Road Trip

The boys and I ventured up to Utah this week and we had a fabulous time! We stayed at Aunt Tiffany's in Nevada for the Conference weekend, then headed up to visit Uncle Matt and their friends Jace and Braxton. The boys had a great time playing and they even went to the pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins! We had a great visit and then came back home, stopping by Aunt Afton's on the way. Carson helped bake some Halloween cookies and then we drove the rest of the way home. It was a fun trip but the boys were sure happy to be back home in their own beds!

An answer for everything

Here are some of Carson's answers after I asked him a series of questions. He is such a goof ball, but I love him to pieces! Thanks Crystal for the great idea!

Which Twilight character are you?

Which Twilight character are you? Take the quiz and find out
then let me know your results! If you have no idea what this
is, then you need to read Twilight, by Stepheniw Meyer.
Here was my result:



You're Esme Cullen - Your maternal instinct to take care of people and be kind draw people towards you. You're compassionate and loving, yet firm when you need to be. You appreciate hard work and value the beautiful results of your dedication to any project. (Take this quiz!)

Game Highlights

Due to an unpopular music selection in the last video, I have tried again. Hopefully Sum 41 will appease the picky viewers! If not, you may thank Marc and then simply turn off your speakers! :0)

GOAL!

Carson's first soccer game was a hit (or a goal)!
He had a great time and almost scored! He has
never even seen a soccer ball until last week,
so it was pretty awesome to see him go at it
today! Great job Carson!

Birthday Week!

Good Morning, Sunshine! Grandpa & Gramdma Ellsworth took Carson to breakfast on his birthday, but we had to wake him up to get there on time!

Whose party is this? Connor thought it was his celebration too; he kept trying to open Carson's presents!

We copied Kristy and got a "jump-a-line"-type water slide so he could use it for his birthday and party. What a great investment since he has had a blast with it on multiple occasions!
