California Trip & My Birthday

Hi All, so Carter and I are back from our trip(s) to California this month and here are a few pictures from our time there... These few are of Carter playing with my parents and Grandma's dogs. It took him a while to be ok with them and here they are "playing" with a toy. They actually bark a lot when playing. He was really happy when Mommy was playing too He even got brave enough to take the toy and throw itHere he is waking up Aunt Gina....WAKE UP! (he says) Yea, he got her to wake up and play :) Here he is with Aunt Stacy... And loving every bit of it :) We had a blast in California and can't wait to visit again....next time I will get the camera out more often too. Also, it is my Birthday today and we had a party over the weekend... We had Mike & Emily & Grant and Art & Naomi & Hyrum over and we really had a fun time. After dinner and some playtime we put the boys (babies) to bed and played Cranium. It was so fun!Carter loved having Grant over again :) So other then traveling and partying things are going great here. We are enjoying the nice weather and are excited for more to come :)

Happy Mother's Day to All you Mother's and Mother's to be!

We hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day filled with love and family. I sincerely enjoy the time I get to spend with my wonderful husband and son. They are truly the love and joy in my life! I am so blessed to be a Mother and be able to teach Carter and watch him learn and grow. Which, by the way, happens so fast. Here are some tokens of their appreciation for me as their wife and mother... Thank you Gordon, these flowers are wonderful and smell amazing! Carter made this in nursery and as I have been enjoying looking at it I noticed that the flower is his hand. They traced his hand and made it into this beautiful flower....what a sweet gift!

Bridal Veil Falls

We went to Bridal Veil Falls last night just to get out of the house and we had a lot of fun.Carter really enjoyed it too. He was thanking us like the whole time :) Great to spend time in nature for a bit And this picture I love :)

Here are the Pictures I promised...

This one was taken a couple of weeks ago...he was enjoying his bubble bath :) We went to the Mall and found that the fair was here so we had to stop and playCarter loved the rides and had a blast driving his own car!Then we did the merry-go-round and then, as a family, we did the apple ride that you sit in and it spins around... After doing 3 rides in a row of just circles we decided to take a break and walk off the dizziness Gordon and Carter had fun doing this one together :) Ok, so some fun things have happened I just haven't blogged about them....my bad. I will try and do better at this. We are so glad spring is finally here and hope you all are enjoying it :)

We are still here...

Yea, so it has been a long time since I've posted anything. I guess not much has really happened and I haven't thought about posting. Carter and I did go to Cali last week to visit for awhile. Total surprise trip...it just so happened that I was off work for a week so we decided to go play. Also my cousin got married while we were out there so it was fun to be there for that. And we are going again next weekend (the one after Mother's Day) to visit and be there for my Cousin's reception. That trip was planned awhile ago. Carter is growing like crazy and is doing really well with the potty training. I am so glad he is in underwear! It is so cute that he is standing to pee also :) And the weather has been so nice that we have been playing outside like all the time. The camera is in the car so I will get it out later today and get some new pictures to post. Hope you all are doing well!!
