the right. :)

New Chapter of our Lives

I know most of you already know this but I thought I would update the blog. We have moved to Prescott AZ because Cody accepted a job with Sherwin Williams here.

Cody got the job offer the day he graduated and the store in Prescott needed him immediately so we came down to Prescott on May 6 and started to look for a housing. We found this great two bedroom two bath Duplex with a two car garage and a fenced backyard. One thing I have noticed is no one has grass. So instead of grass we all have rocks which is weird to me be but fine.

Cody started work on May 10, as a Management Trainee and will be the Assistant manager at the Prescott store in 6 weeks. Carson and I went back to the house in Layton to pack up and get everything ready to move.

We moved on May 20. We had so much help on both ends of this move. We are so grateful for all the help. We are so happy to be together again it was a long 10 days.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the new house, but maybe soon.

Graduation

Cody graduated on April 23 from Weber State University with his Bachelors in Business Administration. We are so proud of him and all his hard work.

We had a lot of family support to get us through this part of our lives. We are so thankful to the Lord for all our many blessing. We look back on the last year and we are amazed how much the Lord took care of us.

It has been a long with out updating

Wow its been forever since I have updated this thing. Just to update you on our family.

Carson is almost one, walking, taking a few steps by himself, his favorite toy is a tonka truck named "chuck" and a texas long horns hat. He is now getting into everything. Like today he opened my dresser drawer and started to pull out all my shirts. He loves to play with the toleit paper and my tampons but he only gets to do this while I'm getting ready for the day.

Cody is working hard and hopefully will know soon about meeting with the regional mangager in denver. He is also graduating with his bacholors on April 23. Yeah only a month away and no more school for at least a couple of years until he goes back for his MBA.

I'm just hanging in there for the ride. I went to St.George a couple of weeks ago for the weekend just me and Carson. We had so much fun. It was a nice getaway and change of pace for us.














Went Private

I decide to make our blog private so only the people we choose can read what is going on. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause but I think it will be the best for our family.
