Life Update

So much has happened in the last year. Riley and I are expecting a son due June 6th. His name will be Aiden Riley Carton. We also got divorced. I am currently living in midvale. My cousin lives next door to me and we have so much fun. Our kids are close in age so it makes life a bit easier. I am getting ready to go through the temple. I should be all ready about the time my son is born and I am so excited. We have had our 20 week ultrasound for Aiden and everything checked out perfect. I am selling Lia Sophia again and working my way up to manager. I love it! Addison and I spend our days playing, reading books, and crafting. We like going out on Tuesdays and Fridays and spending the day with my Mom. We like going to visit my Grandma and Grandpa too! Life is crazy and scary and exciting and so good!

UP DATE

Ok so I have been slacking for a while, so this one is going to be long.
  Addison was born on July 21, 2010 and was 7 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long. Beautiful and perfect. Since then we have moved into our own place in Midvale and are doing well. Addison is crawling, eating all sorts of real people food, and trying to walk. We are very excited to be our cute little family.  She has been a challenge but lots of fun. Dobbie is still kicking around getting old and fat.

Addison's Blessing

 Yesterday, which was September 5th, 2010, we had Addison blessed. My Dad was the one who gave her her name and blessing. It was so sweet. My Grandma Banner made her blessing dress and my Grandma Carton made her blanket. We had so many family members and friends there to support us, which we are very grateful for. The spirit was so strong. We had the most amazing testimony meeting I think our ward has ever had after that and one of the sharers was my Mom. I was sitting next to my really good friend who is not a member of the church and as I was crying because of the warmth the spirit brought to me, I looked over at her and noticed she too was crying. It was so moving to see someone who is not a member who is in fact a very strong member of the catholic church be moved by a testimony spoken by a member of the LDS church about her knowledge of the LDS church. Then we went to Relief Society at my Grandmas ward with her. She is the Relief Society President and it was her Birthday. After that we went to her house to have lunch, cake and homemade ice cream. It was so nice to have friends and family there to celebrate so much life! What an amazing Sunday!
