Finally

So I finally created a new blog today. Not much on it yet but add this to your list for checking our blog now!! http://www.thecarpentersix.blogspot.com/ I had to create a new one because I ran out of space on this one and they want to charge me to add more pictures so sorry for the inconvenience but we have moved from Carpenter five to Six almost 2 years ago so I guess it is a good time for a change!!

Problem???

Ok so today I was trying to upload some photos and before it finished it gave me a popup that says I have used all my space for storage and I can purchase more??? What I thought blogging was free!! Has anyone else ran into this? Do you pay to have more storage each year? Please if anyone has dealt with this will you tell me what you did.

Happy 8th Birthday Carson

Carson's birthday landed the day before he got baptized. We had lots of family that was able to make it to our house for his birthday and stay for his baptism. He got to open some birthday presents on his birthday and we saved the cake and "baptism" presents for the next day. He got the needed items for his birthday scout shirt, scout book, baptism towel, a game, and a new shirt and tie. I didn't want him to have no treat on his birthday so we cooked him up some cookies and just had cookies and ice cream!

300 Squares

A couple weeks before Carson's birthday Briana's favorite skirt started wearing thin. I asked my mom if she could fix it and so instead she decided to make Briana a new one. It was quite a surprise or Briana and she just loves it. My mom spent at least three days working on it and she said it has over 300 squares but I think it is just right. It is big enough she can wear it for a while and long enough too I am sure Briana will get a lot of use out of it she has already wore it 2 or 3 times since getting it. Thank you Grandma!

13 YEARS!!

Amelie and Sierra watched the kids while Steve and I went to lunch out. When we got home they had cleaned the house and made us brownies for our Anniversary treat. Thank you girls for all the hard work it was so nice to come home to a clean house.

Serious Snow Storm

This was just at the end of February and one Saturday morning we woke up to this. It had been so nice the day before that this was quite a shock. We were just hoping it would warm up and melt soon so everyone could come for Carson's baptism the next week.

Temple Square

We took Amelie to see temple square and the conference center. Then we headed to lunch at Tucano's. We had a fun day showing her some of the things that are important to us. Our tour guide at the conference center took the picture of us by the waterfall window shere we are like shadows it was really cool.

Catching Up

I just started uploading all the pictures that I haven't put on my computer yet and realized I am a little behind on blogging. So for the next few days look for the new posts. First of all look at these banans they were the longest bananas I have ever seen the kids were fighting over who should get to eat the biggest one. To be honest I'm not sure who won the fight but think maybe Steve ended up taking it to work!! We also went to Salt Lake are for the weekend and stayed with my sister and Paityn loved going in and out of the dog kennel and she was mad when we finally made her get out.

Dressin her Best

 Paityn telling grandma thank you

My mom crocheted this darling dress, hat, and purse for Paityn and so we tried it on her the day we got it and she ran around in it for a while and carried the purse around. It was hard to get her to sit still for a picture so when I dressed her in it for church I decided to snap a couple with me holding her so she would be still for a minute. Thanks grandma for the cute dress, I got lots of comments at church about it!

There it Went!!

I have been trying to convince Sierra that she should cut her hair. She gets headaches quite often and I've been telling her she should cut her hair and it would help but she didn't want to so I just left it at that. Last Friday night she had a dream she cut her hair and on Saturday morning she told me she wanted a hair cut. I had a meeting in the morning and I thought maybe by the time I got back she would have changed her mind but she didn't so All the girls except Paityn went to the salon and Sierra, Briana, and I all got our hair cut. Sierra's was the most dramatic as you can see she had just enough to donate to locks of love. Way to go Sierra someone else is going to love you hair just as much as you do.

My Kids Love Each Other!!

I guess my kids do love each other!! I saw the nicest thing today. I help in Briana and Carson's classrooms every Tues. today I went and helped in Briana's then ran a couple errands and headed back to Carson's class. I signed in at the office and headed to his class that is at the farthest end of the hallway when I got there the door was closed. I tried to go in but the door was locked so I knocked and waited, then I knocked again and waited, then as I was waiting I looked at the door and there is a heart that says I love you Carson From Sierra! The school has hearts that anyone from your family could come fill out and tape to the walls of the school this week. After I knocked and waited a couple more times I finally got into the classroom and then when I talked to Carson he said mom look and showed me the heart and then he said I am going to make her one too!! What a great day to know the kids really do love each other even though most the time you can't tell.

YW New Beginnings

Sierra got invited to YW New Beginnings this year so Amelie, Sierra and I went. There night was focused on "Your Happily Ever After is Now" it was fun they had a castle made out of cardboard all over the room and then each of the girls had tiara's that were really fun. Someone let me borrow their tiara so we could take the picture. Wow I cannot believe Sierra will turn 12 this year, it is a big year for us I guess Carson will turn 8 and Sierra 12 fun to have two great things in one year!! How time flies....
