So Monday was my b-day. It was a pretty normal day (study, hang with Carson). That night we went to Karl's parents' place and had cake and ice cream (together actually...ice cream cake). It was mint chocolate chip, very good, very delicious (office quote for those of you paying attention). Other than that we have been B to the oring around here.
We got our family pictures in the mail. She did post most of the really good ones. She gave us every picture but only photoshoped the real good ones. It's amazing what a finish that software program puts on the pictures. I've been hearing votes of everyones' favs and I agree. I like the foot one, me kissing Carson, and I love the blue background one (although Carson is pulling a face). It was sooo hard to get him to sit still.
Carson has a few developments but they're not consistent yet. In Hawaii he learned to say Hey or Hi (although he doesn't do it as much now). He knows daddy. The other day he was reaching for his bubble jar and kept saying Bubbo (he's been trying this word for a while now). Twice he's picked up his ball and said ball (baby version with no strong L). And yesterday we were reading a book on body parts and when we got to eyes he pointed to his own eyes. It's been fun to hear and see all these things but it's not really consistent. To get him to say Bubbo for Karl took days. Sometimes it's clear as a bell and sometimes not.
I'm taking the tax/law section of the CPA exam on Monday the 28th. It is probably going to be the death of me. This whole week I've spent 2 hrs studying during Carson's nap and then 4 more once he goes to bed at 8. So I'm up till midnight studying every night and then I have to get up and do it again. I'll be glad to get this one over with. Then I plan to do Audit around mid-August. I'll take the financial section in October (the test isn't offered in Sept).
Karl's just been working hard and watching Carson, and making dinners, and cleaning the house. He has really pulled through for me. I'm so grateful he's willing to do so much so I can get this test over with.
I still haven't touched a camera, so sorry - no pics. I have to get back in the swing of things and carry it around with me every where like I did before.

Just A Few Things
Hey all -
So there hasn't been much going on. I usually like to post with pics but I haven't even touched a camera since Hawaii.
Primary ended up not being a nightmare. The 1st counselor felt bad for me so she didn't go out of town!! The CPA test went well, I think. I felt pretty good about it and wasn't nearly as nervous taking it as I was that morning. It takes a while to find out how you did though so we'll see. Other than that we've just been relaxing and studying.
We spent the weekend at Karl's parents with most of the family. Kim and HL are moving to Utah so it was a last get together kind of thing. We hung out and played games. It was fun and nice to see Kim and HL before they go - we'll all miss them.
Saturday Karl and I went and had family pics taken. We went to the Mesa Performing Arts Center. It was pretty cool. The photographer (Denee Ray) is mailing me the photos tomorrow but she has already posted them on her blog. I added a link on my "friends and family blogs" to the left. You can go see some on her blog. I'm really happy with them. When we were taking them there were of course ones where I was like "oh...I don't like my chin in the pic" or "my eyes are squinting" etc, etc, etc. But there are definitely a lot of cute ones too. We picked a good day too. It was overcast so it wasn't crazy hot, just 90. We also did them early and I was really glad. As we were finishing up Karl and I were really starting to sweat. I just found her online, liked her pics and her price, and called her. I had a feeling she was LDS though. When we got there she asked how we met and we said at BYU. Then she said she had a feeling we were LDS too. It's just funny that sometimes you can tell.
That's about all, I'll post some fam pics on here too when I get them.
