WOW I am not good at my blog:)

Yea so I haven't done the blog thing for quite a while:) I didn't realize how long it had really been. So what is going on in the Carlsen house. Kip is working hard at school, getting very close to being finished. He is also busy in our church bishopric. He loves to run and is working on getting ready for this next years Ragnar race. I am actually quite jealous. So if anyone out there needs a runner. Keep me in mind!!!! Me, well ummmmmm..... busy with 3 crazy but fun kids. I now have a salon in my basement so I have been working on getting some more business. I also work as a Zumba instructor and a gym in Draper. Looking to do more with that soon:) If you haven't tried Zumba you should!!!! Just wondering if I am the only mom out there that can not keep up with the house work, dinner, kids, work, working out, all of the above..... hehe life is not what you think it is once you grow up. Dylan kindergarten this year:( I am actually having a hard time watching my kids grow up. I am scared that I won't be able to teach them well enough for this world we live in. But he is strong so I am sure he will be great!!! He has so many great friends, he is smart and loving school finally:) He rights in cursive already and is ready great. Sienna I don't know where to begin. SASSY!!!! She had a attitude that goes on and on. The other day Kip told her something. Oh did she give him the head nod and the finger ,"no daddy, no daddy, i don't think so." yea that is what I am creating. But she is kind and a good sister when she chooses. She cleans up messes when I ask, she washes her hands without being told, she wants to help me around the house. Girls are different!!!! Seth my cute little OOPS:) I won't tell him that. He is funny!!!! He thinks he is older than two I think because he is so close in age to Sienna. But he fits right in with us Carlsens. He holds his own when things go wrong. Sometimes that isn't always good! So Seth loves cars, he loves to play just quietly by himself. But he also loves when mommy reads him books, sings, or does puzzles. He thinks he has big muscles and when he gets mad he shows them off and scrunches his face. It's awesome!!!! It has been an interesting year and a half. A lot changed a while back but we are doing good, and we are a very close and strong family. I can't wait to start blogging again and seeing how all my friends and family are doing. I still might not be very good but I will work on it.

Sienna had such a wonderful 3rd birthday. It is so hard to see them grow up! But she keeps getting a little more fun every day and a little more sassy which is kinda scary. She is a wonderful big sister to Seth, they are little buddies. Life has been crazy but is now becoming so much fun. I love my little red!!

I love this picture of Sienna, you can actually see her eyes.

For once she isn't crying.




Bring it on :) So we had so much fun on our little trip. The kids keep asking when we get to go back. All I can say is " one day " We went the first week of march and all I can say is perfect! It rained a little one day, but wasn't to crowded. So we liked that part a lot. 

So much has happened.

Four Generations. 
Me and my momma :)
I have been terrible at blogging. Life has been crazy busy. My mom went into the hospital on Feb 14 she is out now and doing better. She spent two weeks at the hospital. After she got home and everything was good my sister and I decided to go on our trip we had planned to DisneyLand. It worked out and was fun I will post pictures soon. After we got home mom was doing good she was happy and her strength was coming back. Last Monday she had to go back to the hospital for a blood clot. She is home again and doing well. My mom is such an example to me. She is so strong and doesn't let anything hold her down. My kids love her so much and so do I!! Love you momma I am so happy you are home.

WE LIKE TO SLEEP!!!!

My little Sienna, she finds the most interesting places

to take a nap :)
Poor Seth! 

My little chunk!!!!!!!!!

I know I have posted this before, I can't get over it!



I don't think my kids get a very good night sleep :) They are always falling asleep in very random places. It sure makes for good pictures.  Gotta love them.
