New Kirby, new found passion

Carson loves to vacuum; or maybe he just loves the Kirby vacuum that we just bought.  He is happy to clean the floor and vacuum, just for a chance to use it.  At bath time last night, he wheeled the vacuum into the bathroom so he could look at it

Carson can spell so many words, so a couple of weeks ago, Carson was spelling words for Grandma and Grandpa Knight, and Grandpa Knight asked, "Can you spell 'Corvette'?" He couldn't, so Grandpa made him a deal: when he could spell 'Corvette'

The transmission in our Cobra has had issues for a while. So I bought a rebuilt tranny on eBay a few months ago and Carson and I finally got around to installing it. I searched for a posting on the internet to guide the process, but didn't find

This is for you, Andrea!

I dusted off the old kiddie pool and put it on our front lawn and let the kids swim around. Shoulda done it earlier! (Everything got so serious when I gave them the otter pops.) Comments Andrea (Aug 03, 2009): Yay, pics of the boys. Yo' Mama (Aug 02,

Baking Italian Pugliese

I love baking bread -- I just don't do it often or well. Hopefully a little practice will help. Carson helped me bake an Italian Pugliese with black olives. It was fun to make, but a little rushed. I didn't have time to let it rise

I (obviously) thought this was so funny. Of course, you think things are funnier when they involve your own kids. oh yeah, and it's very cute, too. Comments AuntieM (Jun 12, 2009): OH LOLOLOLOL! This is so funny :) They are so still and posed just right so they

Pre-School Graduation

I had no clue that someone could graduate from pre-school, but Carson did it. They put on a good show of the things the kids learned and did during the year. Then he received his 'diploma' and a flower to give to Angela. It was pretty fun.

Boys Playing in Boxes, Again

Anytime there is a box on the ground, the kids climb in. The packaging for our water storage bags / boxes was lying on the floor, so Carson dumped his cars in, then climbed in with Tucker. They had a great time playing with the cars.

Emergency Water Storage

For a long time, we've wanted to have a decent water supply in case of an emergency. We just never did it. So when Bishop Mueller encouraged the Ward to focus on preparedness this year, we we're excited for the extra motivation. This month, the focus

Aaaaah, Brothers

Carson and Tucker were just outside on our front lawn this afternoon. I walked over to the door, but couldn't see Tucker. I asked Carson, "what's Tucker doing?" Carson says, "He's just eating a rock". (sound of teeth grinding) Another

Look Ma': No Training Wheels!

Carson (with a little help from Dad), decided he was ready to try his bicycle without training wheels. He did pretty well, but in the end, the training wheels went back on his bicycle. We'll have to try again next weekend.

Adventures at the Dentist

Carson went to the dentist for his first, and unfortunately, second time, all in the same week. He had his initial checkup. The dentist said he had really deep grooves in the molars, so Carson returned to have his molars sealed with some sort of epoxy coating. Luckily, with our
