Exciting Week!





Well this last week has been very exciting. Well to start things off Carson put his hand in the treadmill while I was running and got 2nd and 3rd degree burns on three of his fingers and palm. On one of his fingers the skin was gone almost to the muscle. But thankfully there were no broken bones and he still has all movement in his fingers so it will heal fine. He has been a real trooper and it hasn't slowed him down at all. He only complains when I have to change the bandages which is about three times a day. So I get to play doctor this week. If you ask him if the doctor fixed his owies he says "no mama fixes them" which makes me feel good. Because I feel horrible because I was right there. Though I did say "don't touch or else you will get hurt" and 2 seconds later he did it. 

Then Dustin bought us a new house so now we are moving again. Yeah. I guess I should have seen it coming. Ok i did. But This is deffinately a house we stay in for a while. It still needs to be finished so we won't be moving for a couple months.

Next Afton decided to start crawling. She still has a funny leg as she does it and kind of slow but getting somewhere none the less. She also figured out how to get from her stomach to a sitting position. Milestones are fun but that means my baby is getting big! She is so fun gibbering and just being plain cute.

And last but of course not the least Carson finally decided that he is going to use the potty! It has only been a day but he refuses to put a diaper on. So far he hasn't had an accident. But we will see how it goes. I hope this finally it. I have been pushing this for a while. But it has to be on his terms.

So now I am busy trying to get my house in shape to sell and getting the other one in shape to move into. Halloween is in a couple days. And now a two year old being potty trained. And a cute crawl doll to keep track of. One day it will slow down right? Cuz I am going crazy!

Cabin. Cousins. What else do you need.

We got to go to the cabin up in Island Park, Idaho over conference weekend. Carson got to hangout with his cousins which he absolutley loves. He got to be with his best bud Kyler and wants to be just like his cousin Jaxon who is eight. Whatever Jaxon did he wanted to do. One day we went on a family golf trip. It was only nine holes but it took us about 3 hours. But we had a great time (even Afton!).

The next day we went to Yellowstone to look for animals. Well I don't think they wanted us to find them. They are usually easy to find especially the buffaloes and elk. But we drove and drove not finding anything. We finally found a heard of buffalo blocking traffic in a spot. Some people were outside their cars taking pictures. Then a couple of big bull buffaloes started running towards them. Luckily they just ran past them but the people didn't even flinch. I was in the car about to have a heart attack thinking they were about to be trampled. Some people are just plain stupid! Anyways we decided to go and see Old Fatihful. Which always pleases the kids.

The rest of the time we just chilled at the cabin while it poured outside. Carson did get in a couple of rides on the dirt bike. He thinks he needs one now, but I think we will try to master a regular bike first.
