Last night was a pretty fun family night. I printed out a map of the world and talked to the kids about where they might go on missions. After Dillon told them about flying to England for his mission Carson pointed first to Mongolia, and then Madagascar to where he’d want to go, and Devon…
Big Brother
Carson has, as of the last few weeks, really taken to his “big brother” role. He has always been a pretty good big brother, but let’s face it, siblings like to fight and they do their fair share. They have been getting along better and better though as they’ve gotten able to work things out…
First Crush
Carson just has a thing for June. It started earlier this year when we discovered Little Einstein (we don’t have cable and so I just have some DVD’s and the boys became obsessed instantly). So it would start with him coloring her and then we’d put him to bed. He’d whisper to me, “Mom, can…
Trick or Treat!!!
Before dinner we went to our wards’ Halloween Parade around the block. They got donuts afterwards. Devon didn’t want to do it, and Carson was already tired by the time we got to the park, and then had to march quite a long ways around. He was dead last coming back, as I predicted. One…
A 4 year old on a mission…
So I was taking a shower upstairs when Carson found my camera. He took a total of 23 pictures. Usually when they are bored and make a big mess or something, instead of getting too angry, I grab the camera and take some photos so I don’t get so mad. Well, this time they were…
Carving Pumpkins
This was great! The kids had a blast. The picture to the left is them looking at the insides. Carson had to say, “Ohhhh, you didn’t tell me you were going to kill it!” Our pumpkins weren’t the biggest from our garden, but we made them work. Carson drew the face on his and so…
Trick or Treating with the Animals at the Zoo
And I don’t mean the animals at the zoo. I could not believe that I joined this crowd of insane people to get a measly 15 pieces of candy for the boys. Never. Again. Sure, the boys had fun, but when you factor in that it took 20 minutes to find a parking space 1/4…
Grandma Kathy’s Halloween Party
My mom threw her grandkids a Halloween Party. She put a lot of time into it and the kids had so much fun. They always love getting with their cousins! (More pics of the cousins are posted on our Williamson blog). We made paper plate spiders that look really cute above our kitchen table. Grandma…
The Little Things that Make Me Smile
A couple days ago I came down from getting ready to find Carson reading books to Devon (which is Devon’s most favorite thing to do–read books). He “read” to him for 40 minutes!!! It was so cute and I realized how much I love the simple things in my life that make me so happy….
FHE Cookie Making
I just love the holidays! It is so fun to do a ton of crafts with the boys and just enjoy family time together. This was a little crazy getting these cookies made, I forgot a main ingredient (sour cream) in the sugar cookies–cause who knew the recipe would call for an odd ingredient like…
