unusually smily boy for professipnal pictures

Hey Ya'll-

My lil' man smiled for not one, not two but numerous PROFESSIONAL pictures the other day so I thought I'd take the opportunity to post them and be the proud mama...and also give a shout out to the staff at PicCouture in the District- it was a very enjoyable experience.

I love the 3 where he is looking in

they played peek-a- boo

to get those expressions , pretty cool huh?

I love Zayne's smile!

Trip to Oregon

So after the disastrous trip that wasn't to Lava, but ended up being a fun staycation in the end with daily trips to places around here...
Monday(8th) we went to Smith and Edwards- that place is way fun, you can find all kinds of things there for cheap.  I found pink baby booties for 99 cents! 
Tuesday(9th) we went to Seven Peaks in Provo where I saw an ex boyfriend(whom I almost married) and his wife and five kids!  His wife is pregnant with their sixth and all I could think of was how hard it was for Corby and I to get Carson and how glad I'm not her!
Then Wednesday(10th) we went bowling, then Thursday(11th) we went to Park City to the outlet stores before flying out at 10 p.m. to Oregon
 
We went to Oregon because some members of the branch in a small city that Corby served his mission in were celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary!
We have kept in touch with them over the years and decided to go, We flew into a nearby city Thursday(11th) night and drove down to Oakridge the following Friday(12th)morning and visited with some ladies and the old branch President that afternoon.

Then we're foolish enough to drive back to our hotel and then drive back down for the anniversary celebration the following day on the 13th,  We had a great time though and Carson did very well on his first plane ride.

The Happy Couple of 70 years Dick and Sally Stephens with the 3 of us

It was a quick trip- we flew up Thursday night and came home Sunday the 14th but we promised everyone including Carson we'd come again and stay longer.

Definetely looking out for us

On the 7th my family set out to go on a family trip to Lava Hot Springs... we were caravanning down redwood road- my dad was pulling his trailer and then my BIL Phill was behind him and Corby and I  were behind him.  All the sudden the trailer veered from the middle lane into the right lane and hit a silver car and  truck and trailer went up and over a trax  sign and over some trees before it came to a stop. 
My brother who was in the front seat had the foresight to turn the wheel to get it off the road and turn off the car when my dad passed out behind the wheel.  
We never made it to Lava because the truck and the trailer were totaled, but we weren't 10 miles from home when the accident happened. Luckily no one was hurt in any of the vehicles involved. It could've been a lot worse than it was.  
So we all went back to my parents house and made it a "Staycation". The Lord was definitely looking out for all of us that day.
Maybe someday we'll get to Lava again, apparently it just wasn't meant to be that day.

Mr. Heart Goes to the Moon

On day #1 of getting up at 5 a.m. Carson was doing anything BUT doing what this tired mama wanted and that was going back to sleep...

So instead he made up a story about his favorite stuffed animal...Mr. Hearts( is a white dog with red ears, red tail and nose, and it's covered with Hearts)

Mr. Hearts gets in his moon truck and goes all the way to the moon.  He gets out and hop, hop, hops all the way to mommy.  Mr. Hearts gives mommy a kiss and then turns around and hop, hop, hops back to his moon truck.

Looks like we have a creative story writer at 2,

Mother's day

On this particular Mother's day I'm giving my mom and my sister a shout out and my mom-in-law made sure Carson was okay because you see, I had 3 seizures on this Mother's day.  Each time when I came to at home, my mom and sister were right there and when I had the seizure at my in-laws Corby was reassuring me that Everything was okay and when I asked where Carson was he reassured me that my mother-in-law Alaine had taken him when she could I wasn't okay.

So, Thank you Ladies

From This Mama to you

 

 

My Little Man and his daddy

So I made an attempt to go to church today even after having had several seizures yesterday, because I felt really good this morning.  No problems before church, so I got ready and went, but there was something about the stuff they had used to resurface the gym floor with that made my head fuzzy and before I knew it, my sweet neighbor was helping me to the car.

My cute little man was telling this sweet neighbor, "This way Chris, we're over this way." Then he says to Corby, "Hurray daddy, get the door open for mommy."  Then as always after I have a seizure he asks, "You okay mommy?" and gives me a kiss

Looking back

Just two short years ago 3 weeks earlier than I had planned, God planned to bring Carson into my life.  I had gone home from work one night planning to get things ready for my sub because my doctor had said, "I think we're going to go ahead and take him early with all the fluid that you have building up."  I never did make it to school to start planning for that sub, because at 1:30 the next morning I went to the hospital and began the Long labor  of bringing Carson into the world.
Things have not been easy with Carson, he's been in the hospital once or twice and gets croup more than I want to think about.  We have a very unique relationship with our pediatrician but I wouldn't change any of it.
Recently my mom was telling me about a teacher at her school who's wife gave birth over Spring Break and the baby has had so many problems being born early that he (the teacher) hasn't wanted to become attached for fear of the worst.  Their baby isn't gaining the weight he needs to.
When my sister-in-law Kaeloni  found out she was having a November baby I gave most of the clothes Carson grew out of to her, but today I took a bag of the preemie clothes that Carson wore and enclosed a note hoping that his son grew out of just as quickly. 
I hope that this couple gets to return those clothes to me and gets to experience the milestone that we

have with Carson.
