Here's some stuff we have been up to. Here's a picture of the basement when it flooded. That was so much fun to clean up. I was sore for days. We went to a birthday party at a swimming pool last weekend. The same swimming pool at my mom's apt. It was lots a fun.

We had some friends over for the 24th of July and had a barbaque and played some basketball.

Landon is such a cutie!

Our friends from Florida came so we got to do some fun things with them. The kids are ready for another pizza puzzle party.

2010-06-01T09:20:00.000-07:00

Carson plays Teeball every Tuesday and Saturday. He really likes it this time and he's getting pretty good. His last game is tonight then when he is 6 we can put him in coach pitch.

I went with Carson to Wheeler farm on a feild trip.

I went with Savanah to Liberty park and The Old Speggetti Factory on a feild trip.

2010-04-12T09:44:00.000-07:00

Carson is so funny. For a couple of days now he has been filling up bottles and puting candy in them and pretending its chlorine for his pool. He went out five times yesterday to put it in the pool. You can tell he's going to be a hard worker.

Azaria's trick!

2010-03-31T17:09:00.000-07:00

We went to st. george last weekend. It was so nice to get away. We had alot of fun. We got there friday night had dinner at Golden Coral and went to the store then off to bed which ended up being about 10:30. We had to get up at 5:30 am to get ready for the dance competition. The girls did awsome. They got 1st place on there whole team dance and 2nd and 3rd on the others. The comp. got over about 6pm. so we were able to go to dinner and play at the pool. Justin, Julie, Landon,Wanda and Blake came with us. Sunday we went to pioneer park then back home in time for Colby to go to work.He had to work at 5 pm to run shuttles way to much driving in a 24 hour period. I tried to put the video's of there dances on here but it wouldn't work the other day but I am going to try it again.

Girls first Dance Competition!

2010-03-22T13:33:00.000-07:00

Azaria and Savanah had there first competition at Salt Lake Community College last Saturday. They were there for 14 hours. We were able to leave sometimes but what have we got ourselfs into? They have five more competition. Next weekend we go to St. George this is the farthest one. They did really good we are so proud of them. They were so nervous. They have 4 dances they have to do. I will try and video tape it next week and post it. This week I put it on the tape instead of the memory card. I am still trying to figure out who they are competing against. I think they only had a couple in there division. They got second on a couple of there dances. One dance is the whole studio which they got last in. It is alot of thems first year plus they have 3 and 4 year olds for the first time. I'll let ya know how next week go's.

2010-03-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

Here's some pictures I took last week. I took Landon to Mc donalds on his birthday which was the 24th of feb. I thought this picture was cute. He did have fun he just didn't really want his picture taken at the moment. I got my hair done last sunday at wanda's. She cut off at least 10 inches. In this pictures it acually looks longer than it really is. Just look at the hair not my lovely face expression. I took about ten pic's this one was the best it's hard taking your own photo.

I was getting ready the other day. Landon was making faces at himself I thought it was so cute.

Azaria made the design on the shirts for her and gabby her best friend.

This picture was about a month ago. Carson got a bead stuck up his nose. It was a lot of fun to get out. It was the kind you melt with a iron that kids play with. Lucky we didn't have to go to the hospital. Kids?

Not a whole lot has been going on this week. Colby started therpy on his finger everything is going good he is still on light duty for the rest of this month. We had SEP con. yesterday all the kids are doing good all A's and 5's for the girl's and Carson has mostly 4's and 5's. He still need's to improve on his reading. He has done so much better since his ear surgery. Savanah is reading at a 5th grade level which is the same as Azaria. I regret alittle bit taking the girls out of the gifted class. Azaria hasn't gotten a whole lot better in her testing she is not really learning anything this year. I know now how important the gifted class is. Hopefully the schools out in herriman are better. We haven't found a house yet but plan to move in may. I guess that's it.

Azaria's birthday!

2010-03-01T10:15:00.000-08:00

Azaria had her party at jumpingjacks this year. It was alot of fun. I can't believe she's 10 already. We are so proud of the young woman she is becoming to be. Love you zari.

Ashtyn, Hailey ,Skyler's butt and Carson. What cutes!

Savanah, Azaria, Gabby,Alyson and Katey.

Carson on his dirt bike he got for christmas.He has to ride it every day. He is pretty good. I had a hard time watching him at first. I can't wait until the snow melts and we can take him to the field and see how good he does on jumps.

2010-01-15T07:44:00.000-08:00

My Dad came over for dinner with my half brother it was really nice to see them it has been about a year(too long) . Zack with the girls.

The guys pretending Justin was sitting with us. We missed you guys.
We took the kids to the movies to see where the wild things live I think that's what it is called. It was not a very good movie half of us fell asleep.

Last Week

2009-11-08T19:52:00.000-08:00

Not much went on this week. Carson has had a cough and they wouldn't let him go to school all week. He went to the doctors on tuesday for the follow up visit for his ears. His right ear drum is growing over the tube so we have to go back on the 18th to see if it corrects it's self. if it doesn't we have to get another tube put in. I will let you know what I find out. He said his cough was nothing to worry about. I just hope he doesn't cough at school tomorrow. I don't want him to miss to much days. I think it's good not to let kids go to school sick but Carson has a cough almost all winter. I don't think it contagious none of us is sick. Also I finally got brave enuff to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled out. Ok maybe not brave I couldn't stand the pain anymore. It happened on friday almost the worst day not many dentists work. We ended up going to a place at Valley Fair Mall I was even more nervous about that. It turned out allright. It only hurts when I swallow cause my tonge hit it and my jaw hurts I can barely open my mouth. It has been hard to eat I shouldn't have a problem looseing weight this week. I have to go to a specialist to get the other wisdom teeth out. I don't know when I will do that.Well see ya Have a good week everyone.

Halloween Fun!

2009-11-02T07:49:00.000-08:00

We did lots of fun things this Halloween but didn't have my camera or had it without the memory card. The kids had there parade at school on thursday and partys in there classes. I helped in Savanah's class this time. I got to be in charge of bingo. It was fun. then Friday the girls had a party at there dance then over to Lisa's for a haunted house that her apartment set up. The kids got to scared but I made Azaria go with me. It was alot of fun. then Saturday we went to the carnival at there dance place. Everyone on the team had to help. It was to try and raise money for team fee's. But we couldn't get anyone to buy tickets. they were $20 which is alittle much. We were incharge of a game. Colby took Carson around to play. At the end the girls did a performance. They did a great job. We didn't get a seat in time so we were standing in the back. Colbys parents, Brandi, Justin, Julie,and my mom came to watch. thanks you guys for coming it means alot. The kids had a blast trick or treating We went for two hours they got way to much candy. We had alot of fun this week but I am glad it's over.

2009-11-02T07:31:00.000-08:00

Here is some of are pumpkins. we did two each this year. The other picture didn't turn out.

We had our familys come over for some pizza and trick or treating.

Alex on Wizards of Waverly Place, Motocross racer, Dancer.

2009-10-17T16:12:00.000-07:00

Ok here is what we have been doing latey. I am still not very good at blogging. I messed up on the order. First Carson is doing good and can allready hear better. It is so nice! He did so good going there and waiting then when they called his name he didn't want to go back so me and the nurse had to talk to him for a few minutes then we get him back there and he doesn't want to stop coloring. One of the doctors came and helped me pull him into the operating room. Screaming! I had to hold him down while they were puting him to sleep. I felt so bad. I wanted cry but didn't want to in front of everyone. It was scary he started to breath differently I didn't know that was normal. I am so glad it is over and hopefully never have to do that again.
Kids go back to school on Monday Yay!

2009-10-17T16:03:00.000-07:00

After the Scarecrow Festival we went to Colbys football game. They won 26 to 7. Go United! The girls wanted me to take a picture of them.

This is Brinlie Britnies baby. They went with us to the Festival and to the game along with Blake and Wanda.

Dance Performance

2009-10-17T15:46:00.000-07:00

The girls had a dance performance today. This video is not the best but hopefully you can see them ok. Savanah is on the left getting blocked from the lady in the dark brown hair. Azaria is straight in the middle. They did such a great job. It was at the Scarecrow Festival so after they got to play on bouncy slides and they had a kids haunted house.

Azaria and Savanah

2009-10-17T15:38:00.000-07:00

Wow! Looks Like Fun Huh?

2009-10-17T15:30:00.000-07:00

Carson made Colby put this marbel mania together for the second time. Azaria got it for christmas last year. It took three hours the first time and about two the second. Carson got to play with it for one day before him and his friend Gaven were trying to put it up and droped it. Kids what do you do? I think it is going back in the box for awhile.

Fun at the park.

2009-10-17T15:23:00.000-07:00

We went to the park the other day. Landon loved this huge slide. I can't believe how brave he is. He needed no help at all. I took there friend Gabby and Alyson and Bryson but the couple of pic's I got before my camera died are not so good.

2009-10-13T20:09:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everyone know. We found out why Carson seems like he can't hear very well. He talks loud and says huh? alot. He had a couple of hearing tests at school and they said he didn't pass and needs to see a specialist. so we went last thursday and found out he has fluid behind his ear drum (harder to see) so he needs tubes again and his adenoids taken out. He should out grow this problem. He go's in this friday. I am alittle nevous even though he has been put to sleep twice now.His heart thing still scares me we have to give him antibiotics the night before and some in his IV to pertect it. Colby has to work so Wanda and Blake and my mom and the girls are going. I will let you know how it go's.

2009-10-10T12:27:00.000-07:00

Sorry pictures are alittle grose. Savanah went to the dentist on monday. she had an infected tooth so they pulled it out and another little tooth in the front that was loose. She did so good after I bribed her of couse she chose to go to the dollar movie to see Coriline which wasn't playing there any more so we had a movie night at home and rented it and got popcorn and candy. It's a weird movie and a little scary for kids. She go's again to the dentist next week.

2009-10-10T12:17:00.000-07:00

Savanah wanted to show everyone her littlest petshop collection. She got 11 new pets for her birthday and now has 54 pets. I can't believe how many of those they make. There still alot to get and not one of hers is the same.

Savanah

2009-10-05T18:20:00.000-07:00

Our little girl is growing up. this is as far back as I had on a cd. this was christmas 2005 so she just turned 4 yrs. old. I love these pictures. She is such a cute girl. I miss those days. They definitely grow up way to fast. We love you Savanah and are so proud of you.

Savanah's 8th Birthday!

2009-10-05T17:21:00.000-07:00

Savanah had her birthday party on Saturday. Savanah hitting the pinata.

Some of the kids eating pizza. There was 17 kids. It was a little crowded.

Update

2009-10-02T08:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry everyone it has been hard lately to get a chance to post. Landon crys everytime I get on well almost he was thinking about it today he started watching tv. and my kids start fighting. Well just to catch you up. The kids went back to school for three weeks and there off track again. The school had to get rid of a teacher because not enuff kids enrolled and Carson's was picked so I decided to change all the kids on the same track. What else..... Me and the kids went for a walk the other day to what I thought at the time was the closest park. It took 45 mins. to get there and alittle over an hour to get home. Why? you might be thinking I had this bright idea to take the canal road back which was a even longer way home. It wouldn't of been that bad if it wasn't 90 degrees and past lunch time and pushing a stroller. Let's just say we will never do that again. we decided to trade in the truck. It started leeking tran. fluid again and doesn't start very good when it is cold. So now we have a car. I haven't got a picture of it yet. so when Colby gets home I will post one. I think it's pretty nice. not something we have ever thought of getting but we shouldn't have any problems with it. it's a 2009. standard. for once. Will miss the truck but we have to do whats best financialy. The payments, insurance and the gas cost less. and it doesn't need fixed and licensed and new tires. we can get a better truck later. well I think that's all.

2009-10-02T07:41:00.000-07:00

We had game night the other night. Azaria picked Risk. It took 3 hrs. I was out first I was yellow you could probaby tell why. then Azaria them Savanah Colby and Carson won. It was fun. Last night we went to the corn maze. It was alot of fun. Carson kept hiding from Colby and trying to scare him. We almost lost the girls because we had to stop and let Carson go pee. Colby's idea. It is so much eazier to go places now that there older.

Here's what it is shaped like this year.

2009-08-26T12:14:00.000-07:00

This picture is from today they would take turns pushing each other. They are so funny!

Silly Landon!

2009-08-26T12:01:00.000-07:00

I tried feeding Landon chicken nuggets the other day( which he normally will eat)I got him down and took his plate to the sink and came back to eat my lunch. Landon climbed in my chair and helped himself to my chips and bean dip. I should of known that he would like it he is Justin's kid. I thought it was funny.

Carson and Landon coloring. Landon wears this hat all the time now. I think it's cute!

I walked upstairs for a minute and found Landon laying like this. I thought it was so funny I had to take a picture before I moved him.

My Birthday

2009-08-24T15:19:00.000-07:00

Thrusday on my birthday we went to dinner with my mom and Gary at Elrancho Grande one of my favorite restraunts.I have been going there on my birthday since I was little. I haven't been with my mom and Gary since me and colby got married I think. I got fried ice cream and the kids ate it so fast I only got 3 bites. I thought they had it before but none of them remembered. Colby took me to aeropastle to get some pants which I needed badly.I had a good birthday thanks everyone.
On friday we took Colbys mom to Leatherbees for some ice cream for her birthday which was the 16th. We were alittle late. I wish I would of had my camera if was kinda funny watching Wanda eat her ice cream sleeping. I just hope she remembers we went. It was fun.

Brewvie Night

2009-08-24T10:22:00.000-07:00

On friday night we went to the movies with Brandon and Lindsey we decided to check out Brewvies I thought the food was good and anywhere you can have pitchers of beer and watch movies gets my vote. We watched The Hangover this show is hilarious it was hard to eat while watching this to much laughing. After the movie we went to Brandons and played battle of the sexes and of course Brandon and I won were very intouch with our feminine sides. It was alot of fun and I think anybody who hasn't saw The Hangover should go see it.

Lagoon Day

2009-08-24T09:59:00.000-07:00

Last monday we went to lagoon for Amandas work lagoon day.We had alot of fun Carson loves the bumper cars and tidal wave. Savanah went on the collasus for the first time she loved it. Azaria goes on all the rides know the rocket probably scared her the most. Cheyenne went with us since he came to town for a few days for my birthday. We played a few games with Amandas work one of them was bingo Amanda got bingo twice she got two envelopes with cash in them she was the only person to win twice but both envelopes only had one dollar bills in them theyre was a couple of twenty dollar envelopes and one fifty. I guess Amandas just lucky.

30 Already

2009-08-19T12:56:00.000-07:00

Saturday night we celebrated my 30th birthday. We all had a great time started off with a barbeque played some volleyball in the dark then went in for some rockband.

The girls had a fundraiser car wash for there dance team on saturday so when I got off work I went and had them wash my truck all the girls thought it was cool to wash that big of a truck I told them I didn't care how clean it got just as long as nobody falls off. They also did a big yard sale on the grass theyre so Amanda and the kids were there all day.My mom and dad came down to get theyre car washed of course it broke down while the girls were washing it we had to push it out of the way. After about an hour it started and they left they got halfway home and it died again so I went and pulled them home. They're is always some added adventures in the life of the Orgills. Thanks to everyone who donated.

Back To School!

2009-07-29T13:44:00.000-07:00

The girls started school on monday. Carson starts next monday. They seem to like it other than the 15-20 min. walk home in 100 degrees.Who would like that Honestly? It's good exersize though I get an hour walk in each day. Azaria has a guy teacher. It makes me alittle nevous but she seems to like him I haven't met him yet. Savanah's teacher is an older lady. We missed back to school night because we didn't know about it. I asked the girls friends and I guess they never go and didn't know about it either.There is a SEP coming up soon so thats good. I can't believe how fast time flies. Azaria's in 4th, Savanah's in 2nd and Carson kindergarden. They are doing so good in school I am so proud of them. They go off track in three weeks for three weeks so they will have alittle bit more summer left. I got them registered late so thats what track they had left. I guess thats the gifted and talented track so I would of picked it anyways. Azaria wasn't happy at first because she wanted to be with her friends. I had to remind her that's not what we go to school for. Well I hope everyone is having a good week I will write again soon.

Boating trip #3

2009-07-29T13:27:00.000-07:00

We went out again on Justin's boat on sunday. My mom and my aunt Caroline and aunt Denise and Gary came. I am glad my mom felt good enuff to go. I haven't been able to spend very much time with her lately because the kids don't like to go over to Denise's house and there's to much stuff all over for Landon to get into. I thought this picture was cute. Justin went alittle faster this time Carson got a little scared but loved it. Colby and Savanah went and got fliped off. I was worried Savanah would get to scared and never go again but she said it was the funniest time she has ever had on it but she wants to go alittle slower next time.

Carson's first time in the lake without Colby holding him. He is finally starting to like water.ya!

Denise,mom,and Caroline they all said they had a blast.

I took this picture of Landon today and thought it was cute. He has to feed himself now. For about a month he would only eat one bit of his yogurt. He wanted me to give it to him but thinking about the mess he would make I would hand him the spoon only. He still wouldn't eat much then one day I gave him the cup from the start and now he eats half or more every time. He wouldn't cry or anything so I just thought he wasn't hungry. It's a mess but at least he's eating. He has that I am not giving up attitude and I can do anything which is good. He loves to try and keep up with the other kids. Colby put the basketball hoop by the pool now so the kids like to jump off the ladder and hang on the hoop. I couldn't believe Carson could do it. He has been such a chicken when it comes to water but now he loves it. He had his kindergarten check up yesterday. He weighs 42 lbs.(50%) and 41.2 inches (25%) He is so skinny but the doctor told me since his weigh is more that his height he might be over weight when he gets older from what the charts say but he and I doubt that will happen for a very long time. I am just glad he has grown so much when he was three (some how I missed his four year check up) he wasn't on the chart for his weight and 25% for height. He has been sick lately ( a month I think two different sicknesses not bad enough to take him in) I hoped he would of been better before we went to the doctors but not yet he has an ear infection again. He didn't say any thing about his ears. I am glad they don't bother him because he gets them allot. I should of guessed every time he is stuffed up he has one. Some how Landon hasn't caught anything. Colby has been really sick this week. We might have to take him to the doctors if I can get him to go. I guess Dalton(guy at Sysco) has pneumonia so maybe he will go see a doctor. Well hope all is well with everyone.

Sysco Super Fun Day Extravabaganza

2009-07-19T09:15:00.000-07:00

Sysco had a BBQ this year instead of going to Raging Waters. They had a dunk booth up Azaria had to go on it Savanah didn't want to mess up her face painting. Colby played in the softball tournament which was two games his team won so they got trophys and a $25 Sports Authority gift card.So just me and the kids hung out. Wanda and Blake came for alittle bit but I didn't see them much. Reed and Lisa and Brandon and Lindsey had other things to do. other then the heat I think the kids had alot of fun. They also did a drawing and Colby won a $50 best buy gift card. We were hoping for the barbaque or the tv at least we got something though.

2009-07-19T08:44:00.000-07:00

More pictures of the sysco bbq.They had a thirty feet rock wall. Carson was alittle scared to go any higher but I was very proud of him for trying. Savanah tried once I was waiting to take a picture until she got her highest but she fell and didn't want to try again. Azaria couldn't do it enough.I think she did it 7 times her hand started getting sore. I really liked the face painting she did a good job. They had this basketball game and when you made a basket you got a $10 target card. The adults had to make 2 shots one was pretty far I couldn't make it but colby did.The kids had to only make one shot. only Azaria out of the kids made it. They also had a football game that had three different size rings that you throw the football through the kids had to just touch them. They all won that one. Colby had to hit the middle and made it the first time. Me and the kids played alittle bit of bingo but didn't win any thing. They had bounce houses up but it was 100 degrees out side and they were to hot. They had a fire truck spray water but we missed it. It was pretty fun.

4th Of July!

2009-07-08T14:51:00.000-07:00

Saturday July 4th I talked Colby into going to the Magna Parade. It was the first one the kids have been to. The kids had alot of fun I think Carson liked it the most Savanah wasn't feeling good or I think she would of enjoyed it more. It rained on us and the floats kinda sucked but they threw lots of candy., We went with Lisa and her family except Reed he thought he was to good. Ha Ha. Later we had a barbaque at our house and Carson begged us to put the water slide up again he rides the tube down it now crazy kid. My mom and some of my family came to watch fireworks with us which was good. I didn't get very good pictures but it was fun. Thanks to everyone who came.

Redwood Drive Inn

2009-07-08T14:43:00.000-07:00

Sunday we went to the Drive Inn to see UP and Proposal. They were pretty good. Carson fell asleep during the first one of course. Which was good. Wanda and Blake went with us. Wanda actually stayed up the whole time. It was fun but I am getting to old to stay up till 2am and get up early.

Hollywood Connections

2009-07-08T14:30:00.000-07:00

On Monday we went to Hollywood connections. We only have three more weeks until the kids start school so we have to try and do a few fun things when we can. Landon was pretty good until we went golfing. He wanted to play with the balls. We all had a good time.

Boating Fun

2009-07-02T20:36:00.000-07:00

We went out on the lake with Justin and Julie again on Sunday.This time we took the wakeboards and the kite tube. It was alot of fun Justin said he was going 50 miles an hour when I was on the kite tube but I must be to fat It still wouldnt fly. It was a great time but we ran out of beer way to quick I think Julie drank them all. Sarah and Jason and theyre kids came with us Talea is crazy for almost 6 years old. Justin was able to take Azaria on the wakeboard with him I still cant wakeboard myself so Justin has skills.

Carson's Party!

2009-07-02T20:26:00.000-07:00

Here's some pictures of Carson's birthday party. My mom got a free ride across the yard. The kids having fun in the pool.Carson only has got in the pool once and got alittle scared and cold until the day after his party now we can't get him out. Brandi's new tiny baby now weighing 6lbs. What a cutey! Basketball in bare feet not a good idea.

Flag Football Champions?

2009-07-02T20:18:00.000-07:00

Nope not this year. Played the best game of the year but lost in four overtimes. Good game you guys better luck next season.

Happy 5th Birthday Carson!

2009-07-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

I'm alittle late but here's a video of everyone singing happy birthday to Carson. The candals where alittle scary but it was funny. We had a barbaque and had the water slide up and the pool. We got him a basketball hoop but all the guys took it over.

Jumping Jacks

2009-06-18T13:41:00.000-07:00

Colby had a day off and it was raining all day so we decided to take the kids to play at jumping jacks. We all had fun even Landon. Carson got his back burnt from the slide but he's ok.

2009-06-18T13:13:00.000-07:00

The girls had a dance recital on saturday. They did such a good job. I need a couple of cameras so I can take more pictures and video tape it on a tape and a memory card so I can put it on here. This time I sat by myself and had a good seat close and in the middle and I still didn't video tape one of the dances ( they had two). I thought I was but then at the end realized I hit the wrong button. I am such an air head. I was so mad. Colby didn't get off work in time if your wondering were he was.Yesterday was dance team tryouts I decided to let the girls go. THEY MADE THE TEAM! We are so proud of them. They are so excited. I know it's a big expense and there go's some of are savings but to me it's worth it. It makes a big difference on how much they will learn they will so 6 hours instead of 1 1/2. They will also do lots of other things. Saturday we had people over to play cards. We played 3 games Colby couldn't get enuff. It was a little squishy because the kitchen is alittle smaller but it was fun.

Fun Day At The Park.

2009-06-18T13:07:00.000-07:00

They rain stoped finally for a few hours so we went to the park with Sarah,Jason,Callie,Latesia,and Talea. This is the first time I have ever been to this park It was way cool. It's the west jordan memorial park on 7800s. just before redwood. Thers a few parks there. The kids favorite part was the tire swing.

New House

2009-06-18T12:33:00.000-07:00

Heres some pictures of the house we moved to and some of Carson being silly. The girls so far this summer spend most of there time in the pool. Colby had to get them one. The weather hasn't been very good but they still get in. They meet two girls so far and play with them every day. They will be going to a year around school this year so there summer is cut short. They start on july 27th. Carson pretending his truck is a trailer.

YAY AZARIA!

2009-05-29T22:14:00.000-07:00

Azaria got this award today.I don't know if you can read it but it says she scored in the top ten in the nation on a test she took. We are so proud of her.

Kids Swimming

2009-05-29T21:39:00.000-07:00

Nick and April came out for a week before they move to Tennessee. We went to the aquarium it was ok the kids had fun. We really didn't get a chance to do much Kayleen was sick. We had a barbaque at our house, had the slide up and played cards. We had a party for kayleen at Wandas since she wont be here for her birthday which is in july she will be 2. We also went to the movie's and coldstone just me and Colby, Nick and April. The guys had a bowling night the first night. The last day we had to go to Hotdog on a stick April loves there cheese stick who doesn't? We got her hooked on them last time she came out. I think thats it. I wasn't able to get much packing done but it was fun and I'm glad we got to spent so much time with them.

Carson

2009-05-29T21:28:00.000-07:00

I went with Carson to his school last wednesday to celabrate his birthday. We had a teddy bear picnic and we brought cupcakes and icecream to share. It was fun. thursday he had a little concert for his last day.He was so cute and sang every song. I am sad that he is growing up but I am so proud of him. he has came along way.

Landon and Carson

2009-05-29T21:06:00.000-07:00

I thought these pic's where cute thought I would share.

2009-05-19T08:44:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Here's what's been going on lately. Starting from most resent we went on Justin and Julie's boat on sunday. It was alot of fun. The girls loved going on the tube. Savanah never wanted to get off. Carson went on the tube for his first time I couldn't believe it. The weather was great and the water was pretty warm we thought it was going to be to cold to get in so Justin didn't bring his boards. I forgot to get a picture of the outside of the boat so I will have to another time or you can probably see it on Julies blog.It's a very nice boat and rides very smooth. We found a house about five minutes away from this house. we will be moving on friday the 29th and saturday. I have been busy with school things and packing. we went to watch Savanah sing on thursday I tried taking pictures but they didn't turn out. I video taped it. She did a really good job and was so cute. Other than the other pictures I posted I think that's all.

Savanah's Field Trip

2009-05-19T08:26:00.000-07:00

I went with Savanah on a field trip to The Red Butte Gardens. We started with a picnic at Liberty Park then to the garden where we walked around with a tour guide that taught us alot about plants. It was every pretty there. Savanah loved it and want's to go back. We only got to see some of it they take different grades to different areas. I went with Carson the day before to jumping jacks with his class for a field trip. I took Landon and Alyson and Bryson. I forgot my camera of course.

Mother's Day!

2009-05-19T07:52:00.000-07:00

On mothers day we went to Colby's moms house for a barbaque.It was barely 70 but the kids still wanted to play on the slip n slide. Carson went a couple of times when I didn't have my camera he still doesn't like cold water.

2009-05-19T07:04:00.000-07:00

Here's everything I got for mothers day. Aren't they cute?

2009-05-01T10:42:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Not much has been going on lately except house hunting which has not been fun. Colby started his flag football leage again. They played 2 games last saturday in the pouring rain and lost both. This in the muddiest he has ever has gotten. The last picture is Landon doing one of his favorite things playing in the dishwasher. I try to keep him away but so far it's not working.

Happy Easter!

2009-04-13T13:35:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter! Azaria woke us up at 6:30 a little to early for me but I am glad she was excited. Savanah started having an ear ache in the middle of the night so she didn't sleep very well and it was bothering her for a few hours.So thats why she is not very happy in the first picture the other picture is her with how many eggs she found(later at Colbys grandma Holts house) she found 70 eggs which is more than everyone else she was very proud of herself. I was very glad she felt good enuff to go out and look. They all got big chocolate bunnys that's what Carson is eating. I hope everyone had a good easter.

2009-04-13T13:00:00.000-07:00

more photos of Easter Colby and Azaria played basketball for awhile. Azaria is pretty good we might be putting her in basketball soon. She has been wanting to for about a year now but haven't got around to it. Carson loves tractors he was wanting to really drive it. Then the kids looking for eggs, there was over 200 they never found them all. They love having an easter egg hunt there it's sad to think this might be the last one. The next picture is Brinlie Britnie's baby now about two months old what a cutey huh? Then the last is Brandi,Mike and Micheal which is about 14 months old.

Coloring Eggs

2009-04-13T12:42:00.000-07:00

We colored eggs on saturday. Savanah and Carson spent most of the day throwing up and sleeping. They felt good enuff to color eggs that night. They all had a fun time. Colbys new favorite Quarter back.

Kids Having Fun!

2009-04-13T12:26:00.000-07:00

We made it to the park well actually the school on friday it was a little windy but pretty warm. The kids kept taking turns going down the slide and squishing each other. Colby, Azaria,Carson and Bryson flew a kite. I can't get a picture of Carson just smiling. I can't wait tell summer there is so much more to do.

Where's Carson?

2009-04-09T08:55:00.000-07:00

I have been alittle busy working and lost carson have you seen him?

2009-04-09T08:17:00.000-07:00

I thought these pictures were cute. Carson loves to feed Landon. The top picture is Carson and Bryson painting rocks. We haven't been doing much latey. The plan today was to have a picnic at a park but it's raining so maybe tomorrow.

Carson's Field Trip

2009-04-04T11:25:00.000-07:00

Carson and I went on a feild trip with his preschool on Tuesday. We went to The Utah Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah. They had live frogs, live bugs, dinosaur stuff and some stuffed wildlife. Carsons favorite part he said was the frogs(I think it was the bus ride).He keep asking where the bus was and wanted to get back on it. It is kind of a small place but I am glad I was able to go it was fun. I like the dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point and the one in ogden better. Carson kept making funny faces for the pictures as you can see.

Carson and Landon

2009-03-26T18:30:00.000-07:00

Here's just some cute pictures of the day. Landon kept crawling to me so it was hard to get a good picture. I liked this one but it is not very clear he got alittle to close.

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

2009-03-17T10:10:00.000-07:00

Hooray! Carson Is Almost Better.

2009-03-13T21:13:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everyone know Carson is doing so much better. He finally started eating last night and his eyes look like there all better. We still have to put the drops in for three more days but he is getting alot better at letting us put them in.

Update On Carson

2009-03-11T20:25:00.000-07:00

We took him to the doctors again a different one. One where he usually go's. His ear started draining more it started on monday but the doctor didn't say anything about it just that his ears looked alittle swollen and to watch for if he complains if they hurt. His ear drum rupshured thats why it is draining so much. It will heal he said I need to go back in a month and have it checked again. I knew he hasn't been hearing that well lately but when I call and they say wait another day and see if he starts getting better I feel I guess I should wait. Also the eye drops I have been giving him were not good for kids they have steriods in them which is bad for his eye's and they won't help him fight off the viris they weaken his immune system. Advice never take your kids to family med.Well now we have the right eye drops and some antibiotics hopefully they work this is so frustrating I will keep you all posted. thanks for your concern.

Poor Carson!

2009-03-10T19:54:00.000-07:00

Carson started getting an eye infection which is contagious sorry everyone. On Saturday and spent Sunday throwing up and sleeping all day poor thing.Monday he stopped throwing up but his eye's still looked pretty bad so I called his doctor which was to busy so I took him to an insta care place she prescribed eye drops(try giving a four year old eye drops. It's terrible!) This picture was taken today it makes him look better than he does.He will hardly eat, his nose is stuffy, he says his throat hurts and his eye's are still goopy and red so I talked to a nurse she said to wait tell tomorrow to see if he gets better so I guess we'll wait. The good news is it wasn't something at Brandon and Lindsey's house most likely. Sorry guys no excuses on inviting us over.I will keep you up dated.

2009-03-08T13:26:00.000-07:00

I finally got my computer to work. Here's some pictures of what we have been doing lately.

We got a picture with the coke bear and of course I didn't have my camera but luckily Lindsey did check her blog for picture. That bear was so cute a definite must see also the water shows. We didn't do any gambling luckily our friends didn't want to. I would rather not donate to any casinos. We will have to plan another trip some where next year.

On Sunday we went and got a real tree we got it put up and all decorated right after Amanda took this picture we had another Griswold moment the tree fell over ontop of some presents got water all over them had to unwrap them then wrap them again. Amanda said we should've got a picture of the tree when it tipped over but everyone just kind of scattered I think that they were protecting there ears from all the fun holiday words coming from my mouth. We'll try to get a picture of the lights on the house to put on here.
