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)

Carson's "Scrippers"

On Sunday Carson was deeply interested in Mike's scriptures. He wanted to hold them and "read" them and then he asked where his own scriptures were. So, Mike found him a Book of Mormon of his very own. He carries it around and tries to "read" it. This particular Book of Mormon has some pictures in the beginning of it. Here's a conversation we had this morning:

Carson: Mommy, I found Jesus.

Me: (I was getting breakfast ready and wasn't looking at him) Oh, where is he?

Carson (with a big smile): In my scrippers. Mommy, Jesus was hiding in my scrippers!!!!

This afternoon I had him lay on his bed for his nap and he begged me to let him hold the Book of Mormon. I finally let him (I usually don't let him play or read anything in bed). I discovered that reading scriptures make him sleepy too! In a few minutes he was totally asleep. Yet another reason why I'm thankful for the Book of Mormon!

Baby Animal Days

We took Carson to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center. It was so much fun.

Here he is with the bunny. He LOVES to wear sunglasses. Mike and Carson checking out the baby chicks.

The lamb.

A baby turtle.

A toad.

At the end of the day he was still smiling. . .A great sign!

Spring is in the air. . .

It got a little bit warmer here this past week and Carson and I ventured outside. As you can see from his red nose, it wasn't really warm, but we had fun.


Carson is the kind of kid that will usually only fall asleep in his bed, but lately he can fall asleep on the couch. I think it's really cute.

And so it begins. . .

Wow! So here we are. Our first post. Well, it's really Shara's first post because I'll be the one doing most of the actual writing. Stay tuned for more.
