19 months

Jonesy and Maggie are big kids these days. Turning 19 months old a few days ago. Mag is still itsy bitsy teeny weeny and is barely outgrowing her 6 month clothes. Jones is full figured and doing just fine! Both babes still LOVE their binkys and I don't want to talk about it. :) They love wagon rides, grandma, gum, silverware, sleeping, their big siblings and creating chaos wherever they go. They are darling kids with lots of personality and we are grateful for them.. (but man, is it ever hard most days!!:)

RACE for JACE

On Jan. 4th, my good friend had her world turned upside down when her cute little 8 year old Jace, started his shirt on fire with a lighter. This accident sent Jace to the emergency room down here in St George where they found he needed to be flown to the U of U Burn Center in Salt Lake City for treatment. He has extensive burns covering more than a quarter of his body and now they have taken skin from the areas that were spared, for grafting, which makes more than half of his body an open wound. Our neighbors immediately came up with the idea for Race for Jace as a way to help with the Carlson's expenses and to show our support. We also wanted our children to get involved and see a community pull together for a family who is in need. This race is going to be a huge family event. We want families to come and run or walk together and support the Carlson Family. After the run, there will be authentic mexican food available as well as a bake sale. Live music will be performed by "Erik the Red" and there will be train rides and activities for kids. The Race for Jace website is http://www.raceforjace.com/ and the facebook page is found here. Hope to see lots of you there!

You ARE coming... right?

The date... Jan 20th. Location.... St George (Washington Community Center). The Event? Well, HERE is the event..

Courtney is pretty funny if I do say so myself and listening to her speak will be a memory you will NOT forget. I love what she's done for the blogging world and what she will do for the Deseret News! Soooooo exciting! I love how she is learning new things, mostly about herself, and how she's teaching us to just relax, be nice and accept ourselves.

Courtney was a great snuggler back in 1996 and I'm sure she still is.

Ummmmmmm, Happy New Year?

I kind of forgot that I had a blog. But it has been a super nice break away from the computer and all things pictures. We spent our first Christmas away from all our family and stayed here in St George, which turned out low-key and very nice. Now that its a new year, I've been thinking about how eventful and exciting last year was for us. One thing I was thinking about at 3am while battling insomnia was the "firetruck incident." A mom's worst nightmare. A group of kindergarteners, an old firetruck (that starts by pushing a button! Hello?!) a really nice black car parked in the firetruck's path, and our neighbors HOUSE. Yes, the firetruck nearly crashed into our neighbors front door. What an event! So glad that we have learned our lessons from that one. Anyhoo, hopefully this year will be eventful in a good way as the kids grow up and learn lessons. And us adults too! Happy New Year! :)
