Halloween 2007

Thanks to Brecke and Matt- we were able to celebrate in style for this year's Halloween. The theme: Hollywood. The outcome: We all look amazing!

Thanks Court for the picture!

One of my best days....

Great times had by all in of all places Salem UT, population 700 (today 1500). Justin, Kyra, Beau and Chanse swam in the famous Salem Pond, then in the transition area Jeff, Matt, Brecke and Dad put the pedal to the metal for the tour de salem. Dad stopped to service a fallen salem samaritan, Matt got his metal works skill award fixing his bike chain, Justin just kept on going no need to pass the baton, Brecke flew around the track like Mom puts down a diet coke, and Jeff coasted through like Lance. In the bike to run transition several bikers hit the pavement, but not the carlson team. Justin ran and tore it up, Lacey took the baton from Jeffrey Scott kissed him on the cheek and ran down the competish, Coury could not wait any longer and ran toward dad while dad was helping the fallen cyclist and grabbed the baton shouting, "show me the money" and ran to the finish, Courtney stole the show while she happily waived to all the fans and finished strong, Pammy Jane raised the bar for the elite group and showed her children, and grandchildren how to win the race of life.

One of my best days....

Goodbye Dallus.

Thanks for being such a sweet dog, D-bum. You were a very fun, happy, loyal, sweet, tender friend. Now, go play with Rudy-T.

Mother Dear We love you SO....

Our Mom is Awesome. I love it how mom never speaks about herself, she is always interested in my life, kids, career etc. I remember such phrases as, "ligajidama", "nine-wiener" and "Karl Malone is a mormon". We have all had great memories with Mom and heard the different phrases; please share some as we honor our diet coke loving, super Jazz fan, wonderful grandma, and mother.

President's Weekend 2007

(This is Stayce and Savannah.)

Sorry I don't have any of Cavin and Sawyer! (Me mostly.) Or more of Savannah!

(Sorry Jeff and I were the party-poopers.)

Thanks all for a fun weekend!

112 days, 275 hours, thousands of seconds, and not exactly sure on this until the Carlson Family Triathlon

So start hydrating, drink that H2O, dizzle the fizzle, down the hatch, drink it up, cheers, all for one and oxygen with some hydrogen2, and just drink it.
The Benefits of drinking the good stuff, "Water"
1. It is a commandment
2. Each cell in the body has a water component
3. Increases brain activity
4. Increases energy
5. Saves time (you don't have to wait in line at maverick when buying a diet coke)
6. Helps joints and muscles
7. Saves $$$ less than that Dr. Pepper
8. Increases metabolism
9. Helps with the bowels (mom said, guy!)

Recommended is Half the body weight in ounces, I weigh 300 lbs so I will need to drink 150 ounces a day. Kymbal weighs 34 lbs she drinks 17 ounces a day. Consult Beau for more information. I have heard a personal trainer recommend a gallon a day.

Get er dun.
