Carter feeding the bulls (like he was supposed to)
The other day we were at my parents and I sent my kids out to help with chores. I later came out to find them doing this
Nick turned 30 on Sunday! He is an old man but we still love him! We are sure lucky to have him. He is a wonderful husband and father. We had to speak in church as a family so our morning was consumed with our talks and then we had family over after church. We just ate dinner, opened presents, had cake and ice cream and visited.

We made a soccer ball pinata for Nick to go along with his present.You can't really tell it is a soccer ball but we tried - our marker died, so we only got half of it colored:(
We had a lot of fun making it
but we had even more fun kicking it to break it open!
It was a fun day and we hope Nick enjoyed it. He gets to go to the world cup qualifier game between the U.S.A and El Salvador! He is pretty excited! Happy Birthday Honey we love you!
We blessed Tyson on Aug.1st. Yes I am once again behind on my posting but at least we are still in the same month. Anyway, we decided to bless him in Evanston because Nick's sister was home from Tennessee. Nick's brother and his wife had a baby just before us and we decided to bless them together so Rachel could attend! It was a really special day and it worked out great because my sister was here from Arizona. Nick did a wonderful job of blessing him! I am so thankful for him and that we have the priesthood in our home!
Lauri's sister came and took some pictures and I hope I can get my hands on some because my camera died after a only getting a few.
Here is Tyson after the blessing just smiling and happy as always
His Grandma (Nick's mom) made this outfit for him! She is amazing. She has made each of my kids their blessing day outfit and they are all so adorable and it is such a special thing! Thank you Sue!
Such a handsome guy!

July 26th was Carter's 2nd birthday - yes I know I am slow posting these. Anyway he had a great day and it is hard to believe that it has been two years.
Carter was so excited for his birthday!
He really liked eating his breakfast in bed!

So I just have to tell this story about my little Abby. She has always been a button pusher and likes to see how far she can push. Well, the other day we were at my mom's and we were helping her plant her garden. After we were done we decided to put chicken wire around it so that all the rabbits would not eat everything. My dad was helping put it up and was inside the wire finishing up. Abby came over and asked, "is Grandpa in jail?" My mom replied, "Yes, he was saying naughty words so he had to go in jail." Abby gasped and said, "oh no, did he say stupid?" "Yep he said stupid" was the reply. She then asked if she could go in there with Grandpa and my mom told he she didn't want to go in jail and that Grandpa was coming out in just a minute. She told her that we needed to stay out so the plants could grow. Well, Abby really wanted in there so a couple minutes later she started running and dancing around the outside of the garden singing, "stupid, stupid, stupid..."
Oh boy am I in trouble. She is such a cute little girl but like I said, she likes to see just how far she can push and I am afraid of what is to come. I am just thankful that she isn't pushing all the time!
