Karson's 5!

It's hard to believe that Karson is 5. Short, but 5!! It seems like just yesterday he was this little baby! He really is a good kid- always willing to help, and always wanting to learn new things. Unlike when he was a baby (the Clemens' scowl has lightened up quite a bit), he's always smiling and makes everyone smile around him. We love the little songs that he makes up, and people love to hear him to talks in church just so they can hear him talk. We love you buddy!

We had the Wests and the Toones come over for some cake and ice cream.

Yep- I ALWAYS have to have a picture of Lincoln after the birthday cake!

Musical chairs was a BLAST! A little scary at times, but they've asked my every day since if they could play.

Here was my attempt at a Star Wars cake. I thought it worked out pretty good- and it took me like 3 seconds to decorate! Oreo's are the BEST!!

Here's some musical chairs with Karson in the finals.

10 Years! Can you believe it??

So last Friday Kregg and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary, or if you go by our marriage license, it was last Wednesday. Well at any rate- we have had 10 wonderful years of married life together. I really cannot imagine my life without Kregg. We have the same goals, the same dreams, and he really brings out the best in me. He is a WONDERFUL father and his family is his top priority. He works all day, then comes home and manages to play with the kids and treat me like a queen at the same time (and he really does treat me like a queen). He even manages to make me laugh every once in a while. I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve such a great life with such a great great guy, but I'll take it!

I'll catch up... someday...

So slowly but surely I'll get back on track... please forgive me everyone!! Soon I'll post our quote of the week and my trip to Salt Lake. Oh- and maybe I'll change my background out of Christmas. My New Years resolution is to destress... so I guess that's what I'm doing! Although- my blog is a major destresser for me, so it doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Rambling...

Yep I have Christmas Pictures...

We had a nice laid back Christmas. We stayed in our pj's all day, opened presents, played games, and watched movies. I usually like the craziness of seeing family, but it was kinda nice just to relax. Karson gave us that ornament for Christmas. Hilarious.

Karson got this from his Sunbeam teacher- he was SO excited! So I had to get him a carrier and everything. He pretty much takes it everywhere with him.

This is how Mary takes pictures.

I love Mamma Mia! Although Mary (of course) has completely taken it over. She breaks out her microphone she got from Uncle Kendall and belts it out to all the songs. I wonder where she gets that from?? Kregg...

Lucy had a great time. Karson was so excited to help her with her stocking and all of her presents.

This was one of Marys 7 costume changes of the day....

It was nice for the hubby to take over the picture-taking responsibilities, so of course I didn't get a picture of him. His present (yep-of course) showed up the day AFTER Christmas (oh well!). I got him a doorbell that plays the Nebraska fight song.

Aw MAN!!!

So I'm having some technical difficulties, so I probably won't be able to get the quote up tonight. I'll get it up as soon as I can! Plus Sunday nights are more crazy for us nowadays, so we'll most likely have to change days. Anyway- we really like doing it, and have a "plethera" more quotes we are excited to do. So please don't hate us!! :)
