    Joseph's baptism day turned out really nice.  For once, we arrived at the church with plenty of time, arranged the food, filled the font, took a picture...a much different experience than James' baptism two years ago!  (James was baptised with many others his age, the program planned by the stake.  Joseph's was entirely planned and prepared by US. :))  We missed our extended family, but were supported by friends in the ward, and even our next-door neighbors from Poland, who are not members.  Afterward, while eating, we asked everyone to write a message to Joseph in his journal as a special keepsake.

    We are happy for Joseph.  There was a special spirit at his baptism, and we know that Heavenly Father was pleased that he chose to follow Jesus, and be baptized and confirmed!

    I wish I had more pictures to share.  These are all we have, and not very good quality.  Our camera was broken and we had to use the iPhone.

    Joseph the Winner!

    Joseph's picture, entitled "Black Hole," was a winner in our school's Reflections contest!  The theme was "WOW," and Joseph figured there wasn't much more amazing than a black hole.:)  He made his picture with black paper, crayons, watercolor paint, and glitter glue.  He was presented a trophy in a special assembly, and we were super proud of him!

    2 1/2 Weeks in a Nutshell

    I'm back--with a lot to catch up on! I'll keep it simple: Carl was in Norway October 4-11th, and left for Brazil on the morning of the 13th. He'll be home next Monday, the 27th! I think I can survive just a few more days... I had envisioned fulfilling solo time and plenty of sappy girl movies, but I've been too busy to fit a lot of that stuff in. "Alone" is getting old, and I'm anxious to have Carl back! We got to see him on video over Skype the other day. He's been growing a beard, and running from thing to thing to thing. (More news on his adventures later!) October 6 was the beginning of a busy week! The kids had "drug free" activities and school pictures. Joseph lost his first tooth on his Kindergarten zoo fieldrip! We received two treats from the Halloween "Phantom," and had to return the favor the next night by leaving secret surprises on people's doorsteps. (Me and all the kids...do you think we were super-sneaky?) I bought out the local Kid to Kid for the kids' fall wardrobe, and did a bunch of other things. Cousins came to play on Saturday, and Carl returned home for the day on Sunday. What a week! We had a little cake celebration with Carl, on Sunday the 12th, for James' and Joseph's birthdays. Joseph turned 6 years old on October 14th! We had to visit the eye doctor after school, but treated ourselves to Happy Meals after that. The kids were overjoyed to find Hot Wheels cars in their meals. James' birthday was Sunday the 19th, and he turned 8 years old! We ate chocolate cake and played Monopoly Junior. Simple celebrations, really, but the boys seemed happy, and loved their birthday Bionicles. They've been promised some nifty bunkbeds when Dad returns. We were delighted to have a Fall Break from school last Thursday and Friday! Grandma Jane and Grandpa Dick came with us, on Friday the 17th, to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We had a great time with the rocket launch, balloon-house bouncing and slides, pedal cars, barnyard animals, and tractor ride. And we still have two bags of leftover cotton candy! (Grandpa went all-out:)) Then Mom and Dick watched the kids while I enjoyed myself at my Relief Society's "Fabulous Friday." I made a bracelet and a magnet board, and appreciated the time out. Now this week is already half over. Errands, groceries, and James' homework that just about kills me off! :) (For a second-grader, he sure has a lot!) As I mentioned, James is now 8 years old, and we bought him a scout shirt and took him to his first pack meeting tonight! He's really excited to be in the Wolf den, and race in the Pinewood Derby next month. Years ago, I used to dream of the day when I had an 8-year-old child, getting baptized and the like. Well, the day has come! James will be baptized a member of our church on November 1! It truly is amazing how the time flies. I'm done with the "nutshell." OK, it's a little more than a nutshell, and mainly for my own record of our goings-on, but at least it has brought us up to date.

    "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!

    Introductions

    Carl set up this blog many months ago, and it has been sitting dormant--until now!  I've decided to start blogging.  Mainly because I think it's such a handy way to journal our lives, and to let people peek in at the same time!  I want to begin by introducing our family:
    Media_httplh5ggphtcom_fecef
    This is Carl, great husband and super daddy. He's 33 years old. He is a computer programmer, currently working for a company called Surgeworks where he gets to manage a team of programmers in Brazil. He loves having the opportunity to speak Portuguese! As a side business, Carl is occasionally hired (with his business partner) to record conferences and put them online. He's been all around the US doing this, and to Norway. Carl is the Music Chairperson in our ward/church congregation, so he gets to share his musical talents. He also works with the 11-year-old scouts. What a guy!
    Media_httplh6ggphtcom_zdvmf
    This is me--Kami, or Mom--when our daughter, Annie, was born. 29 years old. I'm lucky wife to Carl, and mother of four fantastic kids! I give hugs, help with homework, change diapers, and attempt to keep the household in order (a lifelong goal)! I'm secretary in our ward Relief Society. I love to gorge on a good book when I get the chance.
    Media_httplh3ggphtcom_nhahs
    James is our oldest. He's 7 years old--almost 8, in 2nd Grade. He's a smart kid, and a good helper! He also plays the piano. He wants to be a scientist some day.
    Media_httplh4ggphtcom_gnmxs
    Joseph is almost 6. He loves plants and animals, and has an active imagination. He's strong-willed, too. He just started Kindergarten!
    Media_httplh4ggphtcom_xbdbo
    Samuel is 3 years old. He's a little more rough-and-tumble than his brothers. His face is very expressive, and he's finally learning to talk!
    Media_httplh3ggphtcom_cdcag
    Annie has now reached 4 months (she was born May 24th). We're so excited to have a baby girl in the family! She's usually a pretty happy baby, I just thought this "crabby" picture was cute:) Annie can smile, coo, laugh, and roll over!
    Media_httplh4ggphtcom_xeiev
    This is our cat, Shadow, just after a bath. She's really a pretty kitty when she's dry:) We've had her about a year and a half, in which time she's had many adventures and a few surgeries!
    Media_httplh5ggphtcom_cwili
    This is a picture of the whole family on Annie's Blessing Day in July.
    Media_httplh3ggphtcom_acyii
    And this is our home in South Jordan, Utah! So, the introductions having been made, we will proceed to post our news and thoughts from time to time...and hope you'll enjoy looking at them!
