Welcome Jackson James Carver!!!

We are so excited to welcome a new Carver baby to the clan!!! My little Brother Brent & wife Janeen just had their first baby. A beautiful baby boy- Jackson James Carver.....aka Jacks, Jacks boy, JJ. My bro. is Brent James Carver and dad is Thomas James Carver so little Jackson is named after both. Ethan is also named after my dad Ethan Thomas and my sister named her son Carver James. I guess we like to keep the names in the family.....good names gotta use them.

Anyway we are so proud of Brent & Janeen. What a beautiful baby boy. We were so excited to meet him. We decided to spend Memorial weekend with them. Here are some of our pictures.

And here is the little star of the weekend.....


Here's me and my two as we first walk in the door after a long 4.5 hour drive, in the middle of the night. Nathan was able to squirm out of that pic, no one looks good after a long car drive in the middle of the night :) (take notice of Ethan's tough guy pose, trying to be cool) BUT the focus is little Jackson.

I always knew my bro would be a good daddy. It just comes naturally to him. I loved watching him with his son. It's so exciting to have all of our families grow and get bigger. It just seemed like the other day we were all kids and jumping on the trampoline or riding bikes.

Brent you do such a good job with little Jacks. He's so lucky that you are his father. Janeen don't even get me started on what a good mommy you are. What a lucky baby to have such a caring sweet mommy. Both of you are pros already and he's not even a month old.

SO SWEET :)


My brother the jokester

What a cute baby.

I love him, I love him, I love him

Me & Neen and are babies. They are 6 months apart. Janeen by the way there's NO WAY you just had a baby. What a woman, you look so so good. I wish I looked like that a WEEK after I had a baby. You can't even tell she just had a baby. You've got skills girl, tell me what you do. You look awesome!
What a beautiful family. We are so happy for y'all. We are so glad we live so close. We can't wait to come see Jackson again soon. Ethan keeps talking about "baby Jacks" he keeps saying he needs to see baby Jacks, he needs to play cars, he needs to play ball. He's just as in love as we are.

This is an exciting year for the Carver family. My brother Chris had a baby girl last November, little Mavery Lynn then we had Shelby Nicole in December......then in April sister Carrie had her twin girls Elsie Michelle & Ava Elizabeth ( Carrie has 4 kids now under 4 years old!!! GO CARRIE!!!!!! ) and then finally BRENT the first Carver boy to carry on the name Carver. Little Mr. Jackson James Carver. Way to go guys! We love him!!!

Part 1 to Memorial Day Weekend

Like I said earlier we were able to spend Memorial Day Weekend with my brother Brent in Rexburg Idaho. We had such a great time. We got a good deal on a hotel and decided to make a little vacation out of it. Here are some of our fun pictures. We all had so much fun, we hope we weren't too much for you guys with your new born baby.

Here are a few pics of us playing at the park, swimming in our hotel pool and checking out the beautiful gardens on campus-BYU Idaho.

Part 2 Memorial weekend

We were also so happy to spend part of Memorial Weekend with aunt Heidi :) We went over to Heidi's house with our friends the Laytons. We all enjoyed a yummy barbecue cooked up by Nathan. He cooked up some delicious burgers, grilled peppers, potato chips, hot dogs & scrumptious grilled pineapples. Thanks Heidi for the yummy dinner and visit :) Ethan & Shelby sure do love their aunt Heidi!!!

Our DAY WITH THOMAS!!!

We Love Thomas the Train!!! Before my brother Bryan went on his mission (about a year and a half ago) He bought Ethan this Thomas the Train dvd and introduced him to all the train fun. Ethan of course now is quite a fan of Thomas. In fact if we ever hear a train blowing it's whistle Ethan stops whatever he's doing to announce, "It's Thomas!!!!"
We had so much fun on our day with Thomas. We went out to Heber City Railroad to visit with him. We spent the day there doing fun activities. Ethan was in heaven. We wanted to share some of the fun pictures!!!

Here's us having fun blowing bubbles. Ethan had so much fun with all of the other children there. He is so friendly and fun. I'm so glad I have a little guy who is friendly and good hearted. He's always happy, friendly and ready to have fun!!

This was a fun corn maze we had fun in running around. Ethan is quite the runner too, maybe he'll follow in his daddy's foot steps with track some day. I will tell you this, that litle guy is fast, I can't keep up with him :)

Here are just some other fun pictures of us riding Thomas. Nathan kept commenting that his mom would have loved to be there. We would have loved her to be there too, we'll have to plan that for another time, ok Grandma A?!?! It was a cool classic train. We enjoyed a short little ride. There was a conductor that walked around and talked with the kids. They blew the big train whistle and Ethan got so excited. The conductor even passed out little certificates to the children officially saying they were jr. engineers. We've now got that posted up on Ethan's wall so he can remember his day with Thomas!!









There were also some "clowns" there to make some special balloons for the children. We requested a little flower hat for pretty Ms. Shelby and Ethan requested a snake, which he of course had a great time with, I'm sure you can imagine.
Anyway what a wonderful day that I'm sure none of us will forget, especially Ethan. We love Thomas!!!!
