The Eshelman Family

Happy 5th Anniversary

2010-10-28T10:13:00.000-07:00

Since Taylor and I sadly didn't get any wedding photos, our kind friend, Juliana, took some 5 year Anniversary pictures for us at the temple we were married in. :) Thank you, Juliana!!!

Celebrating Carson's Birthday with Papa Ray Beckstrom

2010-10-11T15:51:00.001-07:00

June 6th, 2010 Birthday Girl

2010-07-25T15:27:00.000-07:00

Bree was especially spoiled this birthday. Grandpa Ray Beckstrom bought her rollerblades and a helmet. Grandma LaRene and Papa Bob bought her a new bike (Ocean themed). : ) Grandma Amy and Papa Ray bought Bree a Cinderella Barbie doll and blue horse. And mommy and daddy spoiled her by taking her to the Aquarium up in Sandy. Daddy and Mommy made her a blue sting ray cake. (If anyone doesn’t know, Bree has an unbelievable attraction to blue.) We also bought her several outdoor water toys, including a small pool that has a slide, basketball hoop and ring toss. We also bought her a sprinkler that is a beachball with holes cut in it, making it much more fun to kick around and get wet with delight. Also, bree has a new obsession…roly polys, pill bugs, potato bugs, all of which are the same. We checked out a few books at the library to learn more about them. Apparently, they’re not insects. They are in the same family as crabs and shrimp. Hmmm, which fits the theme for her birthday, blue and ocean/water theme. So we bought her a bug observatory house. And did you know, roly polys DO eat rocks and concrete. ‘Tis true. I thought Carson was the only one that ate rocks. (Just kidding. I’ve only caught him once with a pebble in his mouth.)

Oh, and I can’t forget, the Helts bought Bree a Zu Zu Pet. We also did. Two is better than one…right?! As long as she doesn’t get her hair wound up in the wheels again.

The birthday week was a success. Poor Bree had to wait until Friday to celebrate her birthday; Both Taylor and I had to work on her birthday. So Wed. I let her open one gift, the Zu Zu pet. And then Friday Taylor took off work and we all went to the aquarium and we had a family party that night.

Bree is an amazing, bright little girl, full of spunk at times, but mostly of splendid sweetness. I’m blessed to have this little girl in our home. It wouldn’t be the same without her. Here are a few pictures of the festivities:

Look at that cute, genuine smile. It's hard to capture one of those from Bree with the camera. :)

This is the one present Bree got to open on her actual birthday. She was really excited to finally open it. Her, Carson and I bought it a few weeks prior.

Bree loves to hold Hedgie McPricklesworth, so I let her hold him on her birthday, too.

Here's the finished Sting Ray cake Taylor and I made. It took us about 4 hours to make and decorate. Finished project ended at 1:30 a.m..

I was explaining to Taylor's mom what this little fish was, just before we ate it. After explaining what this feeder fish does (eats the parasites and ick off the sting ray, giving the sting ray a bath), I realized this cake didn't look very appetizing anymore. Ha, but it was still delicious. :)

Bree "opening" her birthday gift at Grandma and Grandpa Jensens' work.

Bree thanking grandma for the fun present. I really like this picture of the two of them. :0)

Had to add in this adorable picture of Carson. I love his Turpin eyes.

Bree giddy about her new bike.

Bree didn't want daddy to let go. I like this picture a lot. It's fun to see Daddys interact with their kids.

After going to Grandma and Grandpa's work, we took grandma with us to the Aquarium in Sandy. Grandpa had to stay at work for a meeting, but he came after we left and went through the aquarium with grandma. He also bought Carson a cool blue frog light, which Carson and Bree still play with and love.

The sting rays were BreeAnna's and mommy's favorite part of the aquarium. :) They're very smooth and soft. If you've never pet a sting ray, you're missing out!

A better picture of the sting ray.

Carson was quite excited about the experience too. He's sitting on my shoulders, pointing at who knows what, but it must have been pretty neat because just about everything there was. :)

Carson's frog light was made to look like these pretty blue frogs.

Since Bree's favorite color is blue, she really liked these.

Little river sting rays. I really like the oreo looking ones.

I think this fish was trying to give Bree a birthday kiss.

Speaking of kisses, today Bree and I watched a stargate together, episode Right of Passage. For the Stargate fans out there, this is the one where Cassandra gets a kiss from her boyfriend on her birthday, the porch light explodes and then Cassandra falls to the ground. Anyway, Bree asked, "Why did he do that?" I asked, "What?" Bree: "Kiss her?" I told her that's what boys and girls do when they like each other. I caught that look in her eye, which I interpreted as her thinking, "Oh, I have a few boys I like. Do I kiss them?" Then I said, "But you have to wait until you're older...much older." She laughed and in her (oh duh, right, how could I be so silly laugh) said, "Right mommy, like when I'm married when I turn 8 I can kiss my husband on the lips.)

The creepy anaconda. (Shivers)

These penguins were beautiful, not like the ones at the Hogle Zoo.

Fascinating creatures these Foureyed Fish. Check out the description in the picture below:

Cool eel aquarium that looked into the captain's room. The captains cabin had a picnic table sprinkled with several puzzles. It was nearly impossible to finish a puzzle because there were at least five puzzles, all of which the puzzle pieces were mixed together. Yet, it was still fun to tinker around for a while.

Bree and Carson playing around in the fake coral. There were other model ocean creatures hiding in this fun corner at the aquarium, which included nooks for kids to crawl around and have fun in.

Carson and I looking around the same area.

Bree and I "arguing" over the eel tank. She was insistent the eels were snakes. I tried to explain, but she just wasn't "buying it". :)

Here's the puzzle area.

My mom and I tried to put together one of the puzzles, but Bree kept asking for our puzzle pieces. She was making her own creation.

And here it is. :) It's just as pretty as putting it together the way the original creater intended. :)

I love Bree's crazy smile.

This was the petting area. They had signs everywhere saying, "Two finger touch only". You can see both of Bree's hands using this technique. :0)

Some of the creatures I didn't even want to touch and I don't mind touching most things.

This is near the bullfrog arena. It took us quite a while, 10 minutes or more, to find the real bullfrog. They have a swamp habitat for it. It was neat because it wasn't really enclosed. There were wooden railings keeping us out of it, but the bullfrog wasn't enclosed in glass like everything else (except the sting rays and petting area). The bullfrog was camouflaged and hiding under swamp plants that were floating on top of the water. I didn't add a picture of it since I already have too many pictures posted.

Bree practicing her boat driving skills, preparing to drive Grandpa Ray Beckstrom's boat later this summer. Hopefully she'll be able to see over ITS dashboard. ;)

I'd have to say the jelly fish were my favorite attraction, then the sting rays. This picture doesn't do justice. They were amazing. I'd go to the aquarium again just to see these awesome creatures. There movements were smooth and their colors beautiful. They had a few different subspecies which looked quite different from one another. The lighting was bad in this room so the pictures didn't turn out well. Oh, well, you'll just have to go see them for yourself. :)

The birthday party. :) Yeay Bree! I think these candles are cheap. If you turn 4, you should blow out 4 candles, but we didn't want to ruin the sting ray creation. Hm, which is silly because 10 seconds later we cut into it. Bree, I hope you didn't wish for a pet sting ray 'cause you're not getting one. Ha! She did get a blue horse to go with her Cinderella Barbie doll though, so I guess she can't say she never got a Pony growing up. ;)

Kayden (toddler in the front) was soooo funny. He was more excited about the presents than Bree was. He was very energetic and distracted. He'd pick up one of the presents or the wrapping paper, fling it around a bit, get distracted with another and grab it and so on. He kept falling down all over the place, not watching where he was going and he was getting into EVERYTHING. He was quite entertaining and had us in stitches most of the time. :)

The remaining loot.

Yeay, another creative sprinkler (Beach ball with wholes in it to throw and kick around). So much better than a boring ole' sprinkler. The unwrapped present is her swimming pool. She's crazy about it and everyday after this she's wanted to wear her swimming suit daily. I let her wear it most days. Good thing she has two, so I can be washing one while she wears the other.

Happy 4th birthday, Bree! We love you!

Celebrating BreeAnna's Birthday with Papa Ray Beckstrom

2010-06-08T14:33:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, June 5th 2010, BreeAnna and I, her mommy, got to spend the weekend with Papa Ray Beckstrom for an early BreeAnna birthday celebration. When we were driving up to his house (2 hours away), we called him on the cell phone. It was entertaining listening to Bree talk to her Papa. Every 20 seconds or so she'd say his name, "Papa Ray Beckstrom". I honestly think she just loves to say the name. "Papa Ray Beckstrom. Papa Ray Beckstrom. Papa Ray Beckstrom". That is kinda fun to say. : ) And I must say she sure loves him. Here are a few snapshots of the trip, although we didn't get a picture of them on the four-wheeler together. I got those pics with the cell phone, however.

Bree signing how old she's turning.

Papa Ray Beckstrom took her shopping for her birthday and bought her a helmet and Rollerblades! Wahoo! BreeAnna is crazy about roller blading ever since we took her to Classic Skating last summer. There was a free family night for the members of the Orem Library Reading Program. I'm kinda excited cause I love to roller blade myself. Now I've got someone to go with. She also loves to rock climb. I'm totally looking forwarded to rock climbing with Bree. I just hope I'm not an old fogy by the time she's able to go with me.

April Fools Day Cake

2010-04-03T23:17:00.001-07:00

We've been sick over the past few days, lethargic and have hacky coughs, but that didn't thwart our April Fool's Day fun. For dinner we made an April Fool's Day cake. It sure was tasty. The filling is a chicken and rice casserole. The topping is food colored mashed potatoes. Bree, Taylor and I decorated the top. Sorry the pictures are all out of order. For some reason this silly program won't let me rearrange them tonight. Oh well.The next picture is of Carson. The poor little guy got so confused. He kept pointing and saying "cookie" because he doesn't know how to say cake. Taylor gave him a piece and he spit it out, then pointed to Bree's plate and said, "Cookie." We gave him some of hers and he spit it out. He continued this until he tried all of ours. After dinner we walked past the "cake" and he pointed and said "cookie" and then pulled his arm back and made a discusted look. Here's part of the look. :)

March Fun

2010-03-23T19:44:00.000-07:00

BreeAnna and Carson helping me rake the yard. :) They were actually great little helpers.

BreeAnna couldn't find a butterfly so she asked if Carson could be her butterfly. :)

We got to stay over in Midway with my mom and dad in a condo. 'Tis crazy, but fun.

We just got this little guy Friday the 19th of March. He's such a cute little guy and the newest addition to our family. :) We named him Hedgebert McPricklesworth, "Hedgie" for short. Look at that face.

My mom's birthday cake- March 5th

2010-03-05T21:37:00.000-08:00

Grandma LaRene's Birthday Party-March 5th

This is my first attempt at a 3-D cake. I got the idea from the March 2010 Family Fun Magazine. Now that I succeeded in actually making a cake pretty and edible, I can't wait to design my own cakes. :) I made this cake for my mom's birthday party. Here are some shots of my helpers and the party:

Helper # 1 (Carson). I don't have a picture of my #2 helper (BreeAnna)

Helper #3 My Bob Dad :)

Scrapbooking Pages

2009-12-22T22:49:00.000-08:00

This is BreeAnna's friend that we used to babysit regularly, infact, she named her new favorite stuffed animal after her, Skylee.
I worked on these scrapbook pages a few months ago. Everytime Skylee comes over, we spotlight a new letter and learn about things that start with that letter. This day we spotlighted the letter "P". I'm trying to make them an ABC quiet book using these scrapbook pages.

December 1st. Carson's First Real Steps!

2009-12-04T19:17:00.000-08:00

This is one of my pre-Christmas presents. My baby is learning to walk. Here are Carson's first real steps. We had really good timing getting the camera and capturing his toddling. Check out his hip action!

Rookie Digi Scrapbooker

2009-09-14T20:53:00.001-07:00

I'm a rookie digi scrapbooker. It's all my sister-in-law's fault. ;) However, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I've been trying to post a couple of my finished pages, but it's not working right now. I'll try again soon.

May 2009 Portraits with Faith's Mom

2009-08-28T10:09:00.001-07:00

These are some fun family photos that we got taken with my mom back in May. I've tried to upload these pictures several times, but blogspot was having issues. To get them up this time it took me over 10 tries also. How aggravating. Anyway, I noticed that I don't have pictures of my mom up on my blog yet. How sad. I want her to know we love her just as much as everyone else. Here's my beautiful mom!

Strike 3, you're out!

2009-08-26T14:41:00.000-07:00

Okay, so after my last game round of trying to get family pictures loaded up on my blog, I'm gearing up for another try. Wish me luck. If this works, these are some of our family pictures (including Grandma Amy, Taylor's mom) from August 22, 2009 at Portrait Innovations.

The Garden of Eden Continued.

2009-07-15T20:40:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the pictures don't seem to want to transfer over. I'll try a completely new post to see if it'll work this time.

Visit in The Garden of Eden

2009-07-10T18:28:00.000-07:00

Hello all! This June we went to my dad's. He lives in Eden and I'm sure that it's pretty close to what the Garden of Eden looked like. :) It's absolutely beautiful up there. Here are some fun pictures from our visit.

Grandma's backyard

2009-05-23T21:09:00.000-07:00

Bree getting ready to swing Bree-style.

Don't ask. (This is definitely shows Bree's personality) ;)

These are the adventures of grandma's backyard. I had to study for my pathophysiology final, so we asked Grandma Amy if the kids could play in the backyard while I studied. Here are some of the pictures we took. (The order of the pictures and text is off. Sorry. I couldn't get this program to move things around like I wanted.)

Bree took this photo, too. Pretty good for a two year old.

Bree tickling Carson's face.

Our lovable BreeAnna.

Our sweet little boy, Carson Rex.

BreeAnna tickling Carson's face.

BreeAnna requested I take a picture of her on Grandma's hill.

Our pretty little girl smelling pretty little flowers.

We have a natural photographer in the family. BreeAnna took a picture of this all by herself (no help from mommy, except for turning the camera on). I told her to take a picture of one of the purple flowers. It took her a good 30 seconds for her to position the camera just right. She'd move it around until she had a purple flower in view. She took just one picture. I think she did beautifully.

2009-05-01T08:49:00.000-07:00

Thank you Grandma Eshelman for the fun presents! Here are a couple of videos of the kids opening their gifts. We love you!

Alpha Hex

2009-04-18T20:24:00.001-07:00

Taylor has created a "beta" version of the game he's been working on as a side project. He's trying to get the word out to get feedback and see what sort of interest there is out there for a new tactical card game as a commercial product. Here's the post over on his blog with a PDF file that he put together for people to test the game out:

Please check it out and let us know what you think!

Our BreeAnna

2009-04-18T00:06:00.000-07:00

Here's my first go around (with my sister-in-law's help) doing photoshop scrapbooking. :) I'm hooked!

2009-03-19T00:30:00.000-07:00

This is another fun little picture of one of Carson's toys. Aunt Sharon (Taylor's aunt) gave this little bulldozer over the weekend as an early Easter present. Carson loves it, too. He kept bumping up and down with his toy. I couldn't get a good video of it, but you can get the gist here. :) Thanks again for the toy aunt Sharon.

Talented Tongue

2009-03-19T00:11:00.000-07:00

Carson's found a new trick. He reminds me of a baby giraffe. :)
Listen to what Taylor says near the end of the video clip and Carson's response.

Christmas Toy

2009-03-18T23:31:00.000-07:00

This kid absolutely loves the Christmas present Grandma Amy and Papa Ray gave him. He goes all out excited. I'll add a video clip here, too. I'd never seen him get so excited about a toy until I brought this one out. :)

Cupboard kids

2009-03-18T23:27:00.001-07:00

I just thought this was a fun little picture of the kids. My mom gave us an entertainment center and Bree fell in love with it. She'd probably sleep in it if we let her.

Noodle Breakfast

2009-03-12T10:39:00.000-07:00

BreeAnna was eating noodles in the kitchen for breakfast (I know I know. We're weird) all by her lonesome. She had a noodle on her fork, ready to put in her mouth when Taylor walked in and startled her. The noodle fell off the fork. She looked down at the noodle, paused, and said, "Oh, blast."

Here's a post picture of her enjoying her noodley breakfast.

Drunken Sailor

2009-02-24T23:59:00.001-08:00

Bree has been walking around the house singing "Drunken Sailor". I figured for morale, I should learn a different song on the guitar to get her hooked on... so "On Top of Spaghetti" it is. I figured when she broke out her dance moves, this was a hit. And it's definitely her new favorite. When she starts singing about her lost meatball, you'll know what she's talking about. ;)

Bree playing the "Pee-Tar" as she pronounces it.

Wicker basket rocking chair

2009-02-18T07:50:00.001-08:00

I love this video clip of BreeAnna. While I was folding laundry, I heard BreeAnna say, "Mommy, take a picture." I turned around and this is what I saw:

2009-02-15T19:55:00.001-08:00

Since we're on the theme of guitar, here's a couple of fun videos of BreeAnna dancing and Taylor's siblings playing guitar and singing.

I'm a head case...I mean I'm in a case.

2009-02-15T19:13:00.000-08:00

We sure have a lot of catching up to do. I've been terribly busy with school and have taken up guitar and piano as well. And my children and husband definitely come before blogging... so needless to say, I'm behind. These are some of my favorite pictures of the kids. Both of the kids had fun in grandpa Ray Monroe's guitar case and both of them love listening and trying to play the guitar. I leave my guitar on a stand at home. BreeAnna tested the waters with mommy to see if I'd allow her to play with the guitar. To her surprise, I let her. Ever since, she'll stand by it and pick notes a few times a day. She also accompanies it with creative lyrics. She even sang the whole ABC song all the while picking the guitar strings. I didn't even know she knew the whole song, even though she knows her letters and letter sounds. We don't sing the song to her that often. She's a smart cookie, that one.

We had a hellacious time getting family pictures. (Trying to get wiggly, wild wee ones to hold still for a picture is tortuous.) But, we got a few successful shots out of the 100 or so photos we took. We haven't gotten family pictures since two Octobers ago when BreeAnna was blessed. Thank yous go to Neil, Becca and Tyann's family for helping us get them done.

This weekend was eventful. It was "Uncle Neil's" (my brother-in-law) eagle court of honor, family pictures, my aunt and uncle's surprise 25th anniversary party, and our wee Carson's baby blessing. What a whirlwind of a weekend!

Neil's such a good guy. I loved Brother Omori's comments about Neil's character. Neil is definitely an incredible young man. He's multi-talented (has a gift of making people laugh and is excellent in creating music, etc.) He also perseveres despite health related problems and despite the business of his life to accomplish his goals. If you know Neil, you can feel his testimony of the gospel and of his duty to God. Congratulations on your award.

Is this the same boy?!

2008-10-14T19:18:00.000-07:00

Here are those retries of baby Carson in the Save Carson clothing. :) He doesn't even look like the same baby! It's October 14th, only a couple of weeks from the last picture we've taken of Carson. I think someone switched babies on us.

"No, really?! They killed off Carson?"

"Oh."

"How Sad."

"But they're bringing him back?! Yes!!!"

Lost Camera

2008-10-14T15:35:00.000-07:00

I tell ya, we've gone berserk trying to find our camera over the past 2 weeks. Carson has changed soooo much! I just found it! What a day. Last night I got food poisoning and woke up in the middle of the night with the symptoms. I'm still trying to heal, but blessings have blown in today. First, my friend, Carol Kingston, whom I haven't seen in 10 months, stopped in this morning to visit. :) Then, my sweet mother-in-law came to my rescue. She took Bree home with her so that I could get some rest. I can't tell you how grateful I am for her kind deeds. I didn't know how I was going to make it through the day. Then, our little Carson gave me his first unmistakable smiles. To top it off, I found our camera after some retracing and silent prayers.

So, here the updates unfold:

September 9th, 2008
Pals already!

Bug in a Rug (Sept. 11th)

A visit from the grandparents (Sept. 11th)

Why don't they make beanies to fit babies? (Sept. 12th)

Sept. 15th, 2008 What beautiful kids! More brother/sister time

The Bean Museum at BYU (Sept. 15th) Pictures of BreeAnna with Daddy and uncle Neil Monroe

BreeAnna loves the movie, Cars! Her and mommy even made their own Mater and Lightning McQueen with playdough. Bree loves to create.

Sept. 19th Chillin' with daddy. I can already tell that Carson's going to be a "suck up".

Sept. 21st, 2008. This is a pretty awesome story: Taylor joined a Stargate SG1 and Atlantis forum. Our favorite character from the Stargate Atlantis series was booted off. They killed him off!!! Needless to say, he was other peoples' favorite character as well. Many people complained on this forum, Taylor included. There was a campaign to get the actor put back on the show. Taylor had mentioned on the forum that we were going to have a son and that we were naming him Carson. (This wasn't the reason why we named our baby Carson, though. We're weird, but not that weird. ;) The lady who was in charge of this campaign sent us a couple of onesies, a bib, and a shirt for Bree. This picture was our first attempt to get a good picture of our Carson in the clothing. :) We need to try again. Even better, the actor himself, mailed us a picture of himself with an autograph. :) It says, "To Wee Carson. Welcome my friend! Lots of Love, Paul McGillion". What a neat man!

Sept. 27th, 2008 More brother/sister time. He changes almost everyday!!!

Sept. 28th, 2008 Happy Birthday Uncle Neil!!! This was a family birthday party for Neil. (His b-day is exactly a month after Carson's, Sept. 26th)

Baking with Grandma LaRene

2008-09-22T12:38:00.000-07:00

BreeAnna and Grandma LaRene baked cupcakes together on Friday the 19th of September. BreeAnna had
a blast with her grandma. The next day she went over to grandma's to decorate the cupcakes. I think she enjoyed eating the sprinkles more than the decorating. She made a sprinkle salad in the frosting lid and messily enjoyed licking and dipping her fingers in it.
(Don't worry, mom, if you read this, I washed the lid with soap and water before putting it back on your frosting container.)

August 26th, 2008

2008-09-16T11:57:00.000-07:00

The new and latest with the Eshelman Family:

On August 26th, 2008, the neighborhood stork dropped off a new addition to our little family. We named him Carson Rex Eshelman. His middle name was chosen because it represents 3 of Carson's forefathers. Rex is my maternal grandfather's name. Ray is a derivative of Rex. They all mean King and councilor. Ray is the name of Taylor's step-dad and the name of my biological dad. Hence the name for our little C-Rex. (T-Rex)

When Carson slid out into the real world, the doctor said that he was in competition with his sister, birth-weight wise. Turns out, they weighed the same, 5 lbs. 9 0z. Carson was a wee shorter, though, measuring 18 1/2 inches long.

The labor and delivery went smoothly; well as smoothly as a delivery can go. It was a night and day difference from BreeAnna's delivery. The nurses were extremely nice and helpful, the doctor was actually there to catch the baby, they treated our baby wonderfully, and we had a great location for our room (right acroos from the snack and movie room and away from heavy traffic), the hospital was close to our home and to most of our family and friends' homes, and the doctors were kind and helpful. Carson came out healthy and he was able to stay in my room almost the whole hospital stay.

We're happy to have him home with us. He's such a good baby. BreeAnna loves her baby brother!!! Now that she's healthy again, she's able to hold him and play with him. When we came home from the hospital with Carson, BreeAnna was sick. She was close to being admitted to the hospital. The doctor thought she had pneumonia; her oxygen level was at 84% and her lungs sounded poor. Doctors want oxygen levels at least above 90%. She had two ear infections and bronchitis. We had to do nebulizer treatments on her every four hours, even throughout the night, for 7+ days. Poor girl. Taylor quarantined us to my bedroom so that we wouldn't get sick. (We didn't want Carson to get sick.) By the end of two days, I was ready for a melt down. I wanted to sleep out under the stars. I hadn't seen daylight and smelt fresh air for days it seemed. The baby and I lived and slept in my bedroom for a week. BreeAnna was mommy hungry and to be honest, I was missing my little girl too. So, I would put Carson in his crib to sleep and then I would spend some quality mommy/daughter time with Bree. Then I'd change shirts and spend time with Carson, so on and so forth.

We're healthy now and have been enjoying spending time together as a family. BreeAnna loves her little brother. She's such a great help. :)

Thank you to all of those who helped us out during that two week period after Carson's birth. We appreciate it and love you all! And thank you to everyone for the gifts.
