Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! This is what we did:



We even had dinner outsidealthough it did get a little chilly

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Make-up Post

He must have known I put an ugly picture up on my blog, because this week my brother actually sent me some pictures! These two are a lot better then the last picture I got!
Brad said "Daniel actually looks tall!" Its probably a good thing he is in Asia, he fits right in!

Update

My parents have been after me to update my blog. Its only been a week since my last post, but I guess my mom is tired of looking at our wedding picture so I'll give her something else to look at.

This week Brad has been home 3 out of 5 days. Its nice to have him home although he probably wishes it was under different circumstances. He was sick Tuesday and then yesterday he had his 4th oral surgery. He is doing really well today, but they said its the 3rd day thats going to be the hardest (Sunday), because thats when the medication wears off.

Last Saturday we were able to go to the UofA football game vs. USC. Brad was able to get tickets at work and it was really fun. Plus we had amazing seats at the 50 yard line and even had a parking pass that was right next to the stadium. Carson loved the game and made it through to the middle of the 4th quarter. By the time we left it was 9:45 pm so he did great. He really seemed to enjoy the fireworks and the band.

Also this week we had a friend take our pictures at the park for our family Christmas cards. So here are a couple pictures that were taken:

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

6 years of Wedded Bliss

6 seems like such a big number. I remember when I was first newlywed and people told me they had been married for 5 years and I thought that was forever away (no joke I really did). I really don't feel like its been that long. Yet at the same time its hard to remember what life was like before Brad.

I was only 19. A child bride. Who, know matter what people said about my age, was in love with a boy. A boy who she knew was the one for her and look how it turned out:

Thanks for everything Brad, I love you so very much.

Hump Day

Tomorrow marks my brother Daniel's one year mark in Taiwan. He loves serving the people of Taiwan and is always very upbeat in his letters home. He never complains! Even when he ate coagulated blood. Yuck! He gets along with everyone, which is probably why he has had such great success. Just last week their ward baptized 5 new members. 4 of those where from my brother and his companion. We love getting his letters each week to hear how he is doing. I can't believe its been already 1 year! It went by so fast (at least for me).

This is the only picture he has ever sent me. So although its not flattering its all I got.

Carving Pumpkins

Carson enjoyed banging on the pumpkin like a drum rather then actually helping carve the pumpkin.Brad was more interested in throwing pumpkin seeds at Carson to see if they would stick, then carving.
I don't know why I even bother, I just thought we needed a little Halloween tradition. Even if it is me doing all the work.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Carson's first Hockey Game

We went to Phoenix this past weekend to see some old friends and went to a Hockey Game. Unfortunately the Coyotes lost, but we did see Sen. John McCain, and there were TWO major hockey fights which were fun to watch.

Carson did really well. He seemed to really like hockey. Here he is enjoying his fruit loops while watching the game.
