Two deliveries... :)
On August 26th I had to have my gallbladder removed. I had been sick for a while and after a few tests the surgeon said I needed it out. He scheduled my surgery for August 26th and i knew the date sounded familiar but it took me a minute to remember why. We were going to have a new nephew that day!!! I was so disappointed that I wouldn't be able to go see him the day he was born. But the day after I was determined that I would see him no matter what. Me and Ryan went to the hospital and met our new little nephew, Jaxxon. What a cutie he is! Good job Mike and Natalie!!! Congrats!
This was right before my surgery (don't mind the no make up). Thanks Ry for taking such good care of me! And thanks to our families that brought us in dinner!
Yellow Belt!!!
On August 23rd Carson received his yellow belt in Jiu-Jitsu! We are so proud of him and his accomplishment. It has taken a lot of hard work and dedication and he has stuck with it. He enjoys going and improves every time. A lot of family members came to see him and we went to Leatherby's after to celebrate! Thanks to everyone that came. Carson has his first tournament coming up in October and we are so excited!Good job bud!!!
Lava!!!
The weekend of August 6th we went to Lava hot Springs with my family. We had a blast and it was nice to take a little weekend getaway. Friday night we just hung out, walked around the town and Ry and i took a bike ride with my sister and Shaun on my mom and dad's bikes. Saturday we spent most of the day tubing down the river, which I think was our favorite part. On Saturday night we went to the hot springs and sat in there as long as we could stand it- they were super hot! :) Then we went and got ice cream after. Sunday we spent time at the pool and watched Ryan go off the highest platform a couple times! It was a super fun weekend!
Here we are on our way there. :)

Gone Fishin'...
A couple weeks ago we went to a family reunion in Woodruff where they had a fish pond. Carson fell in love with fishing! He caught a total of 6 fish and wanted to fish all day.
Then there was an auction of all sorts of things, some old, some new. One item was one of those fish on a plaque things where the fish sings a variety of songs. Well Carson thought he needed to bid on it, and what do you know? He won! He said it was his trophy for catching so many fish! :)
Gateway
Today we went to Gateway to let Carson and his cousin, Ashten, run through the water. What a great way to entertain them. :) The bonus is they can get wet without mom being grossed out about all the kids peeing in the pool. :)

Happy 4th of July!!!
The 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I can't explain why, I just get a great feeling on this holiday. I have so many great memories of this day and I look forward to it every year! There's something about the small town feel of the good 'ole Magna parade and fireworks. Although a lot has changed since when I first started going, we still had a great time! It is a fun day to remember all that we have to be thankful for. We live in a place that we can live our daily lives without the fear that so many others have to face just to survive everyday.Carson and I first went to the parade. Ryan unfortunately had to
work so we picked up Natalie and headed over to sit with Ryan's family. It was such a nice day and I loved that it wasn't too hot! Carson had fun with his cousins gathering all the candy they could. Carson never eats the candy that he gets, so I guess it's just the act of waiting for it and picking it up that is most fun to him. :)
Natalie and I had a great time watching all of the "great" people of Magna with their mullets, too little of clothing and everything in between. Ha ha
Next we went to Grandma and Grandpa Ames house for a BBQ. We had yummy food and a relaxing afternoon. Ryan met us there when he got off of work.
Then Ryan, Carson and I picked up Grandma and Grandpa Ames and headed to the park to let Carson ride some of the rides and to watch the fireworks.
I LOVE fireworks! I must say that I wasn't thrilled that they played music during the firework display this year. There is something about being able to hear and feel the "boom!" and we couldn't quite get that effect with the music. But we still had a great time!
On Sunday, (the actual 4th of July :)), we took Carson outside to do a few fireworks of our own. He was so excited and loved lighting the fireworks with his dad.
I just love our little family and we always have a great time together. Thank you Ryan and Carson for making me the happiest girl! :)
