The Carney is back in town!!

1/2 baths and teenagers....

This is for you Diane.....

So I am always so amused by what Cole's obsessions turn out to be.....I once thought it would be so funny to write them down. So his current one is bathrooms. And how many people have in their homes and what type they are. Be it 1/2, 3/4, full, master baths or toilet closets. He likes to have shane quiz him like...."this bathroom has 2 sinks and 2 shower heads and a jetted tub".....and cole will say "master bathroom!" this continues thru all the types. He knows how many and of what size all of our friends and relatives have in their homes and where they are located. I always try to think of how I could morph one of his obsessions into an occupation, but they ususally don't stick around long enough for me to figure that out.

Callie on the other hand is spilling over with attitude, it is hilarious! I honestly don't know where she learns some of this stuff! I swear I do not put my hands on my hips and grunt....at least I hope I don't. She has been doing this thing lately where she will say, "watch!" and then she will slowly rise up to her tippy toes and walk around on her tippy toes and say guess what I am......" A teenager!" are we in for it or what! She will continue to walk around on her toes and say look mom I am a teenager, watching her turn into one is the funniest part because she does it so slowly and deliberately that her arms even come up slowly as she is rising up like she is filling with air----morphing into a teenager right before our eyes!~

Not sure what day of the week it is...

So summer is here, and I honestly never know what day of the week it is! I miss having calendar every morning. I mean besides Sunday the days are all the same. So I literally wake up some days and think is it Tuesday or Saturday? The first week was a little rough. I mean a huge adjustment for everyone. We went from me working, Cole in school all day, and Callie in school half a day to nothing plus cold weather aaaaahhhhh! And then they still hadn't adjusted their sleep schedule so it was up at 6:45-ish which made for a long day of trying to figure out what to do all day. Shane's work started picking up too which I am so grateful for but that meant long hours for him. Lets just say he came home to me sitting on the stairs with my head in my hands a couple of times :)! But all it took was a week and now everyone is back to themselves!!! Yay! We are having a good time and all is well!! Thank goodness for friends!!! and summer practicum!!! :)

A walk up the Provo river trail....

So a couple of sundays ago I took the kids up that trail to the base of bridal veil falls. The river was super high and fast and Cole was on his scooter next to me. So I said, "Cole you have to stay right next to me if you fell in that river I would just die....." to which he responded, " No, mom I would be the one that would die..." which I said "No, honey I just mean I would never get over it." and fittingly he told me, "well mom the bridge is just right there you could get over it there." Kid you not that was the exact conversation so perfect! Life would be so boring without his little literal mind.

Callie is so sweet!! Her little pre-school graduation was last friday and I was prepping her saying you'll just do a couple things up front and then everyone will clap and then you will be all done. She was so excited she went up there with all the other kids and they said the pledge of allegiance and everybody clapped and she thru her hands in the air and said "I'm Done!" Needless to say she spent the rest of the program on my lap and I couldn't have been happier. Let's be honest how many more years will she sit on my lap thru school programs........well lets hope not too many more :)

Walk for Autism

We were on the Giant Steps team
It was such a fun day with so many things for the kids to do
There were all kinds of Disney characters!

A day at the farm

A few weeks ago the theme at school was farm animals. Cole with the help of Callie made a farm in our front room, with animals, food and water and crops. So Fun!

Just Catching up....

I can't keep up with all of my technology these days! First I started texting which I must say it now takes me less than 10 minutes to ask a question. And most of the time you can even decipher what I am trying to say. Then Bre introduced me to blogging and then Amber started me on Facebook. Does anybody even check email anymore? But seriously I love it!! And I wouldn't be able to figure out any of it without my younger/hipper friends! Speaking of younger and hipper, my birthday was friday and Shellee and Naon and I went and stayed the night in Park City and SHOPPED our hearts out at the outlets, went out to dinner at the best restaurant called the eating establishment and saw Made of Honor, ate tons of chocolate, read magazines and stayed up late. It was soooooo much fun!

As this year is starting to wind down and my last day at giant steps is approaching as well as Cole's last day of kindergarten, Callie's last day of Shauna's and Shane's last day of nearly full time Mr. mom. I have never been so grateful for the people in my life and in my kids everyday life who have made this year possible and so wonderful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
