Update on the Carlson's

We have been busy at our house!! Between Christmas, playgroups, birthdays, callings, and everything else I haven't made time to blog! I can't believe it's been 2 months already Crazy! Well here are the updates: Ellie has decided to stop doing Ballet and start Soccer. We're excited for her to try something different so she can see what she really likes the most! She is also reading more than ever! She reads the Book of Mormon with us every night and hardly needs any help at all! She just amazes me! Hannah just turned 3 last Friday. We had a Valentine's birthday party. There were hearts everywhere! We also went to Chuck E. Cheese on her actual birthday and she got to pick what she wanted me to make her for dinner (which ended up being Eggs and toast..haha). Hannah is starting to speak more clearly now and her spunk and personality is cracking us up every day! She also is one of the most thoughtful children I've ever seen! If Ellie or I can't find something she'll jump up and say "Me find it" and she will almost always find it! She's so sweet! Annmarie is as smiley as ever! She is such a little chatterbox too! She makes every type of sound with her mouth, it cracks me up! She's also started doing a chomping motion randomly throughout the day, she looks so cute with her little toothless gums! She's started eating baby food and rice cereal and loves it!! She's also rolling over both ways now and has started to sleep through the night some nights. Thanks to an amazingly organized friend (Kari..you know who you are!) I've been inspired to organize my house and to be on a cleaning schedule of cleaning the entire house 1 day a week...then you don't have to worry about deep cleaning the rest of the week! I love it! It's awesome! I've always struggled keeping my house clean and this is working better than any other schedule I've tried! That's about all the news at our house except that we got our Silver Dollar City passes and are soooooo excited to go play there soon! YAHOO!
