All Kinds of Good Stuff

We have had all kinds of good stuff happen lately. Also some not so good stuff, as with all things there is always opposition. As some of you know Jon was baptised on March 21st, and confirmed on the 22nd. This was an awesome day for our family. He has received the Aaronic Priesthood, and got his first calling and the Assistant Scout Master to the 11 year old group. This should be fun since Jon has never really been camping all that much.

The girls are getting so big Anjolie turned 8 years old. We are trying to figure out when she can be baptised as she is with her dad on all the child of record baptism days. So we'll see about that one.

Matt, Jen, Connor, and Jeremy came for a visit. We had a great time. It was so nice to see them and be able to hang out. The kids had a blast together. We celebrated Connor's 3rd birthday while they were here.

Jon and I got to go to an Angel's game with Heather and Michael against the Tigers. GREAT SEATS! We sat first row behind the visitor's dugout. Lots of funny stuff you see sitting down so low. It was awesome, we had a really good time.

Since it is getting warmer we have taken the girls swimming a few times. Rhianna is a crack up, she has no fear. She thinks she cam swim so will walk off the steps and put her arms out like she is gonna swim and if I am holding her she tries to pry my arms off her so she can take off. Bella is a princess and likes to be walked around the pool. Hahaha!

My mom got a call last night from some friends of ours saying they got tickets to see Dancing With The Stars taping on Monday and would we like to come. This is one of my mom's favorite shows, so it will be really fun to go.

With all this good stuff we did also have our new puppy attack our little dog Sushi. We had to give back the new puppy, she has found a new home though. Sushi is now fine 2 surgeries and about $1000 later. We also had two tires blow, our stove selectively work for a bit, and our dishwasher leak everywhere. Lots of fun stuff.

Still, we are very happy and feel very blessed. I'll post some new pictures next time. The girls are so much bigger than the last posted pictures.

Carr Fam Update

So I know I am so bad about keeping this up and haven't done it for awhile so here it is in a nutshell. Thanksgiving was great I made dinner for my parents and my family. Christmas/my birthday was the best one ever. It was so much fun! The girls got great gifts and loved all of them and were grateful for everything. The best gift according to the two oldest was the Nintendo Wii. They were so shocked. The two little ones got dolls they loved. Everyone got a ton of cute clothes and some other fun stuff. Jon and I got Cassidy and Anjolie a new puppy. Her name is Hope and she is a black lab/terrier mix, and got the little ones a big girl swing set. Kyle came down the 2nd week of Christmas break and we very much enjoyed seeing him. January we headed to Chandler, AZ for a long weekend to see my brother in law and sister in law and their boys, Nicholas who turned 2 and Jackson who was born in November (too cute!). We also got to see Jon's parents who recently moved to Chandler and their new house. It was a really nice visit. On the way to Chandler we even hit Buckeye to see my Uncle Art and Aunt Dawn. We are now back to the same ol' same ol' of school/work/day to day normal stuff. But we are getting ready to head to Utah the end of Feb. for Matt and Jen's new little guy's blessing. Jeremy was born in December and because of the snow they waited to have him blessed so more of us could come up. My Mom does not drive in snow. I am really excited to see my brother and sister-in-law and spend time with their boys Connor and Jeremy. Bella is ready too! She keeps telling me Connor has a lot of toys for her to play with.

So that's pretty much up to date. Jon's company did confirm that by June of 2010 they will be completely out of California so he did get warning if he does not want to move with the company to Oklahoma City, OK (NO WAY!!!) that he will loose his job sometime between Nov. 15 2009 and Jun 2010. Needless to say we are not going. But they will give him 60 days notice so he can look for a new job and he will get a very nice severance package, on the bright side. Here are a few new pics, I'll post more later. I still have to download a bunch.

Kyle took this picture of Bella and Rhianna at English Springs Park. Isn't it cute!
