First of all, on the way to the campground the transmission on the van blew again and my dad went and rescued the boys and once they transferred everything to my dad's car they were on their way again.

Have I ever mentioned how wonderful my dad is???</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then the next day the girls and Anderson joined the boys and we had a good time until Anderson went to bed.

What I enjoy most about it is that we can spend a little bit of down time together while doing something we all like. </div><div><br /> </div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433777337246030098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 206px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 131px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVfhEBV9vEN4YWLJobHd9fG8iExH2G1P6JEHsUrafJoi7AH0xKKS5D4vDl2mBcGX3zbjMdXUnYXmtcvSnS1K2sF8n18fxV0G0wum5S39Sj_PVoycG4ovtzh_izTvzTgpQakU16GbdBbU/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">One of the shows we have all enjoyed watching is American Idol. I know that Carter loves the comic relief it provides with all the crazy people they show trying out. He has even made comments a few times about the really bad contestants saying "They don't really think they are good, right mom? They're just trying to be funny." To which I reply "I don't know Carter, sometimes I just don't know what those people think!"<br /></div><div align="center">Well the best was the other day we were watching and Porter said "You know the guy who has hair like mine?" I said "Are you talking about Simon?" He said "Ya, him. Well you know he's actually kinda pathetic really?" Laughing at his comment I ask why he thinks he's pathetic and Porter replies "Well he just doesn't ever think that anyone is good enough and you can't just think that about <em>everyone</em>!"</div><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433785625888121938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 172px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpAGxhB2PBA06oYUkRZ_xMhhZltX7zCoTNXx_gVV0jpIE89Jq7tEon7dUxkpe7zsVF7CZzbk_58Rhow7wbyhZ3KJTPDquiDYNubl9HJ3mbn_5RqVJR6PkX9dfb9hZaOhpbwrbhb8pCNig/s320/images+2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Another show that Porter and I really have fun watching together is America's Next Best Dance Crew!

He asked me to record it one day while it was on and I've turned it on for him quite a few times since. I watch it with him, not really seeing the appeal, and ask if he really likes it. He doesn't just like it...he loves it! It cracks me up the way they take to certain things.<br /></div><div><a id="apf0" href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.buddytv.com/usrimages/usr600095909/600095909_f81eb3dd-afc6-41e7-b01c-ee1c751df0fe-american-idol-logo.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.buddytv.com/kady-malloy.aspx&usg=__CTNkRlvg1iRUH3hdFaeyp4HpFa8=&h=300&w=400&sz=16&hl=en&start=1&sig2=Hox9z1uNjep8yt5NGnGQBA&itbs=1&tbnid=Pxqt4gKy1oVHzM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3DAmerican%2BIdol%26hl%3Den&ei=r5JoS_xqj5CzA_GXqIkF"></a> </div>carihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11547643542929894176noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925021680081705656.post-42918520236313245562010-01-26T11:21:00.000-08:002010-01-26T11:25:12.659-08:00I Just Don't Get It<div align="center"> </div><br /><br /><div align="center">Carter ate this cookie and left it sitting on the table.

I love people who blog 365 days a year. I wish I could commit to doing something like that but i'm just not even going to try. I will try to post on a more regular basis so I can keep better track of the "Goings on" of the Rath family.</div><div align="center">HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our family and friends--here's to blogging!<br /><br /></div>carihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11547643542929894176noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925021680081705656.post-48773915287299475972010-01-14T13:37:00.001-08:002010-01-14T23:27:05.615-08:00Christmas 2009<div align="center"> Christmas Eve day we went to Lakewood to celebrate Christmas with Sam's family.

My first instinct is to decline just because it is so emotional to be in that setting, admiring my precious little newborn son, while thinking what a blessing Christ's birth is in all our lives. I choke back the tears and realize what a great opportunity it is. Our friend Debbie Robinson from the Palos Verdes Stake, who has recently moved to Temecula, was in charge of the nativity room and so she took these pictures of us.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426673026032978034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTs2tmIPc-dcksVJ_y0N92IjY5eGK9-he0F-W9BVYjXTIU-aesd_IvFAgmoeBYVLpfwVXUCMed7m9H2STtsNirFMz5V_jYK1Jj1kYPi3hGXeC7OU0VmVJbMzNop9Joyz_XXMhzFCsGhxU/s320/IMG_7201.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">Anderson loved staring at the star that was shining above his head and he also enjoyed the soloist behind the backdrop singing "Silent Night".</div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426673038901534274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGSeWZ9HwwZP8hXSQA5twXq4bVFmcENOYxS5R-B9tclsPZN1JbZimyQOblsLyrK7KdYIyZd4-7tk9txaJtpuVcHOKEDxv08au8LN6p63mbpsh8jzgjEiV2qL5nY63xl9PBlgMu2f1FwQ/s320/IMG_7204.JPG" border="0" /><br />It was so wonderful admiring our sleeping baby while thinking about the baby Jesus.</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfHItdLMIYmXvUw3yK_2_wUto6nMAgVIIVVMCcqRcRaPQO2toN50amQO501G7qdeZHxMQdOokksBXlXAhhKA67bB6kT1UKm6o_ibfErB8OD8FLGSA9CjVwyunhoM2LOUePJpoUjtpwa4/s1600-h/IMG_7206.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426673046911180610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfHItdLMIYmXvUw3yK_2_wUto6nMAgVIIVVMCcqRcRaPQO2toN50amQO501G7qdeZHxMQdOokksBXlXAhhKA67bB6kT1UKm6o_ibfErB8OD8FLGSA9CjVwyunhoM2LOUePJpoUjtpwa4/s320/IMG_7206.JPG" border="0" /></a> Anderson did get a little fussy about halfway through our time in there and Sam did a wonderful job getting him to sleep and we were finally able to put him in the manger.
