IT'S ABOUT TIME

(PHOTO BY LINCOLN HIRRLINGER) THE WAY I LIKE IT! HEADLESS
Wow, I finally have internet at the house. What would we do without it? I also lost my cord in the move to upload photos from my camera. There is so much to tell you about. I guess I will just start with today. I started working at the hospital again and actually it is not so bad. Brian has been "multi-purpose man" around here. He has been Mr. mom, Mr. businessman, Mr. contractor, and Mr. ultimate husband. I sure do love him! He has worked so hard so our family could live in such a wonderful place.

Carson just turned 9 on June 10th. He had such a wonderful birthday with so many great friends. We decided to have a friend party this year with his friends from Rexburg because we knew it would probably be the last. He has met so many wonderful kids at school.....he will miss them. CARSON WITH HIS NEW BIRTHDAY BIKE!

Mom I am going to use your words to explain the fun day.

Let me 'esplane' ('explain' to the non-Spanish population) this party-thing to you! The boys hand-painted their 'football' jerseys (new white shirts) with the number of their choice and their name. They choose teams, went for the huddle and they were off entertaining themselves for at least an hour. When they got too hot, off came the jerseys and they were on to the next activity - waterslide down the front yard - with a lot of gooey Dawn dish soap to help them along.

They went from boiling to freezing in a short amount of time - but this, by far, was their favorite activity. Now, when the sub-zero water temperature was just too much -then aired out on the trampoline then onto the next- cupcake decorating. Oh no, not just ordinary cake decorating! Mommy Heather had them frost their own cupcakes with a knife held in their mouth. The first one to frost, decorate and top it all off with a candle . . .was the winner! Present opening was next and the grand finale was a ride home in Uncle Grif's bus! (After everyone was delivered home safe and sound, the family went to Gringos and thus you see Carson - he got "sombrero'ed". The FUNNY thing was, Carson snuck out of the restaurant right when the waitresses came to SING to him and Brian had to carry him back to the table to get his fried ice cream and an 'embarrassing moment' . . .we all dread it, Carson!

Carson had a GREAT birthday party - his 'official' birthday is actually tomorrow. I feel so fortunate to be with the kids on their birthdays. I know they have other Grandmas and Grandpas that would LOVE to be here with them too.
