We left early Saturday morning and made it up to Firth by 9 am. We spent Saturday running around visiting family and friends. We were able to drop in on Anthony & Alisha and visit for awhile. Carson was so excited to see Peter and Andrew! 
We also visited with Jeff's family and had dinner at Ryan & Maria's (thank you guys, it was yummy!)
On Sunday we spent the day with my mom celebrating her birthday. Here is her cake, can you guess how old she is....
...She's 52, but we didn't have a 2 so my step dad improvised adding on an extra 1. When we left my mom's house we also took with us my old bed....half of a bunk bed set that Candi and I shared when we were little. I know it is old fashioned looking (it was bought in the early 90's when my mom and step dad married) but it was free, so I can't complain at all. I think we are eventually going to buy Carson and Jonas a bunk bed set, but for now this will work and give Carson some much needed room to sleep! So thankful!
Hmm, looking at this picture of Carson's room is a little unsettling as the bookshelves look like they are hung too high! Ugh, I violated one of the most fundamental interior design rules...NOT hanging anything in the top 1/4 to 1/3 of your wall. It always drives me crazy when I see things hung higher than they should be!
One more thing to be thankful for...our truck. After Jeff totaled his truck a year and a half ago, we were able to get such a good deal on this truck. We are thankful that found a reliable, fairly new truck, that isn't breaking the bank. The truck turned over 70,000 miles on the way back to Utah. We've only put 8,000 miles on the truck since we got it. It has low miles for the year.

I LOVE that design rule, and also HATE it when it's violated, but I can't see that your shelves are too high - at least for an adult...maybe like three inches. :) But at the same time, you have to consider if a certain little boy will get to them if they're too low...what a predicament! I love reading your blog. I love that it's so uplifting, and wonderful!!! THanks for always being so AWESOME! :)
It's always nice to go home! It looks like it was a great weekend, and Happy Birthday to your mom! I'm sure it was fun for her to have you come home.
Some of the stuff on our walls must drive you crazy, we totally break "the rule", lol. I hope Carson is liking his new bed!
You want to get together Thursday? You are more than welcome to come down here!
