“This Week” with the Youngbloods
Carl likes to watch a news program called “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos. So, I’m using a similar title for the rundown of our week:
Carl sang the national anthem, with a ward friend, at the scouting Court of Honor on Tuesday. It was a family dinner affair, and we had a good time. I told Carl that I’m looking forward to James starting scouts, and presenting me with pins and kisses!
This is the month of world travel for Carl. He left yesterday for a week in Norway, where he will be filming a conference and hopefully visiting his friend, Oystein. He’ll be home about a day before flying to Brazil to spend time with his team of Brazilian programmers. He’s looking forward to seeing old mission friends and the country that he loves! I would love to be traveling with him, but with school and babies this is not the time for it. Someday… Meanwhile, I hope he takes some pictures that we can post here!
I, Kami, am feeling a bit lonely, what with Carl being gone, my sisters out of state, and Mom visiting with them! But the kids will keep me company, and maybe a chick-flick or two:) I enjoyed General Conference this weekend.
James has now lost both of his front teeth. He’s got the classic “All I Want for Christmas” look! The tooth fairy came and left him with riches. He also ran in his school’s Fun Run on Friday. He and JoJo are excited for their upcoming birthdays!
Joseph and Sammy (along with James) got haircuts! Mom took the buzzer to ‘em. We had to prepare for school pictures next week.
Annie is wonderful, but much too spitty! Yikes, she spits up a lot. I hope that’ll taper off soon.
The following picture is a link to an album of a few recent pictures: I recognize they’re somewhat Annie-centered, but, hey, she’s still new! Carl was playing a new computer game called “Spore” with the boys. James gets a kick out of the picture of Annie in headphones.
This one’s just one of my favorites–taken by Carl on a “Daddy Date” to the Dinosaur Museum last March.
And this one’s representative of all the road work near us that’s driving me nuts! (It’s great living so close to the park.)
I’ll end with a cute picture of Sam. Good-bye for now!
I am SOOO glad you have a blog! And you do such a cute job with it. I just found out from your blog that Carl and Mom were out of town
thanks for keeping me in the loop. Wish we could be closer and have you all come over and hoop it up with us over conference weekend in that you are being the loner mom out there 
!! At least you have those CUTE CUTE CUTEST of kids to keep you company 
I can’t hardly stand how cute Annie is. . .just when you thought there couldn’t come any cuter Youngbloods you get the rose of the patch! Good luck on the world travles Carl, bring me back some European chocolate!! (OK, I guess you can give it to the family instead)
Cute pictures, thanks for sharing! And thanks for sharing mom with us for a week and a half (sorry you were alone). I think Annie looks the most like you out of all of your kids. What a cutie!
I found your blog through Lori’s blog. Soooo cute! Your kids are darling! How fun to have added a girl to your handsome bunch of boys. Keep in touch. Hopefully we’ll see you sometime when we’re in Utah!
