Lost Camera

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)

Wow, Faith, so much to comment on! You sure pulled through with the photos! First of all, they DO make beenie caps for babies, but the baby has to be normal sized! :) Kidding. You know, looking at your pictures, I can sure tell our kids are related! Carson looks a lot like some of my kids baby pictures. I can't pick which ones right now, but he seems oddly familiar. Second, that's cool about that actor guy. It's always cool to get responses from people who are 'famous.' Thirdly, we obviously are missing out on a lot because we live down here. And fourth, I really hope you are feeling better! That couldn't have been fun! Love ya, and thanks for posting such cute pics!

Faith, the cuteness is killing me. If you don't stop posting such cute pictures, I will be forced to kidnap your children. My roommates would definitely help me, too. :)

Check out the end of this stream of comments on that Stargate forum about Taylor's email. There's also a link there in his comment showing the autographed picture of Paul McGillion (Carson).
