Our day

This was our day yesterday...

We woke up to some great weather so we had the windows open. Got the boys dressed. 2 seconds after putting Jonah in a really cute outfit on he exploded in it so I changed him again.

Then we ate breakfast and Jonah wanted Carson to share his crackers. "Ahhhhhh me too me too" he says.

Carson was actually willing to take some pictures so he wanted to give his brother a hug and kiss. I told Carson your such a good big brother he said "I know I am, and Jonah is a good little brother."

Then we went to the park. It felt great outside! We ran around and played baesball.

Jonah was very smiley so I got a bunch of pics. And then both boys took a bath.

Then we all took a nap. Carson was pretending at first but I knew he was tired!

When we all woke up I did laundry and the boys played. Jonah was very awake and aware so I layed him under some toys. I rolled him to his tummy and he totall rolled over! I kept making him do it, he did it 4 times! He is not even 6 weeks old; man he is strong. So the first things Jonah ever learned to do was smile (which was like Monday) and then rolling over! Well I guess he holds his head up too but ya. Not a totally eventful day but I got some cute pictures and it was a good day. Its so nice to have cool weather to put us in a good mood.

Our Life in 3 Minutes

My Husband is so wonderful. He made this video and suprised me with it just because. Of course it made me cry. It is so amazing to see our family growing and moving forward! I love you Kendall!!!

Carson making cookies

Carson needed some real Mom and Carson time so we made cookies. He really likes using the cookie cuttters to make shapes. I got out my food coloring and let him paint them it was a little easier than making frosting and it was alot of fun. Carson is a great artist! Too bad we cant hang them on the fridge; they wouldn't stay and he kinda ate them already! Carson says " mmmm cookies. I color them and I eat them so fast! I eat Mickey Mouse and Lighting Mqueen and stars and circles!"

Vote for me please!!!

Hello all!
First off I wanted to thank all who voted for the company I work for last year as part of Ranking Arizona from the Arizona Business Magazine. I'm happy to say that out of all the insurance companies in the state of Arizona we were rated 2nd overall! Thank you so much!

Well it's that time of year again and the voting for 2009 is quickly rapping up...meaning the voting ENDS next Wednesday July 29th! My boss is once again encouraging us to help our cause by giving us each cash to get 50 people to vote for our company. The stakes are higher this year since we only needed 35 last year. Some of you may know that we're expecting baby #2 in just a few weeks and every little bit helps!

So I'm asking for your help again. Like before it literally only takes about 20 seconds of your time to do by following the directions below and would really help a ton. You don't have to purchase anything from the company (although if any of you need a quote for insurance I'd be glad to help :) ). It's a great company I work for that has been around for 35 years so you can rest assured knowing your vote is going towards a worthy company. Also just like last year, only one person can vote from each computer since they track by IP addresses so make sure if someone else votes from your family they use a different computer.

**For some extra incentive, by casting your vote you'll be entered in my own personal raffle and by random I'll give out a free $20 gift card to the restaurant of your choice to one lucky of you all!**

Please send me an email after you have voted with your name and what email you typed in when voting or I will not know and your vote will not work for me!!!!!!

Thanks again for your support! (See below for directions)

Cool pics Kendall edited from our road trip

4th of July trip

This year we didn't go to Hawley Lake or to Show Low so we decided to take a road trip. See what happens when we ended up with no plans on a 3 day weekend! We left on Friday at noon and drove up to Sedona. We stopped at the UFO site that was funny.

Then we wen to Slide Rock the water was freezing but we all jumped in and went down the slides. First I went down with Carson which may not have been the best idea. He had no idea what was going on and I didn't realize how deep some of the spots were. When we got to the bottom Carson was happy he did it but he wanted his towel because he was cold. Pay no mind to the guy mooning the camera we really didn't mean to get him in the shot and I don't think he even knew hehe. I guess that's what happens if you go down too many times. Kendall went down and then I went again by myself.

Kendall jumped off a big rock I would have too if my belly wasn't so big. Me and Carson jumped in off the side. Carson didn't like the cold water but thought it was fun to watch dad and mom jump in. We walked up the way a little bit and found some cool things. This HUGE rock! This cute little house Carson really liked.

We drove up the highway and found a spot to camp between Sedona and Flagstaff. There were a ton of campers but that is to be expected on July 4Th. We cooked dinner and made s'mores then Carson conked out and me and Kendall relaxed for a bit then went to bed. On Saturday morning we made a quick breakfast and Carson played while we packed up camp.

Then we took a drive and got out to play at a few places. There was this cool cave on the side of the road it was cool but kinda hard to climb up with a pregnant belly. We got some cute pics though.

We stopped for lunch at Denny's so we could have the traditional strawberry waffles and ice cream for the 4Th. Then we decided since it was Carson's nap time we would take the leisurely 4 hour drive up to the 4 corners and Monument Valley. Carson slept about half the time and actually did really well sitting in the car we played and danced to music and had a good time.

We took some cool pics first is our family of 4 in 4 different states. Next is the baby hovering above 4 different states.

Here is Kendall flying over 4 different states, and each of us standing in 4 states at one time.

When we were done with all our cool ideas we headed to Monument Valley that was only another hour drive and we got there just in time for sun set and some amazing pictures. Because the whole drive between Flagstaff and Monument Valley is reservation there was no where to camp or even stop to sleep in the car. We could have stayed in a hotel but that would have left a 8 hour drive for the morning and there would be a lot of traffic from the holiday. So we decided to be crazy, Kendall and I switched off driving. We got home and 2 in the morning. It was a lot of fun and everything was spontaneous. We probably wont be able to do that once our next little one is here so it was a last crazy trip. Tons of fun!!!

May-June Family party

Carson was thrilled to have his own Happy Birthday! He got kind shy when everyone was singing to him so he wouldn't blow out his candle. He loved opening presents by then he knew just what to do. when he saw Lightening McQueen it was all over he was so happy and hasn't stopped playing with them since. Man he is getting so big but darn cute isn't he!

Memorial Day

We went to Roosevelt Lake and had a blast on Kirt and Sheri's boat. Kendall, Carson and I went in the tube and trailed really slow. It was cool and Carson really liked it. We ended up hitting the wake and sinking the raft it was fun tho and the water felt so good. Carson liked swimming in the lake and had fun pushing the water away and kicking his feet.
