Bear Lake Round #2

(Sorry they are sideways, I tried to flip them)
This is us, on our way to Bear Lake! We went with some family friends.

Dax, didn't like the water so much. He was such a stubborn boy.

He did like playing in the sand though. Which was good. He has fun playing with Tyson.

Carson was pushing Ray and Nick's buttons, so this is what happens when they have had enough..




Ray dug a little hole and put Dax in it, and covered him up with sand. Dax did like this.. Finally something that made Dax smile!!

I think the best part of the day for our little Monster is playin in the sand. He did tho lose his balance while playing in the sand with the girls and hit his little mouth on a toy, he had blood running out of his mouth, and has a scraped up chin. Poor little baby. He only cried for a little bit and wanted him Ma Ma. But shortly after we walked out to the boat and got on for one last ride.




Overall, we had a pretty fun day. We are so glad that we have such good friends. Especially ones that have boats. Ha ha ha! Thank you all!!

LAGOON!!!

So, on Sunday August 15th we were invited to go to Lagoon with Kami, Garrett, and Kaden. My mom and Rob came too!! I was sooo excited to take Dax to Lagoon-a-Beach. I knew he was going to LOVE it.. Well, so I thought?
Our little family went down to Salt Lake on Saturday and stayed in a hotel. Thank goodness for Priceline!! I LOVE IT!! We got a $130.00 hotel room for $40.00! After we checked in to our hotel, we walked down to the Gateway to have dinner. After we ate, they had a little kid land thing there so we decided to take Dax on a boat ride.. He didn't really like it too much..
We had a rough night. Dax had a fever later that night. And we didn't get a real good night sleep. But, before we knew it was time to wake up and get ready for Lagoon. YIPPEE!!
I didn't take any pictures of Lagoon-A-Beach. But Dax didn't like it very much. He did warm up to the kiddie pool finally, and enjoyed going down the mini-slides. Cousin Kaden was such a good helper too. He was showing Dax how to have a good time. My mom and Rob took the kiddos after the beach so that we could go have fun and ride rides. Thanks Mom!! We had a ton of fun. We were able to ride my favorite ride Cliff Hanger. It broke down while we were on it, but that is ok. We rode the ride as long as we stood in line. LOL!!
Dax was able to ride a Merry-Go-Round. He loved it until it started to move.. He kept looking up trying to figure out how and why it was going up and down.

We went and rode the Rocket before heading home. It was getting late. Ray had to work the next day. I thought that Daxy would have zonked out as soon as we got into the car, but boy was I wrong. He SCREAMED from SLC to Diamondville. He finally passed out when we went down the hill into Kemmerer. Come to find out the next day that he had Thrush in his mouth, poor baby. I feel like everytime we go to Utah he gets something. Last time we went he ended up getting an ear infection and now he got thrush. Oh well, it has been just about a week and he is getting back to his normal self now.
Overall Ray and I had a Blast at Lagoon. Dax, not so much, but there is ALWAYS next year.

F.A.I.R

Today I got a text message from Carolyn that invited us to go to the Lincoln County Fair. I was pretty excited to go because Dax has never gone to a fair. So we decided to join the Carlson crew (minus Ted). We started out leaving town at about Noon. I was a little relieved on the time because Dax hadn't had a nap yet and it is about 1 1/2 hour to Afton so it would be perfect for his nap.. To my surprise he didn't sleep (silly boy). He had too much company in the car I guess for him to have a little shut eye. He was playing a game with Carson where Carson would scream and Dax would scream back. And Nick was sitting there screaming at Dax to stop. Ha ha, it was all too funny. We are just trying to "prepare" the boys for what ahead with their baby sister Chrislyn.

When we arrived at the fair we went first to the rides. Dax got to ride his very FIRST ride. He was a little tired from not sleeping well I don't think he enjoyed it as much as he would have if he would have taken a nap..

The ride worker was kind enough to slow the train for me while I was trying to take a picture. But to my surprise the ones that turned out the best were the ones that were taken while the train was moving.
\ Nick was Daxton's little helper on the ride. Daxton LOVES the Carlson kiddos so much! After the rides they had a Reptile exhibit. There we saw Tortious (spelling, sorry) and Alligators, and Chamelions, and Iguanas. I only got a picture of the Tortious.. They were all so awesome. This was Daxton durning the Reptile exhibit.. Mommy does know best. If he would have taken a nap on the way to Afton he could have been away for some pretty neat stuff. Later we joined up with Mica, Madison Ritter, and Brittany Ritter. We met under the tent where there was a illusionist there. Carson even got to go up on stage and be his assistant. He was pretty proud of that. We finished off our day with a snow cone, a new onesie for Dax which says " My mom is hotter than your Mom" (I had too) and a Navajo Taco (not WW approved, but I WILL do better tomorrow) and we got to watch a hypnotist. We had a great day. It was exhausting, but super fun! I am soo glad we went. We will have to take Daddy next time, he would have fun too. Thank you Carolyn and Kids for thinking of us today!!

First Day of Many!

So, yesterday I got a text message from my Mom saying "Kam and I are going do to WW, you should do it with us." I was hesitant at first. I haven't been successful at losing weight since I stopped breast feeding Dax. But after talking to close friend Carolyn, I decided to give it a try. I weighed in yesterday, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

This morning it is my first day.. Wish me luck, and great success. I have lost almost 45 pounds on it I can do it again. (I would be satisfied wish 30.)

I just want to feel better, and have energy. I CAN do this and I WILL do this.
