Carson and Mal

We made our annual trip to Lagoon. Well Dustin already went with Carson earlier this year, but I wanted to take Afton. I thought that she would have a lot of fun on the rides because she has no fear and is such a dare devil. And she did awsome! She went on all the rides either with me or with Carson. She was still a little wary about it but never cried. I think her favorite ride was Bulgy the Whale because it was just about her speed and movement. And Carson, well I think his favorite part was the 5 cute teenage girls that he was hanging out with (my sis and her friends came with us). His is at the age where he just loves it all. It was such a fun day even though Dustin did not come I sure loved having my mom there.

Swimming Lessons


So we have had a fun filled busy summer. Therefore as you can tell I need to catch up. So here are a few, I will update again when I get the rest of my pictures uploaded. 

I've gone crazy!

 Ever since I was diagnosed with diabetes I have been working my but off at the gym just to try and control it instead of having to go on medication. Well it worked for a little while but it looks like I will still have to go on it anyways. Well I am down bout 20 lbs woo hoo! But I still want to get my body into better shape to fight this disease so what do I do? Sign up for a marathon? I wish! I am totally not there yet. But I did sign up for a half. Big deal for me because I HATE running. I am slowly learning to love it.  I can't believe that I decided to do it but it gives me something for me to work towards. So here we go! I just started training so wish me luck!

Fun in the sun!

Ok so I have a little catching up to do. As you can tell the last post was about June and it is July now. Oh well better late than never right! Well last week there was finally some good weather so we headed up to Pineview resevoir to to a little boating and my parents were camping. It was fun to have a relaxing day and bask in some sunshine. Usually there are some nice beaches to play on, but this year there has been so much water that the lake was full to the brim! But we still has a great time. 

Carson decided that he is big enough to ride in the tube behind the boat all by himself! Funny because last year he wanted nothing to do with that tube, he would not even sit in it at the beach. It was fun to see him get back there and be brave. But it was also sad because it was just another thing showing me that he is growing up fast. He watch my sister ride it and learned to say "HIT IT!" when he was ready to go, and how to put his hand up to stop. It was cute because all you could see was his hands holding on and his little head bopping up and down.

Afton just had a great time playing in the sand and water. And of course she enjoyed the cupcakes my mom brought.

Afton being the Godess she is!

Brrrrr! But fun!

Ok so June was unseasonably cold this year. So what did we decide to do? Go to the cabin where it was even colder! But is was fun to go up there because we have not been in a while. We had some fun with the cousins and grandparents. We spent one day at Yellowstone and got to see a lot of animals. And the next day we just hung out at the cabin and vegged! Carson just loves to explore and it is so beautiful up there it is always great fun!

The beautiful flowers Carson picked for me.

Afton screams for ice cream!

So me being the smart mom I am gave Afton a little ice cream cone in the back seat. Well I turned around when we got home and well I think the pictures speak for themselves. It was all over the door, Afton, the carseat, the ceiling, just everywhere!  But man she was happy!

Baseball

So the city we live in does something called "itty bitty baseball" for 3 & 4 year olds and I signed Carson up. It was fun to watch him interact with all the other kids and learn new stuff. At first they just had  stations where they would learn one thing like catching, throwing, hitting, running bases etc. But then they started to play games and and all craziness began. It was very entertaining and fun to watch. Carson is really good at hitting the ball but paying attention and not goofing off is definately something we need to work on. Next we will be doing itty bitty soccer. Though he has already informed me that he is not a soccer player. Sorry I didn't get very good pictures but here are some.
