Yesss for Spring!!

Thursday, February 28, 2008

I am so excited that spring is coming! Though Utah spring is nothing like California spring, it is still nice to have the weather getting warmer and the snow melting. Carter is loving it too! Especially when he gets to ride his "motorcycle"... You can see how "un-green" and muddy everything is but at least it's not snow :) Carter and Morgan love riding their motorcycles together!Morgan is a little girl I have in my Day Care. She is 1 month younger than Carter.The little turkey wouldn't smile for me...Oh well, he's still cute!

Some fun things...

Since I haven't posted anything in a while here are some more pictures and fun things we have done... We had a game night at our ward and Carter got to play the drums with Daddy :)I am totally not talented enough to do that with Carter but I did try some dance moves on the playstation...it was a blast and I'm sure I looked like a dork doing it so don't expect any pictures...haha Carter and Morgan also got to paint together. I can't wait till the weather is nice enough to do this outside. I am doing so much better after my surgery. The recovery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is a plus, so everything is pretty much back to normal now. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, concerns and help! I am SO glad that is over with!!!

Happy (late) Valentine's Day!

Sorry this is late but, for those who don't know, I had my gall bladder removed on Wed. The recovery is going very well and I am so glad that Gordon gets to be home and take care of me. We hope that everyone had a great Valentine's Day! Knowing that I wouldn't be feeling good to do anything we celebrated early by going to our Stake Valentine's dance, and we had a blast! Gordon got me a dozen roses for Valentine's day and also to help me feel better....such a sweet man!It is so fun spending this time with Gordon and Carter. Even though I am not feeling my best it is fun to be home and just relax.

Update...

Friday, February 8, 2008

I just wanted to update you all about Carter's fat lip...it's doing Great! Still needs a little more time to heal but looks a lot better. Other then that we both have colds :( Thankfully Gordon hasn't caught it but we are just taking it easy here at the Smith house. Sorry no "new" pictures today. Carter's poor nose is so red from blowing it so often that I figure I will post one that you maybe haven't seen before. Hope you all are doing good and have a Great weekend! Can't wait to go outside and play again...that is, without turning into an ice sickle Carter's first time messing up his room...those were the daysOh, did I say one picture....well I found a couple that I wanted to post. Here we are in San Francisco. Alcatraz is behind Carter. Carter's enjoying a lemon at "Bubba Gumps"We got to go to Pixar while in San Fran and have a personal tour....it was Great! Thanks Ben :) Carter was ssooo tired. And for another update...I am having my gall balder surgery on Wednesday. Yes, the day before Valentine's day. But our Stake is having a Valentine's dance tomorrow so we are just going to celebrate early. Now I just hope I feel better from my cold to go dancing...I'm sure I will be feeling just fine ;)

Thomas S. Monson is our new Prophet :)

New Couches

Here are our new couches! We got them a couple of weeks ago and just Love them :) Carter loves them too. When it's bed time he wants to sleep on the "new couches mommy" They recline and are so comfortable!Also, Carter tripped and fell into one of the kitchen table chairs last night and got a fat lip. He is totally teething...getting both eye teeth in. They have broken through and are making him so unbalanced...he keeps falling all over the place. With these 2 new teeth he now has 14 teeth!! He's been pretty happy with these teeth coming in. With minimal vomiting...thank goodness! And...yes...these pictures were taken today :)

Here are some recent pictures I wanted to post... We got together with Gordon's family and played "Guitar Hero" it was so fun!! Rock it Gordon!!! We had a great time taking Carter sledding....and he LOVED it!
He loves to have his bath water colored
Carter had fun coloring the snow...we got a ton and there is still more to come
Carter had 2 birthday parties. One in Cali and one in Salt Lake. Yesss, Carter's 2!!
We were in California for Christmas afternoon till after the New Year so we celebrated an early Birthday party for Carter. We had a great time there!

Didn't think this would happen...

So all I did was leave a comment on Joy's blog site and now I am setting up my own blog. Yea, never thought this would happen! It's great though...now family and friends can see new pictures and videos of us and Carter growing. Which is amazing how much he is learning every day! This isn't a recent picture of him but it will work for now. This is Carter at 18 months playing around while we are trying to take our own "professional" pictures of him.
