Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year for Thanksgiving we were able to go to my parents house. It was just nice to get away and just relax and not worry about anything! And it was also fun to have Carson get to know his cousins a little more now that he is older and can talk to them and play! We didn't do much besides eat, do puzzles, talk and hang out, watch the kiddos play and for the adults, play the wii of course! Can I just say, the Wii Fit is a lot harder than it looks. It really wares you out! We brought our camera but like we always do, we forgot to take pictures. Sorry.
Lets be honest....the really good thing about Thanksgiving is the day after or in other words...Black Friday!!! Its tradition for us girls to get up early early that morning and get pretty much all of our Christmas shopping done with by noon at the latest! Most of the time there is always that something that you have to have. This year we were all dissapointed. There wasn't that one thing, or for that matter really anything that I really wanted to get. I mean there were some things that I would like to get but that was pretty much it this year. Not going to lie, I really enjoy the hussel and the bussel in the morning and the rush you get to see if you can get the things you had your eye on before they run out. Don't get me wrong though, I am not one of those people that push others down or who get rude out there. If someone falls, I will help them up, and if I am waiting in line and someone has less items than I do, I will let them ahead of me. Overall, it wasn't a let down. We got some really good things and Jon was pleasantly surprised with some of the items he got! Hope you all had a wonderfull Thanksgiving and made sure to tell everyone how thankful you are to have them in your life!

Happy Halloween!!

Trying to find a costume for Carson this year was a lot of fun, just because he can walk around and have more fun with it all! So this year we thought that Po from Kung Fu Panda would work perfectly with Carson, mostly because he has the belly to make it work! He had so much fun at the Trunk-or-Treat. He got lots of candy, he held his own bag to carry the candy, and he kept the hat on his head for the most part! YEA!

Having fun with daddy....who else??!!

The whole outfit together!

Giving kisses to Parker....so cute!

A quick family shot amougnst all the fun!

Zoo

After a long time of trying to convince Jon to go to the Idaho Falls Zoo with Carson and I, he finally decided to go with us. And how would have thought......we had a lot of fun! I hadn't gone to a Zoo since I lived in Colorado and was little. I was just excited to go. It was a lot of fun to see the animals that they had. The only real downer was that at a lot of the cages they had a sign up saying that "BRR, its too cold here for this animal. They had to go to their indoor housing for the winter. They will be back next Summer though!" Whatever.....you live in Idaho now, get use to this weather! It was fun, and made some really great memories!

The monkeys. The noises they made were hilarious!

5 things I love about Carson

1. How he come up to give us hugs and kisses all the time. Or we will tell him to go and give hugs or kisses to to daddy or mommy and he will do it. So cute!

2. How he dances to music in the background, or he loves to dance to the theme song of mickey mouse club. He absolutely loves that show.

3. How much Carson loves Bananas. No joke. He has to have one in the morning every morning. As soon as he wakes up one of the first words out of his mouth is ......... "Nana?"

4. How curious he is all the time with anything. He finds something new everyday and figures out how to play it or work it. It's amazing how smart he is.

5. How he is still a momma's boy, but becoming more of a daddy's boy everyday. He loves being with daddy all the time. From the minute he gets home to the minute he goes to work in the morning its all about dad. Although it is funny how if Jon tries to tickle me instead of laughing I will act like Jon is hurting me. Carson will get so mad at Jon and start crying. So cute. He does love his mommy!!

Meme

I got tagged from my friend Lindsay Bell. I guess this is called a "Meme."

This would be from Christmas last year. Jon loves to throw Carson up in the air all the time. Although I think he liked it more then, then now. Cute though!


Anyway, I tag how ever would like to do this. All you do is go to your picture file and post the fourth picture in your fourth folder. Have fun if you do!

That's right....I get FREE stuff!!! Jon was able to get me a free Facial.. :) I have never had one of these done before and I guess that its worth 75 big ones!! Good work Hun!

Master Guard Fire Alarms

We went to a dinner seminar about fire alarms. Let me tell you, very interesting. Turns out that the fire alarms that we all have in our houses, apartments, anywhere really aren't that reliable. If you didn't know, we are suppose to clean our fire alarms out once every week. And the one fact that was crazy to us was that 55% of those fire alarms don't work when a fire is happening. And only 45% of them actually work when needed. For fire extinguishers, to not have the plastic black handles because the nozzle breaks off. So if you are going to be in the market for one, make sure to get the metal ones. Those were some of the facts that we found out at the seminar.

We found out that Master Guard Fire Alarms are the most reliable fire alarms out there. They work 100% of the time and if there has ever been a fire, the family was able to get out of the house within 3 min of the alarms going off. They have never not gone off when needed. And if anyone purchases these fire alarms they come and install them and if you leave, they come and take them out and re-install them in your new place. They have a life-time guarantee. That makes us feel good about them in our place!
