Beach Bonfire







Cooking hot dogs!

jocie loves uncle Jason. He's helping her with her marshmellow.

Cute Nathan!

NOt sure what Jessica's lips are doing hahaha but Carter just chilling

Jessica was down for a few days. We decided to have a bonfire at the beach. I love the beach. We love the beach. Our kids love the beach. Everything about it. The water, the sand, the bonfires, the smell.
Besides the mis communication about where we were, it was great. (I didn't realize there were 2 tower number 13). We had hot dogs, smores and the kids had a great time playing together. We even flew a kite.

10 months

I'm a little behind. My camera is broken and my sister has gotten me on to Mixbook. I couldn't decide if I should still blog but decided to keep it going especially so family out of state can see what we are up to. Carter is 10 months, okay almost 11 on the 30th of June. Every month he does something new and just growing so much. He understands a lot more. He signs eat, more, milk and waves bye, blows kisses, tries brushing his hair with a brush, and talks on the phone. I love this little man of mine. At 9 1/2 months he started sleeping through the night. I feed him all day long. He stopped eating baby food but is an awesome eater. Carrots, cauliflower, brocolli, all fruit, chicken, fish, potatoes rice. He'll eat anything. Usually for breakfast I give him oatmeal or banana and yogurt, lunch sandwich and dinner some kind of meat with vegetables. He crawls up the stairs now and stands up on everything. He knows the word No but thinks it's funny. He loves to play. There are days he still wake up once in the night. I'm still nursing, morning and night and sometimes once in the day. He loves to go on walks. He sleeps with a blanket and knows Jocie! They play so cute together. He has been taking toys from her lately. James and I have always treated him like he wcould understand what we are saying. For example, he's take a toy away from Jocelynn and we would say "No Carter we don't do that, we need to share." We do this mainly for Jocelynn and we tell her that he is learning so maybe you can give him a different toy to play with. He is a happy boy, when he is fed and sleeps well. He has separation anxiety but recently has been better if someone holds him. I love this time in my life! He loves it when kids are around.

Visit with Grandma Gloria


She was showing Jocelynn and Tyler how to draw trees!


Carter kept staring at her. We told Jocelynn about her hugs before we got there. She gives great hugs and loves to hug. Jocelynn quickly warmed up to her. Every child does. She is so good with kids, probably because she has been around them and have taken care of kids her whole life. She had 7 kids, 2 of them has passed away and she has had a daycare for over 30 years.



The beginning of the year my Grandma found out she had cancer, Stage 4. When my Dad told me it was hard to hear. It spread everywhere. I just don't want her to be in pain. Grandma has had a daycare called Grandma's Place for over 30 years. She is an amazing woman! So positive happy and full of life! She is going through her second stage of cancer and the Dr said it has shrunk. Which is great news! We stopped by to see her in Logan. I love my Grandma!

Micah's Baptism


Well alot has happened since my last blog. Carter pulled my camera off the table and it broke. i've been without a camera. My sister took these pictures while we were in Wyoming for me though. Thanks Jess! Here's Micah, before he was baptized! He is such a sweet special boy! We are so proud of his decision to be baptized! Carter and Jocelynn and I drove with my Dad on a Thursday! We stopped in Cedar City and stayed in a hotel for the night. James was unable to come because he started a new job a month ago. It was fun staying in a hotel with the kids and my dad. The next day we drove to my little sister's place and then to Grandma Gloria's house .It was a long day, after visiting with her we drove to Wyoming.

My sister with her 5 children

The Kirk side of the family there for the baptism!

Micah is such a good example to jocelynn and Carter

That evening we had a BBQ and made smores outside. The weather was beautiful. That evening we went out for a run! My parents had to drive back Sunday but we were able to stay until Wednesday and drive back with my little sister! We had such a great time, it was hard to leave!



Yummy smores!
