Utah trip

Vacations, , , , ,

A little bit ago Josh, Carson, and I went to Provo for a visit. It was a short trip: Josh was just going to recruit promising BYU students to work for his company, and Carson and I tagged along. Josh stayed pretty busy for most of it, but we had a little bit of time to spend together as a family. And while Josh was busy collecting resumes and giving info sessions, Carson and I stayed busy and had fun, too: ice cream at the Creamery, walking around BYU, the bookstore…all the great BYU stops. And the best part of course was seeing all our family in Provo: Caleb, Sam, Audrey, Brenn, we loved loved loved seeing you again and miss you guys like crazy! And as a special treat, my Dad was also in Provo! Small world, huh? The last night we were there, we all (including Caleb and Sam, but minus Josh, who had recruiting events) went out to eat to celebrate Audrey’s birthday. So much fun!

A quick note about pictures: I’m realizing lately that we’re pretty bad nowadays about taking pictures of anything (including ourselves) besides Carson. But can you blame me? So…enjoy pictures of mostly Carson! I’m going to try to be more inclusive of other people in our photos, too…

Family vacation up to the mountains

Vacations, ,

During the late summer, the three of us took a family vacation, just us, up to the mountains. It was low key and easy, but really just perfect. It was great to get away as a family, spend time together, eat out at a few restaurants, see some pretty scenery, and walk around and play. Carson loved it, for sure, and he did great. It was a great getaway for all of us. Here’s our pictures, just a big bunch of them. Enjoy!

Visit from the Ellsworth family and a trip to Utah

Just Life, Vacations, , , , , ,

A few weeks ago my (Paige’s) family came to Colorado to visit. A few days after they left, Josh, Carson, and I headed to Utah to celebrate my cousin Hillary’s wedding. It was great to see the Ellsworths in Denver and show them our house, and we had fun in Utah, too. It was awesome seeing so many of my cousins that I haven’t seen in forever. It was a crazy busy weekend, but we had a lot of fun. (Many thanks to my mom for all of the good pictures that you see.)

 

A few pictures from our trip to Texas

Vacations, , , ,

In this post I talked about our trip to Texas, when Josh went to Dallas for two weeks to train for his new job and Carson and I went to Houston to stay with my family. It was a great trip (and the best part was the weekend when Josh and I got to be together), and I just wanted to post these few pictures.

My mom got this baby pool before we came, and Carson really liked swimming in it. We probably swam almost every day we were there. Carson does like the water.

Carson liked swinging in this baby swing in the backyard, too.

And just some general Carson cuteness.

Remember I talked about how we went to the beach? This is his post-beach hair. :) 

And finally, a precious mother/son moment. Cuddly moments like this with Carson are rare, and they usually don’t last more than about 15 seconds. But it’s sure nice when he does cuddle for a bit. :)
