The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    Our kids





    Well we have had lots of fun lately with the kids! We went to Wild Island Water park and that was so much fun. My sister came for a visit as well for a few days while she is on break from school. Justin's parents are coming in town along with his brother and his family for the Rib Cook off in September and my mom is coming in August for a visit as well. Justin just taught 4th of July weekend on Forgiveness and it was awesome. He did such a good job! I know he was meant to be teaching! We took a trip at the beginning of June to see Justin's parents. Just me Caleb and Bella! That was a long week by myself with the kids but it was so worth it and so much fun!Caleb is 5 months old next week! WOW! He has a little stomach bug these last couple of days but is doing great! At his 4 month appt he weighed 16 1/2 lbs and was 26 inches long. He is about a pound bigger than Bella was at her same appt. He is sooooo cute! According to Bella, at least that's what she says all the time! He loves to be standing or have you hold him and carry him along in what you are doing. He has this weird natural "fohawk" he has grown! Just wants to immitate daddy I guess! Bella is growing as well and her vocab is huge! We are really trying to crack down on the "terrible twos" though. She is throwing lots of fits and needs to obey more. We bought a book and are reading it together. It's called "Have a new kid by FRIDAY!" Changing your kids Attitude, Behavior, and Character. It's very good and very funny! We will be putting what we learn consistently into practice next week. Anyway, thats all for now. I have both kids napping at the same time for a change so I am going to take advantage of it!
