While in Utah over Christmas, we updated family photos! Carson was a bit cranky, but that's Carson...so it was still cute! We hope you enjoy them!

Wow, where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that Ned and I met and got married in the space of just a few months! We have been so blessed the past few years with two beautiful children, and all of Ned's many accomplishments with work. 2007 has been very kind to us, and we look forward to many more years together!

There aren't enough words to describe Tatum. She's everything good in the world wrapped up into one big smile and bear hug. Tatum is sweet and kind, gentle and loving. Tatum has grown so much this past year. She has really blossomed into a sweet little girl. We are so lucky she was sent to our little family!

Here are some pics of our little Carson. He is such a joy in our lives. My pregnancy with him was hard and there were many days I felt I coulnd't go on. But it is all worth it whenever I see his darling face!

We had a wonderful evening at Temple Square last night! We got a babysitter for Carson and took UTA Trax down to Temple Square. We had a nice family dinner and enjoyed the lights and sigths of downtown Salt Lake. Tatum was really excited to have her very first train ride!

I came upstairs this morning to see my two favorite guys sacking out on the couch. TOO CUTE!

Carson loves the Christmas tree! He's also facinated by the train going around it!

Our second night in Salt Lake, we had a huge snow storm and got about a foot of snow! Tatum and Dad bundled up and went outside to make a snowman. Tatum named her snowman "Canada"!

Hey Guys! We are leaving for Christmas vacation tomorrow and I won't be posting for the next couple weeks. We'll be in Utah enjoying the holidays with both sides of the family. We wish all of our family and friends a very Merry Christmas and will be back in the first week of January. Ned's command doubled his leave period because of his school in November. He was supposed to take 10 days leave, but wasn't able to. See you in a couple weeks!

I was at K-Mart in May and found a great deal on an inflatable fire engine with 40 balls. I was really excited, because to me it just screamed "Carson!". So I got it for his birthday and I've had it in the closet for MONTHS! When we gave it to Carson for his birthday, he just cried and cried. He doesn't want anything to do with it. It's been 4 days and he refuses to go near it. Sorry, Carson! In the mean time, Tatum has fun playing with it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARSON! We are having another party for him in Utah next week, but we had to celebrate on his big day. Nothing crazy, just cake and a couple of friends. Carson loved it and that night we took him to Wendy's and got him his very own kids meal. He ate EVERY BITE! How fun!

Carson started crying as soon as we lit the candle. He probably thought we were going to do something else with it besides eating it. If there's one thing Carson loves, it's cake!
