Since Carina is probably never going to do it, here are some awesome pictures:

Here is our Springfield Armory XD .45 ACP. the mag is double stack and holds 13 shells (Carina is a better shot with it than I am).



This is the gun I bought for Carina, its .22 Walther P22. I carry this more often than my .45 since I'm kind of skinny and its hard to hide a 5" barrel.

Here is a picture of the rounds for each gun sitting next to each other for comparison.

We got this martin .22 caliber rifle to do some distance shooting since the hand guns can get expensive to shoot. Again, Carina is a much better shot than I am.

We are preparing to get Carina enroled in hunters safety and then get her Utah concealed permit. Once she has those we are planning on getting her a little beretta .22 that she can wear. she's skinnier than I am and has a hard time concealing the Walther even.

I want to go to the park!

So, Chris and I got sick of hearing, "Lets go to the park!" Not that we don't enjoy taking Daisy to the park, but sometimes she'll make us take her multiple times a day. Our solution was to get a little swing set. Daisy has loved it and now we only have to go the park once a week or so. He he!

Here she is on the see-saw. I didn't get a good picture of her on the swing, but that seems to be her favorite part. She has almost figured out how to pump her legs and swing all by herself.

Happy Father's Day!

Just want to wish you all a Happy Father's Day! Also I just want you all to know what a great dad Chris is. He is so good with Daisy and she adores him. Most of you have seen him in action and know what I am talking about. For those of you who haven't seen him for awhile and are doubting me right now, I have the picture to prove it....

Honestly, what father out there lets his three year old put curlers in his hair and then takes pictures for all to see? Happy Father's Day Chris!! I think you're great!!

Swimming Lessons

Daisy has been going to school at Koala Kids three mornings a week for the past couple months now. During the summer they offer swimming lessons through Apple Athletic Club. So they load up the kids on the bus each morning and take them over. Today was Daisy's first day. She did great!

In these pictures Daisy is doing "motorboat" with her teacher. They spin around singing the motorboat song. They go fast, then they go slow. She seemed to love it until they reached the end of the song and the boat sank(I don't remember having learned that part of the song). Daisy ended up being dunked under the water. She was pretty ticked off that her face had gotten wet. She turned to her teacher and, with an evil glint in her eye, yelled, "you got water in my eyes!"

So Big!

So Daisy has been bugging me to get her ears pierced for awhile now. I kept telling her she was to little, but finally I gave in. Chris and I took her in and had it done on Saturday. She did so well! She cried for a second, but as soon as she saw her ears in the mirror she stopped crying and said "Oh, I look so pretty!!"




She is a little cheesy in this picture but you can see how big she looks with her new earrings. She is growing up so fast it makes me cry!!

Trip to the Zoo!

We finally had a warm day and decided to make the best of it. So, we spent the day roaming around at the zoo and playing at Tautphaus Park. Daisy loved the zoo. Her favorite animals were the penguins and the monkeys. We all had a blast riding the rides although Daisy wasn't to fond of the Octopus. She and Chris both looked a little green at the end of that ride. I knew from past experience what would happen if I rode(it involves an emergency trip to the nearest garbage can), so I just watched and laughed and took pictures.

I've given in....

Due to the overwhelming amount of peer pressure from all of my family and friends(mostly just Jason, hehe), I have finally decided start my very own blog. I'm not sure why I have waited so long as I love to look at everyone elses blogs. I suppose it is simply because I really don't need one more thing to do. So, please forgive me if my post are few and far between and just be grateful for the updates that you do get. Since I have to work this week, make pies, and pull of my first enrichment meeting this Thursday I will probably not post any pictures until next week. So, check back later for some fun pictures of our wonderful little family and life!
