A little Catch Up

Historically I have been absolutely horrible at blogging.... BUT I am going to attempt this again. I would like to (mostly for posterity) blog weekly--no matter how boring the week was! I don't care if anyone else reads this... but I need/want this for me and my cute kiddos.

So since I am starting a new blog (old one is karencamille.blogspot.com) I will do a little introduction of each of us- starting with the oldest to youngest. :)

Me: Karen
Age: 29
Occupation: Quality Assurance for Claimwire and a stay at home mom
Likes: Ice cream, flowers, baking, trying to be crafty, going on walks, singing ... and I will admit that I am a TV junkie... Thanks to Netflix
Dislikes: Being hot, speaking in public, cantelope, folding laundry

Stuart
Age: 26
Occupation: Assistant Project Manager at JZW Architects
Likes: All sports (just not baseball), hunting, trucks, guns
Dislikes: shopping, going on walks,

Carter
Age: 3.5
Occupation: Professional Threenager
Likes: Anything sweet, xbox, playing in water, jumping, painting, bubbles, bike rides, Momo
Dislikes: cleaning, bedtime, broccoli

Decker
Age: 1
Occupation: Professional dog grabber
Likes: being outside, milk, any toy that makes noise, his beloved Wolfie, his elephant chair, bubbles
Dislikes: getting shots, Sophie taking his toys

Sophie
Age: 3 months
Occupation: Professional Puppy
Likes: treats, Deckers elephant chair, toys, being outside, Indy (the neighbors dog)
Dislikes: when we leave, Decker grabbing her, baths

So there is the small run down on us. :) We currently live in Layton Utah and we are loving it. We moved to Utah about 2 years ago from Denver Colorado. We bought our house in Layton in September of last year. We bought a fixer upper - so its a ton of fun to see the changes. We love our house so much! Stuart has been doing all the work- its crazy how much he has changed. Everything has been painted and our current backyard is all dirt- as stuart has removed 20 pine trees. Yes- 20! I will have a whole post on the house and all the amazing transformations! :)

Our life was crazy as it was- but we added Sophie to our family in April- she was 8 weeks when we got her. We love her dearly- but she has added a little bit of chaos! :) Here are some pictures of what our life looks like. -- Till next week! xoxo

"Honey"

Wahoo. I am on a roll. :) SOO this week- was seemingly boring, but looking back at the pictures I took- maybe it wasn't? Its been a fun week! Let's start out with my goals for this last week- well if you remember it was to read the scriptures with my boys every day-- sadly I only did this 2 days this week. SO this will be my goal for this week as well. My second goal was to make my bed every day- I am HAPPY to report that I did much better with this goal. I made the bed 5 out of the 7 days. :) But I want to keep this goal for another week as well. Wish me Luck! :) Carter tarter pants... He has said some pretty funny things this week. First and foremost -- he has started calling me HONEY. It drives me bonkers and he thinks it is hilarious.... Stuart thinks it is funny too... gah. Another thing is when he is playing pretend he refers to himself as Carter Turnbow. So I asked him why he was saying "Turnbow" for his last name and he said so he could be just like Grandm...

Update on Summer

Well- I did it again. I stopped posting, life got in the way. I can't believe how fast the summer went, I mean, really. I wish I could say it was because we went on super fun vacations and to the pool all the time... because that certainly is not the case. I am a pretty boring mom. :) We stayed home a lot and went on a lot of bike rides. I wish I would have gone swimming more with the littles, but I was too nervous to take them on my own. Both Carter and Decker love the water and have no fear- which makes for one anxious mama at the pool. The other part is I was not feeling well because of the pregnancy-- but I will do a separate post on that next. So we played a lot inside and worked on the yard. . . oh the yard! I just have to say that its looking amazing! All of Stuart's hard work paid off. The grass is coming in and is simply beautiful!!!! We have been clear to walk on the front and even mow it! The back is a little bit slower in coming ...

What would you do for a free cookie?

I just have to post this so I don't forget this. What I am about to relate is 100% true and I am, honestly, still in shock from it all. . . At the end of last week Carter and our little neighbor friend (he is a few years older than Carter) were having a great time playing. They decided to go and ride bikes. Now, since Carter is only 4, we really limit where he is allowed to ride his bike without a parent. (I know I am kind of like a helicopter parent- but he is ONLY 4!) So when the boys headed out I reminded him to stay on our street and out of the street and to let me know where he would be at all times. . . That last I knew- they were going to be at his friends house... So when his mom texted me and asked me to send him home--- you know me--- I went into FULL panic mode. Went outside and was looking up and down the street and they were no where to be seen. Now full panic mode was pushed into border line panic attack mode. . . So about 30  okay 8 minutes later here came Carter d...
