The one where the Carmacks and the Smiths tear up happy hollow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM HAPPY HOLLOW!

The one with the explanation.

So our Christmas card photo opp all stemmed from the above photo. My friend Sandi asked me if I would be willing to have our family photo taken for their marketing of their new subdivision. After tough negotiations(can I use it for my C-mas card?) we said yes, and this is the final product. We are totally famous now and we are signing our cards for those of you who want autographs!!!

The one with all the strep.

December 8,2007: Five out of six Carmacks have Strep throat.(Eliza is a lucky little bugger)

December 26, 2007: One out of Six Carmacks has Strep throat. My life and my throat hurts.

The one with random placement!

Scenes from a Happy Thanksgiving.(my blog timeline is so messed up!)

The one where Eliza turns 4!

Ouch, this birthday hurt a little. How is it possible that my baby is 4. Like it or not we partied hard. The day started with Eliza's friend party. It was Strawbetty Shortcake theme. All the friends got a little apron to keep and we baked strawberry shortcake and then decorated them. I think they all had fun, I know Eliza did! Happy, Happy LuLu!!!

The one where Sam turns 6!

I have been a big time slacker with my blog. Sam's bday was on Nov.25 and I am now just posting. It was too cute not to share! It was a pirate theme as you can see, they loved it! We went on a treasure hunt and Josh jumped out now and then on the path and at the end they had to fight him for their "booty".

The one with SAM.

A conversation with Sam today.

Sam: "Mom, when do I need to start searching for my wife?"

Mom:"Well, um, not anytime soon, Maybe in high school, after your mission, college maybe?"

Sam: "Do you try a bunch and decide which one you like the best?"

Mom: "You don't actually try them, you just see which one you like the best."

Sam: "hum, ok, I was just wondering."
