How boring!!

Sorry guys!
I've been so busy with the 'fam' that I havent even had a chance to blog. I know it is way lame to check someones blog and discover that nothing has changed! aargh!
FYI. - Curtis and I are seriously researching an "end of med school cruise", and we would love to have friends come with us. That goes for everyone! (not just the 08 medical graduates) We are also looking for some sugestions.... I've never been on a cruise.

Family fun

Its been tons of fun. We are now in Utah, and enjoying our family. Curtis had his interview at the U on monday. We are so excited to have Curtis with us for the week.
The video was from our stay in phoenix. We had a great time with the Salo family. I dont think we could have fit in any more fun.

Carson and I have been hiding out for a few days, in case you missed us. I've been trying to get ready for this vacation. Its hard enough to pack for several weeks, but then add in traveling to two totally different climates (Arizona and Utah) and it becomes impossible. We have limited space to pack everything so I cant take all that I need. Just so you know... I am packing both my swimming suit, and my winter parka. This could be interesting!
Have fun while we are gone ;)

Thought this was funny

One year ago...

I was helping Kathy get a video for her blog, and decided to do one myself. This is a few photos from our Thanksgiving one year ago. Carson is very upset in one of the pictures because uncle Ryan is leaving with his "bus", otherwise known as an "RV".
Lots of good memories

humm...

I have noticed a pattern in Carson's behavior. These are only two of the examples of what Carson does after being away from Dad for awhile. The first photo was taken in July '06 (after a week in Utah with Mom) and the second was taken in November '05 (after 2 weeks in Washington, Oregon, and Utah with Mom). I'll be sure to have the camera ready when we see Curtis again, I'm interested to see if it is really something his does on purpose or if it is just a coincidence.

both times he laid on Dads lap for quite some time.

Saturday Night and I aint got nobody

All alone, woe is me!

Carson and I have had a slow day, which I don't mind one bit. We managed to clean our home and play a few games without to much craziness.

Yesterday! I had planned to "do nothing", but it didn't really work out that way. Carson had a doctor appointment in the morning. He was all excited to go, even though I told him he was getting a shot. Then he started asking questions about his Daddy (if he was a doctor, and if he was at work..etc.). So I just answered his questions and thought nothing of it. Not until the nurse call Carson's name in the waiting room, and Carson took one look at her an shouted "NOT you, I want my Daddy". I was so shocked!! He was mad as a hornet at that poor nurse. The worst part was that I didn't even see this response coming. I had been answering all his questions, and looking back at my responses, I was totally setting him up for the disappointment. Of Course he was excited to go to the doctor... his daddy is a doctor... his daddy is at work... so his daddy must be here! ahhh!
I also had a doctor appointment, with the dermatologist. He apparently thought I needed half of my left leg removed. So now I have a huge wrap around my leg where he literally removed a "plug" (his words not mine) of flesh about a 1/2 inch deep. Its only slightly sore. But be warned! I am not suppose to shower until monday. So all you guys that we sit next to in church....(j/k I'll shower, but the thought is a little funny)
Curtis says he is doing good. But, I think all this alone time is making him lazy. He needs us around to keep him busy, and out of trouble.

My Day

I started out the day with only a few plans, and thought I would have some time to relax and play with Carson. But in my effort to "keep busy" while Curtis is gone, I am now exhausted. My day started out as usual...late. So Carson and I run off the the swimming pool to do some laps (without breakfast!). In my haste I forgot Carson's yellow space shuttle, so he cried big alligator tears all the way to the Gym. After a quick work-out in the pool, and a record breaking shower, we were off the story time. As soon as story time ended we rushed off to try and get to a few stores before lunch time. By the time we did get home for lunch it was almost 2:00. So we had a quick lunch and a very short nap time (by nap time- I mean that Carson slept- I had other things to accomplish). I then had to pull him out of bed and literally run to a doctor's appointment. Then two more stores, and the pharmacy! I was dragging my "sorry-sack" into the apartment at 6:00, totally exhausted. After making diner and giving Carson a bath it was nearly 9:30 and I was ready for BED!!! So now I have come to a decision.... tomorrow... I am going to do as little as possible, AND maybe next month I'll be the one to go away!

Flash from the past

I really don't think this was all that long ago, but it is still fun to reminisce. This blog was inspired by Sharlene... thanks!

I had to share this photo of my family. Notice that my sister is pregnant. A fact that she didn't share with us until about 2 weeks before the wedding, when she informed me that she had not bought a dress yet because she was worried it wouldn't fit later (then explained that she was about 6 months pregnant). I assumed that she was just being a "girl" and that she would hardly look pregnant when she arrived. Imagine my surprise... that little bump would have been hard to hide. But she has repented of her secretive ways and informed me of her 3rd pregnancy a lot sooner than the last. I love you Shaun : )
And I had to share this one, because of the funny expression on my face. Curtis looks great! But I think I was giving our photographer a glare because my face hurt from smiling soooo much, and it was about 5 degrees outside.
Thanks for letting me share with you. And get a good look, because there is no way on Gods green earth that this dress will ever fit me again. It is just not going to happen.
PS. If you are reading this Curtie Poo --I Love You!

Sneak Peak

We also had our family photos taken while out at the sand dunes. I am sharing them with you guys early because people who read my blog are way cool.

Desert Adventures

When we moved to Las Vegas I wondered why anyone would live in the middle of a sand pile. And I certainly didn't have a need to go out and find more sand. But today I stepped out of my 'usual' , and we went on an adventure out to the...well... further into the desert. Brad and Danielle were so gracious as to take us out through the sand dunes in their four wheel drive jeep. I was only a little nervous when Brad was "unable" to stick to the main path, and had to tryout a few hills. But I knew that he wouldn't do anything to crazy, because we had all the kids with us. (right? Danielle?)
We had a great time with our friends, and would love to do it all over again as soon as we get all the sand out of our...self ; )

We only had a few troubles with the vehicles. The funny part is that we caught it all on film.
