Spring Time

       Hi everyone!!  It's finally spring time.  Everything is in bloom.  It's beautiful.  Mom has started her garden and little sprouts are coming up.  I finally started all my flowers.  I have missed my flower garden for a long time. I'm going to tear up the whole front yard and plant Painted Daisies, Bachelor Buttons,  Sunflowers, Columbine, and much more. 
So Brayden's 8th birthday is coming up on the 22nd and we are so excited. His baptism is going to be on the 28th.  Call us at (304)-249-6235.
    Last Wednesday we went swimming.  It was great but a little chilly.  But we've been doing lots of fishing.  We've caught a lot but there are all small, so we let them go.
   Yesterday Brayden, Tyler and Dad went to a fun thing in our town.  They got to shoot bow and arrows, 22's and 12 gauges, then they threw tomahawks.  They're boys, it was fun for them.  Brayden won a BB gun too!!!! He will be in the newspaper soon.
    I had my first official horseback riding lessen.  Totally fun and I was sore the next day. I got to learn how to trot.  Up and down, up and down.  That was hard!!  
    We got our chicken coop set up, finally.  We hope to be getting eggs from a friend, to hatch!!
    Here's some pics.....                    Love,  Carly

Here's one more pic from the dance of Garrett.  I'm rocking it in the background.

              Hello everyone!!  Its' been awhile.  Not much has happened.  Two weeks ago Dad had a surgery on his spine.  It was nice and hectic.  Garrett and Jesse held down the fort though while they were gone for 2 days. I just cooked, kept peace and reminded everyone to love each other.  Dad can't lift more than 10 pounds for 4 more weeks.  He's sore and we just dote on him.
       I finally got some finishing pics of the house.  Not all of them. Were missing the kitchen(yellow), the purple bathroom, and the living room(forest green).
   Also back at Valentine's day we had a stake dance themed the 50's.  It was so much fun.  My best friend Emily Royster from the Richmond parts came up to the dance.  That was awesome.  Then I went and spent the night.  We stayed up until a unknown time and still got up for seminary the next day.

    Hey, it's been a while.  Last Monday, the 25th of Feb, Mom and I went to Bridgewater College.  We were suppose to see Elizabeth Smart speak, but the room was full when we got there.  After she was done we got to see her and talk to her.  It was a great opportunity.
    On the 23rd of Feb. we all went to the temple for a youth trip.  I got to do a lot of my family names.  My Grandma Watson has we hooked on family history.  It's a amazing thing.  Everyone should try it.
