Life seems to be racing by these days and there is very little time to document it all. Where do I begin? Carson finishes Kindergarten and T-ball, Jamison's blessing, one last Doll Family get together (at least for 3 years), my 30th birthday, broken sewage pipes under the house, planning a kitchen remodel, locking my sweet baby in the car (and myself out of the house), 29 straight days without rain and the list goes on and on. Here's a few of the important more important ones.
What a year for Carson! He loved Kindergarten and I loved his teacher. 30 years in the business this woman knows what she 's doing. Carson thrived under her instruction and is more than prepared for full day first grade in a few months. T-ball, what can I say? Sitting at his first game the next 20 years of my life flashed before my eyes. We will be doing a lot of this over the years and I discovered I'm a pro at getting the grass stains out of those white pants. Carson loves to be right in the middle of the action and will run halfway across the field just to be in the middle of a play regardless of his assigned position. His trademark was a slide at home plate every time at bat. . . like I said washing uniforms is a newfound talent of mine!
On Sunday I turned the milestone 30 years old! It was a quiet celebration and next to getting tickets to see "Wicked" my favorite part was laying on the couch watching Carson peel potatoes and Spencer rip lettuce leaves for a salad. Nick is always so good to involve the boys in celebrations for me and I love not making dinner and seeing my boys work together happily.
Two weeks ago my whole family met up in California before my parents take off for Chicago for the next 3 years. Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun family times. My brother Steve got married to Jessica last week so this is officially the Doll Family picture. While there we also took advantage of having all the family in one place and decided to bless Jamison in my parents ward. Here is Jamison Leroy pictured with my Dad Sherman Leroy and my Grandfather Elwood Leroy. Someday Jamison will know how special these two men are and will understand why I knew from the very beginning that I wanted him to share their name.
