Should I feel Guilty?

Last week was Carson's first day of preschool.  He was so excited to go and I was excited for him to go. Well the first day came and he put on his back pack and said "k mom its time". We got there and he ran in and started playing with the kids. He didn't even care that I was there. I finally went over to him and said "ok honey I am leaving" and tried to hug him. He looked at me and and said "ok bye!". No hug he was to busy playing with the kids. I left and I thought hmmm my baby is growing up and obviously doesn't need me as much anymore. Should I cry? Should I be upset? What am I going to do with him gone for a couple hours? PARTY!!!! I think I was just as excited as he was for him to start going to school. He absolutely loves going so it makes me happy to send him. So the question is should I feel guilty for not crying? Or even for not feeling sad? 

Should

God Bless College Football!

In the words of my wonderful husband "God bless college football"! Yes it is that time of year. I admit that I do not feel the same way. But when we woke up on saturday and say his face it was like Christmas morning. Because it makes him happy I act like I enjoy it too. I grew up in a house of girls and my dad wasn't into sports, so I had never seen this side of men. I have to say ever since I got married I have learned a lot about football. It looks like it going to be a good year! Go Cougars!

High on a mountain top....

At the top!

My family (mom, dad, sisters and bro.-in-law) and I decided to hike to Mt Timpanogos Cave this past weekend. This was my first time and did not know that it was kind of a hard hike. I mean practically strait up hill. I am on a training schedule and ran 5 miles that morning (stupid!) and then did the hike. But to be honest I made it up fine, down was the killer. After making it up and walking through the cave I was exhausted, so was Carson. He made me carry him all the way down the mountain. Though I was really proud of him because he walked all the way up he mountain by himself. He thought the cave was really cool (he was scared at first because it was dark). Dustin stayed home with Afton because she was sick and it was a good thing, she would have wined the whole time and would not have enjoyed it at all. It was rough but we did have a good time. Needless to say we will not be doing it anytime soon (at least not w/kids!).

They call this the "Heart" of the cave.

(it looks like a heart, right?)

Super Heroes and New Boots!

So Carson can make anything into a weapon or something for a super hero. He found these and of course they are rocket boosters. And Afton has to do the same thing. I just thuoght they were cute running around the house (oops I mean flying around).


My mom bought Afton these boots even before she was born. We thought that they might fit her about the time she was two. Well her feet suddenly grew about 2 sizes so we decided to see if they fit. And they do! She absolutely loved them and would not take them off (not even to put pants on!).

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.
