It's 2:09 so I will spare you all the story of how cute she is. It's coming later for sure. xoxoxox

Jaxon Lies...ha ha

Jaxon is on a little vacation in Victor right now with Randy, Cath and kids. Catherine just texted me this a minute ago... "Okay.... so we were at Big 5 sporting goods today getting Jessica some things for softball. Dallin was showing Jaxon the baseball cups explaining what they were for. On the way home Jaxon mentioned the cups again and said...."My dad's weenie is really big, if you guys saw it you would freak out". We are laughing so hard right now....I love the things that come out of his mouth sometimes.

Its all in how you look at it

"oh the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words - but pouring them all right out - just as they are - chaff and grain together - certain that a faithful friend will take and sift them - keep what is worth keeping - and with a breath of kindness - blow the rest away".

Quick trip

Last minute... Thursday evening..I loaded up my kids and dog and headed north. My mom's best gal was turning 50 and we just needed a debbie-bubba fix really bad. We cooked, cleaned, celebrated 50 years of life, rough housed with cousins and caught up with my sisters. There's no feeling like being with your mom when you are a mom. I feel so relaxed and comfortable. It's truly the only time I feel like I don't have to be "everything to everyone". The mattress is still worse than any one I have ever slept on or would ever sleep on unless I got to wake up with that feeling that only being home can bring.

Easter in the Hood

Easter came and went. We went to a new and interesting church with Ross's Grandmonica,Complete with a dramatic interpretation set to holy music. What a treat! He lives....I promise

spring

They just keep coming

The other Carsons came for a visit. Ivy followed Emily all over the place. Jax would'nt let Dallin leave his side. I remembered just how much I love and miss my sister in law and just how much Ross needs his big brother around.

Jax is all about doing his hair just like Dallin's these days.

My mom paid us another visit too. This time she brought along her partner in crime and sister, Diane. The crazy duo stayed in last night while the hubby and I grabbed a drink downtown. Thanks, Ladies!

Ivy got dressed up like a barbie in this wig created by "Paris Hilton". She looks like shes 7 when she's wearing it. We almost had my mom talked into picking up her sister from the airport wearing it. ALMOST..

We hit up this fun piano bar downtown called, "keys on main" last week with Tasha while John was in China doing all things Chinese.

Who new Mary poppins had a Brazilian Grand daughter?

Now that I'm sort of a working girl I had to figure out someone to watch my kiddo's. They have never been to daycare and for some reason everytime I thought about it I would tear up. Lucky for us, we met Renata. She is recently married and just found out she is pregnant. Jaxon thinks he speaks Portuguese now and Ivy kisses her the second she walks in the door. The other day I told her that Ivy called her, "Tunata" and Jax calls her, "granata". She laughed and told me that I have been pronouncing her name wrong too. I guess the "R" in Renata sounds like an "H". Well, whatever the hell her name is.......... We really love her! For some reason my mom busted out, "head,shoulders, knees, and toes" the other day in Portuguese. I'm still laughing about that one for some reason.

All the cool pictures were fuzzy

Rachels sisters were out in full force this weekend. They were here for a funeral but managed to add in a little fun. We loved seeing them all together. It makes me miss my sisters. More pictures to come from someone who's camera didnt go buzzy.

We miss mom, cali, drake and baby Laynie

Mom, Cali, Laynie and Drake came for a short visit. Way to short.. Drake and Ivy are so fun to watch together because they are pretty much exactly the same age. They sorta love each other. Sorta! Laynie is so chubby now and looking so cute. Jaxon was sad that Uncle Trevor didn't come with them.

We are alive..

Playing with cousins at the Provo beach resort...


Seriously... Both these little girls are named, "IVY TAYLOR".

We are so Hip

This is us in all our Glory. We are so exciting these days that I can't even put it on a blog. You feel me?
