The New Baby

So we had our ultrasound on Wednesday, and it's another boy!! I didn't get any pics good enough to blog, but I can assure it's a boy. We have one where it looks like he's sitting on the camera, and there are three legs!! I am getting tired of fighting Mikey about names, so I'm caving in a letting him have Zack. Plus, the next time we have a boy, I get to pick the name!!!! I am very excited for Karson to have a brother! He desperately needs a brother to wrestle with!!!

The Exterminator


So remember I was telling you about our beehive. Well, when we got home from our camping trip, we had a second hive on our shed! Mikey decided it was time to do something since they were getting closer to the house. T.J. came over, in a make shift bee suit, and they sprayed them with some stuff and them fogged them, and then knocked them down. T.J. looked so funny, I had to get it on camera!! Well, our little pests are gone now, thanks to our exterminator!!!

A-1 Lake

Every August we go camping with Lonnie and Georgia, Heather and Myron, and other friends,too. This year our friends T.J. and Chaundra came again, and Heather and Myron's friends, the Waters. It was so nice! The weather was beautiful with a little bit of rain, the guys went fishing, and we went on our usual hike to the meadows. It was so much fun!! Thanks guys!!


This one was my favorite pic with Mikey and Karson on the hike and Karson's first "hiking stick."

Nap Time!


Lately we have had a really hard time getting Karson to go to bed, day or night. When we put him in his bed, he will scream bloody murder and not give up for hours. So, for nap time at least, I just wait for him to crash out. He will lay down wherever, and usually in the strangest places. This pic is one of the many random places he takes his naps!!

Bunco!


So we have recently started playing bunco, and while I always have a great time, I was never any good. I have never won a prize or gotten a true bunco, where you get to wear the pink boa. So, we played last Wednesday, and I got three true buncos! I was so excited to wear the boa, I had to take a pic so I could blog it! I still have never won a prize, thanks to Melody getting five true buncos last time!! Thanks a lot Mel!!!!

BEEHIVE



Mikey was out in the yard yesterday spraying some pest control around the outside of the house and the yard. He was in the horse stables and looked up as he was about to spray this massive beehive!! It's huge! We're not sure how we are gonna get rid of it yet, and Mikey's allergic to bees!

Swimming & BBQing





We went to a BBQ/swimming party at Tami and Aaron's this weekend. It was a blast! Here are a few pics of Karson and Mikey swimming and shooting some hoops!


Karson's first boo-boo


So we went to Mikey's Grandma and Grandpa's cabin in Pinedale last week for a BBQ. Karson was, of course, all over the place. We were sitting there talking, and the next thing I know, he had fallen off the porch and down the stairs. Well, needless to say, he had his first big boo-boo right on his face.

The Broom



So Karson has this new obsession - he loves carrying my broom around everywhere wth him! He will sweep the floors, or just take it along with hiim. But if you don't watch out, he might hit you in the head with the handle!!! Strange kid!

4th of July

I know it's a little late, but here are some pics from the 4th! We were in the Round Valley parade because my brother-in-law, Andrew Tafoya, is running for sheriff.
