Merry Christmas!

Well we had a fun and crazy Christmas day. Matt was so excited that he woke up around 6:30am and I finally got out of bed around 7:30am. When i came down stairs I told him that we had to wait for one more family member to wake up before we could open our presents. Ya that did not last. Matt and I opened our presents to each other and then went a got Carson because he was awake. We feed him his breakfast first and then attempted to open presents with him. Matt and I finished opening our present with our main present being the Wii. Then we helped Carson open his presents. Of course being almost one he did not care about what was happening. We then ate breakfast of caramel rolls and omelets. I made breakfast while Matt was putting the Wii together. We played for a bite and then I was ready for a nap. When I woke up Matt's mom had shown up and about an hour later his dad and siblings should up (Matt's parents are divorced). Matt has a brother on a mission so we had dinner at our place while we waited for the phone call. While we were waiting for the phone call everyone played the Wii while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner. I really did not mind. It was nice to talk to Matt's brother and hear about the things he is doing. After we were done talking everyone left except Matt's mom. When they left to go home is when the big storm finally hit. I had never seen lightening while it snowed. Crazy.

I went to bed at my normal time because I had to go to work the following morning unplanned. Matt got up with me to dig out my car from the snow. The roads were really bad because they had not been plowed. Even the freeway was bad. You could not see the lines and everyone was driving 30 mph. I even saw some one spin and do a 360. It was pretty scary. Luckily I made it to work and back without any accidents. I did not go out until that night when Matt, Me, and his dad and siblings all went to the Jazz game. We had a good time and even to free Jazz blankets. The Jazz did win their game against the Dallas Mavericks. We then preceded to drive very late a night to Ogden canyon where Matt's dad had rented a condo for the week. So we spent last night there. The drive was very scary because the roads were covered in ice. The drive home today was much better.

Overall we had a fun Christmas that lasted a couple of days and it is now nice to just sit and relax. A saying that I would like to end with to help up remember what Christmas is all about is "Will you be part of the INN crowed or the STABLE few?"

New Homeowners

So Matt and I just bought our townhouse in June. We are still used to the apartment living where if you have a problem you just call the maintenance people and they will come and fix whatever for you. Well we cannot do that any more and have to take care of it ourselves. We also have to shovel our own snow and so forth. Well the snow fell this weekend with the hose, inflatable pool, grill, and a bucket still outside. They are now covered in snow. We also have been having problems with our furnace and don't know what to do. This are all things we did not think about when we wanted to buy a place. I guess it is a learning process that we have to go through. Hopefully next winter when that first storm comes we will be better prepared.

EXCITING NEWS!!

Well the time has come to offically announce that we are having another baby. I am about 4 months along. This baby was a suprise and has taken me awhile to get used to the idea of having another one. I am excited now and look forward to having another small one. Carson loves other children so I don't think we will have too many problems with him (I hope). He will be a great big brother. I will keep you all posted with updates on how things are going.

Funny Carson Moment

I needed to take an item upstairs so I checked on Carson to see what he was doing and to make sure that he could not get into too much trouble while I was out of the room. So I go upstairs and was gone for just a few minutes, I came back downstairs to find Carson covered in formula. He had gotten into the diaper bag, pulled out his can of formula, took the lid off and was playing with the formula. He was taking handfuls of it out and dumping it on the floor. He also tried to eat it so he had formula powder all over his mouth and clothes. It was so funny I could not help but laugh. He had that look on his face of, "look mom what I did all by myself. Do you want to play". He had a big smile on his face. Of course I did not think of taking any pictures until the mess was all cleaned up. I was more concerned about the formula and not having it dumped all over the place because it is not cheap. And has fate would have it, Matt called in the middle of cleaning it up so I had to put him on hold until the job was done. Matt just laughed when I told him. It was pretty funny!
