Free Chick-fil-A

Just Life, , ,

If you can’t tell, we’ve been really into free food lately. A few weeks ago (or wait, is it months now? Yes, definitely months; this was pre-pregnancy; I’m a little behind on posting) we dressed up as cow’s for Chick-fil-A’s cow appreciation day and got free Chick-fil-A! Pretty much the best possible food to be had (especially for free!) on the planet. Carson slept through the whole thing, but Josh and I sure loved it. :) (Also, Josh is mooing in all his pictures.)

 

If you noticed we were pretty classy cows, we went to my cousin Hillary’s wedding reception right after. It was a beautiful reception and we’re so glad to have Braxton in the family! Plus we got the only other free food that can compare with free Chick-fil-A at the reception: free Coldstone ice cream. Yep, we were pretty stuffed by the time the night was over. Do you ever wish you were a bear and could eat tons of delicious food at once, like before hibernation, and then just be good for a day or two? That night I sure did.

October Update

Just Life, , , , , , ,

Here’s a little bit of what’s been going on in our lives lately.

First, we really enjoyed General Conference weekend. We loved hearing the speakers and uplifting messages, and on top of all that we got to see family, introduce Carson to Grandpa Lyman, uncles Chris, Zach, and Luke, great-grandparents Lyman, and some other cousins and aunts and uncles, too. And we blessed Carson. It was a great weekend.

Carson with Dad the morning before his blessing. He was happier when the blessing happened, promise.

Then the next weekend, Grandma Ellsworth came to visit. Carson had a fun time seeing his grandma again, who kept trying to give him toys and get him to play (Grandma can’t wait to play).

We had a big dinner Sunday night with Grandma and my sisters and some friends. Ah, sisters. Love them. :)

While Grandma was visiting, we took Carson to his first restaurant: the BYU Creamery. Ah, such a Provo baby. Josh tried to feed him ice cream. Not yet, Josh. ;-)

Oh, and it snowed for the first time not too long ago! Just in the mountains. See? The weather’s gotten nice again, but it’s fun to feel fall on the way.

And then there’s just the normal but oh-so-amazing moments that happen every day with Carson.

We love all the cute faces, the new sounds. Oh, and Carson’s rolling over! He flipped from his stomach to his back one day and has done it several times since. Still trying to master it, though. :) We never could have guessed how amazing it is to just watch your brand new baby do the smallest things, like flipping over. We just think he’s the greatest. :) And we’ll post a video soon!
