Update

If there is one word that would describe me it would have to be a procrastinator. Every week I say I am going to do better but then decide that this isn't the week to worry about it, to many other things to get to. So here I am loading pictures onto my computer and I see Christmas pictures uploading and wonder how it could have been so long. So this will be a quick catch-up to what has happened since.

There is a lot of changes getting ready to go on in the Carson home. In 2 more months Jason will start his terminal leave from the military. Now when you get to a place when you can say you are retired (not that he actually gets that luxury) that is a very weird thing. Pray for us that we will soon find a job. :)

At the moment Jason is trying his skills at snow caving with the boy scouts. Should be a unique experience for him. Besides that he keeps very busy with work, his calling as a young mens president which includes Boy Scouts, finishing up his 'tickets' for Woodbadge, trying to find a job, fixing a bathroom, and being a dad and husband.

The rest of the us are going threw our days learning and growing.

The next two pictures are of our Jeffrey getting awarded his Bear Rank in Cub Scouts. I am so prod of him.

Fun in the snow. We took our sled up to the Olympics for a few hours and played around. I was a little nervous when the snow got to deep for our car and we got stuck. That was the longest 10min of my day.

The boys had a white elephant for their classes during Christmas. 13 kids in our livingroom, wow, but they all had a blast. Ask Jeffrey sometime about the barbi he got :)

Our cutie boy.

Our Daisy, growing way quick.

Family Additions

So we have added two new member to our family. I really wasn't up for more children to have to take care of but I was out numbered. I actually am getting to where I love having them, that is until there is a mess to clean up. A kitten and a puppy, yep like having babies. Luckily most responsibility goes to the boys but a mother is never out of the loop.

Here Jonah is with Alice, we got her from the Human Society. She is such a sweaty. Loves to be snuggled with, she will come up to you and cry for you to snuggle with her. Right now she is sleeping on Jason's chest while he sleeps on the couch.

Here is our Daisy. She loves her Jeffrey, she follows him around everywhere. She sleeps with him every night. Poor Jeffrey, even if he is sleeping she will go up to him and pretty much lay on top of his head. Not sure what she is. The mother's owners didn't even know she was pregnant. They thought she was getting fatter but didn't realize it till they saw her stomach move. They think she is part black lab. She was the only one who had the white stripe on her head. She also has a little spot on her back and 2 of her paws are white.

My boys. I just love this picture. All my boys dressed in their Sunday Best. I'm not sure what they are doing. This is one way that my Jason leads by example, one of his many ways :)
