October

2010-10-23T16:20:00.004-06:00

So it has been a long time since I've posted anything on our blog...I blame it on not having a computer or internet at our house. That makes it a bit tricky.

Well, lets see...since our last post Carson has learned to scoot, crawl, stand, walk, eat big boy food, has 6 teeth and 2 molars coming in, and so many other things that would take too long to list. The three of us got in an car accident on September 1st and totalled our car. We just had some bumps and bruises and were pretty shaken up, but otherwise really lucky. We got an 05' Chevy Trail Blazer to replace the car. We like it's bigness and think of it as our "family car".

Carson has lots of fun with Grandma DeAnne watching him 2 days a week and with Alta, who runs a daycare out of her house, (she has some openings right now if anyone is looking for a great daycare) 3 days a week. Adam and I are both still working full time and are enjoying our jobs.

On September 25th we went to the Hogle Zoo for Carson's birthday. We had tons of fun watching Carson discover the different animals for the first time. We watched a little show with the elephants and he loved watching baby Zuri use her trunk and eat bread given to her by the zookeepers. A couple days later we had cake and ice cream. I made Cars a little baseball cake of his own to eat and destroy---he didn't react quite the way I thought he would. lol. He immediately stuck his hands in and then wouldn't touch it again. I don't think he liked his hands being messy, so I ended up feeding it to him. Thank you to every one who came to the Zoo and to the party and thanks for the gifts too, he loves them!!!

Update

2010-02-13T19:37:00.002-07:00

Hey. Just wanted to give an update since its been a while.

Carson is now 4 1/2 months old. He is getting pro at grabbing anything he can get his hands on and it goes right to his mouth. He loves bouncing whether you are holding him or he is in his bouncer. He rolled over for the first time this last week, from his tummy to his back. I think he took himself by surprise because his eyes got really big when he realized what had happened:) We also recently started feeding him rice cereal. He wasn't quite sure what to do with it at first, but now we can't shovel it in his mouth fast enough. :)

Adam and I are still working at the same places. We just got a new 37" LCD tv with our tax refund. I never really paid attention to the difference between different tvs and the different qualities, but I can sure see the difference now. Its fun.

Well that's all for now.

Happy Boy

Getting ready for Christmas!!!

2009-12-16T21:44:00.005-07:00

Here is Carson wearing the Santa outfit Grandma Dallof bought for him:)

At Carson's last appointment he weighed 12 pounds!! He is growing so fast! He has the sweetest personality and it develops more every day. He is still sleeping through the night (thank goodness) and through much of the day lately too.

We are so excited for his first Christmas. Its funny how the season seems more meaningful with him around. Every time I hear someone talk about baby Jesus I feel so thankful for my baby boy and wonder how Mary must have felt holding her little child who she knew was divine. I love this season and couldn't be happier to spend it with Adam and our new addition:)

Baby Carson

2009-10-29T22:53:00.002-06:00

Baby Carson has finally arrived!! I can't believe it has already been a month!!!!!

Carson Adam Rogers was born September 27, 2009 at 1:42pm. He weighed 7 pounds even and was 21 inches long (tall?). He is the most precious baby (yes i am partial) and has made us so happy:) More to come...

Adam's Project

2009-08-23T20:33:00.003-06:00

Well this has been my recent project. I have been wanting to make something for a while, but couldn't think of anything. I was online the other day and saw these plans to make a poker table. I really wanted to make it so I put my own spin on it and off I went. This is not complete yet, but the last picture is what it will look like kind of. There will be a "racetrack" around the blue playing surface and then the base will fold up for storage. It has been fun to make and I can't wait to have a poker night with it!

Prego Pic

2009-08-15T19:48:00.014-06:00

Well, I finally got a picture of my prego belly. I know I feel like I am huge, but some people say I'm still small. Today I am 32 weeks and 4 days (but who's counting, right?). I've been wearing Adam's clothes now for about a month cuz none of mine fit:)

We still haven't decided on a name. We both liked Boston for a while and then Adam started leaning towards Caleb. Now I just think we are waiting to see him before we decide for sure.

Baby moves around a lot and keeps me on my toes. Actually he keeps me laying down because he's in my ribs a lot and when that starts to ache laying down is the only thing that relieves it:) Also I've been one of those lucky ladies that has developed gestational diabetes so I get to control that with changing my diet. I basically just have to count carbs, but its hard to get used to. There's only so many cucumbers and lettuce (both have 0 carbs) a girl can handle. :) Oh and I get to prick my fingers 4 times a day to check my blood sugars. I don't mind too much. Just part of the drill now and my baby boy is worth it.

The other pic is just of some cute little outfits we got today. We are trying to slowly get ready for the arrival of our little boy, but there is still a long way to go...

Our Baby Boy!!!

2009-05-23T19:13:00.005-06:00

Well, I think its time for another post. So here it goes...

Adam and I are pregnant!! We just found out last week that we are having a boy and he is due the first week of October:) I am feeling our little wiggle worm move around all the time now and Adam has felt him a few times as well. I think that's gotta be one of the best feelings I've experienced. We have some good pictures from the ultrasound, so I picked out the three that are easiest to see him in.

The first is pretty obvious...its his profile. Doesn't he just look perfect?! (I'm biased already:))

The second is looking down on his face. You can see his arm up by his head and even some little fingers, and also his round belly.

The third is the pic where we can tell he's a boy. I won't give too much detail except to say that you are looking at him from below.

We are so excited!! I am going to be better at updating our blog now that we have some more excitement in our lives. We are sure enjoying the anticipation of the arrival of Baby Rogers:)

My new business!!!

2009-01-12T19:32:00.002-07:00

I just started selling Scentsy as an Independant Consultant!! I'm so excited!
I am having two launch parties soon, one on the 17th and one on the 24th of January! Please come if you would like to or can, or you can check out my website www.scentsy.com/lrogers

December Already?

2008-12-09T20:38:00.002-07:00

Wow, a lot of time has gone by. I can't believe that this year is winding down so quickly. It has been a crazy year and I'm not going to be sad to start a fresh new one.

Last month Adam and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary!! We were planning on going to Park City for the day (that's where we spent our honeymoon), but ended up staying in the valley. We both took the day off and had a lot of fun spending the day together. :) I love you babe!!!

Both Adam and I are enjoying our jobs. Our insurance kicks in on January 1st so it will be great to feel more secure.

Well, we went to "The Forgotten Carols" with Scott, DeAnne, Jonathan and Zach yesterday and between that and the fact that we finally got some snow, its starting to feel like Christmas. (I guess its a good thing seeing that its only 16 days away.) I really am grateful for this time of year. I love the opportunity to think of ways to serve others, give gifts (even if they are just homemade) and most importantly, think about our Savior and His life. I know that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and He personally knows each of us. Its a wonderful feeling to know that and I hope that I (and each of us) will be able to help spread that feeling to others throughout this Christmas season!!

Another New Job

2008-10-19T21:24:00.003-06:00

Random Picture I know, but oh well.

We are very excited (and a bit relieved) because Adam starts his new job tomorrow! He will be working for Cyprus Credit Union. Training will be two weeks, and we're not sure if after that he will be working at the branch in Jordan Landing or the one in Taylorsville. They will be letting him know in the next few days though. We are hoping for the Taylorsville branch because then it will be closer to home and it will be full-time as opposed to part-time. It is going to be a good job either way though so we are stoked!

I am still enjoying my job and love the people I work with. The only downside to my job is that it is downtown and it is a 30 min commute each way. But I have been listening to books on cd so I guess it makes the drive not only bearable, but enjoyable as well.

2008-10-11T21:06:00.002-06:00

So it has been a little while since we started this blog, well I should say Les started it, and I have yet to contribute. So here goes! I just wanted to send a shout out to the most wonderful woman I know, my beautiful, amazing wife! I have to tell her here how much I love her. We have been married for about 11 months now....holy cow when did the last year go by? It's so crazy, we have moved 3 times and one of those moves was a 300 mile move from cedar city to murray. We get through it all. I know I couldn't have done it without the love of my life. Thanks hunny! I love you so much. You are the bestest ever!

Love your hubsband!

2008-10-05T19:18:00.002-06:00

Its been a couple of weeks, so I guess I should update some info. First of all, I HAVE A NEW JOB! It is very different from my old convergys job in the fact that I actually like it. That's always a positive. I work for Morgan Jewlers in their corporate office in downtown Salt Lake. Basically what I do is quality control for the merchandise that comes in from different vendors. I basically get to play with diamonds all day, and as we all know, "diamonds are a girls best friend."

Well this weekend was just wonderful for me. It was both Adam's and my mission reunions on Friday, and we actually made it to both of them! It was good to visit with old companions and get news on members and investigators in both Detroit and Calgary!

On Saturday night I went out to dinner with a couple of members (one being Caleb from the Cranston ward that I taught while I served in the ward) and two of my companions. It was so good to see them all and to catch up. I've been really bad and keeping in touch with a lot of the people from my mission so this alieviated some of my guilt for being a horrible corispondant:)

Then of course it was conference weekend. I think the talk that I loved the most (for now, it always changes just like my favorite scripture always changes) was Elder Worthlin's. He advised all of us to laugh.

In other news, our home computer got a virus and is currently out of commission, so its difficult to do all the day to day stuff that you rely on a computer for. Obviously. Hopefully we will get it fixed soon, but who knows when it will actually happen?

Job Hunting

2008-09-18T21:55:00.002-06:00

Well, the search is on! Both Adam and I have resigned/quit Convergys and we are ready for something new. Combined we have had 6 interviews in the last week for three different jobs. They went really well and we will find out by the beginning of next week whether we get them or not. Cross your fingers!!!

The fair!!

2008-09-10T00:40:00.002-06:00

Yesterday we went to the fair! I always love the fair. I love every bit of it. I think each year my favorite things are the animal shows they have and looking at all the booths and kiosks. Plus there's the huge cows and the little ponies, the rides that are always rediculously priced, the food that lets face it you can't get anywhere else (deep fried peanut butter sandwiches?), or to put it in Templton's words, "a veritable smorgasbord."
Then we also went to the rodeo grounds. They didn't have an actual rodeo going on, but they were having competitions with coyboys on horses rounding up 3 specific cows out of a herd of about 30. I actually really enjoyed it! We stayed for several rounds of the competition and got to experience a bit of the good ol' american cowboy life (the sights, the SMELLS, the boots, the hats the bandana's, spurs...etc). It was great!

Happy birthday Dad!! 60 years old and still a goofball! I love you daddy!

Well, we are halfway through our training at convergys. It is a good job, but we are both going to start looking for new jobs. So if you have any suggestions or know of any openings, we are open to them. I know our page is pretty empty right now, but we are working on getting pictures and things together so we can get things rolling. :)

As this is our first entry I'll just summarize what is going on in our lives right now. We just moved up to Murray on August 15 and we are still adjusting to our new apartment. But we love it! Its nice and spacious, and it will feel like home soon. Right now both Adam and I are working at Convergys. Our schedule is crazy right now; we are working 3:30-midnight. The nice thing about it is that we get to work together:) (also that schedule will only last for two more weeks). Also, a year ago today is when Adam proposed. I can't believe its been a year!!!
