Post from Carter

Tonight as we were getting Carter ready for bed he did this...We then said prayers and soon after he asked if he could be a "magnet". I had no idea what he was talking about until he said "lets do it again", meaning this... So if you or your kids want to learn how to be a magnet here are some tips from Carter :)Sometimes he just makes us laugh :D

Camping

Here are the pics of our camping trip we took the last weekend in June. I am finally getting them posted. We had so much fun and our camp site was full of caterpillars. There were only 2 sites left and so it was either deal with the caterpillars or drive an hour to find other camp grounds, that may be full. So we decided to befriend the billions of caterpillars and the boys enjoyed it. We camped with some friends from our ward and we all had a blast! Carter loved roasting marshmallows but didn't like eating them...more for me, hehe He did a great job too :) The next day we decided to hike to Stewart Falls. (From Left to Right: Mike, Grant, Emily, Art, Naomi, Hyrum, Cindy, Carter and Gordon) Carter and Grant liked hiking and "doing it themselves" but soon got tired of it and hitched a ride on their Dad's shoulders. The falls were beautiful and it was a great way to cool off after the hike. On the hike back both Carter and Grant fell asleep and we switched off holding Carter. Here he is with Art towards the end of the hike. Wow, his legs are long!We all had a blast hanging out and getting to know each other better. We will definitely do this again soon. Maybe next time without the caterpillars ;)

Sweet!!!!

So for all you out there that don't really know Carter you probably won't find this as awsome as I do, but......Carter threw up in the toilet today!!!! He got up from the table and said his tummy hurt so I immediately thought he had to poop. I took him into the bathroom and he starting crying because it hurt him and by the way he was acting I knew he was going to loose his lunch. So we stood at the toilet and it all came out. I couldn't be more thrilled :) Carter has had an issue with throwing up and it's just him. I can't tell you the number of times we have had to clean his car seat, highchair, bed, toys and especially clothes from this nasty grossness. Needless to say Gordon and I are immune to the smell and know his signs now. I hope this is a turning point and that he will tell us next time he needs to do this again. I told him the toilet is the best place to throw up and hopefully he will remember it. Other then that things are doing really well. We went camping with some friends last weekend and we are going to Cali next weekend for a Family Reunion :) Plus this weekend is the 4th! Happy 4th of July Everyone!!! We hope you all are Safe, Happy and Healthy!!!
