The innocence of a five year old

Yesterday we went to walmart and as I was parking the car, Carson asked me why we have to go to the doctor sometimes? I told him that we have to try and keep our bodies healthy and that the doctor helps us do that. He then told me that one day he wants to grow up to be a doctor. Mallory (who is a copy cat to Carson) said " I want to be a doctor too!" Carson then replied well you will just have to be my assistant. She agreed and off we were on our Walmart adventure.


Then today Carson asked me "Mom when is Papa John coming back to the earth?" I explained to him that I did not know for sure when he was coming back but he would come when Jesus came. I then told him that because we don't know when they are coming we need to make sure that we are good and choose the right all the time. He looked at me and said "Well mom, you don't choose the right all the time!" Nothing like a wake up call from a five year old. I then asked "Why do you say that?" He said "Well you say naughty words all the time!" OK, how do I respond to that. I said "What naughty words?" Then I thought do I really want to ask that question. His reply was well you always say "no Carson" or "don't do that" or "Not right now" Boy I was so relieved that he really didn't know bad words. He is so Cute!


Back to our Walmart Adventure (we have alot of these!) Shane & I celebrated our 15 year anniversary today. Boy how time flies when you are having fun (or might I say CRAZY life!) Anyways, I was walking around Walmart and I asked my sister in law April "What you do get someone who you have been married to for 15 years. Carson spoke up and replied "Maybe you should get him a new BRAIN!" We laughed so hard at him! Anyways, We ended up getting Shane the Wii Fit. I am sure the kids will enjoy it more than Shane. Shane was so sweet and got me 15 red roses delivered to the house. They are so beautiful. He is so sweet and I don't tell him enough how much I love him! Fifteen years ago was the day that I made the best decision of my life. He truely is my best friend and I love him! (Did I already mention that I LOVE HIM!) HaHaHa :)

Happy Birthday Carson!

It finally came! Carson has been waiting for a life time to have his birthday! He had a wonderful day! We had all of the cousins on the Randall side over for Sunday dinner & cake and Ice cream. He got a birthday card from grandma & grandpa Andersen, a lego set from the Randall Family, & a sprinkler from mom & dad! Oh, so much fun! I can't believe that he is five! He will start school this year. Oh, how the time flys! He is such a sweet part of our eternal family. His personality and spirit is always so sweet and kind. We love his big smile and his big hugs! The Lord truely blessed us with such a sweet little boy! We love you Carson!

Soccer! Hey its over!!!!

Soccer is now over. Well it has been for a few weeks but I am just getting pictures on the blog. Shane & I decided to sign all four of our kids up for soccer, and during this time have a baby too! What were we thinking? It was a really crazy time with pratices and games every saturday! But somehow we did it! Will we do it again? NO! Shelby really didn't care for soccer but she stuck it out. Conner & Kara really enjoyed playing. Conner is pretty fast and scored a few goals in the season. Kara really liked her coach and had fun. Carson, well lets just say that he was more interested in what he was going to have as a snack after the game. Towards the end of the season he did get a little more into the ball. Oh, what fun times!

Tessa's Blessing Day

She looks like an angel! Thank you Grandma Debbie for such a beautiful dress. We had a wonderful day. Lots of Aunts & Uncles, cousins, grandma & grandpas came to support us on this special day. She has truely blessed our family!

Life is a little CRAZY!!

Well, as you can see I have not posted for a long time. I guess I have been busy trying to figure out a new schedule with a new baby! Oh, so fun! The last 2 months has been so fun! Tessa sure does bring a sweet spirit into our home! I was sitting on the couch with her the other day and Conner came up to her and kissed her on the cheek and said "Tessa, I am so glad you came to our house, you brought so much love with you!" He is so sweet with her. I do believe that she was sent to us from Heavenly Father and before she left his presence Papa John kissed her and she brought with her his love for each one of us! We have had alot of night time talks about papa John. My kids have really been missing him lately. We pray every night that we will feel of his love. And we have!
We were so lucky to have Grandma Debbie come and visit us for awhole month! I just want her to know how much we enjoyed having her here. She was a big help to me and my kids loved having her here. I know that it was hard for Randall to have mom gone that long, and I just want him to know that I love and appreciate him. He has truely been a wonderful blessing to our family. He was able to come visit on Valentine weekend, we had a wonderful valentine party with our whole family. Tyson set up his DJ equipment and we had a dance. I had a hard time controlling my emotions when I saw my mom and randall dancing. I don't remember as a kid seeing my parents dance. I know he loves my mom and I am so grateful for him! We miss you both and want you to know that WE LOVE YOU!

Looks like we are going to the park for lunch today! I will post more later. Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
Love,
Becky

I just had to post this sweet pictures of Tessa Lynn. I am sure there will be more to come!

Tessa Lynn Randall

Heavenly Father has truely blessed us again with a sweet little spirit. She is so precious and soft.
I have been totally involved in just holding her and remembering the sweet feel of a newborns skin. She was born on January 20th @ 9:24 p.m. She weighed 8lbs. 1 oz. and 20 inches long. She has a little round head and a round face too. She also has RED hair. We are so excited about her hair color because now we have 3 red heads and 3 blondes. I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for sending us this little one. She is truely a joy and we are having so much fun.
