Carson's 8th Birthday

Carson turned 8 while we were in California, so we had a family party at my mom's house.

Lemonade Stand in Cali

We spent Memorial Day weekend in California because my sister Adriana went through the temple to prepare for her mission (she's going to Paraguay!). My sisters are the best aunts and took the kids, in my mom's neighborhood, to do a lemonade stand. My mom went too, and here are the pics. They made $30!!!

Madelyn, Carson, and Skyler ready for business!

Mother's Day

I had the best Mother's Day ever! The kids made me breakfast in bed, Jared cooked, cleaned, and took over the kids, and I just relaxed. Here are some highlights...

O.K., I got spoiled this year and Jared shocked me with this laptop! I LOVE it! It is a combo gift for Mother's Day and our anniversary. WOW!!!

Honor Roll Awards Night

Last week Madelyn and Carson were honored at school for getting good grades and making the principal's honor roll. Here they are with their teachers' and trophies. We're so proud of them!
