Camping, camping, baby blessing and other stuff :)

Isn't she just so cute? I sure think so


Alix likes to share toys with Carter. By the time she was done I think she had just about every toy out. What a nice sister!

When Carter was two weeks old our air conditioning went out and it was incredibly warm in the house so we went camping one Monday night, Carter's first camping trip. We had a great time. More people should camp on a Monday night. It was perfect!

Jeremy cooking us dinner. Roasted hot dogs, tasty tasty!

Oh Alix, my little goofball. I just love her!

We camped at Timpanooke up American Fork canyon and it was beautiful! We went for a little hike, Jeremy carried Carter and ended up packing Alix on his shoulders most of the time too. What a buff man I have!


This pretty much sums up Carter's camping experience:

Our next camping trip with the four of us was with my family at Currant Creek Resevoir. We stopped at the dam on the way up and went for a little walk and got some pictures.

Our first picture we took by ourselves with the four of us. It's tricky trying to get everyone in!

Jeremy and Carter, of course Carter is sleeping again. He only stays awake for hours on end in the middle of the night when we're camping

We all thought this picture of Ema was so funny! She looks like one of those starving kids on the tv commercials (which is not funny, bytheway). Doesn't she just look so forlorn? I just love the messy face!

"You too can feed a child for only 99 cents a day"

Alix and Ema fighting over who gets to sit on the stroller. They both fit, Alix was just being a stinker!

Aren't we just so cute!!

Carter's blessing

Jeremy blessed Carter this last Sunday. I am so grateful for Jeremy and his worthiness to hold the priesthood and give us blessings when we are in need. I am so grateful for this gospel, for the truth that we have and the privilege and opportunity we have to live the fullness of the gospel and to share it with those around us. I am so grateful for my little family, for Jer, Alix and Carter and the joy they bring me. I have an amazing family and an amazing life. I can't wait for more good times to come! I love you hunny, thanks for all you do for us and our kids

I could not stop laughing at that picture! She totally looks like one of those commercials! I'd be happy to make a donation ;) Congrats on Carter's blessing, he's so adorable!

Jessica, your kids are adorable! Congratulations on baby Carter. He sure looks a lot like Alix. Keep blogging!

My favorite picture was Alix showing her distress at not getting the stroller. The starving kid tie in was very clever! I wonder how many of the other starving kid pictures are staged?

It was fun to see you. Great pictures of the kidos together. You just have to watch the sharing and stop it before it gets to the food.
