It has been FOREVER since I posted. I have given up on blogging. I occasionally use facebook, and I do like Instagram. But neither of them allow me to journal or write anything about my life of my kids lives. The last thing I really wrote about was Avery's baptism, and Liam turning SIX. both of which were two years ago. When I think of all of the funny stories that I've neglected to write down I get very sad. They have changed so much. They have grown so much. I am never going to be less busy. I am never going to have more time. I am never going to have these moments and these stories again! So, I better make every moment of it count! Kids love nothing more than seeing pictures of themselves and hearing stories of what they were like when they were little. It's something I can give to them. </div>

Avery just finished 4th grade. She is a sweet, smart, beautiful, talented girl. She is learning to play piano. She is an amazing big sister. I listened to her reading bedtime stories to Emrie tonight. That is actually what prompted me to start writing a blog again. I was tearing up listening to them and thought how sad it would be to forget this moment. </div>

Liam just finished 2nd grade. He is a very smart boy. He has an amazing math brain. He picks up on things so quickly. He is almost eight and is excited to get baptized. He loves to tell a good joke and is a great big brother to Emrie. He has the most amazing blue eyes, but doesn't like it when I tell him that they are pretty!</div>

Emrie is four and a half going on 16. She already wants to be a cheerleader. She loves her baby dolls, and loves playing pet shops with Avery. She loves to sing, and actually can carry a tune. She loves to read stories. If you read her one, she will retell it to you in the sweetest voice. She loves primary, and especially the singing time. </div>

He always has been. He was a very easy going baby, he'd play by himself, sit in his swing for hours, and he's still that easy. He turned six on July 28th. His idea of a perfect party was having his buddies over to play wii. That's all he wanted. We made some cupcakes and had his friends come and bring their favorite games. Easiest party ever, and he was super happy. </div><br />

He is so fun and happy (most of the time). He is in first grade, and so smart I'm not sure what to do with him. He loves reading and going to primary. He's recently discovered that he even likes singing the primary songs (don't tell anyone). He is a great big brother to Emrie. He sometimes wishes he had a brother, but I think he secretly likes being the only boy. If Cody is ever out of town, he takes on the role as man of the house and takes it very seriously!</div>Candihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01402447850631549446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643400962765394870.post-62821590139626700482012-01-25T09:06:00.000-07:002012-01-25T09:06:40.370-07:00Avery's Baptism<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAHe7JKx6TdtWNbcPQp3tMPprQSY2jetqf-xWPYSb3bFVkfm-q3Swiqd_KHvkAXGDQbQlMtObRwX8BlB1fGTJiU6j22KUrNC-SWwfe8zKkPOVDqtUcNumo2CLK8MElVf8bacOJrcOKwaQ/s1600/DSC04103.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAHe7JKx6TdtWNbcPQp3tMPprQSY2jetqf-xWPYSb3bFVkfm-q3Swiqd_KHvkAXGDQbQlMtObRwX8BlB1fGTJiU6j22KUrNC-SWwfe8zKkPOVDqtUcNumo2CLK8MElVf8bacOJrcOKwaQ/s400/DSC04103.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a sweet day we had when Avery got baptized. This picture was taken right after. The day was such a busy blur, that somehow I didn't even get a picture of her and Cody in their white clothes before the baptism. I've thought about going to the church on someone elses day and borrowing the clothes just for a picture, but I never have! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a day I'll never forget, and I know she won't either. We had so many people come support her. She says she felt very loved and very warm that day. We had a lovely lunch in our back yard (which I'm sure someone took pictures of!). It was a lovely day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She is such a sweet girl. So loving and kind and close to the spirit. She always wants to make people happy and do the right things. She tries hard at everything she does. She truly is a beautiful person, inside and out. She is a great example to those around her, especially me! </div><br />

A perfect namesake for our girl</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She is ALWAYS concerned about other people, and their feelings. She gets really stressed when she hurts someones feelings, even if it's on accident. </span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is an amazing big sister. She has so much patience, even with her pesky little sister who is always in her stuff.</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She <em>always</em> tries to do what is right, and is almost always completely obedient</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is a deep thinker, she asks so many <em>intelligent </em>questions everyday</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is a great student, and loves school</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She loves to read</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She's a great artist, and storyteller</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She loves to sing, and would love to be on American Idol one day</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She says the sweetest, most thoughtful prayers</span></div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is so excited to get baptized</span></div></li>

This is Avery's third year, she knows all the rules and is getting quite good. She's aggressive when she needs to be, but always a good sport. It was Liam's first time. I think he had fun...but you can tell it's his first time. He's alot smaller than 90% of the kids out there. He isn't aggressive when he needs to be. When his dad had a talk with him about being aggressive and not letting the other team get close to the ball, we caught him elbowing this other kid as they were running down the field. Kinda funny...but so not appropriate! So, we had to have another talk...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I cannot believe it is almost Halloween. This school year has absolutely flown by. It's already time for Parent/Teacher conferences. No new pics right now, but thought it was time for a little update. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Avery:</u></strong> Doing great in school. I seriously don't have to worry about her. She never complains about homework, or getting up in the morning. She's very independent, and helpful. She <em>was </em>playing soccer, that is until she fell off my moms trampoline and broke her collarbone earlier this month. So, no more soccer for her. Now she's the official cheerleader of her team. Sling on for a few more weeks and she should be back to normal. We are really excited that we found her a piano teacher, so she can start as soon as sling is off!!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Liam:</u></strong> Going strong in Kindergarten. I swear the kid gets smarter and funnier everyday! He is a riot. He is also playing soccer. It is his first year, and I'm not quite sure he gets it.. it's more of a social game for him right now. The joke is that he doesn't touch the ball during the game unless its an accident. But this past Saturday he surprised me. He stopped the ball and turned it around during a game. Pretty good for him! He loves school, and is actually not as hard to wake up as I thought he would be!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Emrie: </u></strong>I think she's finally used to the kids going to school. She really missed them for a while. She's still super excited when they get home. She is talking like crazy these days. She's to the stage where she tells you exactly what she wants, and will repeat just about anything. She loves Dora, and singing nursery songs. She is sweet, and naughty all at the same time! Her birthday is coming up in just a few weeks and that is CRAZY!!<br />
<br />
Small little update on the Carmichael's. No fun without pictures, but I don't want to forget what things are like.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">In June we had a chance to go to the family reunion for my dads side of the family. They have one every year in Moab Utah. We were blessed this year with nice, cool weather. Sometimes its super hot, but it was beautiful this year. It was at this fun park with nice soft grass and tons of huge cottonwood trees. The kids have so much fun seeing cousins that we dont live near. Its always fun to catch up with everyone. There are some interesting characters in that part of the family. Here are a few fun pictures of the kids...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He has always been kind of a mommy's boy. Which I admit, I kind of like. He can be quite moody, but never to me. He always has a sweet smile for me. He still lets me snuggle him..the older he gets the more I wonder how long that will last. It's so hard to watch them grow up. There are so many things I love about this little man...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfcUpioL_nJ4-YTN87zXuIj5PIB1C1hXzklLj-NBSuFe0MpLJK6wViNp6Wc2GinqgC_HAR4R0zDo7Y4xMA_xAEsngJfLeo3GDdR56T34iQTcIwCy76MMIY735StfZYGCp-YgxrmY9kd3hw/s1600/DSC03281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfcUpioL_nJ4-YTN87zXuIj5PIB1C1hXzklLj-NBSuFe0MpLJK6wViNp6Wc2GinqgC_HAR4R0zDo7Y4xMA_xAEsngJfLeo3GDdR56T34iQTcIwCy76MMIY735StfZYGCp-YgxrmY9kd3hw/s320/DSC03281.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">He has a great smile...his eyes crinkle and sparkle when you get a genuine smile. <br />
<br />
He is so smart! He reads himself to sleep almost every night. He has a book he makes me read him all the time. It's so sweet, it's called Mom Says I Can. In the book the boys dad calls him "little buddy" and his mom calls him "snuggle bug"...so he makes me use those nicknames. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He is FUNNY. He always has a joke. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves school and his sweet Kindergarten teacher. <br />
He loves soccer, even though he has yet to touch the ball during a game (not even sure he realizes that!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">He is nice to his sisters...both of them.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He loves puzzles, legos and putting things together.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He's very independent.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Really, he just makes my heart melt....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were in Alaska for his birthday. This is actually the 2nd birthday he's had there (we were there when he turned two). We had been there about a month and were actually getting ready to come home. We were trying to think of things we could do for his big day. At first he wasn't excited to have it there. There are no chuck e cheese's, no friends, not really a way to have a big party. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But his smart daddy came up with the perfect thing. He told Liam he'd start a fire in the day time and that Liam could throw sticks in it all day, and that we could roast marshmallows at night. He was so excited. That darn camp fire was his favorite thing!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He also told us he wanted a surprise party. How do you do a surprise party for a kid who knows it's coming? Well, we did our best. We had his favorite dinner...salmon. I had made a cake earlier in the day and hid it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We were all hanging around the fire and I talked him into going on a walk with me. While we were gone everyone else set up the party...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This was a really cool beach we found. We had a blast looking (not touching) the water. And collecting cool rocks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Whenever we had a sunny day (which wasn't too often!) we would take the kids out and enjoy the sunshine, weather and gorgeous scenery. This park was all wooden, with tons of different sections. Painted with bright, fun colors. All of which would never stand up to the Arizona blistering, sunshiny summers! It was lots of fun!<br />

I always feel so busy during school and can't wait for summer so I don't have so many places to be or obligations. You moms know where I am going with this. Now, I'm ready for school to start! My kids have started bickering and fighting. Mostly because I can't possibly keep them entertained 24/7. My new answer for "I'm bored" is "come here, I'll find you something to clean!" Doesn't work all that well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyway...we are off for a family vacation. One like we have never done before. Cody is taking an entire month off! Which is unheard of. He's always connected to work, even if he isn't there. But we are going so far, he won't be able to be. We're going to Alaska for the whole month of July. Cody's grandparents have a house there. But it's being sold at the end of summer. So this will be our last lazy summer in the fun cabin. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are going to relax, fish, BBQ (which is fun when it's 70 degrees outside, not 170!), read, build forts, play in the forest, go hiking, explore, and do it all together. Should be fun. All of Cody's brothers and families will be there for part of the time. We haven't all been together in a while. Should be interesting! and LOUD! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am trying to figure out how to pack for a month. I've decided, you can't. I'll just pack for a week and and we'll find there anything we forgot. I am NOT looking forward to the long plane trip with all of them. But, hopefully we'll get through that ok. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We'll miss everyone, and it will be time for school to start when we get back!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We will post pictures if we have a good signal. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!</span>Candihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01402447850631549446noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643400962765394870.post-1160509807147598812010-06-10T15:47:00.001-07:002010-06-28T15:58:52.135-07:00no more preschool??<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am having a bit of a hard time believing that Liam will be in Kindergarten next year.
