Boston!

Me and Afton flew across the country to Boston to see the Elwell Family. It was very nerve racking flying by myself with a baby but I couldn't of asked for a better baby to fly with. She was absolutely great (thankfully) even though she was cutting a tooth! You are probably wondering why I didn't take Carson. Well he is two now and I would have to buy him a ticket and this was supposed to just be a vacation for me. I had to take Afton because she is still attached. Dustin could not leave work and traveling with a toddler and a baby by myself was NOT happening. Though i missed him terribly he had a great time working with his dad. 

I had a great time in Massachusetts. It was wonderful to see Sarah and her family. We miss them so much. Of course we went shopping (a few times). We also went to Salem, and to the New England Aquarium. One night we left the kids with Chris and went on a Ghost and Graveyard tour of Boston. It was really cool and great fun. They took us to a couple of old graveyards in Boston. One of which is where John Hancock, John Adams, and Paul Revere are buried. They told some old ghost stories as we drove around downtown. It was great. The next day we went to the beach even though it was in the sixties. Brrr it was cold but I had to see it.  I mainly went out just to hang out with Sarah and her cute family. And we did just that. I will have to go back someday and actually do some history tours with my husband.  We just love the Elwell family and miss them. I want to thank them for letting me come as stay with them. I hope to see them soon. We are now home safe and sound and can't wait for our next adventure!

 

We found it!

Ok so this summer has been very busy and fun. But we also had a little drama. Just after we got back from Pocatello I lost my wedding ring or should I say Carson put it in a special place. I usually put it on my nightstand by my bed when I sleep. Carson is too short to reach the top so it was never a problem of him getting to it, or so I thought. I didn't go to put it on for a couple of days because I was just cleaning and doing laundry. When I went to put it on it was gone. I started tearing my room and my closet apart. I was devastated. But I knew that Carson had done something with it and it was in the house somewhere. Well I was right after about three weeks Dustin pulled out his suitcase to pack for his trip and reached into one of the pockets and felt something. There were some bouncy balls, money, and the ring! He pulled it out and I was elated! I feel so much better and will never take it off again. But I think we might have a hoarder on our hands.

Well we went to Lagoon with the cousins earlier this month. That is definitely  a once a year trip. But Carson had fun riding all the kiddie rides with his cousins. But man it was hot hot hot!

It is so fun so see my kids together. You can tell the just love each other. Afton always smiles when she sees her brother. And Carson is so cute with her. He says "I just love her." I hope it stays that way but he already gets mad when she grabs one of his toys. 

We also got to spend some time with Sarah and her cute kids while they were out here for a few days. Carson and Beckham had a great time together. We miss them a lot.

The Fourth!

Well another fourth of july has come and gone. Time really flies! We decided to go up to Pocatello to spend the holiday with Dustin's family. This is actually the first time we have spent the fourth with them. We have always done something with my family like the big breakfast we used to put on or camping. It was nice to let Carson and Afton spend sometime with the cousins. Carson gets along with Kyler so well but as all two year old the do squabble here and there. They just play so well together even though we don't see them all that often. They enjoyed swimming, riding their spiderman scooters, and picking grandma's  strawberries and washing them off in the pool then eating them. 

We also got to go swimming and go boating. It was a fun filled weekend that left us with little sleep but great memories. We actually got Carson on the tube behind the boat! And Afton got her first boatride. Overall we had a great time.

And now we enter the dog days of summer. And I really wish that I had a yard to let Carson play in. But that will come soon I hope. Until then I hope to hear from you all soon.

The Four Kuttlers

Well here we go! I don't consider myself good on the computer by any means but this is a great way to get info and give info about our family and friends. So I will try to keep up with updating as much as I can. So here it is.

Dustin is doing pretty well with his job this year. We didn't know how it would go this year with the housing market and all. But so far it has treated us well. We pray that it stays that way (we never know). He tries to golf anytime he can get away with it. But I am trying to get him to finish our yard. He will be going to Bend Oregon at the end of July to golf all week so I really don't feel that bad if I don't let him go golfing sometimes. 

Carson is almost two and a half and is definately a handful. He just has so much energy I can't keep up sometimes.  He just loves to be outside in the good weather. He has a new spiderman scooter and loves to go "really fast" on it down the driveway. He is into dinosaurs, spiderman, and of course still trains. We went ride on Thomas the train a few weeks ago. But he threw a fit because he wanted to be in the engine instead of the train cars. He is all boy. And I just love every minute with him. He has also turned out to be a great big brother. 

Afton is our newest addition. She was born on March 1st. We say she is our favorite because she she waited for her mom to get her hair colored and her dad to get a golf game in and then came. My contractions didn't really start till he got home from golfing and then we barely made it to the hospital on time! She was 6 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long with a lot of hair! Well I have been blessed again with a wonderful baby. She hardly ever cries and she sleeps great, and she has the most pleasant personality. She is always smiling and talking to you. She has started to giggle and roll over. Which is exciting but sad at the same time. I realize now that time just flies by. 

Well I have been busy with two kids now. Though is has been easier than I thought it would be.

I love being a mom and am rewarded every dad when I see them. We moved into a new house just before I had Afton and I just love it! I generally spend my days cleaning, taking care of the kids, and trying to ware out Carson! And trying to figure out this whole potting training thing. He is just not interested. Well thats it for now.
