Baby Eli!

My Sis Annalee & Scott adopted a beautiful baby boy a couple of weeks ago! His name is Eli, he was born on June 7th. He joins big brother Ben who is so excited!

"Jacob's Ranch"

We were able to go down to Aurora this weekend to my Sister's husband's family ranch. Carson calls is Jacob's ranch and can't wait to go back! It was a much needed vacation for us and thanks to the Johnson family for hosting us. My sister did all the cooking and provided us with plenty of treats! (Swedish fish included and I did manage to finish the bag off in less than 2 days:)

I have never seen Carson or Brad have more fun! Carson & Jacob were so cute together. We didn't even have any major meltdowns!

Are my men handsome or what?

I think chaps are a great look for Brad:)

Brad & Carson, Jed & Kade, Nanci & Jacob on the trail!
(I being very large with child could not ride the horses or appear in any pictures.)

We went on a drive attempting to find some sand dunes but missed the turn and went on a very long scenic drive. The boys fell asleep and the adults actually got to have adult conversation. What a miracle.

What more can a boy ask for after a long days work? An otter pop on the porch.

Thanks Jed and Nanci for an awesome weekend!

Thomas the Train

We decided to take Carson up to Heber on Memorial Day weekend to see Thomas the train. He talked about it for 2 days before and is still talking about it but from the minute we got there to the time we left he said about 5 words. I don't know if he was just in awe or scared of all the people.

This is the "sticker" that he showed everyone he saw until it washed off.

The actual train ride - this was his expression most of the time.

His favorite thing was the balloon sword he got.

Wow - Thomas the Train in the flesh!
