So some of you emailed me that you wanted to see some pictures of our dog Raja. He's a four year old Yorkie. We've had him since he was a puppy although he spent two years living with my parents in Texas but since we moved here we've been reunited. It's a little crazy sometimes with the kids and Raja but it's fun! We love him even though he drives us crazy sometimes. He's so cute though, so that helps! The kids have fun with him and he does pretty good with the kids. We hope to be able to give him and the kids a yard to run around in...all in due time I'm sure.
So we generally split up the saturdays in the month into Daddy's day, Mommy's Day, Carson and Lilli have their days with just us and then we have family day where we go do something fun at the park or the zoo or whatever. Last Saturday was Carson's day I thought it worked out pefect for him because it was right in the middle of Landon and Lilli's birthday so he'd get the spotlight too. I had school so he got to go out with Chris alone which was nice for the both of them. They went mini golfing at putt putt. Chris said they had a lot of fun and that Carson even got a Hole In One! He's getting to be a pretty good little golfer. They played the arcade for a while too and turned in their tickets for some Candy.
A quick golfing lesson from daddy and she's off!
Carson taking his shot!
Lilliana's almost on the green, she did pretty good for her first time!
Carson in the bunker, but he got out and on the green in one shot! Watch out Tiger!

For our family day this weekend we had a wii tournement! It was so much fun! It's cool because you can create a Mii, a personalized player and customize it to look like you, somewhat anyways. They both played pretty good, lilli needed a little help from chris, but Carson plays fine on his own. We played golf, and Carson did actaully better than me...no surprise. Let's see we also played baseball, and boxing. That was really nice to get rid of some aggression and it was a surprisingly good cardio workout! Afterwards we went out to coldstone to get some ice cream. Despite being in the Hurricane, (not much of one by the time it got to us, just a lot of wind and rain) we had a lot of fun. And of course we finished off the day with a little College football so it was a great day!
So below (way below toward the bottom) I added a little slideshow with our pictures from our summer trip to Utah! We had so much fun we truly didn't want to come home! We loved getting to see everyone, but we were sad we missed out on some people we wanted to visit! We hope to be able to come out again very soon but to all of you out there the invitation is outstanding for you all to come to Texas and visit us!!! We miss you all and we really miss Utah! Don't worry we'll be back someday! Thank you soo much to all of out family that let us stay and disrupt your lives for a while!
Super Funny Kids Quotes!
New Quotes.:
I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."
Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"
I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)
On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"
We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."
When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)
We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
