Labor Day Weekend

I have been a little slow with putting up more posts. Over Labor Day weekend, we went camping with Chris' side of the family. His mom's family has a huge family reunion each year on Labor Day weekend. And when I say huge, I mean HUGE. Picture a huge meadow with trailers and tents parked around the whole thing. It is such a fun reunion. They always have a huge horseshoe tournament which is always so much fun to play in. There is a raffle for the kids and adults, yummy food, games, fishing and so much more.

I didn't get very many pictures but this one is super cute. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had a baby boy 1 week after Carson was born. I loved how both of their eyes were opened. This is a picture of Chris mom with her 4 grand kids.


After a fun weekend, my family and I went to my parents home. Chris loves trail cams and so we went up the mountains to check the trail cam pictures. I took some pictures along the way.

Kelli, the Big Sister

First I have to ask, "Where's Carson?" Kelli loves taking care of her little brother. I put Carson on the floor while I got ready for the day. Kelli entertained him the whole time while she carefully placed all her stuffed animals around him. I just died laughing. I thought this was pretty cute.

2 Weeks

I have been trying to update my blog for the past 3 days and I keep having trouble with the internet. It makes me really upset. Carson turned 2 weeks old on Sunday. I can't believe it. He is growing like a weed because he is an eating machine. I took him to his 2 week appointment yesterday and he is now 8 lbs. He was 7 lbs 5 oz when he was born. I'm glad he is growing because I know he is healthy, but is makes me sad at the same time. I love the newborn stage. Carson is such a cuddler. I could just sit and hold him all day if it was possible. Here are some pictures I took throughout the past 2 weeks.


I just love this picture of him. Chris actually got him to smile, but of course I missed the shot.


Kelli loves her little brother. She is so good with him.



My grandma came to visit. It was wonderful to see her. She is my last grandparent on my side of the family.


Here are some other pictures I took of Carson.

Welcome Carson Todd Judd

Over the weekend, our son came into the world. He was born Sunday morning August 1st at 2:22 am. He weighed 7 lbs, 5 oz and 21 in long. Everything went well and Carson is doing very well. We are so excited and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives.

Update

I haven't really had a whole lot to post lately. I am 39 weeks pregnant and wishing that this little guy would get here. Everything is going well. Some days I feel like sleeping the whole day while other days I feel like going for a run. Sometimes I actually do run, hoping that it will speed up the process of him getting here. Of course I don't run far because it's quite uncomfortable, but the feeling of running is great. On Thursday, I felt like I had a ton of energy. After teaching yoga in the morning and shopping at the grocery store, Kelli and I washed our car and cleaned it out. We spent several hours cleaning the car. Kelli enjoyed spraying off the car while I soaped it off or spraying me as well. We scrubbed the dirty floor mats and got everything on the inside nice and clean. I just love having a clean car and Kelli does an amazing job helping me clean.


Kelli is a blast. I love the age she is at. She can spend hours playing with her toys. She has such an imagination. Lately she has been obsessed with telling me stories of when she was a little girl. It makes me laugh. She'll say to me, "Mom, when I was a little girl.....this and this happened." She'll go off on some big story and spend several minutes talking about it.

Well, Happy 24th of July to everyone! I love that I can live in Utah and celebrate this holiday. Utah is beautiful and I am very grateful that the pioneers came here and established a wonderful place to live.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Over the weekend, we celebrated Chris' birthday. He turned 27! For his birthday cake, he wanted me to make peach cobbler. It is amazing peach cobbler. It tastes so good. Friday was his birthday, so we went out to eat that night. Unfortunately we spent a lot of our time over the weekend preparing talks because we got asked to speak in church on Sunday. But it was still a great weekend. I just love celebrating birthdays.

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July weekend was a lot of fun. I got to see my whole family. It was great! Everyone gathered in the wonderful town of Gunnison for a weekend of festivities. On the 3rd, we went to the parade. All the cousins had a blast gathering as much candy as they could, waving at the people on the floats trying to persuade them for more candy, and loving the pageant girls dressed up like princesses.


Then they enjoyed the carnival and especially the train ride.


After the carnival and parade, we all went to Yuba for an afternoon of boating and hanging out on the beach.

Thanks everyone for such a fun weekend. It was great to see all of you.
