A Special Day for Madison

On Saturday Madison was baptized. It was such a great day and Madison has been looking forward to to for such a long time. She has always wanted to be baptized and Madison was one of those children who did not want to go under the water and get her face wet, she wasn't really afraid of the water I just think that she thought that if she went under something would happen to her so over the summer she was talking about getting baptized and how she could wait and I reminded her that when she gets baptized that her whole body would have to go under water. She said to me that she knew and so in our many trips this last summer she decided that she was going to start swimming and going under the water so that she was prepared for her going under the water for her baptism. From that first time she went under the water at a pool she now loves to go under the water and she is actually getting pretty good at swimming. So anyway she was so excited for Saturday to come and to be baptized is was so great to see her do that, I am so glad that she decided to be baptized. Larry did a wonderful job. Madison actually got to be dunked twice not because her dress came up but because larry forgot a word in the baptism prayer and you know what I really didn't notice it sounded right to me. So Larry did a wonderful job being that it was his first time ever baptizing someone. When I went to go and help Madison get dressed she says to me "mom that was the greatest ever when can I do it again."

Larry did a great job on her confirmation is was such a great blessing that he gave her, he even got choked up while saying the blessing. We had alot of family there my whole family and then I am so glad that Larry's brother and sister-in law came and there children and then his sister and husband and there boys and then his mom and step-dad. I am glad that they came and saw Madison be baptized that meant alot to us and Madison.

So we had a great day and Madison and I glad that all of you get to see our pictures. There aren't alot that I put on there but I think that you get the point. I didn't want to put to many pictures up. Enjoy the pictures.

Simple Things

As Larry and I were laying in bed last night watching t.v there was this commerical that came on, it was a cleaning commercial to be exact. Anyway it was for the toilet. I clean the bathrooms every Friday(sometimes it is Saturday but I try to do it every Friday so i don't have to worry about it on Saturday), well anyway on this commercial is is for Scrubbing Bubbles and it is a toilet Gel cleaner and you stick in on the insided of your toilet and everytime you flush it cleans the toilet for you. So as I saw that commercial I got excited because I hate cleaning toilets especially with boys in the house, I said "oh wow' and Larry just laughs at me and and I ask him why he is laughing and he says that he just can't blieve that I get that excited over something like that. Well I got it today and I am going to try it and see how it does but of course what did I do before i stuck it in the toilet I cleaned the toilet. Now don't think that I stuck my hand in the toilet it has a hand wand that comes with it to stick it in there. I still washed my hands afterwards because well it is the toilet. So anyway the whole reason of this post is that it is just kind of funny that as you get older and you stay at home with your kids that how these silly simple things can just make you happy.

I'm Finally Back

Well I am finally back blogging. It has been a while and I actually had stuff to put on there last month but I just got lazy and didn't do it so now I have just put some pictures up of some the things that we have been doing or things that are exciting to me.

Well first I got this jolly jumper for Carson and I thought that he would like it because he loves to stand.Well he liked it this one time and do you think that he liked the later on that day or even the next day. NO he did not he will not go in it. So this is when he liked it and Madison wanted to get in on the picture with him and I think that it is really cute. He loves his big sister.

Second Zach had a feild trip to a Craven Farms with his preschool class and this year I got to go which nice because last year Larry and I were on a business trip and I wasn't able to go with him. So I went with him and it was such a cute farm they had some really neat things for the kids there. It was a little cold that day so Zach decided that he was going to wear his Batman hat and gloves and he is wearing his Pirates of the Caribean Coat. He is so funny.

They cookie they get when they get in the barn.

Class picture in front of the pumpkin Cinderella.

I don't why I put this picture on but there was something obviously that he didn't think was right. He is our serious one.

I finally to to carving pumpkins with the kids the Wednesday before Halloween and it was alot of fun. Zach was not into the guts in the pumpkin so guess who got to carve his pumpkin and get the guts out, that is right me, but the kids had a good time anyway. This was the end result.

This was Halloween night. It was so nice because it wasn't as cold as it has been in the past, the kids didn't even have to wear coats over there costumes. We went with our friends and neighbors across the street and we had a great time. Even though Colleen and Adam and the boys weren't here we had fun, it did feel a little strange with out them though.

No he is not a dog he is a cow. The gloves don't go with it but I wanted his had to be warm and those were the only gloves I had for him.

Oh my goodness now it is on to Madison birthday. I can't believe that Madison is 8 now. She is going to be baptized on the 29th of November and I can't believe it. The time has just flown by. She is truly growing up so fast and it makes a sad. I look back at pictures of her when she was little and I think to myself I can't believe that she was ever that little.

The darn cake was too close to the side of the box and smudged the edge. I was a littl mad.

Out for lunch with Larry's family

Now Carson, he is now officially 6months and is growing like a champ as the doctore would put it. He had his 6month dr. appointment on Wednesday and the doctor said that he was in the 95th percentile in height and the 75th in in weight. He also told me by his calculations he thinks that Carson is going to be 6foot 2. I couldn't believe it when he said that. Well I guesse I could because if anyone has seen my dad and my other sisters then that is definatley where he got it from is from my dad. I am shortest out of my sisters and my dad is 6foot. My mom is my height. So he is going to be a big boy. I think that Madison and Carson are going to tall and I think that Zach is going to be as tall as Larry. Anyway Carson is doing good he is still a bit whiney but I must be getting used it because it doesn't seem that bad. I am still looking forward thought to when he can walk and talk and things like that. If he could walk now he would just be off playing with his brother and sister be just gets so excited when they are running around and playing and you can just see it in him that he just wants to do the same things. Carson still has to be entertained all the time though which makes it a little tough to do things around the house. He isn't so bad if you just bring him into the same room so he can see what you are doing and you talk to him.

So all in all everyone is doing good and we are having a great time. I hope that everyon enjoys the pictures.
