My friend got married

My dear and oldest friend got married.  I have been waiting for this my whole childhood.  I went up to Utah and was so glad that I could be there.  She and I watched all of older brothers and sisters get married.  We talked about what our wedding was going to be like and who we were going to marry.  I was excited I could be apart of her wedding and I am so excited for her.

Taking care

The kids saw me carry around Carter like this in a little wrap and they wanted to do the same.  They were so cute.  They were riding their bikes like this and taking care of their babies.

Cousins came to town

The cousins came into town for a week and my kids loved it.  It was heaven for them to play over at grandma's house with their cousins everyday was fabulous.  Eliza's cousin got her a matching dress and Eliza wore it everyday.  They made up dances and played dress up.  It was wonderful.

I went up to Boise to watch my sister's kids while she was on a cruise but I left Eliza and Fenton in town to play with their cousins and they had a blast.

Carter is 1

Carter turned 1 on Feb 11.  He has grown up so much.  He started walking about 9 1/2 months and hasn't stopped moving since.  He loves his brother and sister.  He wants to be with them, playing with them where ever they are.  He loves balls and so I attempted soccer ball cupcakes.  The day of his birthday he was riding a tricycle with Fenton and he toppled over and scrached up his nose pretty good, so that is what happened to his nose.  I didn't take any picture of him and the cake because his nose was so messed up.

Carter sure has won the heart of his dad.  David can't wait to get him out of the crib in the morning to get a hug and a little snuggle before he is off studying.  Carter knows what he wants and he is becoming more and more vocal at letting us know what it is he wants.

He tries to help make a fire every morning by crumpling up paper to put in the fire place.  He also has become very good/excited with the Wii.  When the kids are playing, he is right next to them with a controller in hand doing the same gestures and making squeals. 

We love him very much and he has brought so much happiness to us and his siblings. 

  

 

snowboard bench

I got a new jigsaw and I had several ideas to use it and this was one of them.  I made a bench out of my old snowboard.  It was a little painful to put holes in my snowboard but I think it looks pretty cool.  I love my jigsaw and have a few more ideas up my sleeve.

Carter was exhausted

Carter was exhausted after his shots and fell asleep while shopping.  He never does this and was so cute so I had to take a picture.

7th anniversary

David and I celebrated our 7th anniversary.  My sister let us borrow her cabin near Cascade and it was awesome.  We went snowshoeing, played games, watched movies, played pool, ping pong, and sat by a fire.  It was so relaxing and beautiful.  I loved just being with my best friend.  I am so glad that he is in my life.  He is makes me want to be a better person.  He supports my crazy ideas and tells me he loves me everyday.  He is a honorable priesthood holder and tries to live by the spirit.  What a wonderful day it was to be with my husband of 7 years.
