Brad's new job!

This is Brad's first week at his new job. He works in Downtown Salt Lake at Wasatch Residential Builders. It is a sister company to Wasatch Properties. He is an Estimator (Basically analyzes costs of all the things that go into constructing new buildings.) We are very happy to have this job even though I got used to having him around and now I feel like a desperate housewife again!

Weekend in Idaho

Reid turned 60 on the 28th and Sue threw him a surprise party on the 5th. He had no idea even though we were all in the back yard getting everything set up! Due to a ton of preparation by Sue the party was a great success!

Sue made this awesome cake.

Carson wouldn't let go of these balloons for anything!

4th of July!

Last weekend was a lot of fun for us. Brad got a job offer on Thursday morning and he started on Monday so we made the most of the weekend. We drove up to Idaho for all of the 4th festivities.


We went to the River for a BBQ and hung around until the fireworks. Carson actually watched them for the most part.

"Choice Corner"

This is the corner in our entry to which Carson goes to when he has made a bad choice. Can you guess what choice he made that landed him in the corner? He wouldn't let me get his diaper on and after wrestling for what seemed like forever this is the best I could do!

My Little Helper

Well, I finally got the maid I have always wanted!
If only he were potty trained...

CONGRATS!

My little sister Nanci & her husband Jed had their baby boy yesterday afternoon! They say he looks just like their little boy Jacob. Congrats Guys!

Discovery Gateway

My awesome neighbor invited us to go check out the Discovery Gateway last week. Carson loved it!

There was a machine with tons of these balls first thing when you walked in. I had a hard time getting Carson to give them up!

This thing was just a tube on top of a fan but it entertained Carson the longest. There were little paper parachutes that would fly up the tube and Carson was just amazed.

This was Carson's FAVORITE! Before we left we stopped at the fountains to let the kids play. I thought Carson would be scared to death but he thought it was so fun. I thought I would never get him to leave but unfortunately a bigger kid accidentally plowed him over and Carson was ready to go home after that.

This is what Carson did most of the time.
