Big News

So for those of you who don't know yet, we are expecting baby number 2 and we just found out that it is going to do another boy, as if I am not surrounded by boys already. We are super excited though that we will have the two boys together, I am just praying that we don't end up with ALL boys. Carson still has no idea what is going on but he was in a horrible mood all day Monday when we found out so maybe he does know that something is up. But don't ask why Chyler is winking, I guess the sun is in his eyes or something.

Idaho Trip (It's a long one)

So this summer we had our first Lettie and Zendell, my grandparents, reunion up in Idaho. So I decided to head up early to stay with Alan and Kiersten beforehand while my mom stayed with Nate and Emily to help with the new baby, Kenna. Although it was a really long time to be away from Chyler, we had a great time.

Carson climbs on everything and poor little Bri wanted so badly to join him but just isn't a climber like Carson, or at least she wasn't until after Carson's visit...sorry Kiersten!!

Carson usually just loves to unplug my phone to bring it to me but this is him trying to plug it in, I just love his intense facial expression.

Britney took Carson running through the sprinklers at the park

The Splash Park

Rexburg has added a splash park and the kids loved it and when I say kids, I mean Britney too

Yep, Britney chopped my hair off, I'm still getting used to it

The Idaho Falls Zoo

The IF zoo is great for kids because its just the right size, although I can't wait to take him to the LA or San Diego Zoos because they are incredible.

Britney has found her soul mate

They are so cute

Bri got to get up close and personal with this monkey

The zoo has peacocks running around and Carson would not stop chasing this one

Hugs from Grandma

Britney has to buy Carson's love with soda

Checking out the lions

Carson being cornered by the goat

I had to post this picture because this is what Carson does with all animals, he tries to stick his finger in their mouth. I always tell him no but I don't think he is going to get it until he gets bit. I just hope it isn't too bad once it finally happens.

So little kids + petting zoo + little doors = Carson running through little doors and scary all the sheep inside and me chasing after him. This is us coming out the other side. What we don't have a picture of is all the sheep that ran out before us.

And this is Carson trying to do it all over again.

To feed the goats you have to go out and feed them through the fence. Carson was loving it and he got so excited he just started throwing the food at them and when he ran out of food he just started picking up the bark off the ground and trying to feed that to them. That's what the video is of, just ignore the fact that it is sideways.

One more funny video

The Rexburg Temple

The temple was announced while I was still in school but this is the first time I have seen it since it was completed. It was way pretty and it was nice letting the kids run around in a fenced area.

Carson started knocking on the doors then continued to knock on every surface around half the temple.

The best picture we got of them the whole 10 days

The Hale Reunion

We had a great time with all of the cousins that could make it. The first night we watched a movie out back while the Hales made grandma's homemade doughnuts, YUM!! This is Carson riding the speaker.

Britney and Hailey playing with Carson

This is not a site you see very often of my dad holding a baby so I had to get a shot.

On the last night we had a talent show where the Downey girls did a lip sync of "Girls just want to have fun" and "Material Girl." We were way nervous at first of making fools of ourselves but we had a ton of fun.

On the last morning we got a picture of these three cute toddlers, Bri, Carson and my cousin's baby, Graham. Can't wait to see the three of them together again in 3 years.
