2010, Going, going..... almost gone

Wow!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Time seems to keep going faster and faster, the older I get. Our family has had a pretty good year so far. It did start out a little rough though. My Grandpa Tschaggeny was diagnosed with lymphoma on February 24th and passed away on March 28th. He was such an incredible man. I miss him so much, and think about him everyday. I treasure the memories I have of him and am so proud to call him my Grandpa.

Tommy turned 28 in May and Sean turned 3 in June. During the day for Sean's birthday, Carson, me, Ashlee, my mom , Sean and his friend Powell went to Mcdonalds and saw Toy Story 3. We also had a party for Sean at the splash park the next day. We had a pinata, pin the tail on the donkey and a Toy Story 3 cake. He got spoiled rotten on his birthday, but his main present from us was a 4-wheeler. He is a maniac on it!!

picked out for him.

Everyday (and sometimes more than once)

Sean would ask if he was 3 yet, so we made him a chain

and told him whe he reached the top it would

be his birthday.

We spent many of our days outside this summer enjoying the zoo, parks, fishing and camping. We took Sean and Carson fishing for their first time this year. Sean loved it!! The kid cracks me up. He got a fishing pole for his birthday and we would let him cast it out himself and reel it back in. Every second he would say "I got one, I got one." that's all we heard from him all day! Tommy decided to cast his pole for him and let it sit while we were packing things up to go. After a little while Sean decided to reel the pole in, and of course he kept saying "I got one, I got one" at this time we had heard it so much we were about to wring his neck, so we were like yeah ok Sean what ever you say, and kept packing up so we could leave. Tommy happened to look up at Sean and there splashing in the water was a fish. Sean had reeled it in the whole way all by himself and boy was he PROUD!!

I turned 26 in August, and had a wonderful birthday. We were able to go to St. George the middle part of August with my family. We had a really nice time hiking, swimming, and relaxing. Sean and Carson's favorite part was going to Dairy Queen every night for ice cream. (they are just like their mommy.) Carson started walking at 10 and 1/2 months and has not slowed down since, he is into everything. Sean Started school on August 24th. His teachers name is Miss Kim. She is a wonderful teacher. He goes to school 3 days a week for about 3 hours. It has given me a chance to have one on one time with Carson, or run errands with only one kid (man is that nice!!) Do your remember when you were little and said "my teacher said...", well Sean says that about everything! He has learned so many new things, I love seeing the art work he brings home (I am running out of room on the fridge), the new songs he learns, and hearing about his day. He is one smart kid!! (yep, again just like his mommy!)

We decided to get Sean a bike. His 2nd day riding it he crashed and had to get 11 stitches on his eyebrow. He was so dang brave getting his stitches in. But....., getting them out was another story :) Sean also started soccer. He was so excited to play, his team was called the blue tigers. The first game did not go so well. His shin guards we bugging him so I took them off, well he got kicked by a player trying to get the ball and he was so mad. He would not go back in the game. The next few games he did not want to play, but Tommy and I took turns holding his hand and he would run around after the ball. He even scored 2 goals (one was for the other team, but HEY still a goal!) His favorite parts of the game was getting snacks, giving the other team high fives, and doing the cheer. It was his first time playing a sport and we are really proud of him.

First day riding his bike, we went

to Jordan Parkway with my parents

Less than 24 hours... sitting at the ER, thank

goodness they had Disney Channel!

GO BLUE TIGERS!!

Carson turned 1 on October 8Th. He is such a fun boy, he has the cutest personality and ALWAYS has a smile on his face. Some of his favorite things to do are to play with Sean, he loves to chase Zoe around and give her treats, he loves to play with balls, read books, play with my hair, daddy's beard, and give hugs and kisses. My parents, me and the boys went to Discovery Gateway during the day for his birthday. We had never gone there before, but we had a blast. That night we had my parents, grandparents, Ashlee, Mike and Brad over for a party. Chelsee surprised us and came over for the party too. She came from North Carolina to see her family but was able to join us for Carson's birthday. Tommy's family was not able to make it but they sent a cute card and money to get Carson a gift. Carson enjoyed all his presents (and Sean enjoyed opening them) and of course Carson enjoyed every bite of his cake. We are so lucky to have Carson in our family. I know this was a long post, but we had such a fun and crazy 3/4's of the year and wanted to share a part with you. :)

October Adventures

October has been lots of fun so far. We went to a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago and let the kids pick out their own pumpkins. We went with my mom and dad and then they came over to watch the Utes game (they won of course!!) We also had the best apple cider.(YUMMY). Over UEA Sean had a brake from school so my mom, Ashlee, the boys and I went to Thanksgiving Point to the petting zoo. They had some fun Halloween activities for the boys. They got to decorate cookies, make a witch mask, bowl, pin the wart on the witch and a waggon ride. We had lots of fun. Last Friday Tommy, me and the boys went to Jump N' Bounce. We had so much fun (not sure who loved it more, us or the boys) There were lots of slides, obstacle courses, and things to climb and bounce on. Sean did not know what to do with himself, he would run from one thing to the next. Carson was loving every minute of it too, especially the ones that had balls inside. We had the place to ourselves most of the time too. We can't wait to go back soon!!

Carsy would take turns feeding the

goat, then himself :)

Sean could not stop lauging when the

goat was eating out of his hand.

The entire time Carson would

say "jump jump"

Oh man, that slide was so fast!!

Even daddy had to join the fun.

7 Years?!

Well I finally decided to get my butt in gear and start a blog. (Hooray for me!!) I am so sad summer is over. I am not much of a winter person, so I am enjoying as much of fall as I can before the snow starts falling. I am going to do a recap of the summer soon, but for now I thought I would brag about my awesome husband, since we have been married 7 years today!! Wow can't believe 7 years ago on a beautiful fall morning, October 24, 2003, I was sealed to my best friend for eternity. It's crazy to think where I was 7 years ago and how much I have grown as a person. Thanks to my mom and dad for watching the kids and letting them sleep-over, we were able to go to dinner and a movie last night. Life gets a little crazy sometimes and I am so glad to have had Tommy there by my side picking me up. I lOVE YOU SO MUCH BABE!! I am so blessed to have 3 amazing boys in my life , I am one lucky lady!! Here are a few pictures from my wedding day, seems like just yesterday.
