A few weeks before we left we decided we were crazy to drive and bought plane tickets. Here's Carson relaxing on some of the seats. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We spent a couple of days at the beach. Carson was super excited for the beach. We left our house around 6 a.m. to catch our flight and Carson was asking before we got to the airport if we were at the beach yet. Umm. . . no! We knew we had to get to the beach as soon as possible. Luckily we have some friends that live at the Marine base near Oceanside who took us to the beach there. We also went later in the week to a beach in La Jolla. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a5pk2c1IM3s/TebRt5WYYDI/AAAAAAAACuA/JCfH5BpOl1s/s1600/DSCN0504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a5pk2c1IM3s/TebRt5WYYDI/AAAAAAAACuA/JCfH5BpOl1s/s320/DSCN0504.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

From the report I got--Carson loved every minute of it. He got to turn the tractor around at the end of the rows and talk on the two-way radios as much as he wanted. He rode with my dad and so I didn't get any pictures of him. Blake and I rode with my brother Derek and so I was able to snap a few shots of the two of them. <br />

He started dressing himself a few months ago. Here's one of his initial attempts:<br />

He has done pretty well with staying on his bed unless he wakes up in the middle of the night, then he usually makes his way into our bed.</div>Mike and Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11437074428231472927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220961111331793905.post-19228172190694625682011-06-01T17:19:00.000-06:002011-06-01T17:19:09.888-06:00Day at DiscoveryIn March we headed to Salt Lake because the Discovery Children's Museum was having a free day. We rode the train from Ogden and spent a couple hours there. It was a lot of fun, but of course it was also incredibly busy. It was also St. Patrick's Day and this added to some of the confusion because everybody seemed to be dressed in green.<br />

<br />
<strong>Mike and Shara</strong><br />
Mike got an opportunity to find a new job last October. This is a nice way of saying he got laid off. We found lots of nice ways to say it (and a few not so nice ones too!). He did lots of job searching and landed a new job in Logan in November. We were really excited that he found one so quick. He really likes it. It is with a smaller company and so that has been a good change. The one thing we don't like is that his schedule is different than we are used to. He used to work from 6:30 a.m. 'til 4:00 p.m. and have every other Friday off. Now he works from 8 am 'til 5 pm every weekday. It's definitely an adjustment, but we're getting used to it. <br />
I (Shara) have been keeping busy with the kids. We've had a very flexible schedule since none of the kids are in school. That will change this fall when Carson starts Kindergarten. I also work a little from home by writing content for websites. It earns us a little extra money that we save for our fun trip fund and lets me use my brain a little bit. Speaking of fun trips, we're planning a trip to San Diego in May!<br />
<br />
<strong>Carson and Blake</strong><br />
Carson is a great kid. He is getting ready to do Kindergarten testing and he's very excited to get to go to school. We'll see if the excitement lasts! He and Blake love to play together and they usually get along great. This helps me out a lot because I don't have to follow them around or come up with things for them to do all the time. Carson is always giving me hugs and saying that he loves me. He loves to hang out with his dad and help him fix things. He has loved the winter weather and going outside to play in the snow. There are probably a lot more things I could say about him--we're so glad he's in our family!<br />
Blake is so funny. He is talking quite a bit and he has the cutest personality. He is definitely in the independent "I'm 2 years old" stage. He often likes to do things by himself like put salt and pepper on his own food and pour his own milk on his cereal. He loves kids that are smaller than he is. The nursery leaders say he will help the younger kids if they drop a toy or need help with something. He will always point out the babies that he sees at restaurants or at church. If he is close enough he sometimes takes their hands and tries to walk them somewhere. It's pretty cute. He is really going to miss his buddy Carson when Carson goes to Kindergarten.Mike and Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11437074428231472927noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220961111331793905.post-70308938897360735312011-01-28T11:09:00.000-07:002011-01-28T11:09:31.962-07:00Playing at the PeakWe have a gymnastics place in town that opens up for a few hours a week for kids to come and play on the equipment. My boys love it and so do I. It gets us out of the house and lets them run around as much as they want. So much fun. We went this week and I finally remembered my camera to take some pictures.<br />

It was tons of fun and there was a lot of snow to play in. The cabin has a new addition which made for fun game nights and more room for watching movies. One day we took the kids to Big Springs on snowmobiles.<br />

In theory it sounded like lots of fun, but when we got there we realized it was also a lot of work to get two kids stable on skates. We ended up getting these ice skating walkers to help us out. Carson loved ice skating and often asks when we are going back. Blake lasted about an hour and then we took his skates off and let him walk around in his shoes. It was a fun adventure, and hopefully we'll do it again!<br />

Our town does a Christmas movie (free movie at the local theater) and we went to that and then we rode FrontRunner to Salt Lake City and saw the lights on Temple Square. Then we ate at the Lion House Pantry. It was a fun day and the weather was great for walking around.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiL4a9h7ji5AXQ8YZ2tLlJW27vNHdupsO3c5bxMpUP5r4_WaLsehZxXFg8b90zwYbyqvZaN7RSDWjPkKEJCXBo7tQGA07xFGljkTk3b_rUGCYs7z0700dorclsaUVGEzz0a_nsXRyMmuOi/s1600/HPIM3360.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiL4a9h7ji5AXQ8YZ2tLlJW27vNHdupsO3c5bxMpUP5r4_WaLsehZxXFg8b90zwYbyqvZaN7RSDWjPkKEJCXBo7tQGA07xFGljkTk3b_rUGCYs7z0700dorclsaUVGEzz0a_nsXRyMmuOi/s320/HPIM3360.JPG" /></a></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhIxGKkqwy9vN4GCEDk_y-NN5IddPvGajKF_NFk3O9ARqjm6OSfCr8sQ_NOBqy2w-7bGHvOJgPMEIk-0alTs53UDSrs_oRI0FpcbFPHBaKLlQ9495qnuPYCK3iTF-X1Zg7yUdzDdz5vcTL/s1600/HPIM3362.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhIxGKkqwy9vN4GCEDk_y-NN5IddPvGajKF_NFk3O9ARqjm6OSfCr8sQ_NOBqy2w-7bGHvOJgPMEIk-0alTs53UDSrs_oRI0FpcbFPHBaKLlQ9495qnuPYCK3iTF-X1Zg7yUdzDdz5vcTL/s320/HPIM3362.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbtinjrF-RWyTojing4mskD6wMZcDPV-d4zSmLyJy7C9wQ8f9xbBIh2yeKI8u8LXcm0EO__c9PdukQI3zWG9BuuoLEI7pPnzU1lGXMOtm1WL8w7AJrXvsgy7f4dHbxA9MIuX6sdDIoNJ0/s1600/HPIM3363.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbtinjrF-RWyTojing4mskD6wMZcDPV-d4zSmLyJy7C9wQ8f9xbBIh2yeKI8u8LXcm0EO__c9PdukQI3zWG9BuuoLEI7pPnzU1lGXMOtm1WL8w7AJrXvsgy7f4dHbxA9MIuX6sdDIoNJ0/s320/HPIM3363.JPG" /></a><br />Here's my brother Conner.

It seems like I never have my camera with me or just forget to take pictures. So, we went the first part of November with the kids. The kids lost interest after a while (that's pretty typical--they really want to go and then they end up throwing rocks or playing with the fish we catch instead of actually fishing). Mike and I kept going and I was ready to go home when Mike pulled in the biggest trout that we've seen caught from the reservoir we were at. We were really excited about it. We decided to fish some more and I was about ready to be done when I felt something on my line. It ended up being a huge fish (for us!) and dwarfed Mike's big fish. I definitely took some pictures when we got home to document this trip.<br />

He was really excited to be five, but on his birthday he commented that he really didn't feel any different being five instead of four. We have a tradition that you get to blow out the candles a lot on your birthday and we put candles in every meal. Above is a picture of Carson's breakfast. Below is a picture of one of his presents. He kept asking for a "bone and arrow" set. He was really excited to get it along with lots of other great presents.<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGey0iw2ym89IsoS2Ucm7fF7p1ydS1josYXGSrwsIFGqiYfcV2r8eT90mpaD6bZCpZbRHbhRElsSTwwuNJ5b14FNgUCM1apBQnFuoNfRxkI0cbS8vbnqBC_pHo3d05-Hu4iNCO5VZmeVIu/s1600/HPIM3309.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGey0iw2ym89IsoS2Ucm7fF7p1ydS1josYXGSrwsIFGqiYfcV2r8eT90mpaD6bZCpZbRHbhRElsSTwwuNJ5b14FNgUCM1apBQnFuoNfRxkI0cbS8vbnqBC_pHo3d05-Hu4iNCO5VZmeVIu/s320/HPIM3309.JPG" /></a> </div>Here is his cupcake bulls-eye cake with one of his arrows sticking out of it. <br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW24-SaxIUCUghyqGEq4sO7dUFTgMbmVQNZbKNz126fbMmTAMVhF4eTLOAyWWtE_Hcj76vZV4dmN9za0hZ0thEU0mxe8-zARYz9flXes7WQmwOh9yb0U4FHz6LjB2aR9kbnT5uEhOISYW/s1600/HPIM3319.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW24-SaxIUCUghyqGEq4sO7dUFTgMbmVQNZbKNz126fbMmTAMVhF4eTLOAyWWtE_Hcj76vZV4dmN9za0hZ0thEU0mxe8-zARYz9flXes7WQmwOh9yb0U4FHz6LjB2aR9kbnT5uEhOISYW/s320/HPIM3319.JPG" /></a> </div>This picture was taken a few days after his birthday.

My dad is a farmer and grows grain, potatoes, and sugar beets. While we were there they were harvesting sugar beets. Here are some pictures of the tractor and beet harvester. I got to drive a truck. I used to drive truck during harvest when I lived at home, but it's been about 10 years since I last did that. So, I got to drive for about a week. Mike was a good sport to take care of the kids and bring them to the field for visits.<br />

Carson loved to ride with me in the truck and he loved to visit Grandpa in the tractor, but I'm pretty sure his favorite thing to do is pictured below. My mom worked at the sugar beet dump (the place where the trucks would deliver the beets that had been dug up) and Carson liked to sit with her and help her. He got to talk to the truck drivers on the microphone and tell them how much the trucks weigh. I got many reports of funny things he would say to people as they were driving on the scale. <br />
