Farming with Grandpa

On the way home from Island Park (see following post) we stopped at my parents' house for a short visit. My dad took Carson out to "help" him go farming. It was really cute. Carson enjoyed "driving" the small tractor, checking the water, turning on the pump, and riding his first 4-wheeler. (By the way, don't those crops look great!)

Island Park Reunion

We went to Island Park with Mike's extended family (the Crocketts) this past week. Carson loved playing with his cousins. We visited Big Springs to feed the fish, but it turned out there were more seagulls than fish to feed. He also loved playing in the dirt and picking wild flowers. The first day we were there we went rafting, but I don't have any pictures because we were all too afraid our cameras would get wet and so we left them in the car.

Tomatoes

The house we live in has a small garden plot, so we decided to try our hand at growing tomatoes. Only tomatoes. Here's Carson holding our first ripe tomato. We're pretty excited that we actually grew something.

Fishing

Mike took Carson fishing at a pond here in Brigham City last week. They had a lot of fun, but didn't catch anything.

Happy 4th of July!

We previewed our fireworks last night. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!

Swim Lessons

Carson and I have been taking mom & tot swim lessons together at the Brigham City Pool. We've had a lot of fun.

Summer Fun

The weather finally got hot here! We've been trying to find a way to stay cool. Here are some pictures of our efforts!

Carson playing at a friend's house. He didn't really want to get wet, but kept saying how much fun he was having.

Mike decided Carson needed a slip-and-slide. They had a blast playing with it in the backyard.

A Trip to the Zoo

Last Saturday we went to Hogle Zoo with some of our Brigham City friends. They have a little boy that is just a few months older than Carson. The two were really cute and Carson was super excited to see all of the animals.


Here's Carson checking out the elephants.

The two boys rode in this wagon most of the day. Here they are consulting the map. Every time Carson got back in the wagon he had to get his map out. Super cute! (But, I am biased!)Carson loved taking a drink out of the lion's mouth. Even today he asked me if he could get another drink from the lion.

Hair Cut

Carson was in desperate need of a haircut this week. Here's the before and after just to give you an idea!

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

We visited my parents last weekend and while we were there we went to Jackson Hole to visit my sister who is working there. She works at the Bar T 5. We also went on the Alpine Slide and Carson's first chairlift ride while we were there. The Bar T 5 hosts a wagon ride, dinner and show. It was tons of fun and Carson keeps talking about how we need to go on another "laggon" ride to see Aunt Shanae and the "horseys". (Just click on the pictures to make them bigger)
